Sheraz Ali is a successful real estate entrepreneur in Canada. He’s the founder of Stock Sharks and the director of marketing for Canadian Islamic Wealth, the first wealth management company for Muslims in Canada. An experienced expert in the field, Ali is rated among Canada’s top 3% of realtors and the top 1% of realtors at the highly coveted Royal LePage.
His entrepreneurial influence in the real estate industry is immense and evident in the massive following he enjoys; Stock Sharks has reached over 1.2 million followers on Instagram, scaling him onto The Peak’s 2021 Emerging Leaders list.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ali grew up a true businessman, with his involvement in the business world starting in his teen years. At 16, Ali had already acquired insight into various industries, from finance to hospitality to entertainment. However, his heart heavily leaned toward the real estate industry, and that’s where he sought to specialize.
His commitment to bettering himself every day led him to read every real estate book he could get his hands on to increase his industry knowledge. Since then, he has had over a decade of real estate investing and business growth. Ali now holds a dual license in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has a massive team of contractors, marketers and assistants who lead the charge in sales, management and experience.
Today, Ali owns 15 properties with plans to increase that number to at least 100 over the next three years. He counts on his vast experience to help him maneuver in the rapidly changing real estate landscape.
Ali’s journey to success has not been easy, though. The real estate mogul has faced numerous challenges but managed to hold his focus. His most notable career setback was losing $1 million in business in his late 20s. Though it was a major blow, Ali never gave up on his dreams. His relentless passion and drive for success kept him moving despite the hardships. Ali worked extra hard and with even more dedication, resulting in a strong comeback.
He often shares his business experiences and journey to inspire and motivate others to never give up on their dreams no matter how tough the going gets. The key is to be ready for anything and learn from any failures. To Ali, it is better to fail young and more often while improving oneself for tomorrow.
Ali views the real estate industry as a competitive field that needs strategic planning for success to happen. His advice is to make the most of digital marketing strategies to build an audience and then nurture the leads. To him, data and reputation are everything, so it’s important to establish oneself as a trustworthy and reliable brand that clients can identify with.
