Success Story: Tim Hanavan

Nothing in Real Estate runs in a neat, tidy, straight line.  As real estate professionals, we are faced with an unlimited supply of challenges.  We are called upon to come up with ideas and solutions for our clients and sometimes even our friends.  Who helps us find the answers?  Who helps you?  The answer for me for over seven years has been my coach Carlos Caicedo, and he has made all the difference. 

Coach Carlos is a Realtor’s ultimate resource to help us find answers for our business.  Carlos has a unique ability to know what I need and when I need it.  He also has the talent to be the resource I need in those times.  He has been the lighthouse in the storm or the voice of reason in times of high emotion.  Carlos has been an idea generator when I have had nothing.  He has played the role of motivator and cheerleader.  But of all of the roles Carlos plays as my coach, the one role that has been most helpful to me is the role of Sherpa.  Like each of us, I drift off course from time to time.  Carlos is always there to help me get back on track. 

I have been a Realtor for 12 years.  I have worked without a coach and with Carlos.  The difference is night and day.  My average year-over-year increase in business over the 7 years I have worked with Carlos is 16%.  My business prior to working with Carlos was flat or regressing.  Carlos ensures I stay focused on the solution side of every challenge.  He focuses our time on the highest priorities to reach my goals.  It helps that Carlos has worked as a Realtor. He understands what faces me each day, and he guides me with a knowledge that only someone who has bought and sold homes is able to provide.

I am proud of what I have accomplished in the time I have worked with Carlos, and he never forgets to remind me that he is proud of what I have done.  They say you do not care how much someone knows until you know how much they care.  No one cares more about his client’s success than Carlos and there are a few in this world better equipped than Carlos to guide a Realtor to that success.
