Create your Best Home
What does your home say about you?
The choices we make in our home reflect us: whether it is furniture color, shape, placement, paintings, photographs, books, technology, plants, wallpaper, tables and chairs, they all represent who we are. As does the space we live in. At different junctures of our lives, we benefit from outside help: consultants who guide us in moving forward to the next stages of our lives.
Your space...
Have you ever noticed that dogs tend to reflect their masters? Following this same principle, homes reflect their inhabitants: this mirroring is based on choices and it is important to give time and energy to this space. It is, after all, your castle.
...reflects your life.
Feeling energized or is the laundry piling up? Does your living space have good "flow" or is there something not quite right? The same way you may need a stylist to work wonders on your hair, you may need a fresh eye for your home. When was the last time you organized your house?

Made the decision to move? Creating an atmosphere with great breadth of appeal is crucial to the selling process. You wouldn't go to the high school dance in your gym outfit, right? Well then, prepare for your house makeover, and maximize your home's potential. Something to note: Timing is everything. You know you are ready to move, when it's no longer personal.

Connie has an eye, developed over time, from her days working at Sotheby's New York, in the Fine French Furniture Department, (she calls it "a rotating Musuem") to her years at Tiffany & Company working in the Crystal Buying Office and then managing the NYC flagship's Crystal & China Floor and Personal Shopping. Clearly, time well spent.

Clearly, time well spent. "Craftsmanship and beauty, form and function: these elements were always on view at Tiffany." Her favorite in house designer? "Jean Schlumberger!"

After merchandising & retail sales, Connie headed over to Corcoran New York and joined her mother and aunt in real estate sales. Here, she mastered marketing, negotiating, and relationship building, but more importantly, how people lived their lives, captured her attention.
"By the time we left for Montreal, I had been in thousands of apartments. That was an education in itself." In Montreal, Patricia Chang, owner of Westmount Realty, hired Connie and introduced her to the art of Harmony in Home Sales. After ten years in Montreal, Toronto became home.

Initially, Connie worked for a brokerage which specializes in buyer's representation, and a year later she joined a small boutique firm close to her mid-town home. Entering her third new market proved more daunting than she thought. Now Connie is behind the scenes, supporting a commercial agent. Burnaby & Brine is an off shoot of her real estate passion. "You don't come across someone with my experience, outlook and reference point in Toronto very often. I am definitely a hybrid."
