VIRES 017: Darin Germyn interview on the challenges and solutions of a post June 15th world

On The Rise with Braden Wheatcroft

It's almost been 30 days since the new rules were ushered in from the Superintendent of Real Estate and The Council. While many REALTORS® in the province are still waiting to receive their training on how the new rules work, we have had to get up to speed as quickly as possible as we continue to serve our Buyers and Sellers in their real estate transactions. Through this process, there have been many new scenarios that agents are finding themselves in. Some we anticipated, and others we haven't. But in this short amount of time, there have been some new best practices rising to the surface, and that's what we are going to be speaking about this week on The Vancouver Island Real Estate Show. We will be speaking with top 2% Fraser Valley REALTOR® and President-Elect for the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Darin Germyn. Over the past couple weeks, Darin put a survey out to Top Producing agents he knows the province that ran through some prevalent scenarios we find ourselves in as agents that are now a challenge under the new rules, got their ideas what the solutions could be to those challenges. He received some great feedback and Darin, and I will be digging deeper into them in our discussion. Make sure you tune and watch it LIVE on Facebook.

About Darin:

Since 2007, I have been looking for the most progressive and innovative ways to help my clients succeed. The traditional model of real estate sales has been slowly dying in the last decade as we have seen radical changes in our industry and economy. A time when being a real estate professional meant putting a sign in the yard and being the gatekeeper of information is long ago dead, and a new era of Real Estate sales is upon us. You don’t just have to be good; you have to be good to survive in this business. The first step to success is in the way you treat people. The second is simply producing significant results.

My background in Real Estate is one of consistent improvement and dedication. My goal has always been to be the best resource for any real estate consumer in our marketplace. Through regular investment in learning about new marketing techniques, negotiation training, business training, and client experience focus, I am proud to say that I have had the great fortune to help hundreds of clients in my time, while also remaining as one of the top industry performers in the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.

This business has been good to me. From television and radio interviews, being featured in prominent publications such as Business in Vancouver, training my knowledge to rooms of over 1000 excited REALTORS®, and giving back to my profession through volunteerism, I am proud to help my clients as an advocate in their transactions. This business helps support my family, and I am thankful for it.
