ABOUT CHRIS OLSEN

After growing up and completing high school in the Beach area of Toronto, Chris decided to pursue his interests and enroll in the Business Finance program at Brock University in St. Catherines, Ontario. During the course of obtaining his degree Chris learned the important facets of finance and what it takes to succeed in business.

After Graduating in 2006, Chris travelled overseas and upon his return decided to get experience in another field he was passionate about, residential construction and renovation. He honed his skills in both indoor and outdoor residential construction and gained a full spectrum knowledge base of the numerous aspects of quality home construction. His excellent work ethic and willingness to complete any job to perfect standards served him well in this endeavor.

In 2010, Chris chose to go back to his scholastic roots and work for the Bank of Nova Scotia as a Commercial Banking Analyst. In the three years following Chris learned why and how successful businesses became so successful. He also learned the value and importance of providing excellent customer service in order to maintain a solid client base. Chris’ success at the bank was based on his precise attention to detail and his willingness to provide superior client care. This resulted in Chris winning a Scotiabank “Best of the Best” top individual award in 2011.

After acquiring the skills and experience from these professions, it seemed that a transition into Real Estate was only natural. Chris’goal is to provide the best possible customer service experience and to help his clients succeed in achieving a new home which is likely to be the most important transaction of their lives.

His understanding of marketing and design, as well as his managerial skills, ensured success and a business that has been acclaimed by many in the real estate industry, as the best of its kind. This venture gave him comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the real estate market and the importance of client care.

Excited and energized by every aspect of real estate, Ford decided to attain his real estate license. The plan to put his commitment to client care and his business experience to work for clients, on a first hand basis, was motivating. In 2013, Ford sold Show It Off Marketing to do exactly this!
