Episode 51 – Chip Barkel
Listen On The Podcast
Welcome back to our 51st episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Chip Barkel with EXP Realty in Toronto.
Today Chip shares how he went from working as a computer programmer teaching other programmers to jumping into the real estate world about 8 years ago.
Chip has built a great business by focusing on building relationships in his farm. He felt that if he could connect with people on a much more personal and “human” way, he would be able to increase his business.
In this episode Chip and I talk about:
- Why he chooses to play the long game in his farm by building relationships that convert over time rather than just looking for the “right now” business.
- Chip shares how he turned a disgruntled homeowner into a raving fan with box of chocolates and a candid conversation.
- What Chip does to add value to his farm using pop-by’s and personalized cards to strengthen the connections.
- A SUPER easy way to use personalized cards to stay in touch and stand out from your competition.
- How he farms condo’s and build relationships when it’s difficult to get in contact with the owners in person.
- Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!

About Our Guest
I have lived in Toronto for many years, in downtown Toronto, Toronto East, and Willowdale, adjacent to Bayview Village, in what was once the City of North York. I have always given back to my community, through several years of volunteer work at a hospice, facilitating grief workshops, and chairing fundraising events.
To me, being a REALTOR® means more than selling homes. It’s about a relationship based on trust, integrity, knowledge and expertise. You can be sure I will go the extra mile to give you the best possible experience when buying or selling your home.
