“Just get in. That’s what it comes down to. Just get into the market.” - Kelsey FranciscoIn this episode, The Stone Sisters sit down with Kelsey Francisco, one of the realtors at RE/MAX Kelowna Stone Sisters. Kelsey has been working with Shannon and Tamara for 3 years and has been in real estate for 4 years. She grew up in a real estate family so it was always a huge part of her life, though she never expected to get into this field herself. Kelsey shares the story of how she went from having a degree in Psychology and working as a behaviour interventionist, to becoming a phenomenal realtor in Kelowna. Kelsey explains how her psychology training has helped her as a real estate agent. She describes the typical buyer persona she works with and what they typically look for in a home. Kelsey talks about the growing trend of buying a house or condo to use solely as an Airbnb. She outlines what factors are most important to consider when buying for this reason. Kelsey recognizes that there are hoops you need to jump through when running an Airbnb but when looking at how lucrative they can be, she believes it’s all worth it.
