DOMINIKA CALHOUN

Let me tell you a little about myself… 

I always knew I was going to arrive here, in the world of real estate, but the road was long and winding and I picked up a lot of experience along the way.

Not afraid of change and looking for personal growth, I left a longstanding career in technical support at Apple Inc. with the knowledge that I really wanted to help others, leading me into the wealth management sector at BMO Nesbitt Burns. 

Experience in wealth management gave pause to consideration that one of the biggest challenges people had was saving up for the greatest milestones in their lives. Being in an advisory role created a fiercely protective loyalty to clients, ensuring their best interests were always number one. During my time with BMO, I knew I was going to work towards a career in real estate. There was something about trading in real estate over stocks that was more illuminating and interesting.. it was the people. 

My goal was to enter real estate with my entire mind, body and soul. To do that, I wanted to make some big changes in my life. I decided to leave my childhood neighbourhood, moving from Toronto to Barrie to really experience something different. After all, you can’t grow without change. I took a position in digital marketing and spent a few years working as an e-commerce development manager for a local Barrie business, Podium Pros Inc. 

During this time, it was that I came to the realization that I needed to make my move into real estate, or forever regret not making the leap of faith. With that, I joined Coldwell Banker, The Real Estate Centre - a brokerage that is truly invested in developing the most productive and successful agents, through their support system and available tools. 

Barrie and the surrounding area of Simcoe County are flourishing with choice regarding jobs, housing, amenities, and outdoor activities ready to discover, while being a convenient commute into the GTA and Toronto, or an excursion into cottage country whilst enjoying nearby parks, camping, skiing, biking, and walking trails.

Having considered Simcoe County to be brimming with opportunity, I recognize that some of my fondest memories growing up were of time spent north of the GTA. While wanting the beloved city of Toronto to still be accessible, but also yearning for a better quality of life, it has been the clear choice to put down roots and grow. 

With that in mind, I am energized to use my extensive, well rounded experience in marketing, design, communications, support and service to make you the most informed and satisfied client. 

Let’s work together to make your real estate goals happen!
