Five years in the making, Ambitious Realty Advisors celebrated the grand opening of their beautifully designed offices at 180 James Street South. Ambitious actually only started business six months ago, I say five years because that\u2019s how long the Broker of Record Derek Doyle has had this goal written down.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has goals but I don\u2019t think everyone writes their goals down. And I\u2019ve made a point for over six years to write every goal down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Doyle started as an agent for Royal LePage in 2009 before leaving to start Ambitious Realty in May with partners Joe Accardi and Anthony Quattrociocchi.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal from day one of starting in real estate was to start my own brokerage. I never intended to remain working in a company.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Doyle (28) thought it would have taken closer to ten years for him to realize this dream. For his success, he credits his supportive friends and colleagues. \u201cI could only do that because of the team I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doyle has had his eyes set on downtown for awhile, but he says he grew weary when the company he worked for didn\u2019t seem to see the same potential he did.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent almost five years at Royal LePage, a big national company, 300 realtors in Hamilton alone. And that was a great place for me to start and learn the ropes,\u201d said Doyle. \u201cI reached a certain point in my career where I felt the support I needed wasn\u2019t there, but also, I felt that the support that was available wasn\u2019t the direction I was going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doyle stuck with downtown, and committed himself, starting his workday at 5:00 a.m. and working many late nights.<\/p>\n

He says he didn\u2019t really play on competitive sports teams growing up and was a self-described average student. However, he speaks highly of working competitively, having discipline and checking his gut. \u201cMy gut instinct right now, I think, is about 99 per cent accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ambitious-realty-sign\"<\/a>Opening this new office was a gut decision for he and his partners. When Doyle, Accardi and Quattrociocchi looked at the space, they decided they were going to completely demolish it to the walls and build 15 offices, 20 work stations, 2 boardrooms and a 75-seat presentation space… and they did it. Oh, and at that time, Doyle was the only registered realtor with the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew if we built this, they would come,\u201d said Doyle. And now, six months in, eight new realtors have come to join the Ambitious Team.<\/p>\n

\"ambitious-realty-offices\"<\/a>Now, the glass-walled office is complete, and in two days more than 300 people passed through to help them celebrate.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone coming in here says \u2018This feels like Toronto. This feels like New York. This feels like Chicago,\u2019 and I say, \u2018No, it doesn\u2019t. This is Hamilton,\u2019 and then I slap a ‘Proud Hamiltonian’ sticker on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doyle, who almost left Hamilton several years ago, says he\u2019s happy he stayed. He\u2019s happy to convert Torontonians, happy to work with such a great team, and be part of such a supportive community.<\/p>\n
