Look to the Forefront For many people, the word “leadership” connotes numbers. Numbers such as the number of listings and sales. Or high dollar values. At Alain Pinel Realtors, we think there are also other qualities that distinguish a leader.
One is affiliation. Leaders lead because their employees, clients, and industry colleagues repeatedly and successfully do business together. Affiliation is why APR is the most respected purveyor of premier residential real estate in the Bay Area and why we continue to seek exceptional people to join us at the forefront of our industry. Another quality is business acumen. No other firm’s agents match our Realtors’ skill and success rates. Leaders are also responsive—to clients, industry shifts, and new opportunities. We equip our Realtors with leading-edge technical capabilities so that they have an edge on competitors.
If you are looking to expand and enrich your real estate career, look to the forefront. Look to APR.
