No two people have the same path, & no two agents are the same. I spent most of my Sundays as a child window shopping at open houses with my mom. I watched HGTV shows religiously. I was always poking my nose around trying to find out what our neighbour's home sold for. But, growing up I was shy. I thought that a “good” real estate agent needed to have a larger-than-life personality and needed to b
e a sleazy salesman. So I kept the interest as a hobby and never gave it much thought as a career path. When it came time to choose a post-secondary path, I really was not sure what or who I wanted to be. So I picked the most practical program I could think of. I studied Urban and Regional Planning & boy did I learn a lot! Cities and Regions are complex so the course load was very diverse. I studied topics like ecology, economics, land development, geography, statistics, demographics, architecture, infrastructure and so much more. At the end of my 4-year program, I was a Jill of all trades, but a master of none. I also got over my shyness. I could have pursued a Master's Degree. I could have specialized in one part of the field. But, I wanted to find a fulfilling career where I could combine all the knowledge that I gained, apply it every day and make a positive impact on people’s lives. Then it hit me – Real Estate! Purchasing real estate is usually the largest transaction of a person’s life. It requires knowledge of the surrounding area… the transit systems, the existing and planned infrastructure, the future economic and development growth, any environmental concerns and/or considerations, demographics, and so much more. I thought that maybe this knowledge base that I have developed, plus my genuine nature would be invaluable to my clients. I believed that if I was an advisor rather than a sales rep it would attract more clients and it turns out, I was right! Now as a real estate Broker, I use my character, knowledge base, research skills, and experience to help savvy young professionals get on & up the property ladder.
