Soon after obtaining his license, Bill started working on his Broker’s license as he’s always been driven to learn more. When he was licensed initially in 1987, it was his goal to practice commercial real estate soon afterwards. He knew, however, that it takes time to become established and build up clientele so he began by listing residential properties while building his commercial business at the same time.
At one point early in his career, Bill had both 11 residential listings and 11 commercial listings on the go at once. What he didn’t have was a personal life. While his commercial clients needed him Monday to Friday during business hours, his residential clients needed him on evenings and weekends. There almost wasn’t even time to breathe.
He knew this needed to change, so in the summer of 1989 he referred all of his residential listings to other agents in the office and embarked on a commercial real estate career which he’s specialized in ever since, selling and leasing retail, industrial and office properties all across Ontario.
