Adrian’s journey into real estate was fueled by a genuine passion that has developed over the past 15 years. His fascination began after work hours, when he would unwind by watching HGTV shows and series like Million Dollar Listing New York. He was captivated by realtors such as Fredrik Eklund, Ryan Serhant, and Luis Ortiz, whose drive, success, and on-screen presence inspired him to pursue a similar path. That moment marked the true start of his adventure in the industry.

What Adrian loves most about his work is helping people. He believes there’s nothing more exciting than witnessing someone become a homeowner—a milestone that signifies a major achievement in life. Being part of his clients’ journey to homeownership is an experience that words can scarcely describe. The joy and gratitude on their faces serve as his greatest motivators, fueling his passion and dedication.

A typical day for Adrian begins with analyzing the market—reviewing recent sales, tracking price trends, and staying informed about overall market conditions. He also keeps a close eye on real estate news that could impact his clients’ decisions. Throughout the day, he responds to messages from current clients, searches for new listings that match their needs, and maintains regular communication with his network. He understands that some clients take months or even years before making a move, so consistent follow-up is key. Additionally, he evaluates his active leads, reviews advertising performance, and stays active on social media by engaging with followers and connecting with potential new clients.

One of the main challenges Adrian faces today is the transition from a seller’s market to a more balanced, or even buyer’s, market. Homes are lingering longer on the market, inventory is increasing, and prices are beginning to come down in response to the higher supply. Navigating this shift requires adaptability and a thorough understanding of current trends to best serve his clients.

To stay current on Calgary’s real estate scene, Adrian primarily relies on the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), which provides regular updates and detailed statistics. He also follows government newsletters that offer insights into housing sales, population movements, and interprovincial migration patterns, ensuring he remains well-informed about local developments.

Outside of his professional life, Adrian is passionate about staying active and enjoying the outdoors. He loves playing sports, reading, spending quality time with friends and family, and doing fun activities with his kids. Recently, he joined a boxing group, which has been a great way to stay fit and connect with others on a more personal level.

His experience with eXp Realty has been a game-changer. Initially, he considered joining eXp right after obtaining his license, but he decided to gain experience with traditional brokerages first. Over time, he found the support and resources he needed and, in 2025, made the move to eXp Realty. The training, tools, and team support have been instrumental in his growth, making him feel fully equipped to serve his clients effectively and confidently.

For those considering buying or selling in Calgary, Adrian emphasizes the importance of choosing a realtor who genuinely understands your needs. Open communication, transparency, and up-to-date market knowledge are essential for a smooth and successful transaction. Building a strong relationship with your agent can significantly enhance your experience.

Adrian proudly embraces his Romanian heritage. His move to Calgary was inspired during university, after a classmate shared stories of life in Canada—fishing, camping, hiking, and playing soccer. At the time, life in Romania was demanding and challenging, leaving little room for leisure. This conversation sparked his curiosity, and over the years, he learned more about Canada’s opportunities. In 2008, he made the life-changing decision to relocate here, seeking a better quality of life and new possibilities.

What sets Adrian apart as a relatively new realtor is his passion, drive, and extensive personal experience living and working in Calgary’s real estate scene. His 15 years of buying and selling in the area have provided him with valuable lessons, which he eagerly shares with clients. His dedication to helping others find their perfect home or investment property makes him a trusted resource in the community.

During the summer, Adrian particularly enjoys working with clients. The warmer weather creates an ideal environment for house hunting, while properties look their best with lush lawns and vibrant flowers. Summer also offers a lively, refreshing atmosphere that makes the entire experience more enjoyable and exciting.

Although busy supporting clients, Adrian also values giving back to the community. He often collaborates with Amanda Hamilton, supporting local events and initiatives. Currently, he’s planning an event for current and prospective clients—an excellent opportunity for people to meet him and learn more about his services. While still in the planning stages, Adrian is excited about this project and looks forward to involving others when the time is right.

Looking ahead, Adrian’s main goal is to help as many people as possible achieve their real estate dreams. Whether it's finding a perfect home, making smart investments, or selling confidently, he’s passionate about making a positive difference. He invites friends, family, and colleagues to support his efforts by spreading the word—letting others know he’s here to guide and assist them with their real estate

In summary, Adrian’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and community commitment. His dedication to his clients, combined with his personal experience and genuine care, makes him a trusted and valued realtor in Calgary. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply seeking advice, Adrian is ready to help turn your real estate goals into reality.
