My Team of Specialists
Most real estate teams are comprised of a group of agents that band together to share expenses. Their logic is to reduce expenses, share costs, and thus be more profitable. It’s an ideal situation for the Realtors, and helps their bottom line.
But how does it benefit the consumer?… How does it benefit you?
My Knock-Knock.ca is structured differently. Each team member brings a different set of skills to the table. By pooling their specialized skills and abilities, we’re able to provide a higher level of service, more resources, and better results to you.
Have a look at my team, and see what I mean when I say that I have the best damned team in the business!
Susie MacLeod

Chief Executive In Charge of Absolutely Everything
(If you have a special favour to ask of her, remember that she has a weakness for popcorn with extra butter; white chocolate; and pink Gerbera Daisies. Obviously, bribes are accepted!!)
Gord Mellor
The Man Who Makes Your House Look Pretty
Here’s a person that you don’t see on other real estate teams… a proper professional photographer.
Have you ever seen those real estate pictures that are a great shot of the wall or doorway but completely miss the room? Those WEREN’T taken by Gord! His specialized “ultra-ridiculous wide angle” lense is guaranteed to capture the entire room of any property, no matter how small it might be. This helps to make your home look better on the websites and brochures, draws more buyer traffic to your home, and gives our agents a better shot at getting your home sold.
Robin Maus
Our Net Geek Extraordinaire!
Online. The web. Social Marketing. Facebook. Blog. WordPress. HTML. Flash. SEO. Web 2.0. xml. LinkedIn. Twitter. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Most of us don’t understand it, let alone use it effectively. John is no different. There’s simply no possible way that a Realtor can show homes, handle transactions, service home owners and clients, and do all the professional things that you hire us to do… and maintain the plethora of online duties that are required in a modern high speed sales business like ours.
That’s where Robin comes in. Not only does he understand this stuff; he eats, sleep, and breaths this stuff. He knows more about the online marketing and social media phenomenon than John could ever hope to know; and more importantly Robin knows how to make the most of it for marketing and promoting products… like your home!
Robin is a young designer, born and raised in the south of Germany. He left Germany after university to collect a vast design experiences working for agencies in Berlin, New York, Montreal, and Rio de Janeiro. Since than he is in charge of all the creative work for the knock-knock team. What a happy ending..!
Walter Sanford

The Team Coach
Every professional sports team in the world has a coach. Tiger Woods, the greatest and most talented golfer in the history of the game, has dozens of coaches. Wayne Gretzky had a personal skating coach, even though he’s the best the game has ever seen. In fact, the most successful people in any field usually have a coach. Walter is my coach.
Walter advises me from his own experience. He single handedly outsold most real estate brokerages of 50+ agents, and destroyed the competition for more than 30 years. He’s the best. Period. Nobody is better.
Walter is one of the most sought-out real estate speakers and trainers. He has spoken to millions of agents across the globe, and has become revered as “the man” when it comes to training Realtors and Brokers. His 12+ books on the subject of marketing and selling real estate are hot commodities at conferences around the world, and have helped to form the careers of literally 1,000 of agents.
Walter also personally coaches a select small group of agents across north America. To be asked to join his coaching program is a great honor that most Realtors only dream of, and one John was happy to accept in 2007. His coaching clients are the cream of the crop, the finest agents in the business. Think of his training program as “Top Gun” for Realtors; “you’re the best… I’m going to make you even better.”
Walter is the person John goes to when he encounters impossible situations or difficult transactions, the man with whom he can discuss the most challenging of marketing situation. Walter can look at the problem and find the best options, from running the business to designing ads, to writing MLS listings, to getting that challenging home sold when nobody else can; with Walter’s help I do it better than anyone.
