Have a Question? Ask Allan

Hey dad, how did you get started in real estate? Well, it's an interesting story and I think you'll appreciate this.I well I wanted to work in real estate right out of high school but my dad says no, you've got to go to university first and I said okay fine You said the same thing to me yeah yeah and So I went to university for one year and then ended up getting a corporate job where I was kind of moving up the ladder and I figured well I'll be better off staying in this corporate environment and moving up as opposed to continuing with university. Unfortunately I got kind of in that trap of being in that company then I wanted to get into real estate but I couldn't afford it that was the problem because at that time and still today you have to have a a good amount of money saved up to invest in yourself, in your business, in your clients to really be successful and so that was kind of where it was just kind of left and until one day my mom called me and just to go for lunch and we got talking and she said well if you want to get into real estate I'll help you out and I said well amazing and that was literally like probably like a little over 25 years ago now. What did she do to help you out. Two things and this is going back to I guess what we do now for agents coming in is provide them with business right away. So, a person just starting out typically you know how you see on day 1 you're going to start calling people you know and saying hey you know can I buy or sell your house you know anybody wants to buy or sell a house but if you're working in a team day one you can kinda get somebody to work with and be mentored by somebody so and that's what happened with working with my mom and is that you know kind of on day one like day one I remember picking up my lockbox key to go show houses and I had a client who was able to sell a house in my first week which also helps with kind of getting rolling and being successful having those early successes and not being stressed by not making any money yeah so that that was how I started real estate. I love that and now you're carrying on your mom's legacy Judy Lindsay Team. That's right yeah with my daughter here working with me. Yes, yes Maybe one day I'll carry it on for you. www.JudyLindsay.com 204.925.2900
