Joe Salazar

Sales Representative

I grew up on a farm in Listowel Ontario. For 10 years my parents taught me work ethic, family values, and how to work the fields with a tractor at age 10. What they didn’t teach me was how to crash it. I learned that on my own. I joined the Army at age 17 and went on to help people around the world including Bosnia, Croatia, Rwanda, and Afghanistan. I was an Operating Room Technician which involved assisting in surgeries, treating the sick and injured.

After 25 years of dedicated service I decided that it was enough of being transferred every 4 years, settling down with the family was a priority. It was definitely a rewarding experience. We take life for granted. After experiencing the diverse lifestyles abroad, I began to appreciate what we we have here in Canada.

I got into real estate in 2008 and managed to achieve Master Sales award in just 2 years and Diamond Sales award from there on. I have a passion for what I do. Clients love that I’m detailed and that I do my research before submitting offers on properties. I hate to overpay for a property so why should my clients.

I intend to carry my values, work ethic and nursing skills to Real Estate. I think People Skills are important in this industry. Being personable, intuitive and a good listener.

Janet Salazar

Office Manager

I grew up in Yarmouth, a small fishing town in Nova Scotia. We really didn't have much material wealth, but Mom & Dad were always there for us.

I got a computer programming diploma and headed off to the USA to work for a couple of years.

After spending twenty odd years immersed in the corporate life, I left my stressful, 6-figure job in I.T. SunLife Canada to pursue my dream job - personal trainer and nutrition coach. At the time I reported to a V.P. so it was a tough decision, but Joe encouraged me to make the leap. I meet so many wonderful people and absolutely loved this work. I still work part-time as the nutritionist at the Crossfit gym.

At some point, Joe (hubby and partner) got crazy busy & asked if I’d help him with the backend of his business. Of course, I said: “Hell ya”!

I get a lot of pleasure from supporting people and making their lives easier. That’s true for Joe, his buyer agents and especially you! I’ll do what I can to help (if I’m not at crossfit).
