Sheila Barry and Linda Zylik, two seasoned and successful realtors, together have over 40 years experience in the Real Estate industry. Working independently for many years - Sheila on her own team, Linda with one of the country's largest teams - they decided they wanted to travel a different path for the future. Both had worked their way up the Real Estate ladder, facing challenges along the way and deftly overcoming the obstacles they faced through many different market cycles on the road to success.

Strong work ethic, compassion, intelligence and honesty

Living parallel lives and careers, and although quite different in many ways, Sheila and Linda share many similarities. Both from hardworking immigrant families - Sheila with Irish roots, Linda with an Italian background - they share a strong work ethic, compassion, intelligence and honesty. Their well-documented success in the Real Estate industry today is testament to these core values.

The beginning of a winning partnership

Sheila and Linda connected and realized that they could help more people buy and sell their homes more successfully together than separately. This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship and partnership. A partnership where people can rest assured that their expectations will be exceeded, and where they will be respected and honoured, whether buying the home of their dreams, or getting the most value out of selling their home for the best possible price. Sheila Barry, Linda Zylik and their team blend their unique strengths and abilities to create a dynamic combination that provides their clients with the highest quality, personalized service in Real Estate today. Their individual attributes of empathy, integrity and professionalism produce a winning team that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Successfully serving the GTA

Sheila Barry and Linda Zylik enjoy the many varied and diverse markets they serve, from Oakville and Burlington, to Hamilton, Mississauga and the rest of the GTA. Sheila's Real Estate roots are in Lakeshore Woods - where their team continues to thrive - and it's from there that she was able to grow the business to encompass the additional areas. Sheila and Linda are very grateful to all their clients in all their markets and there's a special warmth for homeowners in Lakeshore Woods in particular.

Contributing to the local community to help it thrive

Sheila and Linda strongly believe that when you give back to the community in which you live and work, you contribute to the strength and well-being of that community. By sponsoring local events and volunteering, as well as donating time and money to various charities, they are devoted to helping their community thrive. Sheila and Linda say they derive much joy and satisfaction from doing so and feel that much of their happiness and success comes from giving back.

Some of the causes, events and organizations their team contributes to, as well as an award, include:

• Annual Pumpkin GiveAway
• Lakeshore Woods Community Clean-Up (sponsor and volunteer for the past 12 years)
• Ash tree re-forestation
• Involvement in and support of their personal church/spiritual organizations
• Sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family of four (three of whom have disabilities)
