I’m a big fan of Saskatchewan Music. When we began this adventure as Rockstar Homes, we knew that local music would play a big role in what we do. When we began filming music videos to promote properties, we discovered the perfect venue to spotlight Saskatchewan music. (Our videos can be seen here) In the [...]
In the third post of our Rethink blog series, we tackle one of the simplest, but most important ideas behind the Real Estate Revolution and the concepts we call It’s About You, Not Me. Sometimes as REALTORS®, we miss the mark in saying “Thank You”…but not like you think. It’s not that we never say [...]
In real estate, there are tons of little things that we do simply because it’s the way we’ve always done it. As part of our Rethink blog series, we are second guessing these little things and suggesting better ways to move forward. In this post, we rethink Possession Days. Possession day. That fairytale day where things magically go [...]

We all remember Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. They couldn’t be more different. In fact, they were originally created to demonstrate to kids how people so different can still be friends. Bert is the more serious of the two. He’s organized and professional. You may even remember that he served as the President of [...]
Car salesmen should be more like REALTORS®. That’s right. I said it. I know what you’re thinking. As a REALTOR®, the last thing I should be comparing myself to is a car salesman. History and hollywood have painted us with the same sleazy brush. The truth is, I spend the majority of my day finding ways [...]
Louis CK is one of those comedians who “looks familiar”. You’re more likely to know him from Parks and Recreation, than his stand up comedy where he has quietly built a huge fan base. However, while I’ve become a fan of the jokes, it’s the business side of Louis CK that got me hooked. Like [...]
While showing homes to some new rockstar clients last week, it occured to me that I have developed a routine while showing a home. There are several things I point out to my clients and for a lot of first time home buyers, they appreciate the extra information. I figured maybe the rest of you [...]
I’ve always been a fan of finding business lessons in the most unusual and unexpected places. A 17 year old pop-sensation fits that category. Justin Bieber’s success has been remarkable, reaching stardom in a short period of time. Blame it on the power of a million screaming girls if you like, but there were some [...]
A few of my favourite stories about working hard and believing in yourself. If you’re familiar with Jay Leno’s show, you’ll know about one of his most popular skits called Jaywalking. This is where Jay walks the streets of Los Angeles and finds everyday people to ask them some trivia. The whole point of the [...]

Never heard of us? That happens. We grow our business mainly by word of mouth, working hard to impress our clients so they refer us on to family and friends. In 2010, we were awarded the Royal LePage Director’s Platinum Award signifying exemplary sales accomplishments (whatever that means) and 82% of the clients we helped that year were referred to us from past clients, family and friends. It’s a more enjoyable way to build a client base as our relationships are based first on the relationship, second on business.
