Heather Hadden

Team Leader

close

You could say Toronto is in Heather Hadden's blood. She comes from a long line of Torontonians, and her connection to this world-class city is so strong that she's made it into a successful career in the top 1% of Toronto agents and Team Leader at Hadden Homes. But her path to real estate wasn't a straight line. Heather started out as a teacher, but traded the books for listings and followed in the career path of her sister, a realtor. Heather discovered her ability to connect with people - likely seeded by her sociology studies at Queen's University, and put it to work serving clients and starting her own business.

"Best decision of my life. I found I LOVED connecting with people, and nothing compared to the high and excitement of helping them find their perfect home," says Heather.

Meanwhile, she was living out a number of personal milestones as well, including marriage, the birth of her daughter, divorce, moving thrice (to three different neighbourhoods), meeting a new love (she swiped right) and settling comfortably into her new, blended family. These experiences have come with a host of new and exciting adventures, and empathy that is what helped shape her business.

"I knew how hard these transitions had been for me. Whether it was buying a first home, needing to upsize, needing to downsize, retiring parents, I’ve been there," Heather says. "Over the past 14 years, my team and I have been through every situation under the sun, and are equipped to make this transition as easy as possible for you."

- I have my 10,000 hours!

Aside from her "people" skills, Heather knows the city - and the housing market - like the back of her hand. She is a proven skilled sales professional who brings to the table a combination of fierce negotiation skills, cunning wit and the drive to win - and win she does.

Hadden Homes is in the top 0.1% of agents in the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, and our listings sell in an average of just 11.5 days for 105% of list price.

The Hadden Homes Method is designed to end the stress and chaos of the sale, and make your life as EASY as possible.

Paul Stavros

Sales Representative

I’m the son of immigrant parents who came here from Greece over 40 years ago. They opted for a life full of risk and uncertainty to get away from the economic problems of our home country and raise a family of respectable and hard working individuals.

Having watched my parents get older, working jobs they didn’t like, and learning over time how much they sacrificed for my brother, sister and I, a lightbulb eventually went off in my head. Prior to Real Estate, I was working in manufacturing, where I was a production supervisor for seven and a half years.

I was living a life based on what I thought was correct - getting a “good job” even though I never went to university, but my parents came here to give me a better life… it was time for me to start living one. And that led me to Real Estate.

Since then, I've been fortunate enough to help over 150 people across the GTA buy and sell their homes and haven't looked back since.
