Jon Stephenson

Real Estate has always been at the forefront of our family. When we were

kids we always rode along in the car while Dad had showings. We would

spend time at the new office he opened in Stouffville regularly. It was his

passion. It became ours. He was amazing at it! Mom also had her Real

Estate Licence but more importantly, chose to focus on raising us three

kids. Real Estate was different back in the day. Big fancy cars were the

norm so you could transport your clients to showings in style. Long drives

several times a day were sometimes needed to get paperwork signed. It

all seemed so amazing to us when we were young. We never saw the

long days, stressful meetings & rising bills to pay. It was the little things he

did that made him seem like a superhero to us. You would never have

known if Dad had stress. No matter the situation he taught us to be calm

and collected. He understood that getting upset or erratic was not going to

help anyone. He knew that being kind and honest was the only way to be.

Anything else would always come back to haunt you. 

“You are only as good as your word” he used to say. He taught us to have

integrity and be yourself. To have confidence and stand up for yourself. To

protect your client’s best interests. This is all imperative to being a good

Realtor. If there is a problem and you don’t know how to fix it, be honest

and look into it to find the solution. People will respect your work ethic and

resolve. We never understand the volume of information we learn from

someone while we're living it. Now we can look back, we can see how

much we learned from dad in life and in Real Estate. We see that he was

a fountain of knowledge and he taught us to be good people. Our clients

can feel that. They know we have their best interests at hand. They know

they can rely on us and we’ll do everything we can for them. They know

they can trust us.

Dad always made us feel important. We now understand that he had a

million things on the go but we never saw that affect him. This is a huge

life lesson for being a good parent. Kids are vulnerable and soak up

what’s around them so you have to be careful what you’re showing

them. We’re very thankful to have had great parents who were also great

Realtors.

Jeff and I always knew we would join the family business. It was a matter

of when. It was our Dad’s legacy and it's something we are very proud of.

Real Estate is in our blood! 

Sales jobs have always been the go-to for us. We're naturals when

engaging with people and we both thrive in conversation.

He instilled in us that stress can be harmful. Everyone will end up in the

same place whether they stress along the way or not. So what is the point?

We love that we help our clients remove some of that stress from the

biggest decision in their lives. That helps them in a meaningful way. That’s

exhilarating! When I was 28 I decided it was time. Dad was ill, and I knew

that joining the family business would help him. He was tired and on

Dialysis 3 days a week. This was a no-brainer for me. Jeff joined me 9

years later after Dad had suddenly passed away. We started working in

the business together, and the rest is history. We know that real estate is

the best investment you will ever make. You need a team that is

knowledgeable in your corner. That is familiar with the area where you are

moving. Otherwise, many things can go wrong.

It is important to us to have an honest client relationship, both ways. That

we keep our integrity and professionalism when we’re under pressure.

That we are there for you when you need solid, honest advice.Every Real

Estate transaction is different in many ways. We are a successful,

knowledgeable team and that can make all the difference. We have been

doing this for a long time for the Right Reasons and we can't wait to work

for you! We love what we do! This helps create a relaxed atmosphere but

make no mistake; we take our job very seriously. It's rewarding to see the

improvement in our clients' lives when they can provide more space for

their growing families. That extra bathroom. That great neighbourhood

their kids can play in. Removing some of the pressures in life and making

life more enjoyable. That is what it's all about. 

You!
