As hard as it is for me to believe, this year will mark my 25th year providing real estate services. It’s been a fantastic journey and I have enjoyed every moment of it.
As a school teacher, I always had a strong interest in Real Estate. As I moved to sales with Mary Kay Cosmetics, my fervor for Real Estate grew and it was then that I decided to pursue a career in the hobby that I loved.
Since then, I have had the honour of holding esteemed titles such as; #1 Agent in Canada for Royal LePage for 12 consecutive years and #1 Agent in Toronto for the last 21 years; both of which, I am extremely proud of as it is a true reflection of recognition for hard work and dedication. Every sale still brings about the same adrenaline rush it did 25 years ago when I sold my first condo and it is this excitement that keeps me going.
All in all when it boils down to it, it’s not just the passion for my job that drives me, it’s all the experiences both good and bad and the people that I’ve had the pleasure to assist and of some of those professional relationships have evolved great friendships.
Here’s to 25 years strong…cheers!!!!
