Niels Christensen

Niels Christensen  Broker, ABR., CCREC., CFE.

Niels' career in real estate began in 1986 after serving as a police officer for 11 years with the Toronto Police Service. Putting the needs of his clients first has always been a primary principle of his business, and as his career grew, Niels realized that the traditional model for real estate - one agent trying to be all things to all people - was vanishing. Industry studies predict that soon, 97% of business will be handled by 3% of the agents. These elite agents approach the real estate business in an entirely different manner. They understand that consumers today expect a higher level of expertise, service and accountability.
 
Niels recognized that the best way to provide this level of service is through a team of specialists and that a team concept was the next step in order to maintain the same level of service that his clients had come to expect. Thus, "The Christensen Team" was formed. Comprised of a select group of individuals who work well together and share Niels' philosophy of “People before property”, The Christensen Team is ranked as one the leading real estate teams in Toronto and one of the top RE/MAX Teams in Canada. A firm believer in giving back to the community, Niels' professional and community leadership includes involvement in many worthwhile causes including: The Hospital for Sick Children - "Circle of Care"; serving as past Chairperson of the Toronto Police 22 Division Community Police Liaison Committee, Vice President of the Humber Valley Village Ratepayers Association; past member of the Parents Advisory Council for Richview Collegiate; the Arbitration Committee at the Toronto Real Estate Board, and a Discipline Committee Member at the Real Estate Council of Ontario.
 
A recognized industry leader, he has been a guest speaker at RE/MAX “Learn from the Leaders” events and is involved in training new agents within RE/MAX. Niels attributes much of his success to the support and dedication of the Christensen Team. He has assembled a team of dedicated and professional full-time real estate agents who are able to provide clients with unparalleled real estate advice, superior client service and accurate analysis of current market trends through research and state-of-the-art technology. "Our team is committed to providing our clients with superior service, superior results and superior expertise. We accomplish this by understanding the needs and wants of our clients, applying our expertise to achieve their goals”, and, insists Niels, “rather than treating our clients the way we want to be treated, we treat our clients the way they want to be treated!”
