PDF Prior to a major personal financial collapse in the publishing business, (which was the precursor to a real estate sales career, to get back on my feet as quickly as possible) I did an 8 year stint in Canada’s High Arctic as a construction manager (That is where the money came from to fail in publishing).
While the art of self publishing, as in “Blogging” does not require that a “Blogger” has to hold out credentials, as the entry into the blogging world is virtually barrier free, I feel it is a gesture that should be required all the same. If you are going to pontificate on topics, best you have some legs holding up that big head.
To begin, my name is Tim Harris and I am the broker for Tradewinds Realty Incorporated. My credentials to begin a Nova Scotia Real Estate Blog are varied. I have been in the real estate business in Nova Scotia for 16 years, with 14 of those years as a broker. Prior to entering the real estate business it might be simply said I was searching for something and wasn’t finding it.
Prior to a major personal financial collapse in the publishing business, (which was the precursor to a sales career, to get back on my feet as quickly as possible) I did an 8 year stint in Canada’s High Arctic as a construction manager (That is where the money came from to fail in publishing). I really just bounced from career to career, more or less the same as I did trying to get an education. I have rammed my head up against many university institutions, however most recently I entered an Executive-MBA program at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax and will graduate this spring, 2005. So I can finally (thank god) put post graduate education behind me. At the ripe old age of 51 I have finally completed my studies. I think.
I co-manage (along with my general manager and my office manager) Tradewinds Realty in Chester, Nova Scotia. We have approximately 20 Realtors and 3 offices. We are broadly based throughout Nova Scotia and cover a very wide market area, which is continuing to grow. Our product range covers “Capes, Condo’s and Castles“.
Our corporate success’s are many. Remax (South Shore) was kind enough to compile the MLS stats
MarketShare2003.pdf
and in 2002 we were ranked as the #2 Brokerage on the South Shore. Since that time we have grown by 30% and our gross sales for 2004 are $55,000,000. While Remax may always show us as #2, because 25% of our sales are exclusive/non-MLS listings and are not counted in the final tally, we most likely would be #1. But I doubt Remax will get around to publishing that statisic!
In 2004 Tradewinds had the honour of listing, marketing and selling the most expensive residential property at Indian Point, Nova Scotia.
Tradewinds also purchased a downtown Chester icon, the Chester Pharmacy Building, for a corporate head office and did a major conversion, back-dating the facade to the 1940′s. We also purchased a building in Lunenburg and have future plans for renovation also.
In any event, I feel I have some qualifications to expound about Nova Scotia real estate and will get on with it ASAP.
Thank you for listening.
