When people decide to buy a new home, it’s because they’re looking for something more. More space, more opportunity and more memories to last a lifetime. I got into Real Estate because I wanted more out of life, too. Just six years ago, I was working as the team leader at a call center when I realized something was missing. In my last year, I began to wake up dreading work, and I would gaze out of the window, dreaming about working for myself. Then one day, I decided to make the jump. I quit my corporate job to become a full-time Real Estate agent. Three years later, I was ranked the number one agent in the Durham region for Century21 Leading Edge. My name is Kenneth Toppin, and I am a Real Estate agent in the Greater Toronto Area. I grew up in Scarborough, Ontario between two worlds. On the north side of Kingston road, I saw well-off families. On the south side, I saw people working their hardest to make ends meet. My family was fortunate enough to move from an apartment building in the at-risk community to a small bungalow about a five-minute drive away. From there, I watched as some of my friends made bad decisions to make money. I saw circumstances and choices could make or break a future. Most importantly, I learned that I wanted more.
