"I have completed a diploma in Police Foundation (Seneca College) and a Bachelors degree of Disaster and Emergency Management [BDEM] (York University). During my studies I was a participant in Summer Company, a young entrepreneurial program in which I built my first successful company. The program and the company has taught me that growing organically means networking and more importantly sales. After creating a solid foundation in sales through my business I have decided to devote my career to sales and strategic partnerships. I believe I have the right attitude, personality and consistent performance to be an irreplaceable asset to any organization. I have become outstanding in sales, communication, organization and I have a tremendous ability to strategically place myself in a leadership role in all environments."

In this chat, I speak with Jake Ringwald about the impact of Covid-19 on one of Canada's most treasured asset classes: multifamily housing. We discuss the abrupt pause to price growth that could occur, despite the stimulus and interest-rate cuts. We weigh in on the spectrum of variables that impact the valuation of real estate, comparing multifamily with other asset vulnerabilities that have appeared as a result of coronavirus.

"We need to learn how to trust our own instincts, and start doing what  we know works best for us"  

Bahador Khani is a friend I met on a committee at Urban Land Institute  many years ago. He's been a successful entrepreneur and real estate  investor, and is now spending his time helping people maximize their  potential through his new venture - Power Hour Talks.  (powerhourtalks.com) You can find Bahador on all social media @powerhourtalks. 

Mack and I met in University while doing our B.Comms together at Guelph. Mack now works in the commercial lending space, and is one of the most active responders to my content about real estate - so I've been meaning to speak with him for a while. 

I'm always excited to hear what Mack has to say, so I wasn't really surprised by the impressive insight he provided about changes in the lending space. I hope you enjoy it and find it valuable as well. 

Brett and I met at the beginning of his career through a mutual friend. It's been amazing to watch him grow from an ambitious new agent with a creative marketing approach. He is now a top-producing agent with a focus on driving-home value for his existing clients. 

I hope you enjoy the podcast, which is a sort of refreshing casual banter in such a serious time. Brett and I talk about the moral and ethical implications of showing properties during Covid-19, something that Slavens & Associates has been celebrated for taking seriously. We also talk about our projections, representing our clients properly, and what else we're doing to keep busy and successful during this time. 

I first met Bhador (Bobby) Khani about 10 years ago on a committee for The Urban Land Institute (ULI). 

Covid-eo Chats: a concept we're introducing a spatial-distancing friendly podcast for the duration of the Covid19 crisis. 

Today I spoke with Jedd Smith, a colleague from Sudbury, Ontario. Jedd is an FEI level course designer, which makes him a really well connected person in the equine space. 

Jedd provides a lot of insight on the equine world, capital flows within that type of clientele, as well as his first-hand knowledge of the Northern Ontario real estate markets, which have been heating up from spillover in capital flows in the GTA. We also spoke about what we're doing in the time of covid-19, and how things have changed within the real estate market for us as a result of coronavirus.
