Starting Young in Sales: A Fireside Chat with RE/MAX Agent Leo Puskar

Most people wait until after graduation to start building something. Leo Puskar didn't.

Leo is a young agent with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty who built his real estate business on his own. We're sitting down with him for an unscripted fireside chat, and he hasn't seen a single question. We'll talk about:

- How he found his first clients

- How to handle rejection and keep going

- How to read people and start conversations that go somewhere

- The sales skills that work just as well in an interview or at a networking event as in a deal

Then it's your turn to ask him anything.

What you get:

- Free pizza from 5:30 to 6:00, so come early

- A door prize draw for AirPods at 7:00. Bring friends: every friend who checks in and names you earns you a bonus entry. You must be in the room to win.

- A one-page recap of Leo's best advice, emailed to everyone who checks in

Who should come: any McMaster student, any faculty, any year. You don't need to want a career in real estate. If you want to get better at sales, starting something or selling yourself, this is for you.
