I prefer people over houses...even great houses!

Ok so if you know me, I am Realtor...right!  I get to meet, engage, advise and guide my clients on the

journey of either selling or a buying a home. perhpas someday I'll be a housing maven.

Have you ever stopped to think of all the people a Realtor meets, or rather should aim to meet?

Having a coffee, sharing lunch time, enjoying some vino are all a part of meeting people.

Just in the last 2 weeks, during the campaign to bring Jian Ghomeshi and Q to Guelph in February

2012,  www.bringqtoguelph.ca I have met the GREATEST people at flash mobs, coffee bars,

downtown Guelph shops and yes, on Twitter!  Twitter people are #amazing!

This Realtor aims to do more than sell Guelph homes and condos, I aim to be involved in local,

organic activities that show just how truly great Guelph is. How amazing the people that live here  

really are!  In Guelph you will meet authentic, creative, solid people with a strong sense of  

community.  If this has not been your experience, let me know...I'd be glad to introduce you!

 Of course when you are interested, check out our business at www.kristinandanita.ca

When previous students become clients!

So of you may know that prior to becoming a Realtor and growing a Real Estate Business, I was a primary school teacher....for 14 years. I do believe those 14 years were the training ground for this business. SERIOUSLY! Some days grown adults act no better than grade 2 students...LOL. You see, in the last few years of teaching getting my students excited about spelling dictation or math minute challenges became about showing them the value, the fun, and the result. Somedays I can still hear them cheering ' YES, Spelling dictation today!'. One of the amazing results having had such great students, is. That they are arriving at the time in their lives where they want to buy a home. Most know that I no longer teach as I am in touch with them through our church system. It has been my privilege to help them out, and this time I am doing the cheering: Congratulations you have bought your first home!! You can read some of their testimonials at our website www.kristinandanita.ca There has only ever been one challenge: to get them to call me Anita instead of Mrs. Van Rootselaar but we're working on that ! So when you need to be treated with respect, have your hand held, and want someone with patience...be sure to know I am experienced in that field!
