Q & A
1. What differentiates you from the 11,000 licensed real estate agents in the Greater Vancouver area? The little things; I pride myself on personal, detailed-orientated service to clients, always going a step beyond.
2. What was your favorite success story? A young family was surprised with a new addition to their family and they were in immediate need of finding a bigger home. They were nervous and consumed with the changes going on with their life. It was a gratifying experience to guide them through the process of purchasing the home in which they would raise their new family.
3. Who has been your most interesting client? Helping a gentleman from Korea relocate to Vancouver. He did not speak English well. It was interesting to learn more about other cultures and customs and to communicate with someone who doesn’t speak the same language.
4. What inspired you to be a Realtor? My experience as a first-time homebuyer was nerve racking and I had a lot of questions and concerns. I didn’t feel like I was given the time and attention that I needed to feel comfortable with the process. I was young and felt undervalued as a client. I wanted to be a realtor that made the experience fun and exciting for that first time client and would deliver the same service weither they were purchasing a studio apartment or a 5 bedroom home.
