Introduction - Michael Cosburn, REALTOR

Hey everybody, it’s Michael Cosburn, your local Real Estate Agent with Homelife Benchmark Realty, out of the Brookswood office.

I thought it would be a good idea to give you a little introduction for those of you that don’t know me. Maybe you’ve seen my sign around or you’re getting my newsletter, which is great!

I hope you are enjoying that there in Brookswood, take pride in that! It’s a nice bit of information that comes directly to your inbox every month.

So, to tell you a little bit about myself, I was working in teaching before I got into Real Estate. I started working in Real Estate about 12 years ago with Homelife out of the Langley office. 

I currently live in the Surrey/Langley area right up there in Clayton Heights. Which is a fantastic area, I love the people and the community!

As previously mentioned, I was a teacher before my current career. I lived in Tokyo for nine years and what a fabulous city! I grew to really appreciate the opportunities that I had over there.

A few things that I learned as I transitioned into my current business is that listening to people is very important. It helps them get to where they want to be. This applied to me in my work then and even more now!

While dealing with clients, I have to be able to ask and learn what it is that you’re looking for. How can we help you get that and what are the things that you want? Whether that is selling your home or purchasing one.

Another thing that was important from when I was teaching was being able to explain to people how language works and why we are using it…

This applies more than ever in Real Estate! We ask ourselves, what are the rules? Maybe you’ve been out of the game and haven’t sold or purchased something in a long time or you could be a first time buyer!

Communication in how this process works is crucial while looking to buy or sell a home. Of course staying up to date with the new rules like the foreign buyer ban or the recession period that’s been brought into place.

So, my past teaching experience has helped me transition with my business that I have now by being able to answer those questions and provide people with answers. Because let's face it, residential Real Estate can be stressful!

And I’m here to take that stress away from you, it’s my job to explain the process better to you in a way that‘s better for all of us moving forward.

I really appreciate you taking the time to get to know me better and as always, if you have any questions I’m your Brookswood local realtor! Reach me at 778-245-8424, or sold@brookswoodhomes.info.

Take care!
