Call him today to discuss your real estate needs.<\/p>\n<p>When his co-workers heard what he was about to do, they thought he was crazy. His mother Cecilia even pleaded with him repeatedly not to do it because the majority who do ultimately fail within the first three years. Then his boss warned, &#8220;In six months you&#8217;ll be begging me to give you back your job!&#8221; But in spite of it all, nothing could deter Les Twarog. His mind was already made up. So, early in 1988, Les gave up his secure position at Canada Safeway Limited to begin a career in real estate sales\u2014a field with no guarantees. Gone were the six-week paid annual holidays, company pension and benefits, and most importantly, those regular pay cheques.<\/p>\n<p>Then an interesting thing happened. Six months later, Les returned to the Safeway store where he had been employed, not to ask for his old job back, but simply to say hello and let his former boss and colleagues know how things had worked out for him. You can just imagine the looks on their faces when he stepped out of a large, upscale automobile. Les had become very successful in a short period of time and acquired the car to service his real estate clients in complete safety and comfort. But this was only the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Les achieved his initial success working for a small local company called Multiple Realty. This led to him establishing his own real estate firm specializing in condo conversions\u2014taking existing stratified rental buildings owned by a single person and selling them to individual owners. His experience and drive enabled him to sell an average of 250 units annually for several years. Not to be deterred by the 1993 condo market downturn in Vancouver, Les honed his innovative ideas and creative marketing style which propelled him into the 50 top producing realtors in the Lower Mainland\u2014ranking among the top 1% of all realtors nationally. He reached a point where he was completing over 60 real estate transactions per year\u2014nearly 17 times the industry average. It&#8217;s an achievement Les has repeated every year since, despite fluctuating market conditions. He attributes his success to superior market knowledge, keen negotiating skills and the support of an outstanding team of professionals. &#8220;The strength of my team allows me to focus all of my attention on finding the right properties and qualified buyers for my clients. The result is better service and faster turnarounds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; With Les it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re interested in buying or selling a detached home, condominium or an entire building complex, you are guaranteed the same high quality service.
