Chatting With Georgia
Why did you get into real estate and what did you do in your pre-real estate life?
I decided to get into real estate because it was something I
was always really interested in, and I enjoy helping and guiding people. I
previously worked in sales where client connection and interaction
was extremely important, and I felt real estate would be a good extension of
that.
What do you love most above what you do? What is the most rewarding thing about it? Etc.
I love that I get to help people with one of the biggest,
and most important things they will do in life – whether it is buying or
selling. It’s a huge financial decision and building trust and relationships
with people who chose to have me assist them, is the most rewarding part of this.
What is the best advice someone gave you that you can share with other agents?
Best advice someone has given me, was to get out of my own
head. To stop doubting myself and remember that I know my stuff and I care
about people, and that alone will set me apart from the rest.
Your best advice for a Toronto home buyer? OR Seller? OR both?
My best advice for a Toronto home buyer or seller is to
interview multiple agents before deciding who to work with. It's important to
not only pick someone that knows their stuff, but also someone you connect with,
and that you feel cares about you and will do their best for you. Just because
someone says they are a top agent, doesn't mean they are the best for the job.
Can you recall one of your proudest/most memorable moments as an agent?
My proudest moment was pitching to a potential client and
then getting the call that they had decided to go with my team. The other
competing agent told them they would regret their decision, and that not all
agents are the same. We sold the house over asking on offer night, in a
declining market where similar homes were sitting for weeks, being terminated
and re-listed. It felt good to know that even when others tried to cast doubt
on us, we were able to prove that its true… not all agents are the same.
Your favorite neighbourhood/s in the city and why?
Favourite neighbourhood is East York! Born and raised in
East York and where I chose to buy my first home and live. I'm a proud East
Yorker, and I love my community.
Why did you choose Blue Door and how does BDR support your business?
I
chose Blue Door because of the amount of support they offer agents. Not only do
they help you learn and continue to grow through meetings and workshops, but
they also invest a lot in promoting you, your individual brand, and your
listings. They use the latest technology to get your listings the most exposure
and help achieve top results for your clients.
What do you think sets this brokerage apart and how does that help your clients?
What
sets Blue Door apart is the boutique vibe of the brokerage. Everyone is
friendly and supportive, and they use their resources and connections to help
one another. When everyone is on the same team, it ensures we lift one another
up and get top results not only for ourselves, but for our clients.
