Some people go for the gold. But Ingrid Jarisz got it. Helping people achieve their housing dreams for many years, the real estate professional has earned her shiny gold plaque. With the launch of a new office in Sidney and their golden connection with an international player, Ingrid is enjoying the wind at her back as she flies into a saffron sunrise.
It was a splendid and starry affair at the posh Union Club on April 2, 2015: “A Night To Shine” honoured the achievements of local real estate professionals during the past year. Ingrid Jarisz of Newport Realty was one of the winners of a 2014 Victoria Real Estate Board MLS “GOLD” Award. The distinguished recipients are among the top 10% of realtors in Victoria. Considering the red hot competitive real estate market in this very desirable area of Canada, that is a momentous honour.
Christie’s International Real Estate is one of the world’s oldest auction art houses. In 1995, their decision to market both fine art and high-end properties resulted in a hugely successful global real-estate empire that is the largest and most successful marketer of luxury homes in the world. “Christie’s International Real Estate is an invitation-only Affiliate network composed of the world’s most proven and qualified real estate specialists in the luxury residential sector. The company has offices in London, New York, Hong Kong, Beverly Hills, Chicago, and Palm Beach, and more than 135 global Affiliates with 25,000 real estate professionals in 45 countries.” (www.christiesrealestate.com) It was a very prestigious honour for Newport Realty when it was named “Western Canada Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate” in November 2014. This recognition is celebrated in a press release by Christie’s at that time: “Newport Realty now joins a carefully selected network of brokerages with proven records of success in both high-end property sales and exemplary client services.” Last November, it was party time at Newport Realty with a double celebration – the new collaboration with Christie’s at their new office and venture in Sidney. Ingrid Jarisz is now part of a winning team of realtors that stretches around the planet. She has come a long way in her career of over 25 years.
Ingrid’s success is a natural progression for the hard-working realtor who never misses a beat in a demanding profession. Glowing testimonials from very happy clients all centre around similar themes: absolute attention to every detail, diligent thorough analysis and research, seamless flawless service, creativity and innovation – all served up with an empathic client-centred approach that includes follow-ups after the ink is dry.
With all the shiny-gold exciting real estate opportunities coming her way, Ingrid can look forward to more adventures along her own yellow-brick road.
