Parramatta agency wins over top Canadian agent

A leading real estate agent from Saskakoon has travelled approximately 14,000 kilometres, as the crow flies, to join the team at RE/MAX Xtra.

Kunal Arya was a top agent with RE/MAX Bridge City Realty when a desire to move his family to a warmer climate and relaxed outdoor lifestyle saw him make the move to Australia.

Mr Ayra had worked as a professional agronomist in the Saskatchewan province before completing his Masters in Engineering (M.Eng Agricultural Engineering) at the University of Southern Queensland  in 2006 to 2008. Subsequently, he ran a successful business in India, manufacturing pavers, before returning to Canada.

โ€œI had wanted to do real estate for a very long time, but it took a RE/MAX broker owner, Brent Haas, to recognise my potential, and coach and mentor me.โ€

Mr Arya was named in the RE/MAX 100 per cent Club after just a year in the industry.

Mr Haas considers the agent one of his most valuable team members and a great loss.

โ€œWhat makes a great agent?โ€ he asks. โ€œOne that wants to be better.โ€

He describes Mr Arya as having an insatiable thirst for knowledge

โ€œKunal understood that, as an agent, knowledge is one of the most valuable products we have to sell.

โ€œBeing a part of a RE/MAX franchise removes all borders,โ€ explained Mr Haas.

โ€œKunal could operate anywhere in the world. Not many real estate franchises can offer that, and Kunal took it, another leap and found a RE/MAX franchise that suited what he was looking for.

โ€œAs a brokerage, our fundamental goal is to support our entrepreneurs so they can make an income, they must feel supported.

โ€œRE/MAX Bridge City is formed around good people like Kunal and we have grown successful alongside our agents because of them.

“Kunal Arya is a leader and he will lead the industry wherever he chooses to practice, it has been an honour to work alongside of him.โ€

Mr Arya acknowledges the support that has shaped his career.

โ€œI was in an office and with a global brand that had a true family culture and a belief in its agents being entrepreneurial and growing their own business while supported by the brand.”

Looking at where to settle his family led Mr Ayra to research a number of RE/MAX offices.

โ€œEverything I read and saw about RE/MAX Xtra made it initially feel the right choice. Then I met the broker owner, Morris Short, and instantly felt the same comfort as with Brent.

โ€œHere I was, on the other side of the world, and I had two business owners who talked the same language, believed in the same things, and offered the same level of opportunity and support.โ€

His first contact with Mr Short was via email.

โ€œI saw the email footer showing Kunal worked for RE/MAX Bridge City Realty in Saskatoon, Canada,โ€ Mr Short said.

โ€œWhen he came into my office, he proudly announced that he was coming to work with us and I am extremely delighted he chose the RE/MAX Xtra team.”
