You have been working in real estate in Oakville for many years now. What attracted you to this business in the first place and how did you get started?
I have always enjoyed real estate, but more importantly I knew I wanted to work with people. After completing university, I worked briefly in accounting and knew it wasn’t for me. Ironically, I had met Don Goodale, through his daughter, while at university and we hit it off right away. I ended up contacting him when I was looking for a change and the rest is history.
Can you tell us a bit more about The Goodale Miller Team?
We have 14 full time licensed agents with a full admin and marketing team. We focus on a full-service experience for our clients and take marketing their properties very seriously. We still believe in print marketing while also focusing on online marketing and social media. We add value to our clients through our market intelligence – we have a vast amount of experience throughout our sales team and we are a true team in every sense of the word and work together to provide the best outcomes for our clients.
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
I am lucky to call most of my client’s friends. Developing a friendship with someone while at the same time working towards connecting the dots to make their real estate goals a reality is what I love most about my work. It’s wonderful to work with a family over time, watching them grow, and assisting with their real estate needs throughout all chapters of their lives.
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?
Most of my business has been in the southern corridor of Oakville, helping clients find sound investments in desirable locations. The beauty of our team is the ability to lean on other team members should I have a client looking to purchase in an area I don’t specialize in. I get to maintain that relationship while helping the client achieve their goals.
The Goodale Miller Team has been the Number 1 team in Canada for Century 21 for 17 years in a row and sometimes the Number 1 team in the world! In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
I believe what sets us apart is the honest and knowledgeable advice that we provide our clients. We treat each client independent of one another, focusing solely on the goals of that client. In a highly competitive market, you are only as successful as those around you. From my colleagues on the team, to our marketing partners, we all share the same goals and objectives to provide a full-service experience with expert advice to those that trust us with one of their most valuable assets.
