This week, we’re sitting down with Alex Hripko, one of Canada’s brightest rising stars in real estate. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Alex has earned her spot in the Top 35 Under 35 and is a proud member of the Royal LePage Chairman’s Club, putting her among the top 1% of agents nationwide. 🔥🏆

But today’s conversation goes way beyond accolades.

Alex opens up about what really drives her business — and it’s not just market knowledge or hustle (though she’s got plenty of that, too). It’s relationships. More specifically, how she’s built a rock-solid business through agent referrals. 💬💼

We dive into her systems, her mindset, and her commitment to staying connected — all while balancing the beautiful chaos of motherhood. 👩‍👧‍👦💕

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Agent referrals are gold — but you need a repeatable system to make them flow. Alex uses her proven 8-step Lifetime Referral System to stay top of mind year-round:

1. 🎟️ Attend franchise-branded events to connect with fellow agents
   
   

2. 📘 Show up at RRI events — learning + networking in one
   
   

3. 💬 Engage on social (likes, comments, shares) to stay visible
   
   

4. ✉️ Send a quarterly “Golden Nugget” email packed with value
   
   

5. ✍️ Mail handwritten notes after events or holidays — a personal touch that stands out
   
   

6. 🎂 Use birthday emails or BombBomb videos for that extra “wow”
   
   

7. 📞 Make random check-in calls — treat agents like friends, not just contacts
   
   

8. 🎁 Deliver a Spring Market Survival Kit — small items that show you get the job (granola bars, gum, Starbucks gift cards)

✔️ Small, thoughtful gestures like handwritten notes and surprise check-ins build long-term loyalty ✍️

✔️ Networking isn’t optional — it’s a business accelerator 🤝

✔️ Calgary’s market is thriving, but smart agents stay informed on national shifts 📈📉

✔️ RRI coaching helps agents stay focused, grounded, and accountable 📘

✔️ Blending family and business can strengthen your brand — show up authentically 👨‍👩‍👧

✔️ Time management is non-negotiable — protect what matters most ⏱️

✔️ Your gut and your values are the best business advisors you have 🧭

✔️ Consistency in communication is where the referral magic happens 📲

🏡 Key Takeaways for Real Estate Agents:

✔️ Want more leads? Build a system for agent-to-agent referrals 🔁

✔️ Share value first — helpful resources, check-ins, thoughtful follow-ups 📤

✔️ Be intentional with time management to protect your personal life ⏱️.

✔️ You don’t need to separate family and business — sometimes blending the two humanizes your brand 👨‍👩‍👧

✔️ Stay consistent with communication — that’s where the magic happens 📲

✔️Trust your gut and build your business around your values 🧭

This is more than a conversation about business — it’s about how to build a business that works for your life. Whether you're chasing Chairman’s Club or just starting out, Alex’s story will inspire you to grow with purpose, stay grounded, and create real connections that last.
