BIOGRAPHY

About Us

Caroline was born and raised in a francophone and Italian home in Montreal and moved to Toronto with her parents when 10 years old. She was exposed to a wonderful mix of culture and food and to this day loves to entertain and cook for friends and family.

Ron was born and raised in Toronto and also lived in a small Ontario town for a few years during his youth. Ron grew up in a very creative and sports oriented environment leading to an ongoing love of music, art and sports.

Caroline and Ron are life and business partners and currently live in East end Toronto in the Birch Cliff  neighbourhood with their family. They have been active in various ways in their communities over the years from fund raising, memberships in community associations, supporting local charities and businesses, and even donning crazy costumes for local parades and events! You may have met Ron in any one of Toronto’s hockey rinks or soccer and lacrosse playing fields either as a coach, teacher or player. He is also a musician and is known to occasionally play at local establishments and get-togethers.

More about Caroline

I began my real estate career in Toronto in 1987 selling homes in the Beach ( Beaches ), Fallingbrook, Hunt Club, Birch Cliff, Scarborough Bluffs, Danforth Village, Riverdale and Leslieville neighborhoods.  In 1990 I moved on to manage a real estate office north of Toronto specializing in properties in Newmarket, Aurora, Holland Landing, Innisfil and Barrie. I’ve worked with first time home buyers, experienced home owners, investors, builders of small and large development projects and with landlords of residential and commercial properties.

In the mid 90's, I stepped back a bit to focus on my family. Then an interesting opportunity was presented to me and loving a challenge, I began a career in media, advertising and marketing.

Over the years I’ve also expanded my knowledge and experience in interior design, sustainable living and feng shui. 

Real Estate was never out of sight or out of mind so in 2009 I joined Royal Lepage Estate Realty. I’m very excited to be able to bring all of my knowledge and years of experience in different areas together to help people again achieve their home ownership and investment goals.

More about Ron

After graduating as a Graphic artist and working on a few projects, I spent a brief period of time in the construction industry where I realized my passion for real estate. I began selling real estate in 1986 with Royal LePage. I enjoyed working with many varied clients, mainly in the East end of Toronto, until 1992 when I was called to help my father in his sports business as a sales representative.

Two years later, I made a decision to change directions after an opportunity as a regional account manager for a national eyewear company came my way. This position took me on the road all over the GTA and South Eastern Ontario where I discovered many beautiful hidden communities and neighbourhoods.

Real estate was never out of sight or out of mind and I returned to the industry in 2007 where I again joined the Royal Lepage network. I’m very excited to share my 30 years of sales experience in helping our clients negotiate the best opportunities possible.
