About Gary Hibbert:


http://www.smarthomechoice.ca//


I grew up in Courtice, Ontario, a small town approximately 50 minutes east of Toronto. I grew up as a first generation Canadian with very proud Jamaican parents. The culture I grew up in taught me ethics, integrity and discipline from a young age. I did not realize back then, these same values would make me into the person I am and what my company stands for today.
For the most part of my career I worked for a major financial institution, in the IT sector. I enjoyed the rat race for over a decade and decided I could no longer live pay cheque to pay cheque. Earn more, pay more- there were no tax breaks for the salary driven middle class. I saturated my bookshelf with literature from people who had what I wanted… Freedom. Economic Freedom, Political Freedom and Personal Freedom.


In a very few short years I had started my own Real Estate Investing Company, became a licensed Realtor, published a Real Estate Investing Book, and assisted in brokering over $14 million in real estate transactions.



The key to success is self confidence. The key to self confidence is preparation. Mistakes are an important part of success. Each mistakes teaches us an important lesson.



Everything you need is within you.
