Then an interesting thing happened. Six months later to-the-day, Les returned to the Safeway store where he had been previously employed, not to ask for his old job back, but simply to say hello and let his former colleagues and boss know how things had worked out for him. Well... You can just imagine the looks on some of their faces when he stepped out of a large, upscale automobile. Les had become so successful in such a short period of time, that he had been able to acquire it in order to service his real estate clients in complete safety and comfort! But this was only the beginning. In 1989, Les became an official member of the prestigious Medallion Club, a distinction reserved only for the top 10% realtors® of the Vancouver Real Estate Board. Two years later, his creative marketing system and shrewd business decisions made him one of the 50 top producing realtors® in the entire Lower Mainland and catapulted him to the Medallion "President's Club" or the Top 1% of all realtors®. Incredibly, Les had reached a point where he was completing over 100 transactions a year--almost seventeen times more than the industry's average! It's a feat he's never failed to accomplish ever since, despite fluctuating market conditions, which can only mean two things in the end: to get consistent results like that, you have to be innovative and extremely efficient.

"One big reason for my success in real estate sales is delegation," says Les. "By having my own personal support staff to handle matters like office administration, I can focus all of my attention on locating the right kind of properties and finding qualified buyers for my vendors. The result is better service and faster turnarounds." Moreover he adds, "This attracts a lot of new business, giving me a large budget for marketing and advertising."
