Not all Realtors complete deals while they’re in labour – thank you, DocuSign – but not all agents are Jacqueline Pennington. A former lobbyist used to fighting for her clients’ interests, Pennington brought that same drive and determination to real estate 11 years ago. “I’ve always have said my job isn’t to sell my clients on anything, but to be an advocate for them and ensure their interests are protected,” she says.
As a young agent looking to differentiate herself, Pennington became an encyclopedia of market knowledge. Her bottomless expertise has made her a guru for investors in the Durham Region. “When anyone asks me, ‘How’s the market doing?’, I can answer with specific details and facts and not the old, ‘Depends if you’re buying or selling’ shtick,” she says.
