Why did you get into real estate?
I've always loved looking at homes and working with people. Working in real estate combines these two worlds into something fun and rewarding!
What did you do before becoming an agent?
Before becoming an agent, I went to university to study business with a focus on marketing. After school, I became the marketing manager for Urban Upgrade. That role was a great learning experience and the perfect transition into sales.
What is your focus when working with clients?
Don't just provide advice; Listen and understand the problem. "How can I help?" is always at the forefront. Advising on real estate is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Everyone has different goals, and we need to understand that as professionals.
What do you love most about working in real estate?
There is nothing more rewarding than a smile and a happy customer! Realizing our clients' goals and doing so as a team is the best feeling in the world.
What’s it like being on the Urban Upgrade & NewInfills team?
We have a lot of fun and a very positive culture where we support one another. We don't just work together; we share and grow as a group. There's a level of accountability to each other, which is vital for any successful team.
What’s your #1 tip for a successful sale?
Communication is the key to a successful sale. Whether things are going well or there are bumps along the way, it is important to keep everyone on the same page.
What’s your #1 tip for finding the perfect home?
Be patient and ask yourself questions! Analyze what you liked and didn't like after each viewing. This way, you can steer in the optimal direction and avoid the things that won't work for you. Knowing what you don't want is a step in the right direction. Eventually, you'll have enough perspective to make an informed decision.
