ABOUT US
Our Story
Whether it’s his work ethic or his supernatural energy, it’s impossible not to be inspired by Chirag’s genuine interest and proven ability to help every person succeed.
That’s why Chirag Shah Coaching doesn’t rely on boilerplate tasks and old-school accountability tactics. Instead, Chirag and his team give you the proven, step-by-step systems and processes that help you build a robust and transformative roadmap for your business so you can have the business and life you deserve.
If you ask Chirag’s clients what makes him different, it’s simple: Chirag shows you how to succeed in the context of your specific business. In fact, Chirag’s favorite word is HOW.
How can we make it better? More systematic? Predictable? Effective? Empathetic? Kind? How can we make what we know work for YOU?
Chirag earned his stripes first as an agent, then as an independent broker, then as Compass’s director of coaching and training. He spent more than 5,000 hours training agents to leverage Compass’s tools. Today, Chirag only works with Compass agents as one of the company’s preferred coaches.
For Chirag, the most important thing about his career is the relationships he’s built with agents across the county. “Their success is my success,” says Chirag. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
