About Sean

Build relationships. Solve problems. Have fun. It’s a simple philosophy that I have subscribed to since beginning my career as a full-time Realtor almost 20 years ago. Each day I showed up seeking to build new relationships with people I had never met or deepen relationships with people I had known for years. Once I built a relationship it was easier to earn people’s trust in assisting them with one of the biggest moments in their life – buying or selling a home. Almost every real estate transaction revolves around a problem in someone’s life. Those could be “good problems” like getting married, having a new child or starting a new career. It could also be managing through the “bad problems” people face like a death in the family, divorce or job loss. Regardless of the circumstances, I knew that helping someone solve their problem was an honorable and worthwhile task. And doesn’t having fun along the way just help make it more enjoyable for everyone involved? It’s more than great service for me. It’s about creating and delivering a memorable experience. Build relationships. Solve problems. Have fun. The same six words helped guide me in my approach as a branch manager when I helped agents and their customers navigate through their individual transactions. I also led the creation of a culture based sharing and support in the office community of successful agents. After finding a passion for the training and coaching side of the job, I became the Director of Agent Development for our companies in Central Ohio and Greater Cincinnati and was in that role from 2005 until 2016. That platform allowed me to reach a bigger audience and since 2007 I have been a national speaker and event facilitator at real estate events around the country. I was recognized as one of Inman News Most Influential People in Real Estate in 2013 and am proud to have been named one of the Top 20 Most Influential Social Media voices in the real estate industry by the Swanepoel Report for the last three years. Whether it is in person, in front of an audience, or via the social networks, those same 6 words help connect the people to the process and the stories to the success. Build relationships. Solve problems. Have fun. Testimonials Never heard Sean present before?
