🐣From 50,000 Chickens to $1M deals: My Unexpected Path to Real Estate as an Immigrant to Canada 🇨🇦
In 2004, at just 14 years old, I started my first job helping my father run our family’s broiler poultry farm.
Every two months, we raised up to 50,000 chickens, feeding over 4,000 people a month in our community. It was high-stakes work. We had no systems, no software just instinct and hustle.
So I turned to Excel. Who knew this was going to be our 1st leap into digital transformation.
I started tracking everything manually:
Livestock growth and health
Humidity, temperature, water and diesel usage
Feed consumption and conversion ratios
Then I built a tool to help us predict outcomes, minimize losses, and make better decisions. It worked to the point where we were in a position to utilize all the data insights to optimize operations, scale the business, and bring transparency to every process.
We scaled the farm. Modernized our systems. Increased shareholder returns. To the point where all investors managed to fund their children's university education abroad across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
Looking back, I didn’t know it then, but I was learning the fundamentals of data-driven problem-solving, risk management, and strategic thinking, skills I now use daily in real estate.
🌱 Fast-forward 20 years…
Today, I serve homebuyers, sellers, and investors across the Greater Toronto Area with that same mindset, grounded in curiosity, systems, and strategy.
My approach isn’t based on hype or guesswork. It’s based on what I call a Multifecta lens, a layered, research-based way of understanding what drives real estate value. It includes:
📊 Real estate market data: supply, demand, absorption rates, and price trends
🏗️ Public infrastructure and investment: upcoming transit lines, zoning changes, and revitalization plans
🌆 Community development: school ratings, parks, retail anchors, and livability upgrades
🧠 Buyer and seller sentiment: what people are feeling, not just what they’re doing
🌐 Macroeconomic & political dynamics: fiscal & monetary government policies, immigration programs, and geopolitical events
🔍 Why This Matters
Understanding sentiment, how buyers and sellers feel about the market, is often the missing piece. Emotions drive timing, pricing, and negotiation behaviour.
Through heavy research, economic insight, and ongoing conversations with other agents and clients, I help you tap into that layer.
As a buyer, this gives you an edge: you know when to act, when to wait, and how to craft offers that land.
As a seller, it helps us set realistic pricing, build trust with buyers, and maximize your net proceeds by anticipating what others will bring to the table.
💡 It’s Not About Guessing, it’s About Seeing the Whole Board
Real estate is emotional, but decisions don’t have to be impulsive.
Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your investment, I bring a research-backed, empathetic, and strategic approach to help you move with clarity and confidence.
✨ From chickens and spreadsheets to real estate and negotiations. Curiosity, partnerships, and making a positive impact in this universe still drive everything I do.
