Stewart was born and raised until the age of 15 in the industrial City of Manchester, England. Transferred to Montreal (temporarily) in 1976 with his Fathers work (as a Mechanical Engineer with C.I.L.) and then permanently to Nobel/Parry Sound. It was here, on the shores of Georgian Bay, he completed high school and graduated from Parry Sound High. Undecided as to a future direction he took it upon himself to obtain a job manufacturing dynamite! at the local (former munitions) explosives factory. In 1982, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps as a Mechanical Engineer. Applied to and accepted at Seneca College, he graduated in 1985 with an Engineering Technology diploma.
Entrepreneurial in nature, he paid his way through College plowing driveways, repairing and restoring cars and rebuilding and reselling appliances. Having met an appliance specialist in college the two started a successful New and Used appliance repair/rental store on Bayview Ave in Newmarket. Bought out by his partner a year later he invested the proceeds into real estate! He had found his niche! From the appliance store he spent the next two years with an automotive parts manufacturer and a year after that with a Major Automotive manufacturer.
Intrigued by the Real Estate market, having bought and sold properties, he ventured into the business by obtaining his license to sell Real Estate in 1988. It became obvious within 6 months of selling that this was the career he aspired to. He gave notice at his full-time position and entered the market with great enthusiasm. The enthusiasm was met by a market where real estate prices crashed by 25%, a test to even the most seasoned salesperson. Stewart persevered in his newfound field and is now consistently, year after year, one of the Top Producing Realtors in Newmarket. And now after 30 years, he continues to excel in the sale process.
Stewart has continued to upgrade his knowledge and expertise, obtaining his Brokers License in 1990, and further by continuously improving himself through Real Estate related educational courses. With over 30 years experience he brings to you his professionalism, integrity and dedication to the Real Estate market.
