ABOUT DARREN VILLENEUVE

PROFESSIONALLY

I have had the opportunity and good fortune to be able to try a number of things over my 56 years.  From cleaning swimming pools, washing dishes, and bussing tables to operating several of my own successful, small businesses, including one doing residential renovations and one transporting new and used vehicles with my son and now partner. The longest tenure thus far and certainly one of the most successful is having spent over 30 years in the sales department of the automotive industry. I have sold cars, trucks, and RV's, managed and trained many salespeople as a sales manager, and have also spent approximately 10 years in the finance office helping people secure financing for their purchases. However, by far the most gratifying career choice has been and continues to Real Estate. For over 16 years I have truly enjoyed getting up each and every morning realizing, that I am able to have such a positive impact on so many people with, in some cases, the biggest financial decision of their lives. Getting to know my clients and their families along with their particular needs and desires is extremely rewarding. Seeing their smile when they get their keys on the day of closing is priceless. The decision to get into Real Estate was an easy one. With my past experience in customer service, sales, finance, and residential construction, it was the perfect fit for me, it gave me the background to help my clients every step of the way. Since 2007 I have never regretted that decision and am now looking very much forward to the next chapter, alongside my son. What could possibly be more flattering than to have your child follow in your footsteps.

PERSONALLY

I have been happily married to my wonderful wife since 1990, she has taught me so much over the years, she’s a terrific person and frankly, it just keeps getting better year after year. I have two grown kids. Sam is 29 years old and Ally is 24 years old. I couldn't possibly be more proud of them. They have turned out to be intelligent, caring, compassionate, and overall good human beings, what more can a parent ask for. Ally is in her final year of securing her Masters, studying  Neuroscience. She mentioned that she chose this field of study to figure me out. “Good luck with that young lady!”. I have volunteered with my community "neighbourhood watch" for many years, I have coached soccer for several years and, in general, I try to live my life with integrity, honesty and I always treat people the way I would like to be treated, its a "can't lose" philosophy.

My name is Darren Villeneuve. I am proud to be a Realtor and I would be very proud to represent you and your family!
