I entered the real estate industry in 1994, after a successful and varied career in the automobile industry in both the U.K and Canada. After serving a 5 year apprenticeship in automobile mechanics and emigrating here in 1967, I decided I did not want to “swing the wrenches” any longer, and started learning all I could about, and studying automobile dealership management. My first position as a service advisor at the largest General Motors dealership in Toronto led me to becoming a business partner in a Chevrolet, Oldsmobile dealership in Newmarket Ontario. From there I was given the opportunity to accept senior field management positions with some of the largest vehicle manufacturers in North America. Being a part of these international companies gave me the opportunity to visit some of their other manufacturing facilities around the world. But, perhaps the biggest benefit for me was the chance to learn customer and client handling techniques from some of the best training session leaders in the world. These sessions helped me to create my own client handling programs and techniques, while helping me better appreciate all the issues and see the “big picture”  whenever I am working with my Buyer or Seller clients.

I am dedicated to my clients and always want to ensure all their needs and wants are being met, and continue to be met before, during and after the real estate transaction has been completed. This dedication to my clients’ wellbeing and satisfaction has resulted in 70% of my new business being created by repeat business or referrals from past clients and and business colleagues.

I am also a strong believer that everyone should “give something back” to the community where they live and support their chosen profession through training and individual support.

Here is a small sampling of some of my past community activities that I believe indicate my dedication to helping others both inside and outside real estate;
