Are there naturally born real estate agents?
Naturally born are two words that are often used to describe someone that is wonderful at their craft. She is a naturally born leader; he is a naturally born athlete etc. More often than not these people make extraordinary seem ordinary. Everything seems to be effortless – problems become solutions, an impasse becomes a pass, and everyone around them feeds off of their positive energy.
I was brought up in Ottawa by two parents that were naturally born to real estate. My Mom was a real estate developer who would see opportunity where others saw pitfalls. She looked at the character of a neighborhood rather than 'judging a book by its cover'. She went on to develop award-winning projects and felt that her legacy was contributing to the revitalization of her city. My Dad founded and ran a construction company that built their business on reputation, value for money and repeat business.
It’s not surprising that I ended up in real estate and over the years I have worked hard to perfect my craft. I have gone on to be recognized and awarded the Chairman’s award for sales and service over the years. This isn’t a part time job this is all I do. Over time I have learned how to be a stellar negotiator regardless of the pressure, how to understand the nuances of the marketplace and the art of the deal. Many of the lessons that I’ve learned throughout my career have taught me how to act quickly; understand the needs of my clients and cut through the clutter to deliver the lifestyle they want. However, if I had to pick one lesson that stands above all it is the art of listening generously to the needs of all stakeholders. Only from that point of view can I help them, whether they are buyers or sellers, make one of the most important decisions of their life, one that affects both their financial and emotional wealth. The right environment, the right location and the ability to afford without fear is what enables my clients to enjoy the positive things in life – happiness, security, social network, and the well being of their family.
I hope that many of my clients would consider me a naturally born Realtor and their repeat business and referrals speak as a testimonial to their experience with me. These people are the lifeblood of my practice. If you ever have a need to buy or sell I would be honoured to listen generously and help you find the solution that is right for you. I love what I do and I would love to do it for you.
