Each morning, I wake up and complete a gratitude journal. For 30 consecutive days, I write down 3 things that I’m grateful for without repeating a single entry. By the 30th day, I’m writing down that I’m thankful for slippers, air conditioning and a working coffee maker. The point of the exercise is to remind myself that I have much to be grateful for and in this next interview, I am reminded even more that I have lived a good life. In the 72nd episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down w...

Sometimes there is an idea that is so good, that it stops me in my tracks. On the 71st episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I interviewed an inspiring woman with such an idea. Gia Lucchetta has been practicing real estate in her beautiful city of Guelph, Ontario for over 30 years. A Western University Alumni, Gia went right from post-secondary education into real estate at the suggestion of her father. “My mother was mortified,” Gia told me, but to satisfy her father, she met with a broker in G...

On the 67th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, my next guest is just a few years into her real estate career and is already thriving with her own small team in the Whistler, British Columbia area.

Meg McLean, an RRI Coaching Member and team lead of the Meg McLean Real Estate Team, started her real estate career in administration. “I started off as an administrator because I really wa...

This next episode of The Richard Robbins Show is particularly special to me because I got to sit down with my younger brother. Vance Robbins, owner of Anden Kitchen & Bath Centre in Peterborough, Ontario, has built a tremendous business that thrives on word of mouth (referrals). He started door-knocking in his Peterborough neighborhood in 1991 and today his company is doing well over 200 kitchen and bath jobs a year. Not only is this podcast a story of determination and hard work but it is als...

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show has built an incredibly successful real estate brokerage within the Greater Toronto Area, boasting a team of over 1400 real estate professionals, and turning his business into a full-service brokerage for his agents. Chris Slightham, broker/owner of Royal LePage Signature, took over the family business in the late 90’s and grew the brokerage of 95 agents into one of the GTA’s most powerful and desirable real estate businesses. “Our realtors are our cli...

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show considers his volunteer work within the community just as important as his thriving real estate business; one cannot succeed without the other. A top producing Team Leader and sought-after RRI Business Coach, Tony Joe has been involved with RRI in some capacity since 2002. Based in the beautiful city of Victoria in British Columbia, Tony, along with his Buyer Agent, reached 157 transactions in 2021. With such a prosperous business, you would think that...

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show immigrated to Canada when he was 17 years old, was a licensed real estate professional by age 22 and, without a budget or a database to rely on, Ranjit still did 21 transactions in his first year, part-time! Working primarily in the Brampton area in Ontario, Ranjit may only be 37 years old, but his business practices go back further by decades. “I love pen and paper because whenever you write it down, it will not disappear until you cross it out.” Ranj...

On this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with a friend who, since day one of his real estate career, has focused much of his time, effort and budget on online marketing and lead generation. Justin Havre, the number one RE/MAX agent in closed transactions from 2015 to 2020, has been unrelenting in his pursuit of digital dominance. His focus on online lead generation and search engine optimization (SEO) has helped him create a team of 70 agents and 20 support staff which did 1983 s...
