Realtor to Business Owner!

Realtor to Business Owner 

Lori Alvarez of Keller Williams Realty in Glendora was one of several high performers invited to participate in an Expand symposium for real estate and mortgage professionals.

The Nov. 2 symposium featuring presenters who “do it all” personally and professionally was conducted by Driven coaching and sponsored by VIP Independent Mortgage.

Real Estate Panel 

“I was honored and humbled to be asked to join the panel of distinguished colleagues and share my story with other real estate professionals,” Alvarez said.

Darren Kirkland, coach and business development for Driven Coaching, said he has known Alvarez for about six years and watched her blossom from realtor to business owner who specializes in real estate sales.

“Her path has been one of success and I wanted to exploit her story,” Kirkland said. “I wanted her and her peers to recognize her as a business owner that has taken models and effort seriously and has accomplished a ton.”

Expand symposiums offered nationwide are designed to help those in the business learn to enjoy life and grow their business at the same time.

The Family - Lori, Amy and Nathan 

Four years ago, Alvarez realized she was working too many hours and not spending enough time at home so she started building her team.

“I didn’t want my business to become a priority over family but I didn’t want my clients to suffer either,” Alvarez said.She hired an assistant, and then brought on her sister, Amy, and oldest son, Nathan, as buyer’s agents. Even her three younger sons help her with open house signs, passing out flyers and knocking on doors.  Since then, her business has grown in volume to about $11 million a year.

When asked what advice or insight she would like to leave with the audience, Alvarez said, “I get up every day and give my absolute best at every opportunity.  When you give your best, everyone wins.”
