In this episode, we sat down with Tim Sharpley, a leading real estate broker, to talk candidly about the current market landscape and how rising client expectations are putting pressure on brokers and their teams. Tim shared what it’s really like trying to juggle high volumes of enquiries, endless follow-up conversations, and client care — all while trying to stay focused on growing his business.

We discussed the challenge of maintaining personal, timely communication as his pipeline grows, and the frustration of losing warm leads when responses aren’t fast enough. Tim also shared what’s been helping him adapt, how he’s rethinking customer care as a broker, and the importance of freeing up his team’s time without sacrificing client experience.

He gave us a look at some exciting projects on the horizon — from strategic expansions to the tech investments he’s making to stay ahead of the competition.
