Real Estate Is My Passion
As a young teenager, I traveled with my Dad, who was a professional comedian. Watching him up on stage captivate crowds is where I learnt the art of the power of influence, confidence, and, of course, humor. He always had the audience laughing. My Dad definitely handed down those traits to me… and I have to admit his colourful language sometimes. Having a laugh is one of the best antidepressants and a tonic for the soul… It's medicine.
This is where I quickly learned my strengths. Working with people, building relationships through humour and knowledge, strong communication skills.
I had the knack of making people feel at ease with a blend of cheekiness, a few jokes, and most importantly genuine authenticity.
Fast forward to Florida- 19 glorious years in Florida…where I now have skin like an alligator…I Loved the sun, loved the heat everything, and else Florida had to offer. My career path was diverse - I went from bartending (Where I could have been a therapist, just minus the couch) to pharmaceutical sales and finally to personal training. Bartending made me a great listener and taught me to spot a drunk from a mile away. Pharma sales gave me the communication and negotiation skills, but also confirmed to me that medical staff are never immune to the charm of some free doughnuts. All but while meeting all different types of people from all walks of life, offered unique opportunities and yes…the money was great too. These jobs were stepping stones to my next chapter.
Personal training was where I truly thrived. Helping people push their limits, both physically and mentally, was my calling. Breaking metal barriers proved to be much harder than the physical ones. Guiding my clients from the start of their journey to the finish, watching someone go from dream to reality, changing mindsets from “can I” to “I can”. Now that’s my kind of success story.
Not bored yet, right? Because there's more...
Now I find myself in Canada… Like what the heck! How many passports does one need!!!
After meeting my Canadian Hubby, we decided to move to Milton On in 2006.…and a bonus, you have fish and chips up here! This is where my Real estate story starts. I wanted to do something completely different and get out of the fitness world. A new life was starting, so naturally a new career followed. I took all I had learned from all my life and work experiences, mixed it in a big bowl and came up with Realtor… oh boy!
After researching what it takes to become a realtor, I thought I had it covered and figured I had what it takes… oh boy little did I know. After 15 years of doing this …I’m still learning something new every day! And here's a little bit of juice…I was selected to be the host of HGTV’s hit show Love It or List It Vacation Homes. Yes, yes, yes I've been on the big screen kind of…but don’t let that fool you; I'm as down to earth as they come.
So yes I bring to the table stellar communication, negotiation skills, blah blah blah (here's where you insert usual realtor shit with the picture of the token Rolex and Starbucks), and great marketing…but I soon learned it's a lot more than that!
For me, this is what being a Good Real Estate agent is… Very much like my personal training clients, it's taking that desired end goal of making themselves better and achieving it, taking that picture-perfect scenario and getting there.
The transaction of real estate isn’t rocket science, don’t get me wrong you have to know your stuff and know it well, and let's be honest, if you don't know your “stuff” you shouldn’t be a Realtor. But for me, it's also having that working relationship with the people you are working with; where they know you have their back throughout the process is key. Protection, shared knowledge, I advise, you decide. You are always in the driver's seat. And having that agent that actually rolls their sleeves up and gets in the trenches with you.
When we work together… We are a unit, we are a team, we are unstoppable together, and there's nothing we can’t do. I can’t tell you what you WANT to hear, I will tell you what you NEED to hear. I listen, I plan, I help. I get you there!
My heart's drive is all about making a difference where it counts: helping folks when they're in a bind. There's nothing I want more than to see my mom finally kick back and enjoy her well-deserved retirement. I'm fuelled by the dream of supporting those less fortunate than me, giving them a hand when they need it most. And oh, the thought of a dog sanctuary…100’s of dogs, a place where every bark is met with love - that's my kind of heaven. And lastly, it’s about working towards that perfect home for my husband and me, where we can retire and live a nice life. This vision is what lights my fire every day.
And BTW… I don’t have a Rolex, so no silly Real estate pictures of me.
So now that you know my life story, reach out, and let's have a nice cuppa tea because I'd love to hear more about you.
Love to all,
Elisa Goldhawke
