Episode 79: Matt and Taylor are re-joined by Dean Desrosiers. Dean is an Owner/Partner, Broker, and Coach at Century 21 Assurance Realty Ltd. from Kelowna, BC, which has been ranked one of the top 5 Century 21 franchises in all of Canada since 2019. Dean entered real estate in 2008 and since joining Century21, he has achieved Centurion® status each year. In 2018, Dean became a certified real estate coach and was elected to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) of directors. He coaches licensed agents and conducts training seminars regularly for Realtors and real estate investors, helping agents achieve their goals and live a great life.
Dean is here to discuss:
→ The expansion of Century 21 Assurance Realty, their local office model, and how having a known brand behind you can help an Agent.
→ What absorption rates are and where they're trending, timing the market, the disconnect between government and what buyers want, and what needs to change in Kelowna's infrastructure.
→ Why you should think twice about building your own home, how much value a pool adds, the worst property for a first time home buyer, and where the market opportunities are right now.
