Langley City Mayor Says Healthy Debate is Good!

Few municipalities are as fortunate to have such a forward minded, honest, authentic and driven leader as we in Langley City.  Mayor Peter Fassbender has been involved with City Council since 2002 and Mayor of Langley since November, 2005.  He holds a very strong vision for the future of Langley and is passionate and committed to making our city flourish and grow.



Mayor Fassbender welcomes healthy debate in any area. He has no problem with different points of view, but he operates on fact and his good judgment.  We love his 'open door' policy and as he says - he answers his own phone!  If you have any questions, you won't find a more approachable or genuinely interested listener.  Reach Mayor Fassbender by visiting his website : City of Langley or calling his direct line: (604) 514-2801.

With an election approaching next fall - what issues would you like to see on the table?  We'd love to hear your comments!

Awesome Experience At Agent Reboot

This past week I was given the great honor of being asked to speak at Inmann News' Agent Reboot Conference in Seattle by the one and only Nicole Nicolay. It was such a thrill to finally meet Nicole in person  (and you'll see me gush in this video interview!)



I was nervous as hell but super excited to be presenting with the incomparable Michael McClure founder of Professional One brokerage out of Detroit named #1 brokerage of the future!  They really get it and Michael is a fabulous speaker! 

We were so well matched with identical philosophies and shared gurus that we try to emmulate and who inspire us!  Were were excited to discover that we're both huge fans of Simon Sinek whom we've both blogged about before and who my partner in RedBarn Group Ken Hunter and I founded our entire concept around.

My new best friend Nicole! @nik_nik

Sharing thoughts about Social Media for Real Estate

Me, Nicole Nicolay, Michael McClure and Tom Everitt

One of the main themes of the day was about building relationships and taking the 'online - offline'. 

I cannot emphasize enough how meaningful the connections have become once we have met in person.  Michael said: "It's like meeting old friends
for the 1st time".  So true!

I also had the fabulous good fortune to meet Dale Chumbley who is an amazing Realtor from the other Vancouver - in Washington!  He's doing some amazing creative things down there with his 365 things to do in Vancouver WA.  We took some great ideas away from Dale's presentation!

Chris Smith - Founder of Tech Savvy Agent was another killer speaker who shared all kinds of fabulous tech tools for the savvy Realtor!  Totally super guy and was thrilled to meet!

I actually referenced in my presentation and was REALLY excited to meet Darin Persinger founder of Productivity Junkies who is a Realtor coach who offers amazing content and tips and tools on a daily basis!  He has an amazing grasp on the future of Real Estate!

Dan Keller is a morgage broker who is out of this world!  I LOVE what he's doing!  He sooooo gets it!

The long and short of it is I had the time of my life!  If I never make another dime in this industry I have been so fortunate to meet and learn from some of the most amazing people!  Thanks all!
