Albert Garibaldi’s personal and pro -fessional life runs like a well-oiledmachine, to say the least. In fact it isprecisely his systematic approach tobalancing his personal wellbeing,with his family life and his wildlysuccessful real estate career that hasso many other agents turning to himfor guidance via his training, histalks, or through his books.

Yet for Albert, who has beensuccessful in sales since the age of17, and holds a position as one of thetop REALTORS® in California; thereis nothing that bothers him more thanbeing called a “great salesman.”

“Some salespeople are ruthless. Theysell people what they want to sellthem. I only sell people what theywant and need, and I have thecourage to ask the tough questions, sothat I can get to the truth,” he says.“Once I can get to the truth, then I canlead buyers and sellers. That’s myjob-to lead,” he adds.

“I am unattached to the outcome, butI am passionate about helping andinspiring others. The number one

thing that clients look for is trust.Clients can only trust you if they likeyou. When they see that I’m not therefor a commission, and they see that Iam not afraid to tell them the truth,the barriers come down. They likeme, then trust me. From there, my job

is to educate clients, and make peoplefeel good about the decisions theymake after they have the education.”

Albert is quick to point out that inorder to be an effective leader, thereare many areas of his life that may

not appear at first glance to berelated to real estate, but to him theyare part of his job description. “Ihave to feel my best every day.When I look my best, I feel my best.So to me, my morning sessions witha personal trainer are part of my

job,” he says. It gets me in the rightmindset for a successful day.”

His passion for being in a healthy stateof mind and body also includesmaintaining a happy home life. Withthree children, and a 20 year marriagegoing strong, Albert says that running asuccessful real estate business, where10 escrows are going at the sametime, is no excuse for short changinghis family. “Family comes first. I takemy children to school every day. Iwork out with my train er five days a

week. And then I am in the rightframe of mind to focus en tire ly on myclients. I am able to, and they alwaysfeel like they are my only client.”

Albert’s discipline system then man -dates that he spend two hours ofprospecting via phone each day, wherehe is direct with clients, but refuses tocombat anything they say. “You aresetting yourself up if you fight withtheir opinion,” he says. “If they saythey are planning to do something inregards to real estate, and you tell

them that they are wrong, you’re goingto create fric tion. You have to be ontheir side. If they say that they firmlybelieve in holding onto real estate, anddon’t want to sell, I tell them that theyare right. Real estate—particularly inCalifornia—is a terrific investment.But I can let them know that an 8 unitcondo is for sale, in case they want toadd to their portfolio, or can think ofanyone they know of who might beinterested,” he says.
