Joanne hails from Calgary, Alberta with an oil and gas background.
She, and a select team of land agents, representing a major petroleum company in 1976, searched, negotiated and acquired 100,000 acres of freehold mineral leases in Southwestern Ontario. Her extensive background in title registry, oil and gas land administration, led her to Toronto when she joined one of Canada's largest natural gas utilities during the "Off Oil Conversions to Natural Gas" years! As a charter member of a morning Toastmasters club, and student of Economics at York University, these motions set the stage for her start in real estate.
Joining RE/MAX Professionals Inc. and becoming licensed in 1986, listing and selling homes in Toronto's west end, developing programs to build client-databases and applying strategic marketing techniques, gave Joanne an edge where property evaluations became a constant, during the high and low ebbs of the real estate market.
She teamed with Robert Pettigrew in 2000 as his, full-time Assistant/Buyer Agent, and continued through and beyond the merging of the "Pettigrew-Estlick" team.
With over 30 years of real estate experience as an independent salesperson and as a support person for agents, she has seen the growing and changing trends of real estate!
On a personal note, Joanne is a golf and sports enthusiast, avid supporter of Canada Guide Dogs and safe practices of the Credit Valley Conservation Authority.
