Seventeen years in, and I still walk into a house and look for the story before I look at the finishes.
Everything I do comes out of that. Before the photographer is booked, before we land on a number, before a sign goes anywhere near the lawn, I am standing in a room working out what this home actually is and who it belongs to next. The marketing follows from it. The positioning follows from it. So does the way I hold my ground at eleven at night when a negotiation gets tight, because you cannot defend a home you never took the time to understand.
I am Kaitlyn Gottlieb. Western Canada Director for Real’s Luxury Division, one of Alberta’s top-producing agents for more than a decade, seventeen years into this, and a shelf of awards I mostly read as evidence that the method holds.
The belief the whole business sits on is that exceptional service should never be decided by a price point. I bring the same strategy to a first condo as I do to a property that lists at four million. Same research. Same photographer. Same tenacity in the negotiation. Same honest advice when the honest advice is that you should wait. I have never once understood agents who treat those as different jobs.
What you will find on this page is the work, and the life the work is built on.
The marketing, shown properly. How a home gets positioned, what story we chose and why, what the photos were shot to do. Real numbers out of this market instead of a feeling about it. What actually happens inside a negotiation, which is quieter and far more prepared than television has led anyone to believe. And the homes themselves, including the ones that photograph badly and sell in nine days anyway.
Then the rest of it, which is not a separate thing from the work… continued in comments —>
