CRICKET TO RE/MAX I decided to quit cricket which had been a part of my life for 20 years, and start a RE/MAX franchise. Thus begins the story of RE/MAX Metro when on 1st August 2010, the first office was opened by me. 21. RE/MAX METRO HUMBLE BEGINNING From scratch I began my office with only three agents and gradually learnt the business from scratch. I did a lot of learning and research in order to understand the real estate world. 22. RE/MAX METRO GROWS Slowly but steadily, RE/MAX Metro started growing, initially with references from friends and family and then from clients, from advertisements and agents. 23. SOME ADVERTISEMENTS 24. BIGGER TEAM More agents joined and today we have 14 agents working for RE/MAX Metro and we are all set to grow further. 25. RE/MAX SAFETY Being a part of the RE/MAX group has been a kind of safety net for us. RE/MAX started to grow eventually to 12 offices in Ahmedabad (as on 1st August 2013 ) and 100 agents which is the biggest real estate broking company in Ahmedabad. 26. AWARDS FOR RE/MAX METRO During the RE/MAX India Goa Convention 2013, our team was awarded the second best franchise in India and I won the Top Recruiter award for year 2012-2013 and my agents were recognized as best agents. 27.

I learnt how to reduce running expenditure and increase the income by implementing the right things. LEARNING 30. DISCIPLINE AND DEDICATION But hard work and dedication can make any job easy. The discipline that I had learnt way back during the game came in handy to make me do well in a business I had no clue about. Competition brings out the best in the person, be it cricket or business. 31.
