Real estate is so much more than opening doors and writing offers. There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes, along with plenty of little things about us that you may not know!
1. Did you know that many move-in ready homes in good locations are still receiving multiple offers?
While the market may feel a little more balanced than it did a few years ago, that doesn’t mean every home is sitting around waiting for a buyer. Well-priced, move-in ready homes in desirable locations can still generate a lot of interest — and in some cases, multiple offers. The key is that buyers are being much more selective. Homes that check the right boxes, are priced appropriately, and don’t require a long list of updates tend to stand out. It’s a great reminder that even in a more balanced market, pricing, presentation and preparation still matter!
2. Did you know that Shannon’s favourite food is French’s mustard?
Okay, this one has absolutely nothing to do with real estate… but we thought you should know! Shannon is a BIG fan of French’s mustard. We’re talking the classic yellow kind — no fancy substitutions required. It’s one of those random little facts that you might not expect to learn from your real estate team, but now you know!
3. Did you know Brittany was a goal coach for lululemon and helped operate an oil consulting company before becoming a REALTOR®?
Brittany’s career path to real estate has been anything but traditional! Before becoming a REALTOR®, she worked as a goal coach with lululemon, where she helped people set meaningful goals, create a plan and stay accountable along the way. Goal setting and personal growth have long been an important part of lululemon’s culture, so it’s no surprise that those skills have followed Brittany into her real estate career.
She also spent time helping operate an oil consulting company, gaining experience on the business and operations side of things. From coaching people through their goals to navigating the moving pieces of a business, Brittany’s past experiences have given her a pretty unique toolkit. Today, she gets to bring all of those skills together to help clients navigate one of their biggest goals of all — buying or selling a home!
