What if the worst experience of your life became the foundation for your greatest success?

In this inspiring episode of Realty Life, Ken McLachlan sits down with top Durham region realtor Dorothy Harrison, who shares the real and raw journey behind her 16-year real estate career. 

From humble beginnings as a young, underestimated homebuyer to becoming a sought-after agent known for her grounded service and unwavering professionalism, Dorothy dives deep into what shaped her ethos. 

She reveals how a negative experience with a dismissive realtor became her greatest motivator, how journaling keeps her centered through the chaos, and how authenticity—not flash—sparked her career’s quantum leap.
