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.

Diana Knight

Sales Representative

Diana's passion for Real Estate was evident from a young age. She used to drag her friends to open houses in her Toronto neighbourhood at the tender age of 12, and would point out "good buys" to her parents.

Diana got her start investing in Real Estate while living in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. She bought land, designed and built a home, and then ran it as a successful vacation rental.

When kids came along, Diana chose to settle in Toronto’s very family-friendly East End. Since moving home in 2009, Diana has continued to build a career in the industry she is so passionate about.

She works all over the GTA but her focus is on all the amazing areas the City of Toronto has to offer. Having done a number of renovations to homes over the years, she brings a wealth of knowledge when it comes to construction & design, which has proven to be invaluable to her buyer clients. She is an investor at heart, who owns and manages rental properties, and always ensures her clients not only find their dream home, but also make a sound investment.

Georgina Blanchard

Sales Representative

Born and raised in Toronto, and now raising a family of her own here, Georgina knows - and loves - this city inside and out. Georgina holds an undergraduate and Master's degree from Queen's University in Sociology as well as a Bachelor of Community Health Sciences in Midwifery from TMU. After working for almost a decade as a Registered Midwife in the GTA, she has delivered hundreds of babies and has worked intimately with families at a very special time in their lives. Through this rewarding work, Georgina has developed a keen sense of compassion and intuition, and has honed her ability to really listen to people's wants and needs and prioritize those preferences. Her passion for real estate began when she purchased her first home in the height of the mid 2000's bidding wars era without going into competition. When selling that house for well over asking and purchasing her forever home at a steal, her very own real estate agent encouraged her to become a real estate agent herself!

Georgina loves being a member of her community and this past year was Head Coach for her son's U11 Select Hockey team at George Bell. She even had to go to Hockey University to get certified as a Level 2 Coach from Hockey Canada! When she's not driving her kids to and from practice, lessons or art class, you can find her in the park in her neighbourhood. If it's winter, she'll be tending to the community ice rink that she spearheaded 8 years ago and if it's spring, summer or fall, she'll be in one of the two pollinator gardens she planted and cares for. When she's not working, with her kids or in the park, she loves to spend time at home with her husband and enjoys cooking and playing fiddle.

For me, my accomplishments are more about having confident, informed and happy clients as opposed to flashy signs and ads that boast about sales volume or how I am “better than the rest”. I speak to people and treat them like I have known them for years. Honest, pragmatic and experience driven advice is key to any Buyer’s or Seller’s transaction and that’s what makes my life a success!

Whether you are looking to buy or sell a waterfront home/cottage, rural hobby farm/estate or even waterfront/in-town commercial property, I have your back! There will be ebbs and flows, ups and downs, but managing those scenarios with respect for everyone involved is what I am here for. There’s no smoke and mirrors with me, and as a line from a great Bob Marley song says, “I wear no disguise”.

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.
