What do you think sets you apart from your peers? Simply, following through on what I say I’ll do. You have to be the whole package. You cannot have deficiencies in your pitch, ever. We are dealing with multi-million dollar properties. You HAVE to be on your “A” game. One of biggest mottos that I harp on with the team is ‘preparation and presentation’ Prepare the night before for a big meeting/pitch and always be prepared for pitching clients on your regular day-to-day dealings. It sounds so simple but you’d be surprised how many agents don’t do it. It’s no wonder why 86% of all agents quit within their first 6 months. No one wants to prepare and do the hard stuff. The sale/pitch starts from the MOMENT you make eye contact with your client or say your first hello on the telephone. Make it memorable, be punctual, be prepared, greet them with a warm and sincere

Do you have any advice for Buyers? It depends if the buyer is buying a primary residence, second home, or an investment property. But at the end of the day do your research and simply don’t be afraid to pull the trigger. Too often people are making their largest decision when purchasing their home.

pull the trigger, you will be just fine. It’s not a guarantee, but very rarely will you be on the wrong end of the stick. Real estate will continue to appreciate.

They ALWAYS work out if you keep pushing forward. Sometimes a good decision turns bad & sometimes a bad decision turns good. Don’t stress and move forward. What is meant to be, will be.
