Luxury Real Estate

I have just completed a two day seminar and received a Luxury Property Certification from the Luxury Property Institute from the U.S. at a Toronto venue sponsored by Royal LePage and our Carriage Trade Luxury brand along with BMW Canada, Cutco Knives, a major house inspection network and a few others, and I must say it was a worthwhile experience that was filled with ideas.
The institute is an American organization where luxury real estate is a major industry with so many incredible destinations for purchasers for their primary or secondary home.
During the two days much was shared from agents selling luxury properties to celebrities and sports figures in L.A. Two major business players in Manhattan, Toronto, and beyond.
I absorbed much in a short time and look forward to incorporate many of these new practices into our busy and full Ottawa Luxury market.
I realized as we were reviewing a variety of lifestyles, that from early on I have been blessed with opportunities to live many different and exciting lifestyles. I realized that I have always enjoyed being on or very close to water since a small child and this has continued throughout my adult life.
I grew up in Burlington Ontario which is a beautiful waterfront community. I also lived in the Toronto beach area, right down on Queen’s Quay in Toronto overlooking Lake Ontario, as well as in Vancouver B.C. overlooking Coal Harbour as well as the bird sanctuary, Stanley Park and the Lion’s Gate Bridge. to a beautiful waterfront setting in Oakville Ontario, a charming property overlooking McKay Lake in Rockcliffe Park, a spectacular island property on Georgian Bay and finally to where my husband and I currently reside in the heart of the Nation’s Capital overlooking the ceremonial route along Sussex Drive with the Ottawa River and Gatineau hills as the backdrop.
I realized today that I must have an affinity for water.
I remember being in Cabos San Lucas and thinking that the geography was perfection; ocean, desert and mountains in a single destination. It was glorious.
I suppose that I have also experienced a variety of lifestyle living situations as well…from beautiful desert homes in Tucson Arizona to luxe condo living in several major Canadian centre’s as well as enjoying the great outdoors on an island in the Canadian Shield.
I have been very blessed and as a result I have seen so many spectacular homes and different lifestyles.
The Nation’s Capital offers a bounty of beautiful luxury properties with a variety of lifestyles from lazy waterfront vistas to exciting equestrian farms.
