Specialties
I enjoy working all sides of the real estate market, from first-time buyers, to investment properties, to condos, and since I grew up on a farm this is an area of interest, cottages and luxury homes. Real Estate is a speciality in itself and every deal is different, it creates variety in the job to have many properties to work on.
Personal Interests
I love spending time with my Grandchildren and being Nana. Of course I am in the sandwich generation and visit with my Mom in Oshawa every week. I enjoy "My time" at the step class 3 mornings a week. Do spend a lot of time it seems in the grocery store as I like to have our fridge full. Other time is spent walking our family dog "Bert" an English Springer Spaniel, who is a real character, and when time permits we walk morning and night. Personal improvement and learning new things is important to my growth, and I enjoy reading fiction books when time permits.

Education
Cambray Public School
Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute
Professional Background
After attending Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute, I worked in the Corporate world for over 25 years in the world of accounting. Worked my way from proof machine teller in the Royal Bank to Controller of a computer company. Great experience leading me to this chapter in my career of Real Estate
Professional Interests
I am and have been a member of the Aurora Leisure Complex since it opened approx 20 years ago. I faithfully attend 6 a.m. classes 3 morning a week. Not sure it has helped my body but it is good for the mind.
I just completed my second term as a Volunteer Committee Member for the Canada Day Parade Committee in Aurora. We raised funds and brought the parade back to Aurora in great style last year and we had another hit this year. Another part of this Volunteer job was planting little Canada flags on the lawns of Aurora residence. It is a very rewarding job, but also a very busy one.
Personal Background
I have lived in Aurora for close to 30years with my husband Jim (of many years) and been in real estate since 1993. I love to help Buyers find the right home and Sellers sell their existing home, to move on to the next chapter in their life. I have been very fortunate to have met and accumulated a large number of friends in the business of buying and selling. These repeat clients/friends have helped me build my business with referrals of their friends. and family. I like to be know as their Professional Real Estate agent, right up there with their Doctor, Lawyer, Dentist and Accountant.
We have two children Michael and Angela, and four grandchildren. My daughter-in-law is also a real estate agent in the Barrie area, so we have a large part of Ontario covered.
I currently have just started to write a column in the Aurora Snap paper, which I am enjoying, until it is deadline time. The column is "Merilyn's News and Views" and can be found on my Blog.
I would love to be your Professional Real Estate Agent, call me to see if I meet your needs.
