LOUISE THORNTON

I grew up in Belleville, Ontario, but after living in Kingston my entire adult life, I consider the Limestone City my home town. My husband and I have bought and sold many homes over the years, as our life circumstances changed and we have always researched our preferred neighbourhoods well. Our first home was in Amherstview; we moved just outside Kingston when we wanted to start our family; moved back into Kingston when we chose the public and high schools we wanted our two girls to attend and moved again when we became "empty nesters". We have truly hit all the life cycles.

Oddly, my working background began in real estate - 16 years in law offices working through real estate deals. Needless to say, I have in-depth knowledge of what happens to an offer once it goes to your lawyer. The next step in my career path took me in the direction of human resources and I am very proud of my success in that field. It gave me great insight into how to treat people and understand and correct their frustrations.

Now, in a sense, I have come full circle - back to an exciting, challenging and rewarding career in Real Estate which I've been doing for over 7 years now.
