Pat Higgins REALTOR®

Corner Brook, Pasadena, The Humber Valley, Deer Lake, and Homes on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula

Welcome!!! I enjoy working with buyers and sellers in Western Newfoundland because I love living and working here. One of my favourite things to do is step through the door of a home for the very first time. Your home is a combination of everything that represents you and your family and I am always excited about the process of matching what I find to the dreams and needs of home buyers. I will listen to what you want and will be patient while we work towards realizing your goals.

Please take some time to review my site to learn more about me and the communities I serve.

Specialties

• Managing difficult scenarios in real estate requires attention to detail, patience, and strong communication skills.  I enjoy the challenge, and rewards, of putting my skills to work for you.

• With first hand experience living across Canada and into the North, I can help guide you through the entire process of buying, selling, and moving your family from one part of the country to the next.

Community Involvement

At the end of June 2012 I took the reigns as President of The Rotary Club of Corner Brook.  Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.  As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.  The Rotary Foundation helps Rotarians put Service Above Self worldwide.  The Foundation's main program is to eradicate polio.  Anyone can help advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty by contributing to The Rotary Foundation.

Locally The Rotary Club of Corner Brook supports the local Arts through the Rotary Music Festival, by providing financial assistance to groups such as the Gros Morne Summer Music Festival, and has provided the genesis for The Corner Brook Arts Centre currently in development.  The club sponsors The Sea Cadets,  has its own BackPack for Kids and Rotary Read-Along programs, assists in the local Ronald MacDonald House, Kids Eat Smart, Meals on Wheels and Christmas Hamper programs, provides a forum for local initiatives to gain exposure and encourages members to challenge themselves.

In June 2012 I also assumed a position on Theatre Newfoundland & Labrador's Board of Directors.  I look forward to the new challenges and experiences within the theatre community through 2013.

Personal Interests

When I am not working with local Rotarian's on any number of local and international projects I like to sneak in a little golf or spend some quality time fighting father time at the gym.  As I get older I also appreciate a good book.
