ABOUT SHIRLEYSTRONG TIES TO VANCOUVERWhen it really comes down to it, having a long-term connection to Vancouver has been a considerable advantage - both for me and for my clients. Born and raised in Vancouver, I do know the turf – and make it a habit to remain up-to-speed on this wonderful and ever-evolving city. I suppose it’s a natural inclination, given my family’s historic connection with Vancouver and British Columbia. It began in the ‘20s when my grandfather arrived to work for the Canadian National Railway and continued when my father arrived in the ‘40s to work for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Both recognized the values of hard work, independence and sacrifice – a legacy that I have tried to reflect in my brand, On Track Real Estate – a clear nod to these values and my family’s history. Today, I balance family, friends, and my penchant for cooking, with the demands of the real estate business. Fortunately, my work in real estate has proven a joy and continues to make the balancing task all worthwhile. |
