According to Sutton Group’s Travis Boughner, to be happy, agents must find what it is about real estate that gets their hearts pumping. “Uncover what it is that you love about this business – whether it be door-knocking, cold-calling, open houses or other forms of connecting with people – and exploit it,” he advises. “Exploit what you love about this business because you can’t do everything that everyone tells you to do – nor can you often afford to.”

Boughner’s prior experience as an advertising sales consultant has proved invaluable in establishing him as one of Sutton Group’s top agents in the Durham Region. He has won the company’s Elite, Pinnacle and Platinum awards and was named Rookie of the Year in 2015.
