MICHELE GULKA

Michele Gulka of Stoney Creek, Ontario, is celebrating her recent return to the real estate industry alongside Golden Group Real Estate, part of RE/MAX Escarpment Realty Inc., Brokerage, at the Queenston location. She’s excited to bring her insider’s expertise, penchant for organic interpersonal networking, and dedication to candor to all of Ontario. “We really pride ourselves on honesty, integrity, and being transparent. We’re knowledgeable and thorough, and we think about our clients, not transactions. When we reflect on our business, we don’t concern ourselves with quantity – we focus exclusively on quality.”

Originally, Michele became a registered REALTOR® in her early twenties, but took a leave of absence to start a family and launch an adjacent business. “I fell in love with real estate, but the only thing I loved more were my two daughters,” she recalls. “While I raised them, my husband and I started Rock Solid Home Inspections, and we built that company together from the ground up.” While raising her family, Michele managed the day-to-day operations of the business, and now that her daughters are seven and nine, she has staged her revival within her lifelong career after adding a deep understanding of architecture and construction.

Since her return to the industry in January of 2023, Michele is reconnecting with former clients through a variety of media. Golden Group leverages a multifaceted marketing strategy with a robust print and digital footprint, including Christmas gifts, birthday cards, pop-bys, and a large presence on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook (with listings bolstered by Adwerx). “The world is a much smaller place than you believe it is initially. I’m excited to discover new opportunities while reconnecting with past clients, and helping people move to the next chapter in their lives. Helping someone find that dream home, teaching them about construction, or guiding them to become an investor; I love being able to educate people on how that works – building equity and growing a portfolio. I’m a property investor myself, so my clients already benefit from that financial knowledge and opportunity.”

As she grows alongside her team, Michele is excited to deepen her connections with her colleagues and community. Golden Group Real Estate systematically creates quarterly goals, reviews their progress, and encourages one another to stoke their ambition; while simultaneously dedicating an equal amount of time to their local cities and towns. “Every season, as a team, we’ll do a food drive or sponsor something for the community. This summer we are planning a ‘Free Swim’ day where we will pay for pool admissions at the community center. And just before Easter we did a food drive to support the food bank in Mississauga.” As a collective, the team is dedicated to balanced and connected growth, and they pride themselves on mutual success and constant collaboration.

When she’s not growing her business or connecting with her neighborhood, Michele spends time with her two daughters, her husband, and her dogs. “I love being with the people I care about, and just making good memories. That’s what life is all about, and at its core, so is real estate!”
