Working in a beautiful rural area has been one of the highlights of Ashley Barker’s four-year career in real estate. While the lower price points in Tobermory mean she’s had to move more properties to get the same results as some of her big-city counterparts, that just means she gets to do more of what she loves. “I love the area I work in and wouldn’t change a thing,” she says.
Barker has accelerated her professional development by engaging in a practice too many Realtors simply don’t make time for. “Take the time to reflect on where you have been, what you can improve on and where you want to be,” she advises. “Self-reflection can be hard, but it’s worth it.”
