Can you think back to when you first started your real estate career…. What attracted you to this business and how did you get started?
I loved looking at houses for sale and browsing through The Oakville Beaver’s real estate page. My now husband sold real estate while we were in University together. I was intrigued by his success and loved the idea of running my own business.
You obviously take great pride in your work. What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
I love the action. I love the fast pace and that things are always changing in this industry. Every real estate transaction is different – different people in different life stages and different circumstances, and obviously, needing different solutions to their needs. I love being the one that helps people through this buying and selling process and providing valuable guidance and insight.
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?
Oakville and Burlington. My clients are so widespread across the GTA now that I often need to specialize in multiple neighbourhoods and even cities. I make it my business to know every neighbourhood and every street.
You have been a member of the elite National Chairman’s Club with Royal LePage for many years now. In such a competitive business, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think has contributed to your success?
They trust me. They know that, first and foremost, I always have their best interests at heart. I am more interested in life-long relationships with my clients, rather than just one transaction. A client told me once that everyone needs a good doctor, a good lawyer, and a good real estate agent – someone to always take care of you.
