The Golden Keys
We tend to overestimate what we can do in one year, but we grossly underestimate what we can accomplish in five years. You do not need to be the smartest person in the room and you do not need to be the most gifted, you just need to be powered by something deeper to break the chains of what is your ’normal.’ Nothing life changing happens in your comfort zone. Trent & Karissa are entrepreneurs and owners in multiple businesses/investments and have been recognized nationally and globally for their impact in the real estate industry. Trent says, ”There are two types of consumers out there. Those that will transact in the immediate future and those that will transact someday. I believe that if we focus on making a difference in peoples lives during the time they are NOT transacting, everything else will just fall into place. Every other agent and business is focused on the immediate satisfaction and those people that need to transact asap. We are focused on the majority of the population that are going to transact some day.” Prior to real estate, Trent was in the hotel industry, most recently at Four Seasons Hotel Miami. It was there that he fell in love with the concierge role and the art of making things happen. He has adopted the title ’Les Clef d’Or Realtor’ which is inspired by the highest honor amongst the concierge community. Les Clef d’Or is French and translates to ’The Golden Keys.’ It is said that Les Clefs d’Or Concierge holds the golden keys to the city. Trent feels that by providing endless opportunity and resources for his community, he holds the golden keys to the city as well and can share those with his people. Karissa spent most of her professional career in consumer goods and handled the most demanding and sizable accounts(Target Corp, QVC, Menards, and more). Her ability to manage and her attention to detail made her the perfect partner in real estate as she took the Director of Operations role and ran with it. Karissa is recognized as one of the most skilled and admired operations persons in the largest real estate company in the world.
