Steve Foran Speaking Testimonials

On 12 hours’ notice, Steve delivered for our Atlantic Canadian team. I don’t know how he managed to personalize his message to our situation and our needs so quickly, but I thought he was talking about real estate the entire time. His message was impactful and I see it in how our people have been behaving in the weeks that have followed. We are now looking at ways to engage Steve, regionally and nationally, to help our people integrate the principles of persistence and gratitude into our real estate businesses so that Royal LePage Realtors stand out as exceptional delivers of service excellence.
