Tobias Smulders – Launch Your Farm – Episode 43
Listen On The Podcast
Welcome back to our 43rd episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Tobias Smulders with Re/Max Escarpment in Hamilton.
Today Tobias shares how ended up getting into farming after taking a course when he was a new agent. He decided to farm the area he grew up in. It’s a very unique and small area where he’s built an awesome business from such a small area.
In this episode Tobias and I talk about:
- Why he chose to farm a small and distinct area with low turnover and how he’s managed to have a lot of success despite what “traditional” farming teaches you to do.
- Tobias shares how he built his expertise in the area by learning everything he could about the area and how he uses that to add value to his farm.
- What he’s done to gain mind share and market share in his farm by focusing on an area that didn’t have much competition to begin with. And we talk about how he’s maintained it.
- A SUPER easy way to add value to the community by running a really active Facebook group in the area.
- How he was able to leverage the re-development in the area by targeting the out of town developers to build relationships and get the inside scoop.
- Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!

About Our Guest
Hard work and determination is the name of the game for Tobias Smulders whose path into the real estate industry was a bit unconventional.
Following college, Tobias entered the construction field, but shortly after realized his passion was in sales and not in constructing. With an interest in automobiles, Tobias began a new chapter of his career selling car parts and managing online sales in a highly competitive and customer-driven market. It was in this stage of his career that Tobias developed strong negotiation and customer service skills, which led him to realize that he prefers an environment where he’s working with people and helping solve their needs. With that in mind, and a demand for Property Appraisers at the time, Tobias furthered his education and enhanced his skills by becoming a Canadian Personal Property Appraiser, and in 2012, solidified his career in real estate and graduated from the OREA Real Estate College.
Perseverance pays off, as Tobias is the recipient of a number of awards, most notably, recognized as the Top Five Sale Individuals for 2017, as well as the 2017 Remax Hall of Fame Career Award.
Passionate about his local community, family-focused, a crazy sock aficionado, and always on the hunt for the next fantastic rental property, Tobias and his partner, Shannon, can often be found walking their three dogs along the waterfront, checking out the latest hip restaurant, or simply entertaining guests in their home.
