This Edmonton Real Estate Team is Always Learning!
Every year we attend an incredible real estate conference in the US. This year the location for the Star Power Conference was beautiful Denver Colorado! Star Power is an organization lead by Howard Brinton, an immensely respected real estate trainer. Howard searches North America for top realtors (the stars), then interviews them and shares their “pearls of wisdom” with other realtors to help them serve their buyers and sellers even better and to grow their businesses. Larry and I were immensely honoured to be interviewed by Howard in September 2008. It was a thrill to be flown to Denver to meet with Howard and now to have the opportunity to share what we have learned with others. At last month’s conference in Denver I had the privilege of speaking on leadership, a topic I am passionate about! Other stars spoke on their areas of interest and expertise, and there was an incredible list of high-calibre guest speakers including Gary Keller, head of Keller Williams Realty and Larry Kendall, one of the top real estate trainers and forward-thinkers in our industry. We gleaned some excellent ideas about effectively using social media such as Facebook to assist our sellers, and how to incorporate video into our blogsite. We also were very affirmed in our overall business philosophy – our hearts are indeed in the right place! It turns out that doing the right thing is being more and more recognized as also being good for business too!

At SCHMIDT we have always placed a huge degree of importance on our client relationships. Putting our clients first is not only the right thing to do, but it feels great! And guess what? It also builds trust and long-term relationships that also help grow our business! What we heard over and over at the conference was that today’s consumer is tired of being “sold” (did anyone ever really want that???) and is actively seeking relationships with professionals they can trust as their advisor. That got a big “thumbs up” from our team as we listened to these respected industry leaders talk about “getting real” and “keeping it personal” and “staying in touch”. That’s always been our goal – to form lasting relationships with our cilents while helping them make the best real estate decisions possible. Sometimes it means staying put and renovating. Sometimes it means renting out the property. Let us help you sort out your options and show you that we mean it when we say you truly come first. Call on us any time you need a trusted real estate advisor!Contributed by Kathy Schmidt, Broker Owner of Schmidt Realty Group
