7 Things Learned from 7 Years in Real Estate

Cheers to 7 years!

We’ve learned, grown, and accomplished so much together. What we value as realtors… how we educate our clients… why we adopt new strategies… how we are set up for success.

Here is a list of 7 things we’ve learned as a team over the past 7 years in real estate.

1. OUR NETWORK IS OUR NET WORTH

We understand when working in an industry where our goal is to help our clients find their dream homes, we must go above and beyond just sealing the deal. It’s our mission to build a good rapport with every client our team comes across. We want to give our clients the confidence and sense of security that every home buyer/seller should feel toward their real estate agent.

2. ADAPT & ADOPT

The real estate profession has always been in a state of constant change and as REALTORS® we cannot control the market. What we can control is embracing the new realities of our times and formulating our business strategies around them. We are constantly re-examining, reassessing and questioning our approaches, skills and techniques to adapt, adopt and prosper in the ever-changing market.

3. COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Communication leads to everything that we do as real estate agents, whether we’re explaining the buying process to a first-time homebuyer or negotiating an offer for a seller. Before, during and after every transaction, we are there to make things easier. We are there to answer every question, every step of the process, never leaving our clients wondering.

4. BE A NEIGHBOURHOOD EXPERT

Being a real estate team who truly knows our local markets, we come with more knowledge of recent and historical listings and sold prices, taking into account the nuances of every street and its properties. This is crucial knowledge for positioning strategy and negotiations.

5. EDUCATING OUR CLIENTS

We want to ensure that our clients have a complete understanding of the buying or selling process. Taking the time to educate our clients sets the stage for a more streamlined and successful process. Hence, the creation of minkexperience.ca. We encourage you to visit our new website to explore our guides, checklists and how our team can help you.

6. LOCAL LOVE

We have strong local knowledge and a deep commitment to the success of our local communities. It’s the community and people around us who help us on our quest to success. Whether we’re sponsoring a local sports team, or supporting local businesses through hosting our own events, we love giving back and supporting our community.

7. DON’T STOP LEARNING

The MINK Group understands the importance of continual learning. Not just learning from experience, but also proactive and intentional research. We strive to keep up to date on market knowledge, attend conferences and seminars, and network with other agents throughout the country. There’s an endless need to keep on top of the latest trends, tactics, and strategies and to keep learning to best serve our clients.
