How long have you been working in real estate?
I am currently working in my 40th year as a Realtor, all with the same company (Royal LePage). It may sound like a long time, but I still approach the business with as much energy and drive as I did on day one.
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
Every day is different, bringing new clients, new situations, and new challenges. Finding people their perfect home and helping them through the transaction is really satisfying.
What attracted you to this business?
I really enjoyed architectural drafting in school, and houses have always interested me.
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?
After decades of helping people with their real estate needs, we most often deal with repeat clients, because they trust us based on experience and they refer family and friends to us. I strive to provide all clients, no matter the price point or the type of property, with the best exposure, information, and level of service.
In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
Experience, professionalism and dedication. My philosophy has never changed – do what is right and provide value to the people you work with. I believe trust, integrity and transparency are of the utmost importance in this business. I use my experience and negotiating skills to do my best to ensure the process of buying or selling is as smooth and stress free as possible. In 2019, I was honoured to be chosen as one of only 36 Royal LePage realtors in the country to be inducted in to the Royal LePage Hall of Fame in recognition of my service to the profession and our community.
