Tyler Baptist wants to help real estate agents hit the ground running.
As sales manager for the Dione Irwin Real Estate team at Re/Max, Baptist helps new agents get experience, problem-solve and offer tips on what to look out for.
“My mentoring philosophy revolves around fostering a relationship built on trust, empathy and empowerment,” says Baptist.
“While guidance is crucial, I also believe in empowering mentees to make informed decisions and take ownership of their development. Encouraging autonomy builds self-confidence and instils a sense of responsibility, which is a key component of long-term success.”
Baptist believes strongly in giving back to the community. Over her career, she has helped co-ordinate the Annual Citywide Food Drive, donated a portion of every commission to the Children’s Miracle Network, and volunteered for a number of organizations like the Airdrie and District Hospice Society and Ronald McDonald House.
“Even though Tyler is a very busy realtor and mother to two young kids, she takes the time to not only walk new agents to the team through a daunting amount of information, but also is a constant source of information and encouragement to all of us,” says nominator Debbie Sheen.
“I would not have the knowledge, nor be the effective realtor I am today, if it weren’t for her mentorship. I know that I owe a lot of my success to her.”
