44/ JULY 2019 THE RIDER REAL ESTATE:


Reprinted from The Rider August 2017 Issue It seems that at least once a week


I am asked about how to become a real estate salesperson and why did I get into the real estate business. So I decided to write a column about my reasons and why real estate and homes have always been my passion. Simple start..my family never


owned a home. We lived in the big city of Toronto in rental accommoda- tion and my parents separated after four children when my youngest sister was nine months old. My mom be- came a single mom. A tough life and

with little time or money for some of the niceties that most of my class- mates had. My fathers family were dairy


farmers and still owned their big farm in Whitevale near Pickering, Ontario where we spent most Sundays and a lot of the summers while I was very young. It must have set country living in my soul because it's the lifestyle I have always been drawn to and where I live now having accomplished my dream of owning my own farm. While living with my mother in


Toronto we walked to school through lovely neighbourhoods where we saw


beautiful lawns, well kept homes and I often imagined what it would be like to love in such places with a dad at home and a regular family. As I grew older I would spend


evenings driving around with my first boyfriend looking into the windows of these same homes and seeing the people living there enjoying family time and we would ooh and ah about their fine furniture and decorating. ( a little bizarre for teenagers .. I know.) I did very well in school always


got good grades and the teachers who nurtured me and supported me in my class work asked me what I wanted to

do once I finished school. They noticed my interest in homes and two of them sug- gested I consider the real estate business as a career. I left home at sixteen, moved to Brant-


ford Ontario , took a night time job and en- rolled in the real estate courses at Mohawk College. I LOVED it! When I joined the Brantford Regional


Real Estate Association I was the youngest real estate agent in our city and when I completed the Brokers courses several years later I was the youngest Broker. I soon became successful because I was en- thralled with the homes, the people and the quick and exciting work environment. As a young woman I was a bit of a unique fixture as most of my peers were older men who frowned on me , as one put it, not being home with my kids and husband. In those first years I had neither. And soon was out selling most of my competitors and peers. Life carried on and soon I was married


to a local Brantford boy and he along with 0ur three children grew to adapt to my busy lifestyle and long hours. But my roots and my beginnings


stayed with me and I had two focuses. One , to own my own piece of heaven in the country and have horses and dogs, the other to make sure my children always had a home of their own. A sanctuary. A place to take refuse from the world. I helped my oldest daughter at eight-


een to buy her first home. A duplex where the income from the one apartment was enough to carry the mortgage and the other income used to pay down the principle on the mortgage. She suck with that plan for several years and now at 34 yrs old has a nice home that is fully paid for. She will never have to worry , as I did, about not having a safe place or a roof over her head. My two other children both bought


homes three years ago and rented them while they were in school. Now that my son has graduated he has sold his first home and just recently accepted a job here in Brant- ford ( yay!) and is in the midst of closing on his second home which is just around the corner from his work in a pleasant friendly neighbourhood. He too has a roof over his head.


My youngest has also just started the


process of selling her first home and buying a second property. She will be attending university again next year to do a second Masters program but once she is done she will also have a place to call home, a sanc- tuary and roots. No Matter what happens to them in

cle now because I live on my home farm, with my horses, my German Shepherd dogs, fruit trees and a big old barn. At the end of a long day when I've found the per- fect home for some young family or sold a home for a couple who are moving forward with their lives, and I stand out in the corn field as dusk gathers and hear the Canadian geese honk as they fly overhead , I remem- ber my roots and my dreams and feel ful- filled.
