Adnan Assaf listened to some good advice before deciding to start his real estate career in 1992. “My uncle was a Realtor and my dad was always buying, fixing up and selling houses. One year we moved four times,” says Adnan, smiling, “My dad told me that I couldn’t go into this business for the money. He said the number one priority is to make the client happy.” Adnan has taken this advice to heart. He “bends over backwards” for his clients, even going so far as to drive clients to the carpet stores to help with colour selection. “My client is number one with me,” he says, “I like to treat every client as if they were my mother, brother, sister or father. A home is the most important thing in a person’s life. You come home to a place you like and your life’s going to be a little happier. When my clients are happy, I’m happy.” This born and raised Calgarian is constantly on the move, making sure his knowledge of the residential and commercial market is current. He’s been the Number One Realtor at the C.I.R. Downtown office since 1996 and was Number One in the entire company in 1998 and 1999. He’s a member of both the MLS Million Dollar Club and the CIR. President’s Platinum Award Club. He broke all of CIR’s sales records in 1998, no small feat. Adnan’s definition of success, however, has nothing to do with awards and recognition. “I work with long term goals in mind. To me, success means giving the best service possible to my clients, really hearing what they’re telling me and finding what they really want, first time out,” he explains, “Managing my days well and spending enough time with my family is also a very important part of the plan.” Adnan loves what he does for a living and it shows.
