REALTOR® Profile
My Story. I trained and trained, and learned sales script after sales script - I made 50 cold calls per day - I focussed on learning How to sell. It’s all about closing- nothing else matters, right? I was told that success is judged on the number of calls made, number of appointments, number of listings won, commissions generated.... I began to feel suffocated.... Yes, this method has proven to work for others, and I have been fortunate enough to taste this so-called success, but it left me feeling hollow and unauthentic. I could no longer continue to do something that was not true to me, to my character, and to what I stand for.I was forced to contemplate what I actually wanted. What did I want to create? What did I want my business to look like? My client relationships? What do I want to be known for? What’s my purpose? So, I challenged myself to build something that will always be compatible with me, with my morals, my ethics. Something that is true to my nature... Something my family can be proud of.So, I set out on a path of self-discovery, I had to find out what brings me happiness, contentment and fulfilment, what is it that makes me feel like I am making a difference? I quickly realised that at my core I am an educator and a protector. Twelve Years working as school teacher has instilled a certain set of values that will always be part of my persona. Protecting, serving and educating others is my purpose. This is where my sense of self-worth is rooted....I have set my sights on a new vision for the future - a professional service where utilising specialist knowledge and skills allows me to truly help and educate clients... With the aim of not only being respected but more importantly, trusted. Each and every client receives this professional service for each and every transaction. The relationship is now on a much higher level.... Its a partnership. A Client to Trusted Advisor relationship, rather than Prospect to Salesperson. I strive to make a difference... To educate and inspire, and to leave others with fulfilment and gratitude. This all happens over and above what I would consider the of course. Of course, I will do everything I can to sell for the highest price, negotiate the most favourable terms, guide you through the process etc. etc.... but for me, this is simply the foundation, the process has to be far more personal.... Far more connected... and far more relationship orientated. I searched intently to find the key ingredient that aligns with my core values and permits me to offer this style of service. Perhaps an expensive coach? A new type of system or software? Surely not more sales scripts… Through self-actualization I found the answer was quite simple, Be yourself. My intention has always been to offer my clients ultra-high service and its important to note that I invest massively, not only my time but my emotions. Perhaps this is the key ingredient - emotional involvement. I have a keen ability to flex, adapt and provide empathy, it is an intuitive psychology. When I work with you as a client there has to be a collaboration, so I can ascertain your vision and help you understand your goals.... Goals you may never have even thought of... Goals that are ultimately going to benefit you and your family.... this instils a vested interest... a duty... an obligation, and resultantly I genuinely want to help you achieve the best results in potentially the biggest transaction of your life. But how does one inspire? Lead? And ultimately make a positive change? Simple, Give! I have completely focussed my outlook on being a Go Giver. When we share good things with the world, more good things happen. This is a basic human decision - And I plan to go all in. I will always strive to add value... to inform... to educate and ultimately get you across the finish line - Happy. This is how I define Success. I want to thank you for reading my story. Stuart.
