It took me three career changes to find the profession that I love: being a trusted advisor in real estate.
My first job after graduating from the University of Western, Ontario with Honours In Business Administration (H.B.A) was working for Pepsi Restaurants where I started as an assistant manager at Taco Bell and worked my way up to managing three restaurants. I was then recruited by Famous Players movie theatres to help open forty new theatres across the country as they expanded their food service offerings in their new state of the art theatres.
While I had good career success at both Pepsi Restaurants and Famous Players, I was looking for a career that brought more fulfillment than trying to sell as many tacos, popcorn and pizzas as I could.
My first child was also about to be born and I thought that it was “now or never” to find a more fulfilling and entrepreneurial career as the safety of steady paychecks from a corporate job may end up being too comfortable to leave once I became a dad.
I chose a career as a trusted advisor in real estate. I have now been a real estate agent for 18 years and have loved helping people find homes that they love living in while also helping them with their largest investment. I feel that I have the most important job in the world. The family home is the backbone of society and seeing my clients happy in their home is very gratifying. Also, having my clients trust in me with helping maximize their largest asset is very rewarding..
I am very grateful to be a trusted advisor in real estate. I have met so many wonderful people through real estate who have now become friends. It is so fulfilling to often receive my clients testimonials highlighting the high level of competence that they feel I have, the honesty that I give my clients and how they feel safe with me in working in their best interests.
