A long, long time ago.....I left a great 9 to 5 job with the CIBC and started to sell houses. $40,000.00 average house prices.... 18% interest rates....typewriters....carbon paper.... pagers and photocopiers. Now 27 years later, my world includes $250,000 average house prices...2-5% interest rates and wireless hand held computers and communication devices. Helping people buy and sell a home is still the same...but the efficiency and speed that I get to do it in is remarkable!
Giving back to my community is important to me, and I'm the proud sponsor of the Hamilton Ladies Hornet's Rugby Team, volunteer for the Hamilton Big Brothers and Big Sisters and supporter of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. I'm an active participant in our local Real Estate community and currently sit on the Hamilton Realtors Association's Government Relations Committee.
My interests are as diverse as the people I get to work for everyday! I'm an aviation enthusiast, holding a Canadian Private Pilots License and because of this I'm always interested in what's going on at our local Airport. My farm roots haven't been trimmed too much, and I'm still in love with all thing Goats, being a past breeder, member and Director of the Ontario Goat Breeders Association. My circle of friends includes many active farmers....so I'm also keenly interested in the Ontario Agricultural climate. Raising 3 children and moving residences a few times while they were younger,taught me a tremendous amount about stress levels on families taking on a change of residence, so I'm always interested in professional development as a Realtor, knowing that the more I know and the easier I can make it for my clients...the happier and less stressed they'll be!
I guess that 28 years in the industry simply means I don't have to ask as many questions anymore and I get to move into every day with new confidence; loving every minute of it! Commitment, dedication, integrity, flexibility and the aptitude to accept change are the ingredients in my recipe for success in Real Estate....a career which has truly allowed me to sell Hamilton with a smile....for 28 years!
Sincerely
Donna Bacher
