It was in 2008 when my parents bought their first home in Canada. It was listed as “Exclusive”. The home was perfect for their
needs and the seller’s agent told us we could not involve another agent. He told us he would represent them as well. Being first time home buyer and not knowing any better my parents assumed no risk and went on to make a few verbal offers. The seller refused all of them until they were ready to put in the exact offer the home was listed at.
I’m pretty sure my parents ended up overpaying for that house by about $30K-$40K. I knew what happened was not fair and that could not be the only way to handle this transaction.
I was overprotective and wanted to be more vocal. My parent’s home was the first big decision they had made after coming to Canada. They were not in their prime and were still adjusting to moving to a new country in their fifties. Thinking it was hard for them would be a big understatement.
I also learned that the right agent could make all the difference. When my sister was buying a condo in Downtown Toronto, she hired a great agent. The agent ensured that my sister was well-educated on the complete buying process. She understood her criteria, must haves, and must not have’s. The Realtor also recommended that she get pre-approval right away. She even explained the closing costs. She got my sister an amazing condo at the best price possible.
When I decided to buy my first home I used the same agent as my sister.
I asked a lot of questions and felt confident and empowered, not only with the information but also for my agent’s support. I knew she wouldn’t let me make a wrong choice.
One day I asked her, “what makes a good agent?”, “It’s caring about your clients. It’s advocating for them when they can’t advocate for themselves. It’s being their second and third set of eyes. You have what it takes to do this, and with your Finance background, you’d be good at it. You not only have an eye for detail but you truly care which is the most critical thing in this career.”
That thought stuck in my head. To the point that I ended up getting my license. Because she’s right – real estate isn’t about a house. It’s about helping people make choices that move them forward. That’s what a great agent does. We’re equal parts problem solvers and therapists.
I took the plunge a couple of years ago to get my real estate license and haven’t looked back. I love every minute of it.
Guiding people in their real estate decisions is a privilege that they give me every day. My clients know that I have been where they are today. They know that I have my heart and soul in helping them and will hold their hand through the entire process.
When I get to help a family like mine, which is finally getting to build a home in Canada after immigrating, that’s a special reward. And that’s why this is personal for me – your home sets the tone for your entire life and relationships. You work hard and your family deserves a space to thrive and create good memories for years to come.
