| The #1 Mindset Shift Every Realtor Needs to Make | 19 févr. 2026 | 00:14:41 | |
Book an RRI Info Call https://calendly.com/rri-storm/assessment?month=2026-02 Are you a realtor who feels like the business owns you instead of the other way around? After 40 years in the industry, I know it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I share the concept of Future Focus, the mindset principle I teach at Richard Robbins International that has helped thousands of real estate professionals transform their results and their lives. Through two personal stories (flying a fighter jet in South Africa and racing a NASCAR), I break down why the most successful people share one trait: they focus on where they want to go, not where they've been. If you're ready to stop repeating the past and start building the future you actually want, this one's for you.

Today, at 68 years young, he is still the Broker of Record of both Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty and Performance Realty and plays in a band that still tours North America (in his spare time). Mark Rashotte, a 40-year veteran in the real estate industry, lives his day-to-day life with the energy of a person 30 years younger. Last year he purchased Royal LePage Performance Realty in Ottawa, Ontario, and is now responsible for 700 agents under his leadership. Despite his success in the real estate industry, there is another passion that has consumed his mind and heart - music. In the 1970s, Mark and his band played 250 shows a year as a pop group, playing across Canada and the United States. Their group named 'Photograph' was signed to Capitol Records and released an album in 1981. When the band dissolved in 1984, Mark explains that his transition from music to real estate was more seamless than you might expect. "You are an independent contractor," Mark tells me.

Vered is a mindset coach with a deep passion for helping individuals release the mental and emotional obstacles that prevent them from achieving their goals and successfully adapting to change in their life. "Oftentimes, change fails because of the human resistance to change," Vered tells me. She continues to say, "It's not because there's not enough time or money or the idea isn't great. People actually don't resist change; people resist the transition." In this podcast, Vered explains why the transitionary moments during a period of change in your life are important to focus on. We talk about why negative emotions are powerful opportunities to learn about yourself and we discuss how your mindset can be trained by playing a quick, fun game.

When I asked Bill about his success, he simply told me, "I do everything I can to keep people away from me." He explains that, "I mean that in a good way, I keep people serviced well enough that they never have to ask me a question." Bill's philosophy of Serve Don't Sell has helped him maintain a loyal clientele and has seen his business flourish. However, it wasn't always like this. As Bill puts it, "I used to be a goal chaser." He did more and more, never hopping off the real estate treadmill, to the point that he was burnt out and wanted to quit the industry altogether. That was until he switched his thinking and started operating his business differently; not chasing the money but instead, serving his database and his community. In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Bill and I talk about the importance of mindset and how changing his perspective changed his entire life. Bill shares his strategies for effective marketing, offers insight on what the top 3 things agents get wrong and how to fix it and lets us know why committing to a schedule is the best thing you could ever do. | |||

In this special episode of the podcast, Phil and I are discussing today's real estate market. We talk about what to expect come 2024 and theorize a few possibilities for the Canadian real estate market.

Mark Arnstein, a 27-year veteran as a real estate agent, began his career in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia. 8 years later, after growing a substantial business and clientele, he packed up and moved to Toronto with his wife. It was quite the adjustment for Mark as you can imagine. "You take a big fish in a small pond but drop it inside of an ocean, it takes a while to adjust," he tells me. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Mark dedicated himself to understanding this new landscape and learning the Toronto market.

| Ep #97: Creating Mega Wealth & Asking "What If…" with Mark Faris | 12 sept. 2023 | 01:02:21 | |
My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show is a familiar voice on the podcast scene but with an exciting and new story to tell. Mark Faris has had tremendous success in the real estate industry. After only 7 years in real estate, he became Royal LePage's #1 agent in the country and held that distinction for 5 consecutive years before opening his own brokerage, The Faris Team Real Estate Brokerage. To listen to this awe-inspiring interview with Mark, check out episode #34 from The Richard Robbins Show. Today's interview, however, touches on the possibilities this industry can offer you. Mark revealed that his 'why' and his motivation for success have constantly changed. "It was a matter of just putting food on the table, we had our credit cards with $10,000 in debt. My 'why' at that point was to put food on the table and, as a husband, provide." Mark explains that after all of his success, the thought that constantly came to him was - What If? "What if I could create a company that I could really be proud of? That idea was extremely motivating," Mark tells me which led to the creation of Faris Capital Partners. Faris Capital Partners focuses on getting premium returns for their Canadian and American investors by investing in multifamily apartments in Florida. His investors see a 15-20% annual return on their money and the goal is to raise over $200 million in capital by 2025.

| Ep #96: Succeeding Sooner by Starting Today with President of RE/MAX Canada, Christopher Alexander | 20 juin 2023 | 00:52:07 | |
On the 96th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with a former RRI Coaching Member and the President of RE/MAX Canada, Christopher Alexander. Right from the age of 13, Christopher, in one way or another, was working within the family business. Whether it was at the front desk or the accounting department, he has seen every level of the RE/MAX ladder. He started selling real estate in January of 2010 and although he had grown up in the industry, he didn't realize how hard it actually was. "I did 3 deals right out of the gate," Christopher tells me, "And thought to myself, 'Wow this is easy'! I didn't do another sale for the rest of the year. It was a really valuable lesson and, in my second year, I really got serious." His experience selling real estate isn't unique. Christopher tells me that he sees a lot of people enter the industry with a false perception of what it really takes to succeed. "What I've seen, especially in the last two and a half years, [is] a tremendous amount of salespeople getting their license for the first time, that got into it for the wrong reasons…they see the glamour. I think that's going to wash away because it's a tough business." In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Christopher and I discuss the past, present and future of RE/MAX and the entire real estate industry. Christopher stresses the importance of practising the real estate basics in order to find success in any market, he offers some insight into the future of real estate and tells us why it's important to start today instead of waiting for tomorrow. | |||

Tara and Tom Lyons have been married since 1992 and in that time, have created an outstanding real estate business in the town of Belleville, Ontario. While Tara focuses on delivering a seamless client experience during the home buying or selling process, Tom ensures homes get fantastic online exposure, thanks to his love for technology and marketing expertise. Tom, who Tara affectionately nicknamed 'Tom-dot-com', has brought the dynamic duo into the 21st century. "If you're not using AI, you will not have a competitive advantage," Tom tells me. "It's not about the technology, it's about the consistency." And consistent they have been. Tara and Tom have implemented AI into their business flawlessly to ensure their clients are taken care of at every opportunity. "I was in an appointment and I had 3 leads come in during that time," Tara explains, "They don't know I'm in an appointment because they're getting a response immediately. The technology is available today so you utilize it." In this episode, the importance of embracing technology in your real estate business is explored with Tara & Tom. They explain why you must adjust your business model to adapt to today's consumer, how to effectively maintain a partnership - which I can certainly relate to - and why AI can be the perfect addition to your follow-up sequence to build a better business.
