Quick Overview

Truman Chen, President of Bochen Real Estate, shares his journey from studying engineering and finance, working at Big 4 firms, to starting his own real estate business, emphasizing the importance of integrity and continuous learning despite market downturns and immigration hurdles.

Key Points: Truman Chen graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering and then pursued a Master's in Finance (Rotman School of Management) after initially not planning to move to Canada. He worked for Big 4 firms and later in finance/IT consulting, where he observed a difference in work ethic and approach between North American and Chinese immigrants. He started his real estate career by helping his wife, who was working in the furniture industry, leading him to learn about the industry and eventually start Bochen Real Estate. Chen notes that the real estate market downturns in 2008/2009 and later were challenging, but his focus on integrity and helping clients (even if it meant fewer immediate sales) was key. He highlights the importance of continuous learning, citing how he self-studied finance certifications like CFA and focused on problem-solving skills learned in engineering.
