9 Things You Wouldn't Think to do in Niagara

The Niagara Region is a major tourist attraction and has a lot to offer visitors; but what about the locals? Not to worry, Niagara also presents a plethora of activities for us residents to enjoy! I’ve listed some of my top choices; a few things you wouldn’t necessarily think to do and a few old go-to’s. Feel free to add some of your favourite activities or locations in the comments below!

I'm a Real Estate..... Assistant?!?!

What do you think it means to be a Real Estate Assistant? Is it being a power hungry Realtor’s lackey? Is it drowning in endless paperwork? Is it following your boss around from client to client, house to house, taking notes? I’ll tell you this, I thought it was all of the above… and I was WRONG!

My First Real Estate Conference – What Was I Thinking?

I remember the day like it was yesterday, my boss approached me and asked if I was free a couple Wednesdays from the day, not knowing what to expect, I replied “Well, I’m pretty sure I’m working that day so I’m good for whatever you need me to do”, she then told me she would like me to join some of the team at an upcoming real estate conference. I was so excited; not only for the opportunity to do something that could benefit my future real estate career, but I also felt included.

How I'm Doing Things Differently in Real Estate

How many benches do you see every day on your way to work with a Realtor's face plastered on it?

Picture all those benches and billboards for a moment, now think about this: those are only a tiny portion of the Realtors in the Niagara Region. Of all the other Realtors in Niagara, only a portion have made a sale, and an even smaller fraction are successful Real Estate Agents; not to mention how many quit within their first couple years!

Go-Karting in Niagara Falls

I will never tire of Niagara Go-Karts; what's not to love, getting fast and furious, racing with your friends and other random people, trying to knock people off the course (is that just me? let's keep that between us), oh and did I mention there is mini-putt on-site!

Treetop Trekking!!!

Treetop Trekking in Brampton! Something I think everyone should experience at least once in their life. I've been three times, once in Brampton, once in Barrie, and once in Huntsville, and it is such a rush! Not to worry if you're afraid of heights (and believe me, I am), they give you  a hands-on lesson before starting, you can go at your own pace, you're tethered in really well, and there are guides ready to help and encourage you along the way. It is also a great way to face your fears and get a great workout!
