About this event:

Our Speakers:  Kelley Skar

Kelley is a second-generation REALTOR®, passionate real estate coach, and trainer, with a proven history of success. He is also an international speaker, recognized for his impactful contributions to the real estate industry.

He knew early on in life that he was going to be an educator. Kelley started in University with the goal of becoming a high school teacher, however, life took him in a different direction. His passion for learning and educating has never left and as a result, he is a dedicated learner and a student of history, business and life. His passion lies in high level discussion around business strategies and helping agents & brokers build a bigger, better, highly profitable real estate business.

He has been married to his beautiful wife for over 17 years and they have smart, athletic and articulate 15 year old twins. They enjoy hiking through the Okanagan, spending time at the beach and on the lake as well as traveling the continent and hopefully at some point, the globe. He loves to play golf, workout in the gym, hangout with friends and is a huge Green Bay Packers football fan.

One of his favourite quotes comes by way of Jocko Willink: 

Getting better isn’t about a hack or a trick or one change that you need to make. Getting better is a campaign. It’s daily, weekly, an hourly fight. Against weakness, temptation & laziness. It’s a campaign of discipline. A campaign of hard work and dedication. It’s about getting up early, going to bed late and grinding out every second in between!”      Connect with Kelley here:  Stories • Instagram
