How long have you been working in real estate?
We have been licensed Realtors for almost 10 years, but we have been real estate investors for 17 years. Tina and I have been together for 18 years and one thing we have always had in common is our love for real estate, and we have been involved in all aspects of the industry since that time. Tina’s father has been a Realtor for over 30 years and encouraged us to enter the sales side of the business – one of the best decisions we have ever made … aside from the time Tina said, “I do!” (Ha)
What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?
We are passionate about what we do because we love it! We don’t consider real estate to be a job, it is just something that has always been a part of our lives. Real estate is someone’s most valuable asset and we take great pride in the level of trust and confidence that our clients place with us every time they allow us to represent their best interests.
What attracted you to this business?
Both of our careers before real estate were in the communication, marketing, advertising and technology fields. We were already buying, selling and investing in properties for ourselves, and we love working with people. We also recognized areas of the industry that we felt needed improvement. So, it eventually became a natural progression to get into sales and utilize all of our skills to help our clients reach their real estate goals.
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?
We build our business based on trusted referrals. Our business model is to do such a good job for our clients that they want to tell all of their family and friends. Our clients often become our lifetime friends and acquaintances, and we want to be their trusted partner in real estate no matter what type of property they are selling or where in our great city it is located. If you look at our portfolio of sales, you will find that we have experience in all areas: from multi-million dollar estate homes to first time buyer townhomes and condominiums. We have also owned and sold multi-residential apartment buildings and commercial or industrial properties.
In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?
We believe we have the most comprehensive digital and print marketing package available in the industry. We utilize our years of corporate experience in marketing and advertising, as well as advanced technologies to expose our listings to the widest audience possible, all while studying analytics to focus our efforts on areas with the highest levels of interest. Our buyers can rest assured that we have strong negotiation, communication and customer service skills as well as up-to-date expertise in current market trends. We would love a seat at the kitchen table (or Zoom screen) to demonstrate how we can make a difference!
