Dean DesrosiersProfessional Coach | READ BIO | TESTIMONIALS“High performance happens by design, not by accident. Impactful coaching is guiding clients to find clarity and focus through understanding and compassion.” Dean’s philosophy is family first, creating a great life and working with great clients. It’s all connected. It’s all possible. “When I joined the profession, I was assaulted by agents who had a pessimistic view of life as a realtor: loss of family time, loss of weekends, disloyal clients and untrustworthy colleagues.” “I knew I could create something different. I built my business around my core values and aligned my actions.” The result was plenty of awards and more importantly, a balanced life. Dean became licensed in 2008 just as sales volume plummeted. The market crash provided an opportunity. While others faltered, Dean’s business grew.

I started selling real estate in 2007 and after 7 1/2 years of treading water and not achieving the results I wanted I decided to try coaching. I looked at some of the big names like Richard Robins, Brian Buffini and Mike Ferry, but I was not sold. I wanted a more personal approach to coaching. I took a negotiation course with The Nature of Real Estate in December of 2014 and I really liked the unscripted genuine approach. Suze Cumming introduced me to Tracy Arnett and I knew very quickly she was going to be a great fit. I spoke at length with Tracy during my first interview and I never felt rushed or pressured by her to sign up, but I am sure glad I did.
Over the last year since I started working with Tracy, we have put systems in place that have really helped me streamline my business so I can work smarter, not harder. As a married father with two young girls, time with my family is very important to me and Tracy has helped immensely with time management. My business is more consistent than ever so I no longer worry where the next deal is coming from. Our long term strategies ensure a steady flow of business that is constantly growing. 2015 was my best year to date. We tripled my earnings from 2014, and I earned my first Sales Achievement Award from my brokerage. 2016 is already shaping up to be another banner year for me.
Tracy has helped me work on my strengths, as well as build my confidence both as a Realtor and as a person. This confidence, when combined with our great marketing strategies and her constant support, has helped me become a more successful Realtor than I was in prior years. I’m excited to build off of what we have accomplished over the last year and have no doubts that by the end of 2016 I will be a top producing Realtor.
I have been working with Tracy for several months now and look forward to our weekly coaching calls. Tracy’s common sense approach to coaching is helping me achieve the goals I have set for myself this year. Tracy’s intuitive nature has helped greatly in that the guidance she provides is geared toward what works best with my personality type and business style. Her calm and patient demeanour are also greatly appreciated! Thanks to Tracy, I have almost reached my target … several months ahead of schedule!
Tracy is a very effective coach because she is highly personable as well as being a very experienced advisor! She immediately identified where the choke points were for me. We worked well together first to improve my energy level and then shifting me more towards my strengths using a social mindset. By improving my questioning and prospecting I have improved client choices and outcomes resulting in win-win seller and buyer situations. Without struggle, but rather with persistence, we improved my database of contacts to more than 200 in four months! I never felt like it was work as we channeled this energy in a happy social context. There are still, and always will be improvements to be made, but working with Tracy makes this process of assisting clients to sell and buy homes most enjoyable! Many thanks for your flexibility and patience with me Tracy!
Working with Tracy has brought clarity and focus to my real estate career. Her expertise and experience has helped me to build a clear and precise plan for success. I would recommend Tracy to any agent looking to further their career and become more efficient in how they spend their time succeeding in real estate.
Life as a Realtor is very lonely, even if you work in a collaborative office, and it’s difficult to find a safe haven to be able to bounce ideas and challenges off of…. That’s the sort of relationship I quickly developed with Tracy. I had heard about her in the local area as being a “powerhouse” and an amazing Realtor, so when I finally decided to take the plunge and hire a coach, I knew it had to be her!
She knows when to push and when to encourage; when to ask questions and when to listen; and she thinks outside the box… all the time. I thought I had lots of creative ideas until I met her.
I would highly recommend anyone considering hiring a coach, to take the plunge and hire Tracy. The difference you will experience in both yourself and your business will take you that much closer to your goals. You won’t be sorry you did!
Working with Suze and Tracy has been instrumental in getting me to “mega-agent” status. They are like the compass on a ship or a plane keeping me on course with my goals with their deep knowledge of the business, and insight into what to have me learn or implement next as I grow into one of the top realtors in the county. They are awesome and care deeply for my success.
Our coaching with Tracy Arnett has been an exceptional experience. My
partner Madalin & I found Tracy to be a gifted mentor, creating clarity in the ever challenging real estate profession. She challenges, teaches & encourages us to become better at who we are & what we do. I feel very fortunate to have her guidance & encouragement.

I used Dean for coaching when I felt my business needed a boost and my current methods weren’t working the way I thought they should. Thanks to Dean, he helped break down what daily tasks I needed to do to hit my goals, and during a year where many, many, many agents in my market place had slower, or very slow years due to market conditions, I ended up having my best year ever in my career. I highly recommend Dean if you want to take your business to the next level!
