mortgage broker Realtor Jennifer O’Connor Sold On Success - Committed To Community Jennifer O’Connor - A Realtor® With Vision Room with a view, anyone? How about a savvy, forward-thinking REALTOR ® who effectively matches real estate to real people with an insightful 360-degree perspective?! Meet the delightfully genuine Jennifer O’Connor, a true professional who perceives her responsibility to clients as extending way beyond simple property transactions. “The concept of ‘community’ is paramount. Your ‘home’ is not just the house or condo you purchase, but more a reflection of the overall life you want to create. It’s about where you’ll relax or recreate with neighbours, where your children will play and attend school. Even when someone simply wants the right investment property, my role as a REALTOR ® is really to help people accomplish their dreams.” Initially assisting her father behind the scenes, Jennifer eventually embraced the “family” real estate business wholeheartedly, but credits her prior career experience in banking and land development as the catalyst that elevated her to the advantageous position of now being able to see “the big picture” more so than others in her field. “I learned to look at property purchases in relation to the surrounding community and its land use process. If my buyer is contemplating a home that backs onto open space, I’m checking what is proposed for that area in the future. I always want to empower my clients with all the information necessary to making an informed decision.” Jennifer’s clients definitely appreciate her dedication to detail, not to mention the extensive array of industry professionals and tradespeople she shares as quality referrals, all tried-and-true, thanks to her ongoing property management expertise which is yet another way this enterprising achiever goes the extra mile. “Jennifer has an extensive range of knowledge on all aspects of purchasing a new home…inspections, permits, even renovations. She takes the time to really know you, your family… even the seller! Her personal understanding of our respective situations helped her explain to the owner, a woman very sentimental about her house remaining a family home, that I was passionate about buying her property because this was my wish as well. The result was the greatest investment of my life!” Another match made in Realty heaven for Jennifer, recently the proud recipient of her Brokerage license. “I always wanted to be in a ‘helping’ profession. When clients trust me with such an important life decision, I am truly grateful for that honour. Connection, discovery, freedom…this is what I want from my career. Real estate scores high on every point.” Clearly, so does Jennifer O’Connor, your REALTOR® with vision. Realtor JENNIFER O’CONNOR Schaaf Realty Ltd.
