Muraca Homes

A lesson in my life has always been to listen more than speak – I have asked a lot of questions and learned to pay close attention to the answers. I have inundated people around me with questions in an attempt to broaden my personal scope and to diversify my knowledge base. My father bore the brunt of my questions and he taught me everything I know about houses. He worked in construction for a living and was able to do everything around the house. Through him I started to work in construction during my university years on weekends and in the summer. This is where I learned fundamentals that I will keep with me for life, hands on lessons building homes from the ground up. From foundations and footings to painting and finishes, home building was the first real skill I mastered. After graduating from university I started to look for a career. I was lucky enough to fall into a position selling furnaces and fireplaces across Southern Ontario. This experience helped hone my skills in customer service, and strengthened my knowledge base of HVAC operations. I held this position for a few years and developed an interest in the energy efficiency of home based products. As a means of further broadening my knowledge of homes, I became licensed as an Energy Advisor. Through this licensing I was able to work for the largest company in the industry, ENERGUY. One of the most important aspects of being an advisor is having a thorough knowledge of the home, as well as an understanding of how different parts of the structure work together. Every action in a home has a consequential reaction, and properly retrofitting a home for energy efficiency is no exception. This experience led me to start my own business. I visited up to ten homes a day addressing issues relating to energy efficiency, and building plans with homeowners to correct these problems. I was able to strengthen my customer service experience, and was given countless opportunities to listen to what people really loved about their houses. As the program was nearing an end, I needed to find a new career. My experience in the housing market as well as my time spent as a business owner led me to real estate. With my experience in sales, home construction, and an established client base I moved on to my get my real estate license. My first year in real estate has been a great success. I am nearing my 30th deal. I attribute my success thus far to finding something I truly enjoy doing. I am a people person, and my ability to listen makes me a great agent. I pay close attention to specifics, and try to make all of my customers’ wishes come true. My knowledge of home building and energy efficiency makes me a resource for both my buying and selling clients, as well. I have a deep based knowledge of what types of renovations can be carried out on a home, the costs associated with these kinds of changes, and the possible surprises that owners may encounter. I am a persistent personality and a hard worker. I look forward to dedicating my time to finding the perfect home for my buyer, or the perfect buyer for my listing, and hope to help you!
