Finding your DREAM HOME has never been this easy!

  My slogan “Selling Toronto Since 77" represents my experience as a Full-time Toronto Resale Agent.

  But that is not the whole story….please read "The Making of Your Agent"

 

Before 1977:

  By age 5, (as I recall it :) , I took a look across the St.John River from their 1000 tree Apple Farm, outside of Woodstock N.B., and said “We Gotta Get To    Ontario”.
So my family of four packed up the truck, car and Sally the dog (the cattle traveled by train) and headed to a newly purchased farm just outside of Lindsay, Ontario.

   Naturally, being the only Son, I quickly grew into Family Farming Business with my Father and Grandfather as it expanded from mixed livestock, grain and large scale potato growing into producing 136,000 broiler chickens annually.   Next, a Farm Equipment Dealership was added.                                                    My Mother, our Admin. and Bookkeeper made sure I learned the importance of these functions.                                                                                                       So this is pretty much the story of my Childhood -  Hard Work and learning all facets of running Businesses.

    When I turned 16 (and had my driver's license), the most important and impactful thing occured.  My father (Frank) announced  “You and I are going to buy a lot, build a house and sell it.  It is time you learned about property ! ”                                                                                                                                           Soon after, we were shopping with a Realtor, to purchase a building lot overlooking Sturgeon Lake and I was learning the basics of plans, permits, basement installation, home building, and Home Selling thru a Realtor.

 By the time I was 18 - I was feeling the draw of Toronto !   So I was happily attending Ryerson Business School in Toronto, when my Father announced -  “You and I are going to buy this waterfront farm on Sturgeon Lake and develop a subdivision !”   ( I was like - "WHAAAAAT" ???  :)                                           Soon, while going to Ryerson, I was driving to Lindsay several times a week since  “Lakeside Village”, a 34 Home, Estate Subdivision was under way.

Now That Was A Real Education !  This project took many Years of:  local and provincial government approvals; assembling investors and financing; countless engineering and builder meetings.   And we were Learning On The Fly !  (talk about a Part-time Job :)
However, it Was Very Cool to be able to do school assignments on my own project.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         By age 21,  our highly regarded "Lakeside Village" Subdivision was completed and Sold Out - and I proceeded with my Plan to become a Toronto Realtor.

By age 23,  I had next completed a new 2 Year, full time Seneca College Diploma Course in Toronto, that seemed like it was created - Just For Me !                   It was called “Real Property and Appraisal” and incorporated the in-depth Appraisal 1 & 2 (for those wishing to become a professional Appraiser), Real Estate Law, Property Management , Construction Management, Construction Estimating, Developing, Accounting, Marketing and Promotion, Government Property Regulations and The Planning Act.

This was the extent of my Preparation and Experience to be ready to help people with their most important Buying and Selling decisions - BEFORE becoming a Professional Toronto Real Estate Broker in 1977.
