We focus a lot on our relationships with our clients, and with good reason - but how much are we focusing on our relationships with other realtors?
Often the biggest difference between a good deal and bad deal (and in some cases, whether a deal gets done at all), is the strength of the relationship between the real estate professionals on each side of the transaction. Your ability to connect, communicate, empathize and speak positively of those with whom you are negotiating will vastly improve so many facets of your job.
In this episode, we talk about some of the key elements and reasons for bringing a positive and optimistic attitude to the talks with those who are typically looked at as our adversaries.

In this special episode of Level Up, we introduce a new feature - the "Level Up Book Club", where we dive into the 'what you need to know' from some of the greatest minds in personal growth, real estate, and straight up knowledge.
This week, Katie gives us a close look at "The Art of Exceptional Living" by the late icon Jim Rohn. We drop a whole bunch of great advice taken from his years of talks, and equate them to making your own lives exceptional. Everything from how we look at ourselves, to how we interact with others - even the 'two quarter principle' (listen and you'll know).
If you want a laundry list of ways you can live more exceptionally, this is the episode for you.

Building upon our conversation with Michelle Risi from last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Victoria Theriault for the second part of our DISC personality assessments. Victoria is a certified DISC, EQ and GIA analyst and the Founder/Owner of DISCover What Works. She is also a certified team facilitator, which makes her the most qualified and experienced person to chat with when it comes to how our DISC personality profiles impact our ability to work within a real estate team environment. Victoria delves into how certain personality traits are important for certain roles within your business and how it's important to become more aware of the personalities of those around you in order to effectively and successfully work together. Whether you are building a team or working to build strong relationships with your clients, being knowledgeable about DISC is incredibly powerful.

It's about time we had some guests back on the podcast - and boy did we get a couple of great ones!
Our friends Sandra Kirkland and James Milonas (better known as 'James In The City') joined us this week to talk about what is going on in real estate in this unique environment.
What has changed and what is the same as it ever was? Everything from market trends to realtor behaviour, to marketing ideas in a post-COVID world - we unpacked it all (spoiler alert, not everyone is on the same page...and that's a good thing).

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!
After an unprecedented year in all of our personal and professional lives, we're steamrolling right into 2021 with a purpose.
Like last year, rather than resolutions, we talk about choosing one word for the year ahead that will shape our approach. This exercise has proven very important to keep your head straight as you navigate all the uncertainty and decisions that life throws your way. Our words in 2020 were 'focus' and 'deliberate', so we'll break down how those went for us, and we'll unveil our new words for 2021.
Let us know what word will shape your year, and join us for a brand new year of Level Up, we've got a lot in store!

Not a normal year, that 2020...but in a lot of ways, it was the eye opener we needed.
It's fair to say the year created challenges for nearly everyone on the planet, but it also created opportunities, and the chance to dig deep into what we are all going to do with ourselves, how we deal with adversity, and what is really important to us.
No major life lessons in this episode, other than a reflection on the takeaways from our year of learning, and a big (and happy) welcome to the awesome year to come.
Happy New Year everyone, stay safe, and keep listening....big things ahead in 2021!
