We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Bryan Devore a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Bryan, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about one of the craziest things you’ve experienced in your journey so far.
This isn’t a crazy story but it’s a situation that reiterated for me why I am grateful to be able to do what I do. A business colleague was caring for an elderly woman (we will call her Jane) who was living alone in her home. Jane had hoarding disorder and her home was in severe disrepair. She could no longer cook in her kitchen or safely move in her home. My colleague wanted to move Jane to a board and care where she would be put on hospice, but Jane didn’t have the funds to pay. Because Jane owned her home, I was able to secure a buyer for her home quickly and my colleague got her moved to a board and care. Once Jane was out of her home, she began eating better and receiving proper medical care. Soon she graduated off hospice and is living safely while the money she received for her home will finance her care for the rest of her days.
Bryan, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I have been a Realtor since 2003 and began specializing in working with the senior population in 2016. Since that time, I have come to learn about the vast array of resources available – home care, medical care, non-profit organizations, housing options, and so much more – and have been working to connect seniors with them. Our older generations helped build our country and they deserve to live their best lives. Through my work I am grateful to have the opportunity to connect seniors with these great resources.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
When you do the right things for the right reasons, good things happen. Over the last 6 years I have fostered relationships with professionals and others who help support seniors, and we have collaborated in many ways to help seniors achieve better lives. Through that work I have built a reputation of being dedicated to helping seniors, and it’s a reputation I don’t take lightly.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Much of my time is spent volunteering with non-profit organizations that support seniors, networking with professionals who provide senior-centered services, and connecting with senior living communities. Over time they have become more confident in referring their clients to me.
