1. Which of our BHGRE<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> P.A.I.G.E. (Passion, Authenticity, Inclusion, Growth, Excellence) core values do you identify with most, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Growth: However not the way most people view that word. In an industry where the only constant is change, continual self-improvement and growth is of utmost importance. Growth, to me, is about improving oneself on a daily basis to ensure you are helping everyone in your tribe, both personally and professionally, reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. What are your favorite qualities in a customer? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Passion. My agents are also my clients in a sense and passion is a quality you can\u2019t teach. If an agent is passionate about what they do and why they do it, the \u201chow\u201d can be taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. What is the one characteristic that\u2019s helped you the most in your career? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Grace under pressure. Having the ability to remain calm and collected, even in the most chaotic and challenging situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. What was the last book you read? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fierce Conversations<\/em> by Susan Scott. Each time I read this book, I learn something new that helps me grow as a leader and deal with those tough but needed conversations that shape our paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. If you were not in real estate, what would you be doing? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Selling tacos on a beach!! In all seriousness, likely something in a creative\/concierge type role. One that allows me to help others and provide exceptional experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. What was the last song you heard that you couldn\u2019t stop humming? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was likely a song I can\u2019t name from TikTok, overheard as my 14 year old tried to perfect some new dance moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last one I can remember is Get Along by Kenny Chesney. Such a catchy tune!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Who is your real-life hero? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My mother. She has been an incredible inspiration and mentor. She taught me the importance of doing the right thing, even if it isn\u2019t popular, and trusting your instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. What is your favorite motto? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. If you could sell a home in any market in the world, where would it be? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Amalfi coast in Italy. That area and the homes have always fascinated me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. What advice would you give your younger self starting out in real estate? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Seize 2 minutes of courage every day: make the tough phone calls, do the things that push you outside of your comfort zone, have the difficult conversations. It\u2019s a roller coaster, learn to strap in and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christian is president and CEO of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Kansas City Homes, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. 1.
