🎙️Episode 38: Secrets to Success in Real Estate: Training, Coaching, Mentorship with Adam Lloyd With Special Guest: Adam Lloyd About Our Guest: Adam was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In 1989, he moved to British Columbia and lived in various areas of the Lower Mainland including Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, White Rock and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. In 1992, he returned to the Tri-Cities and gained 10 years of sales and management experience working for Futureshop. His Real Estate career began in 2003 and his business background in sales and business management make him a proficient negotiator in the Real Estate transaction. During his tenure at his former brokerage RE/MAX®, Adam has consistently placed in the top 5 category for individual and team sales performance. Adam is also a member of the MLS Medallion Club, which recognizes the sales achievements of the Top REALTORS® of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. On February 2017, Adam realized his dream of owning his own Real Estate brokerage called STONEHAUS Realty in Coquitlam BC. Adam specializes in residential homes in New Westminster, East Burnaby and Coquitlam areas. #Returnonlife #ROL In the latest episode of the Return On Life Podcast, host Randy Dyck engages in an insightful conversation with Adam Lloyd, the dynamic owner of Stonehaus Realty. Adam shares his compelling journey in sales, which began at Future Shop, a place where he was not only taught the art of sales but was also recommended books to further his knowledge. Over a decade at Future Shop saw Adam receive numerous awards and reach a point where he craved more from his career. Coinciding with changes in real estate regulations, Adam seized the opportunity to maintain his position at Future Shop while embarking on a real estate career, marking the start of an ambitious new chapter. Adam and Randy delve deeply into the significance of training, coaching, and mentorship within the real estate sector. They discuss how, although many brokerages offer training, the primary goal is often to minimize risk rather than enhance sales skills. At Stonehaus Realty, the approach is markedly different. Adam emphasizes the importance of equipping agents for success, detailing a comprehensive 90-day training plan for new agents, alongside the provision of top-notch coaches and mentors.

In his 3rd year he built one of the top producing teams in western Canada which still runs today. Ben is a true student of life. From living in the streets as a kid to spending 365 days in a rehab before he was 18 years old. He faced obstacle after obstacle in his life, making him truly overcome. He found ways to overcome in life when death, jail and depression were knocking at his door. Ben is not your typical real estate coach; he is an odd mix of marketing genius, human transformation coach and CEO.  His absolute top priorities are to be an amazing father, a truly connected husband and to be a catalyst for human transformation. When Ben coaches agents, it’s NOT to help agents hit #1 overall but to create a life paid for by a thriving real estate business. He believes that high-level success is not only hidden in the newest strategy but also in the growth of the person running the strategy. Over the years, Ben has helped realtors create explosive growth in their business and lives. Many of his clients doubled their income while increasing their confidence, self-awareness while enjoying a healthy balanced family life. Ben is an expert in helping real estate agents go from worker to real estate business owner. He is a master in launching and re-launch while eliminating the dreaded feast and famine cycle. Ben teaches simple business systems focused on world-class client experience rather than just traditional branding or goal setting. #Returnonlife #ROL In the latest episode of the Return On Life Podcast, host Randy Dyck engages in a compelling conversation with the dynamic Ben Oosterveld. Ben's journey from selling office furniture to navigating the tumultuous real estate market offers invaluable insights into resilience, entrepreneurship, and the importance of relationship-building in business. Ben's career trajectory took a drastic turn when, after achieving significant success in sales, he made the bold decision to transition into real estate investment. However, the crash hit hard, leaving him managing a portfolio of 61 properties amidst financial uncertainty. It was during this challenging period that Ben experienced a transformative vision, guiding him to confront adversity head-on and redefine his approach to business. Transitioning into coaching and eventually becoming a real estate agent, Ben recognized a crucial gap in the industry—while many focused solely on acquiring clients, few prioritized nurturing relationships beyond the sale. His meteoric rise in real estate sales, earning him the title of rookie of the year with over 65 homes sold in his first year, underscores the power of implementing systems and strategies centered on long-term client engagement. Ben challenges listeners to envision a scenario where relationships with clients don't end at the closing table. He emphasizes the need for robust systems that prioritize ongoing connection and value delivery, ensuring clients feel genuinely cared for beyond the transactional phase. By shifting focus towards building relationships and fostering referrals, Ben asserts that sustainable business growth and personal fulfillment are achievable.

Toni is a top-producing realtor in Vancouver.  #ROL #Returnonlife In the latest episode of the Return On Life Podcast hosted by Randy Dyck, listeners are treated to an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with the incredible Toni Sing. In this episode, Toni shares her personal journey and insights, touching on various aspects of her life, from career choices to faith, motherhood, and personal growth. Toni's story begins in a clinical psychology research lab, where she was completing her hours and managing part of the lab. However, it became clear to her that her true passion lay in the world of business, not psychology. This realization prompted her to take a bold step and pursue her real estate license.  The episode takes a dramatic turn as Toni recounts a dark period in her life. In 2015, she was relentlessly working in the real estate industry, even scheduling listing appointments and door-knocking right up to the day she gave birth to her son. Her labor took a difficult turn, resulting in a C-section and an infection that took a toll on her health. For the first two years after her son's birth, she juggled sleepless nights with client meetings, feeling torn between her work and motherhood. This unsustainable lifestyle took a severe toll on Toni's health. Her body began to show signs of exhaustion, with her hair falling out and her skin turning grey. It reached a point where she needed intensive IV therapy six days a week, rendering her unable to care for her son at times. A desperate moment came when, during a drive, she uttered the words, "Can you please help me?" – a plea to an unknown entity, as she had grown up as an atheist. Soon after, Toni started prioritizing her health and learned to say no to certain clients. Toni's journey of recovery lasted nearly a year, with one relapse. Through this experience, she gained a profound understanding of the importance of listening to her body and recognizing signs of distress. She now ensures that her actions are always in alignment with her well-being. This episode is a poignant and inspiring tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of prioritizing one's well-being in the face of societal pressures. Her journey serves as a powerful reminder to listen to our bodies and stay true to our paths, even in the face of adversity.
