Personal Background
My wife Carrie and I are the proud parents of 3 great kids. My oldest is an 18 year old boy who is currently attending Queen's University. My oldest daughter is 17 years old (that's right) and is currently in grade 12 at Lakefield District Secondary School. My youngest daughter is 9 years old in grade 4 at Ridpath Public School.
I was raised in Thornhill, but I have been a cottager in the Kawarthas my entire life.
Personal Interests
I would have to say that most of my personal interests revolve around the lake. Fishing, golf, skating, spending time with friends and family, I guess living the dream really is possible.
Professional Interests
I try to stay involved as much as possible with my industry via the internet. I find that I keep in touch best by playing hockey in the winter and golf in the summer. The men's leagues that I have been in over the years have a diverse group and there is a steady flow of information covering many industries.
My good friend Ron in his usual spot.
Professional Background
In conjunction with my real estate career I also own Canadian Cottage Ltd. Specializing in landscape and property maintenance we have been servicing the Kawartha Lakes area since 1999.
Fleming College - 2007
Education
After graduating from Thornhill Secondary School in 1986 I centered my post secondary education around business, computers and sociology. I have found that this background has been a huge benefit to me and the major reason that I have been self employeed for the past 18 years.
- Seneca College - Business Administration
- Trent University - Sociology
- Toronto School of Business - Valedictorian
Specialties
Cottages
Rural Properties
The award that I am most proud of would have to be my Certified Landscape Professional designation (CLP). This extensive business course allowed me to be highly competitive in the Landscape Industry while giving me the ability to structure the business in a way that gave me time to concentrate on my Real Estate career.
How to Buy / Sell your Home
I have available excellent reference books. One is a step-by-step guide for home owners on How to Sell Your Home and the other is a step-by-step guide for home buyers on How To Buy Your Home. Just send along an email with your address and I will gladly mail one to you free of charge, alternatively feel free to drop by the office to pick one up.
Here is an excerpt from the How To Sell Your Home book.
........ the most important element in your marketing plan is starting with the "right" price. Set it too high and you'll diminish the effectiveness of your Realtor's other marketing efforts. Select too low a price and you'll either miss out on potential proceeds or cause people to wonder "what's wrong" with your property............
