This is Darryl Davis, and welcome to another Power Agent interview. We have an incredibly awesome human being on this call by the name of William Tarantelo. Am I saying that right, William? William: Tarantola. Darryl: Tarantola. There you go. I’m half-Italian and half-Irish. That was the Irish side of me, not being able to say the Italian name. All right. (Laughing) William: You’re close, Darryl. You’re close. Darryl: Now William, you’re with Coach Realtors. So tell everybody… a great company on Long Island. But tell people your contact information, so if they want to get in touch with you; send referrals your way. William: Sure. I’m William Tarantola with Coach Realtors. I’ll give you my cell phone. It’s 516-236-6178. I can also be reached on my e-mail at [email protected]. Or you can just go to my Web site, williamtarantola.com, and you’ll be able to contact me in all three ways. Darryl: Awesome. Very good. Now William, so how long have you been in real estate now? William: I’ve been in real estate, Darryl, about, now, I would say, 22 years. Darryl: Wow. That’s a long time. And real briefly, because you have an interesting background… I mean gosh, we can probably talk for 30 minutes just on that. But real briefly, what did you do before real estate? Why did you get into real estate? William: Well, I had a background of beauty. I owned several salons here in Long Island. And I also had one in the Trump Tower in New York City in the 90s. I’m a very athletic- oriented guy. Fitness and nutrition is my thing. I broke my leg several times in downhill skiing, and there was no way I could do the beauty thing any longer. So I developed an interest in real estate, and I started in the Hamptons, unlicensed, servicing new homes in a community in Westhampton Beach. That took me into a subdivision development community that I serviced in the Hamptons which was Snug Harbor (inaudible at 0:02:20) by Ben Krupinski who built Snug Harbor and the (inaudible at 0:02:30), okay. 5 interview with William Tarantola (continued) .... And I got my license and had the passion for real estate. Darryl: Wow. So if I’m picking this up correctly, it sounds like you might have kind of succeeded pretty early on in your career. Am I hearing that right, or…? William: I did. You know, I have a family that was into real estate as well. My dad and my brothers were all builders and subdivision developers. And at that point in my life, I had a glittery, glamorous beauty lifestyle, and I didn’t want any part of it. But later in life, when it was time to get serious, real estate became my passion. Darryl: Gotcha. So now that you’ve got 20 years under your belt, what are you passionate about with this business? What do you like about it? William: I’m a people person, Darryl. I like to be with people. And I think the success in my real estate is the… with my beauty background, I touch people for a living. And I get very motivated by people to share ideas and to share knowledge and to be a hands-on type of guy. Personal service is what I’m all about. Darryl: Mmm. And that’s the part where people understand because, you know, this is not a sales business as much as it is a people business. You know, to the level where you enjoy interacting and communicating with people and helping people, you know, I think has a lot to do to an agent’s success and you illustrate that. So very great. Now I guess we can break the business up into two sessions. One is working with buyers and then working with sellers. On the buyer’s side of things, how do you get your buyers; how do you work with them? Is there anything that stands out for you that might separate you from another agent when it comes to working with a buyer? William: Well, at this point in my career, I’m pretty much a referral agent, so I get a lot of referrals. But when I started in real estate, I was an open-house junkie. I would do as many open houses as I possibly could for any agent possible. And that’s where I really started working my sphere of influence of buyers and even listings that came later on. But I felt that to be out there and to be in situations where people were coming into public places, which was open houses, that’s pretty much where I got a lot of my beginnings by doing that. I was everywhere. I would do open houses on Saturday, on Sunday, on Wednesday, on Thursday. I would go to every single broker open house that I possibly could to get to know, in those days, the seasoned brokers and try to learn as much as I could. And today, many years later – I’m with Coach Realtors almost 17 years now – I still get people that came to me, to my open houses, 10, 12, 15 years back. It’s amazing how people never forget you. 6 Darryl: Mmm. Wow, that’s great advice, especially for an agent just starting out that the open house is really such a great tool to get to meet other agents when it comes to the broker’s open house, the public’s open house, you know, to connect with the community and buyers in that area, sellers that are… nosy neighbors that want to come in. So that’s really great advice. Is there anything that –? William: You also asked me, Darryl, you know, what makes me stand out from the rest? As we spoke earlier in our conversation, I’m a personal service, hands-on type of guy. I do not hide behind e-mails. I do not hide behind texts.
