This is my first post. My name is Kirby Chan and I want to succeed as a Real Estate Agent in Toronto. I joined Re/Max Condos Plus in Downtown Toronto. A lot of people was concerned that by joining this brokerage I would be alienating homes. But I tell them, it’s not the brokerage people are interested in, it’s ME. I want to turn Kirby in to a brand, KIRBY. When people see KIRBY in gold letters, I want people to see prestige, honour and excellence.
I’m a graduate of art design. Worked in that field for 3 years and when that couldn’t pay the bills, I went back to school for Real Estate. I became a Real Estate Appraiser for 6 years and got interested in the sales side of the business. Mid 2008 I started the OREA real estate course. Compared to UBC’s appraisal course, it was like primary school. If there are any students taking Phase 1,2,3 feel free to ask me any questions.
When I shopped around for a brokerage, I based it on my goals. I went for the best and biggest brokerage, Re/Max. However, it seems that 9/10 Re/Max brokerages didn’t want to give newcomers a chance. They had really uncompetitive commission splits compared to the other big 5 brokerages. I would pay for the Re/Max name but I wasn’t willing to pay that much. In the end the 1/10 Re/Max brokerage that was fair was Re/Max Condos Plus. So even though I didn’t want to solely do Condos, I joined them.
I’m designing my business cards, website and advertisements now.
Right now www.kirbychan.com is the basic site from the brokerage.
So my first line is, I want to succeed. My definition of success would be 50 happy clients in 2009. Did you ever watch Jerry Maguire? I want to be the JM of Real Estate Agents. “Show me the money!”
Thank-you for stopping by.
