Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving happens to be one of my favorite holidays.  A day to give thanks for the prosperity that we have in our wonderful Country and a city that is second to none.  I remember once hearing a quote from one of our past Prime Ministers that I am only able to paraphrase. “We live in the best [...]

Your Other Number #1 Client

There are thousands of courses and coaching material available on how to put a deal together and or how to deal with clients.  However, there seems to be a real need for training material on how to, as I term it, deal with “your other #1 client” the agent. I’m writing this because I just recently received a call [...]

What Social Media is Not

I can’t escape it.  Somehow and some way, I’m perceived in the office as an internet techy.  Even as I started to write this, an agent walked in and said “can I ask you something since you’re so techy?” Truth be told, since I’m the Broker, I truly don’t mind.  I like being perceived as [...]

True Commitment

Ok I have to admit something.  I’m addicted to real estate.  This is no surprise to our agents, my friends and most definitely my family.  Its been 20 years since I achieved the license that would change my life forever.  I also made a realization…..I’ve been in the real estate business for over half my [...]

The Best Coach in the World

This year is my 20th year in real estate. It’s been a career with daily surprises and not a day has passed where I haven’t learned something.  Every day brings new experiences. During my sales career, I enjoyed working with buyers and sellers and assisted them to achieve their real estate goals and dreams.  Now as a Broker [...]

Are Buyer Agents Important?

Absolutely! In the past week, I had a couple of agents approach me with scenarios of potential buyer clients that were contacting individual listing agents to show them the property.  Some of the Buyer clients were even questioning the necessity to sign the agency agreements.   Everything we do and say educates our clients and at some [...]

Weekend Activity Shows Market Trends

For some, Monday mornings may be tough.  For me it’s a great day to hear the success stories from the weekend.  Monday is also the best day of the week because the results are in and we’re able to see trends and gauge just what the market is doing.   It was another successful weekend with many of our Ultimate [...]

A Matter of Trust

It was a call that I received with shock and disbelief.  As we know, a trust account is where Real Estate Brokerages and even lawyers place funds that is meant to be applied towards a client’s home purchase. In the case of RE/MAX Executive, with 3 branch locations being in Scarborough, Richmond Hill and Oak Ridges, hundreds [...]

Ideas To Grow Your Market Share – Part 2

Today, we had one of our more inspirational coaching classes.  I coached a group about Business Planning.  It was a topic that completely changed my career and it felt invigorating to be part of a room full of energy and excitement.  Through out the class, not only did we create the perfect business plan but we also shared personal success stories. One of [...]
