How long have you been working in real estate?
30 + years in the business… I will leave it at that!
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
I love helping people! I love houses, and design and creativity, but ultimately the “people part” of the business is my passion. There are amazing people in this world, and I do my best to find them every day! I have developed relationships over 30 years that are so dear and close to me. I have been so fortunate to not only sell houses to friends, but I have sold so many houses to clients, who have become friends.
What attracted you to this business?
My father is a real estate lawyer and he introduced me to real estate opportunities at a young age. I remember helping him close deals during the summer months of high school by going to the Registry Office at that time, when things had to be registered by paper. Of course, our world has changed so much and it’s only electronic now.
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 am born and raised in Hamilton, went to the original Bishop Ryan High School, and then McMaster. I work all the corners of the Greater Hamilton area. The word “specialize” to me seems very limiting. I love to learn as much about all facets and segments of the market as I can. If a long-time residential client of mine wants an investment property, or needs a commercial property for their business, I want to be able to service all of that with confidence.
In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
How do we stand out, what are our secrets to success, how do we make a difference…? You will just have to interview us to sell your house to figure all of that out!
