How long have you been working in real estate?
Since the early 2000’s.
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
3 things come to mind. Firstly, in real estate I feel that you learn more about people, communities, and life than almost any other profession out there. Secondly, I love being a part of the journey. From first time Buyers to Sellers moving into retirement and all of those steps in-between. Lastly, feeling a sense of accomplishment when I am up against a deadline and we only have one shot to get it right, and it turns out better than we could have imagined, that’s my favourite! I do it for the rush!
What attracted you to this business?
Life rarely goes as planned, sometimes it turns out even better! I was in my mid 20’s, and took an administrative position with a Broker to pass time while waiting on some other entrepreneurial business ventures to come together. I told him during the job interview that I would be there for 6 months, maybe 1-year max. Needless to say, I never left! Each of us have that one thing we are really good at, and I believe I accidentally stumbled upon my craft. Soon after becoming licensed, I drifted into investing, constructing, renovating, etc and have been gaining experience in all the different dimensions of real estate ever since.
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?
Neighbourhoods – Our company has 18 offices across Southern Ontario. This coverage area offers a level of convenience that clients really appreciate.
Type – commercial, residential, farms, condos, vacant lots – I am familiar with it all. And am always investing in learning more about more.
Clients – I appreciate Every. Single. Bit. of business that I receive. Even the ‘hard’ clients make my day. After peeling back the layers, they’re usually my favourites!
In such a competitive market, with so many REALTORS® , what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
I am able to offer clients years of knowledge, skills, techniques, experience and connections that they can leverage. We have proven systems in place, and I ALWAYS answer my phone. These things all make a huge difference in this highly competitive real estate market.
