In 2016 Ivy relocated from Toronto, Canada to Sarasota; several months later she began her real estate business, and never looked back!
During her years in a manufacturing setting, Ivy worked in purchasing management, human resources, and health and safety. Studying all three topics at Ryerson University, she obtained her certification in Occupational Health and Safety. Utilizing this certificate, she then worked as an Adjudicator for the Ontario government. These experiences culminated in acquiring various professional skills including negotiations, customer service, and understanding and applying legislation, policy, and regulations. She is described as reliable, resourceful, communicative, results-oriented, and a great problem-solver.
Did you know that only a small percentage of Realtors get higher education beyond the basic license? Ivy has obtained several National Association of Realtors (NAR) designations and certifications, as she believes in providing superior service to her customers. These include Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), and Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE). She is also a certified member of the Institute for Luxury Marketing and At Home with Diversity (AHWD).
