Positive Change & The Learning Curve


Keeping up with the evolving world of real estate can be a challenge. Continuing education is a must and the ability to adapt and change is paramount. Gone are the days of carbon copies, newspaper ads and handshake deals. If you want a stress free, smooth transaction, you had better enlist the help of an educated, up-to-date agent!

The housing market in Nova Scotia doesn't necessarily follow the boom/bust cycle like some of the more volatile areas in Canada, but it does have some ups & downs. In order to stay on top of the goings on, it is essential to have a team that is aware of new trends and is constantly upgrading their practices.

It is all too common to maintain an attitude of complacency and argue that 'this is how we have always done things'. I have never shared the idea of leaving well enough alone, but rather made efforts to try to find a better, more efficient and practical way of improving the status quo. Occasionally this causes some waves to be created around me, but that's exactly how the tides eventually change!



You see we have the ability to participate in change in every facet of our day, and can choose to make that change positive or negative. Perspective is everything and dictates how we digest information. The ability to evolve and grow is essential to leadership and being confident enough to make experiences educational is what can be the difference between making it and breaking it. Carrying on with outdated, inflexible practices simply because it worked in the past isn't necessarily beneficial, nor does it promote growth.
Why? Because it's 2015.

In this business I am fortunate enough to learn new things every single day. It can be overwhelming at times, but the more I learn about this business the more I want to find out! The team at Exit Town & Country have been participating in online sessions for the past few weeks geared towards being able to interact more effectively with people and understanding of personalities. This fresh perspective has been fascinating and has given me a new appreciation of the differences in people.

This business is highly people oriented and I am certainly grateful to be surrounded by colleagues & staff that are positive and enjoyable to be around. It's a huge benefit to work daily with this energetic bunch and be motivated to succeed & learn.

I am excited to maintain the upward growth of my business and continue to learn and expand my knowledge in the future! I am much happier climbing and learning, than simply coasting along.
