Each of us had been going at it solo for many years, and from an outside view we were all “successful” in our businesses. But deep down, we all felt like we were missing something. Real Estate is about relationships and we have formed many deep and long-lasting ones. There’s a special connection that comes from helping a person get through such a huge moment in their life. It’s the reason we love
what we do. But something was still missing....
Community! There can be a lot of competition in our industry. Some of it’s good, some of it’s not, and this often leaves Realtors feeling a lack of any true partnerships. There has to be a better way to do this. A better way for us and for our clients. Early in 2019 Mike figured it out...Create a team! The idea came with some challenges though. Normal team structures can create an environment of competition and resentment. It’s not always the case, but we’d all heard horror stories from our friends who had been on a team before. Many of them said the team was more of a lead generation machine. The work environment was way too competitive. Some of them even said it was toxic. But competition can also be healthy. So we needed to combine healthy competition with some honesty and trust. We needed to create a place where our strengths and experiences would benefit each other. This way we could all work together to achieve some pretty amazing results for our clients. And so... the AlbertaRE Real Estate Team was born! A team of like-minded and experienced professionals. Real people with a commitment to honesty, transparency and teamwork. We’re all passionate about helping people, and together we're finding new and innovative ways to make that happen. We’re all seeing the advantages this is creating for our clients. They're now supported by a team of experts who genuinely want to help cut through the noise. To create an environment of transparency and honesty. To help make the complex and emotional feel clear and rational. We're educating and empowering people to make the best real estate decisions for their future. As an industry, Realtors are often viewed as the ‘gatekeepers’ of information. Many people feel that we withhold information in exchange for commitment and loyalty. This doesn't gel at all with our team's core beliefs. Our commitment is to provide as much information as possible, and to do it in a transparent, honest, and clear way. Our website is one example of how AlbertaRE is doing this. We're very proud to say we're the first group in Alberta to build a website that allows the public to access "Sold Data"! This was a huge step in the Alberta real estate industry. Our clients are also thrilled to have such an amazing mobile experience with our website, designed with mobile devices in mind first. This allows people to find the information they’re looking for quickly and easily while they’re on the go! Finally, our clients are experiencing the added value of collaboration within our team. We support each other on a regular basis. Whether it’s sharing expertise, promoting and discussing our listings, bouncing ideas and strategies off each other or supporting each other in a time of need, our clients get to reap the benefits of accessing our full team...a team of combined creativity and experience. We're bringing clarity to the confusion and chaos that can take place in this big world of real estate. As we grow together and understand each other on a much deeper level... we're establishing a true sense of community and family within our team. We're excited to bring this into our relationships with our clients.
