One summer, I stopped safely treading water and actually jumped right into the deep end of the pool and got my hair wet. Life hasn’t been the same since. I became licensed in 2002 after having worked in various support roles in Real Estate in York Region since 1997. The more I learned about the business the more I knew that I was perfectly suited to a career in real estate because it allows me to use so many different sets of skills. It is a different job every day.
There are those wonderful moments when everything comes together and the client is thrilled with the outcome – very rewarding. I also enjoy the flexibility of having a career where constantly evolving technology allows me some freedom and occasionally I can wrap up a deal from a ski hill in Barrie, a beach in Toronto or on Lake Simcoe or during a pit stop on a motorcycle trip around Simcoe or York Regions. And having a fabulous assistant certainly helps!
I can’t speak for my competition. I can only talk about what I do and why I do it, and people can draw their own conclusions about whether it separates me to the point that I become their Realtor of choice.
First, in my business the buck stops with me. Period. A mistake is never the support staff’s fault, or a computer glitch, or whatever. If something happens that needs to be made right it is up to me to get it done.
Second, I love what I do – it’s empowering to enable people realize their dreams of home ownership.
Third, what you see is what you get. I have no airs, no “image” to protect. I’m a middle aged professional who finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up at the age of 38, who is also a wife and mother, who has good days and bad.
It is all about building relationships, not completing transactions.
Listing clients can expect superior, creative marketing and can rest easy knowing that a powerful, persuasive negotiator will always have their best interests as the priority.
First time home buyers can expect to have their hands held throughout the process: from mortgage pre-qualification, distinguishing needs from wants, finding the perfect place, negotiating a deal and right through to the day you get the keys!
Full service is what you expect - full service is what you get!
Put the power of TNT to work for you!
