THE INSIGHTS
Where did you grow up?
San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Where do you live now?
Halton Hills.
How did you end up becoming a real estate agent?
I’ve always had a passion for sales, even while working part-time during university. My career began at Avison Young with the industrial sales team, where I was inspired to pursue my real estate license and transition into commercial real estate.
In a few sentences, describe what a typical “day in the life” looks like for you. Does this align with what you expected before you became an agent?
A day in my life is always on the go, especially as a mom of two. I am always checking market updates, touring properties, meeting clients, negotiating deals, and marketing listings. No two days are the same, but every day is about helping clients find the perfect property. I think overall It is what a I expected and I definitely love it which makes the hard days ok.
What’s the single best advice you have for sellers?
Price strategically, not emotionally. Homes that are priced right from the start attract the most attention, generate stronger offers, and sell faster. Specially in the current market, it's all about setting the right pricing expectations.
What’s the single best advice you have for buyers?
Get your mortgage pre-approval before you start shopping. It gives you a clear budget, shows sellers you’re serious, and positions you to act quickly when the right property comes up.
What made you choose to work for your current brokerage?
The team. In many sales environments, competition can feel cutthroat. At my current brokerage, however, the culture is collaborative. Everyone is team-oriented and always willing to support one another.
Who do you believe is making the biggest waves in the industry today?
Dream Unlimited Corporation. With $15 billion in real estate assets, they are tackling massive urban development projects. Notably, they're co-developing the Quayside district on Toronto’s waterfront, a 12-acre initiative that includes 800 affordable housing units. They’re also behind the Brightwater community in Mississauga.
What is one professional goal you have for the next year? What’s one that you have for the next 10 years?
My goal is to continue building my client base and strengthen my presence in the market by closing more transactions and expanding my referral network. In the next 10 years I aim to establish myself as a top-producing agent in my region, develop a trusted brand in real estate, and build a team that can serve clients across multiple markets.
Tell us about your favourite (or most memorable) sale, and why it stands out to you.
My most memorable sale was helping a first-time buying family find their first home. It was my first time guiding a family through that process after transitioning from commercial real estate to both, and seeing their excitement made it unforgettable. It definitely made me love my job more.
What are the three words you hope your clients use to describe you?
Honest. Committed. Resourceful.
