Entrepreneurship is a demanding and challenging career path\nthat requires a unique set of skills and traits such as risk-taking,\ndetermination, creativity, and adaptability. Not everyone is cut out for it as\nit can involve long hours, creating your own structure, financial uncertainty,\nand stress related to decision-making. Often people do not find themselves in\nan entrepreneurial role until later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a young university student, Realtor\u00ae Micah Pelster<\/a> was unusually clear eyed in determining that entrepreneurship was meant for him.  Despite taking part time studies at MacEwan University, it was time for him to break into the real estate industry.  He decided to start his business and begin making a name for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pelster joined Realty Executives Focus<\/a> in April 2022. Since joining, he has balanced full-time studies toward his Bachelor of Commerce degree, helped multiple families buy and sell real estate in Alberta, and managed properties for families, students, and the Edmonton-area workforce.  He has spent hundreds of hours hosting open houses, networking, and door-knocking in the Sherwood Park area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His commitment to building his business has impressed his\npeers and set higher standards for the local industry. \u201cMicah has continually\nsurpassed my expectations for a Realtor\u00ae in the business for less than five\nyears.  He is everything that a\nprofessional real estate agent should be. \nHe displays the right attitude, determination, and passion for helping\npeople\u201d said Sandy Johnson, Broker\/Owner of Realty Executives Focus.  \u201cHe is willing to put in the time and the\neffort and, as a result, is exceling at a phenomenal rate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelster actively works to develop himself personally and\nprofessionally, a key habit of entrepreneurs that he developed prior to\ngraduating high school.  Before deciding\non real estate, he reached out to multiple real estate agents and brokerages to\nlearn as much as he could about a career and life in the industry.  Now he continues to evolve his career by\nparticipating in other agents\u2019 courses, poring over \u201chow to\u201d guides, working on\nhis social media streams, and attending conferences.  He participates in real estate projects in\nproperty management, development, and flipping homes with his Realty Executives\npeers for continuous learning. He believes that the key to success is\nsurrounding himself with the best and learning from them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelster\u2019s sense of teamwork has been invaluable to his\nblossoming real estate career.  It has\nbeen a way to demonstrate that professionalism doesn\u2019t necessarily come from\nyears of experience, but from having the right mindset and drive.  \u201cIf our Executives are caught up and cannot\nmake an appointment, there is no doubt that Micah will step in to help.  He will show listings, meet clients on\npossession day, show rentals, and more. \nHe can adapt to situations and goes out of his way to accommodate his\nclients and his fellow Realtors\u00ae,\u201d said Jarett Johnson, Broker\/Owner of Realty\nExecutives Focus.  \u201cIt\u2019s just one of the\nmany reasons that he was nominated for Realtors\u00ae Association of Edmonton\u2019s Rookie of the\nYear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelster\u2019s well-roundedness, love of human connection, and\nsense of community authentically extends beyond real estate.  He works with various charitable\norganizations and has influenced his brokerage to become more involved with the\ncommunity as well. With Micah\u2019s encouragement and introduction, the brokerage\nconnected with the Sherwood Park Chamber of Commerce to participate in the\nSherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan Trade Shows, as well as golf tournaments to\nsupport AHS and the Boyle Street Community Foundation. On the weekends you can\nfind him serving meals to the homeless along Boyle Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick van den Bossche, President of Realty Executives\nInternational, the franchisor, applauds Micah\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit, work\nethic, and commitment to his community. \u201cEntrepreneurs need to be able to wear\nmany hats, including those of a manager, marketer, financial analyst, and\nsalesperson. They need to have strong leadership skills, excellent\ncommunication skills to build relationships with customers and partners, and an\neye for innovation to stay ahead of the competition. They need to become a local\nexpert not only because it is their profession, but because they have great\nlove for the place where they work, live, and play and want to share it. This\nis really special to see in an Executive so fresh in the business.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand, who calls their sales agents \u201cExecutives,\u201d is\nproud to have Pelster amongst its ranks and is hopeful that he will be honoured\nfor his leadership and selfless contribution to the industry with the Rookie of\nthe Year award.  Beyond the immediate\nfuture, Realty Executives hopes to see young professionals like Pelster lead\nthe way for future Canadian real estate agents. \u201cThe industry needs more people\nlike Micah Pelster. It needs the energy and new perspective of young agents\ncombined with the professionalism, knowledge, and expertise of tenured agents.\nIt needs true entrepreneurs and neighbourhood experts who are driven to achieve\nsuccess,\u201d said van den Bossche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
