'Not all boards are created equal, the requirements may look the same but requirements are weighed differently. From the moment that I begin working with clients I make sure that I am educating and preparing them to have the necessary documents prepared so once the home is in contract there are no unecessary delays.'

Aksana is passionate about every aspect of real estate.

'Real estate has always intrigued me. I can remember telling my mother, actually insisting, that she purchase a vacant lot while we were driving outside the city. A few years later a developer purchased it. I'll leave it to your imagination what happened. And to imagine that was 16 years ago.'

Most investors have that one opportunity that got away.

'The wonderful thing about real estate is that even though it has it's ups and downs you know it'll be a great asset to have because people need a place to live, businesses need storefronts and companies need offices.'

Prior to her career in real estate, Aksana was an elementary school teacher but don't let her demeanor throw you off, she is one tough cookie.

'It's one of the best experiences I have had. I had the honor to learn so much from my students and at the same time coaching them to reach their educational and personal goals. Being very goal oriented and doing what it takes to get things done, one of the wonderful life changing lessons I learned from my students is; enjoy the journey reaching the goal. Equiped with this knowledge and transfering to real estate, I do everything within my power to make the buying, selling and renting process a pleasant and enjoyable one.'
