November 2009 Realtor of the Month: Shane Calder
1. Why did you choose Real Estate to make a career?
Helping people acquire or sell real estate is a huge responsibility. I like the fact that you are helping people purchase something that they want. You don't have to use shady salesman techniques to make someone purchase or sell a home. They want to do it. If I do my job, people are happy and that is the best reward in working in real estate.
2. What do you like about Real Estate?
The real estate market is ever changing. The key to being a successful real estate agent is staying on top of the changes and adapting to the current market. It is difficult and challenging. I find myself stepping out of my comfort zone to be successful. Approaching people is not the easiest thing for me. My constant drive is I am helping people make the most important decision of their life, and I want to make sure that it is the right one.
3. Is there anything unique about the Logan Utah Real Estate market compared to other areas of Utah?
The most unique thing about the Logan, Utah market is that it has been fairly constant. Even though the rest of Utah and the country took a big jump and then a fall, Logan has remained unusually consistent.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In ten years I see myself still in the real estate market. I want to expand into residential and commercial development. Currently, I am studying those fields and really excited about the outlook on Cache Valley.
5. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company.
I live with my wife and two children in Nibley. We love Cache Valley and look forward to being here a long time. I have been doing real estate for a little over 4 years now, and love the endless possiblities that it posesses. I have worked with investing, residential, and commercial properties. We enjoy the beautiful scenery, endless outdoor activites, and going to USU sporting events.
