Jill’s branding and marketing efforts in West Rouge over the last 10 years have resulted in the elevation of local property prices to a premium, compared to the average home price in Toronto.
Before Jill executed her sophisticated strategy, real estate values in West Rouge were comparable to that of the GTA. Now, thanks to Jill’s efforts, West Rouge homes are valued 10% higher on average than the average home price in Toronto. This transformation continues to benefit everyone who lives in the neighbourhood, as well as prospective buyers who can see the exceptional resale value of West Rouge real estate.
Jill’s high-level planning and attention to detail have contributed to the successful sale of over 700 homes in the GTA and more than 20 years of praise from satisfied clients.
Jill’s passion for the real estate business is shared with her husband, Larry Yan, and their daughters, Jennifer and Katie. Jill’s four grandchildren are a big part of her life and always bring a smile to her face. Jill enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing cards and board games, golfing, travelling, relaxing at her cottage in Haliburton, and reading a good book.
