TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
effectively at an even higher level than I can do alone. The Shaw Team consists of myself as the Realtor® and Team Lead, Kelly Reddin as a Team Realtor® and Andrea Bright, our Transaction Coordinator and Client Care Manager.
I’m a Realtor® at Royal LePage Prince Edward Realty and Team Lead of the Shaw Team here in beautiful Prince Edward Island. I have been selling real estate for over 30 years now. I spent many years working on developing systems and creating sales techniques to help buyers and sellers achieve high levels of happiness and solid proven results from the professional service that I offer. I started in the business in 1989 in my early twenties and, was a member of the Toronto Real Estate Board for over 25 years. I’ve seen and experienced so many different types of markets and worked with and helped people from all over the world. I’ve been involved in and worked on real estate training programs. More recently I have curated a team of Real Estate professionals, the Shaw Team. We work together to provide exceptional customer service and to serve clients
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER?
I was going to university to become a physical education teacher and during the summer I decided that it would be interesting to learn more about real estate. Real estate is typically one of the largest investments that you will make in your life, so it seemed like a great idea to take the real estate course and become well educated in the process. After taking the course I realized that I absolutely loved learning about real estate and decided that this was a career I wanted to be in and knew that this is my life endeavour. And that’s when it all started. Through team development and training, as well as educating clients, I still get to fulfill my teaching desires.
