Tell us a bit about your life before you started your real estate career.
My early life through high school and university consisted of travelling the world and competing for Canada in the national and international stage. I was on the Canadian National Team as an Olympic wrestler, and competed in Pan American Games, Mexico, the world championships, Bulgaria, and the Summer Olympics, Montreal.
How long have you been working in real estate and how did you get started?
I am entering my 24th year as a licensed real estate agent, and have been in real estate most of my adult life after graduating. I was always interested in real estate and in my time off I would buy properties, do renovations, rent them or flip them.
What is it that you love about this career and that makes you passionate about what you do?
What I love about my career is the thrill and excitement my clients get when they buy or sell their home. I am overcome with joy and a sense of accomplishment to see my client’s dreams come true.
Is there a particular area you specialize in, either in terms of neighbourhoods, or types of homes, or perhaps the type of clients you like to work with?
I work with a wide range of clients from the first-time buyers, to the move up buyers, to the high-end buyers. People are People and my job is actually all about working with people.
In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
People often ask me what I do to get business? My answer is, “I service the hell out of them”. If you do a great job, people will always come back to you and send you referrals. I believe that giving the best quality professional expert service is the key to any business.
