Market Insights From Canadas Top Agents

What Makes Top Realtors Tick? Insights from My Agent Brief Project

I’m in the middle of an exciting project, reaching out to the highest-rated agents across Canada’s 100 largest cities. So far, I’ve spoken to 60 incredible agents (and counting!) for my 100 Agent Brief – a monthly market report where each agent shares insights from their city.

I have to say… I’m REALLY enjoying these conversations. I’ve learned so much, and here’s what many of these top-rated agents (based on Rate-My-Agent.com) have in common:

  1. Thoughtful and genuinely nice people
  2. A "sign me up" mentality – no hesitation!
  3. Busy (who isn’t?) but always make time to chat
  4. Straightforward – they get right to the point
  5. Some are feeling the pressure from fast-paced tech changes (AI bots, anyone?)
  6. Overall – super positive! Honestly, earlier in my career, I would not have enjoyed this kind of outreach. I probably would’ve been a bit intimidated! But now, the people aspect has become my favorite part of this journey.
A huge shoutout to some agents who’ve made this experience amazing so far: [✔️ Marc Posselt ✔️, Patrick Fields, Laurie Appleton, Brandon Gee-Moore, Mitchell Bussieres - RE/MAX of Nanaimo, Tara Adamyk, Bryan Pereverseff, Meaghan McKillop, Sivage Sivagumaran - Toronto Real Estate Agent - Broker, Tracey Manton, Michelle Makos, Dana Klock]. I appreciate your time, professionalism, and positivity.

I’m curious: - If you're in real estate, would you expect these traits from top agents? - Non-realtors: What are the common qualities of top performers in your industry? - Is anyone else seeing changes in tech that are hard to keep up with? What’s been your experience?

I would love to hear your thoughts. ----------------------------------------------------- Follow: The A-Team, RE/MAX First Thoughtful | Loyal | Effective
