Gillian H. Stickney - RE/MAX Elite (Windermere)

I have been a Realtor serving the Edmonton and area market since 2003. I consider myself to be far from the typical "sales person" but instead more of a liaison or customer service provider for buying or selling real estate. In fact, it was my aversion to being a "sales person" that kept me from getting started in the business earlier than I did. I had always loved real estate, even as a young girl - well before real estate was trendy and things like HGTV existed. It was an exciting day for me when the yearly calendar would arrive in the mail from my family's realtor, I would flip through the calendar picking my favorites... isn't that what every 9 year old would do?!? I always knew that I loved business and wanted to be the driver of my own success but was not sure how to accomplish this. My love for real estate continued and I purchased my first home while I was still in school, prior to becoming a Realtor. Shortly after graduation I was at a cross road in life and received encouragement from three totally unrelated parties over the coarse of a weekend to get into real estate. It was an "ah-ha moment" for me and I just knew this was right and that I would thrive. Since then I have enjoyed great success from the get-go including "Rookie Of The Year" in 2004 and "Medallion" (top 5% of all Edmonton agents) in 2006. My continued approach to serve clients with sincerity and integrity has allowed my a great career based on repeat and referral business. "To give real service you must add something that cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity."
