Dave Bailis spent 22 years in Toronto's pre-construction condo market — and then walked away.
Chris Cook sits down with Dave as he makes the pivot to full-service resale at RE/MAX Hallmark, unpacking what it actually means to rebuild a real estate business from the ground up when the market you knew no longer exists.
From the collapse of the investor-driven pre-con model to the surprising power of old-school open houses, Dave shares an honest account of what it's like to go from being an employee of a sales machine to becoming the product himself.
If you've ever felt like your business was built on someone else's foundation, this one's for you.
