I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, and I’m trilingual—fluent in English, French, and Arabic. My parents immigrated from Lebanon in the early ‘80s, seeking a better life, and settled in this incredible city. Growing up in a low-income household, I watched my parents turn challenges into opportunities, shaping me into the person I am today.
In 2012, a conversation with a friend who was getting his real estate license changed everything for me. Within 30 minutes, I knew I had to explore this path. I realized that my life experiences and academic background had given me the skills to thrive in this industry and provide exceptional service to others. It felt like stepping into a world full of opportunities—where success was within reach, but only if I was willing to put in the hard work and stay consistent.
Buying a home is a lot like building the perfect career—it takes time, effort, and financial planning. The down payment, closing costs, and furnishing expenses don’t appear overnight; they require dedication and perseverance. Real estate has shaped the way I operate in every aspect of my life—not just as a professional but also as an uncle to my amazing niece and nephew.
For me, real estate is more than just finding someone a house. It’s about building relationships, guiding people on their journey to a place they can truly call home, and being part of life-changing milestones. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the lessons I learned along the way—from my first job as a busboy to negotiating for a bigger allowance as a kid. These experiences helped me develop an unshakable work ethic, which I now channel into every client interaction. Seeing my clients become like family and achieve their dreams is what fuels my passion every day.
