How long have you been working in real estate and what attracted you to this business?
I have worked in and around Real Estate for most of my adult life. I worked for real estate lawyers, accountants who were real estate investors, I spent 13 years negotiating union contracts and writing contract language, and before becoming licensed I worked in administration for a couple of local brokerages. I love houses. I love negotiations. I love framing contracts. I love helping families.
Can you tell us a bit more about Davenport Realty?
Davenport is a new brokerage by name but is backed by many, many, years of experience in our four locations. The founders have all come from different brokerages and we feel that we have brought the best features of those brokerages to build Davenport. Features like training, collaboration, and years of experience.
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
I enjoy walking clients through the process, giving them tips and tricks to make their homes more saleable, and helping them make their offers to purchase more acceptable, especially in these difficult times.
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 enjoy working with the average family. People looking to establish their families or downsizing to provide for their retirement. That’s why, when I was planning to open our Davenport Realty office, I chose a location right smack in the middle of the neighbourhoods where I grew up, where I met my husband and where I raised my family.
In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
I know the neighbourhoods I choose to work in, the value of the homes, the target buyer, I am an excellent negotiator and I care. That is why so many of my clients come back time after time.
