Meet Kelley Skar!: A very dear friend; an amazing Realtor® with CIR in my home town of Calgary; has recently also taken on a new role as CMO at Repree (an online document solution); a dedicated family man; husband to his amazing wife Sabrina and father to twins and he joins us from his parents home while on vacation :)

Kelley is ALWAYS innovating, iterating and staying ahead of the curve! I've watched Kelley build and design his business over the years incorporating tech, embracing the changes, and building a powerful team.  We share many of the same beliefs of the value of an agent and Kelley was generous enough to share how he's structuring his business with a Team Charter (LOVE that!); how he's a BIG BELIEVER in coaching; how the Team model has a role to play in "raising the bar" in Real Estate and what's next for he and his team.

"I'm there to help my agents move forward, not just with the next deal but with the next phase of their career." ~ @kelleyskar Tweetable :)

Teri:Welcome Kelley Skar. This is Conversations that Matter. The reason we’re hosting Conversations that Matter is because we want to dig a little deeper into people who are living on purpose, share some of our experiences, some of our challenges, and get to know the person a little bit better. This is conversations in life and in business. I want to welcome Kelley. Thank you so much for being here. Kelley Skar is a very dear friend of mine. We’ve known each other four years. I think the way we met is when you came down – we had been following each other online for quite a while, and you came down to hear me speak.

I think it was literally my very first time on stage in Bellevue  down in Washington. There’s this crazy kid from Calgary that followed me down to hear me speak in Seattle at Agent Reboot, What a Hoot. Welcome so much. Big time realtor in Calgary, father of beautiful twin children; that’s a big part of who you are. Married to a lovely lady who’s about to deliver her master’s thesis tomorrow. Go Sabrina, good luck! Welcome, Kelley. Thank you so much for being here. 

Kelley:You bet. Thanks for having me. 

Teri:I think you’re visiting your parents’ house.

Kelley:That’s right. We’re down in Creston, BC right now. The kids and I are here visiting my folks. Sabrina, as you mentioned in the intro, is actually in Spokane. She delivers her master’s thesis tomorrow, so hopefully she nails that. Not hopefully; I know that she will nail it and we will be done with this portion of her journey. She will begin the next journey come September. Another two years and we’re done.

Teri:Which is amazing, and part of the reason I invited you to join for Conversation that Matters is because I watch the two of you who are these power parents, who are so involved in your kids’ lives while you’re doing all of these amazing things in business. Sabrina, your wife has been pursuing a higher education. It seems like it’s been going on for quite a while.

Kelley:Two years.

Teri:Two years. Then, you have – I’ve watched you take your career –  we were at the same place about six or seven years ago, and you just completely built it up. Now, why don’t you share where you are in terms of your business right now?

Kelley:As far as business is concerned, I’ve got a small team of agents here in Calgary. We have Paula Carr, Jessica Fox, Agnes Toiles, Rico Collinear has just joined us. There’s five of us altogether. We have our client care coordinator as well as our administrator who looks after all of our paperwork, fills out our trade record sheets for us, and makes sure that all of our paperwork is complete and sent in. Total number of people are seven of us. 

At this point right now,
