✔️ Why the value of collaboration and non-egotistical culture is the key to Wardman Residential's success. Owner and principal realtor Tom Bauer shares that this is key to the team's continued growth. "I really, truly believe that someone will achieve their goal if they have a purpose behind doing so, not because I told them to. And that's how we think about our life, and that's how we wanted our agents to be. The last thing I want is anyone on our team stressed out because they can't make this number that we gave them or and some of us like, we're never going to give ourselves a number that's too high. We give ourselves a number that we want to achieve that will make us happy, live our lives and not dread working. So that's how we want our agents to be as well."
✔️ A client-centric real estate team. "That's one of the reasons why we don't pressure our agents to sell because we'd rather have them take care of their clients in an ethical, proper manner because that is our brand on the line with consumers, and we want to make sure that they are taken care of 100% correctly."

✔️ Be coachable if you want to do coaching; this is a vital attribute to succeed in the business of helping people such as real estate. This is the secret for the Wardman Residential team at Compass, led by Evan Johnson and Tom Bauer. "We practice what we preach. We coach once a week. And so we find that if you want to expand your business and you want growth, that's a crucial facet."

✔️ How do you sustain the zest for the real estate business? For top producers Evan Johnson and Tom Bauer, it's the capacity to build a balanced life that keeps you coming to work every single day having that excitement and purpose that you absolutely love.
