Residential real estate salesperson for 19 years in Central Toronto. Homes and condos sold range in price from 250,000 for perhaps a first-time buyer, up to 5M dollars for estate and carriage trade real estate. A very busy and active full-time realtor, single mom and still finding time to enjoy life and maintain important relationships with family and friends. Been a top producer for many years but I don't have an edgy full-of-myself attitude that gives so many realtors a bad impression. Success is based on hard work, perserverence, listening to my clients and understanding their needs. Repeat business and referrals are the greatest source of my client base and I am well-connected to mortgage brokers, home inspectors, contractors, real estate lawyers and other important contacts to help my clients in their housing and moving needs. I pride myself on building relationships and putting my clients' needs and comfort first. I love what I do, and I do what I love. To wake up and look forward to the challenges of each new day and deal is most exciting and rewarding. Finding the perfect fit for my clients and seeing them happy and settled in their home, as well as keeping their equity protected, is truly a great motivator and mandate in what I do.
