As a university student, Devin Nadeau spent his summers working for a large corporation, which was enough to convince him of the need for greater control over where his career was headed. Upon graduating, he made a beeline toward real estate, where he instantly made a name for himself at Royal LePage, winning Rookie of the Year in 2012. Last year, he was number two in a brokerage of more than 250 agents.
Nadeau’s business has evolved from working with younger clients to older ones looking to downsize. His expertise is a major factor in attracting business, but so is his unpretentious disposition. “The best advice I can provide is to be yourself,” he says. “Don’t try to mimic what others are doing. Learn from them, but then work to carve out your own niche.”
