By 1853, he started the first Guelph brewery brewing small 100-barrel batches. Today, Sleeman Breweries is Canada’s third largest national brewer. While Sleeman may have become a bigger company, it never lost sight of its original vision to bring Canadians better beer.

Cocktail Hour Sponsor 2023 ​
Coming from a real estate family, entering the real estate brokerage business was for me, a default decision. Like most families, dinner table talk revolved around our daily lives, and as both my parents were actively involved in the family real estate brokerage, little else was discussed. Herb Neumann Real Estate was a small family owned business. It was never a large player in the local market; however it offered the greatest building block any business could wish for. The reputational foundation provided by Herb Neumann cannot be overstated. It remains a testament to the philosophy that applies equally to individuals and businesses and states: if you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.
Fast forward to 2006, moving Coldwell Banker Neumann Real Estate to our current location, was a conscious decision to apply a basic
business principle to our growing team of successful agents. That principle was basically this: implement a process that makes success most likely, and allow the results to take care of themselves. Metaphorically, you may recognize this as look after the pennies, and the dollars will look after themselves. Simple, yet effective.
The process we implemented in June of 2006 was equally as simple. As a company, Coldwell Banker Neumann Real Estate would commit to:
-
Treat all people fairly
-
Always do the right thing
-
Hire good people and allow them to do their job
-
Provide those good people with the industry’s premier facility, location and support staff and allow them to do what they do best

Why use a Mortgage Professional?
A mortgage professional is an intermediary between a lender (usually a bank) and a borrower (a homebuyer). Banks only sell their own branded products. Mortgage professionals act as an unbiased source to ensure that all potential options are considered, regardless of which lender is ultimately selected to provide funding. The goal of a mortgage professional is to match a lender to a borrower’s specific financial situation and needs.

Photography Partner 2023
I've always considered myself one of the lucky ones. I think it is pure magic to be able to stop time, and capture the utter beauty of simply living. I'm here to give people a return ticket, to show them things they may have missed. To pause the joy, the laughter and the tears for however long I can. I picked up a camera 8 years ago and can't seem to put it down. There are so many beautiful things in this world and if I can capture just half in my lifetime I will be satisfied. I may get crows feet and miss a few moments of my own, but I love what I do, and I wouldn't change it for a second. Sadly life isn't something that slows down, so to all of you beautiful people I will get to meet along the way, cheers to living, I'll take care of the rest.
