About Alejandro Baez, Sales Representative
Alejandro Baez
Sales Representative
My name is Alejandro, and my journey from a tiny Cuban town to the bustling city of Toronto is a testament to resilience, determination, and seizing opportunities. Born into a challenging situation, I faced adversity at the age of 18 when my father, the family's sole provider, passed away. With no clear path forward, I took on the role of a Welder's Assistant in an Ice factory and my town's Sugar Mill, earning a meagre income of $5 to $7 monthly. Fueled by the responsibility of supporting my family, I sought new opportunities in the hospitality industry, drawn by the prospect of hotels being built in Cayo Coco. From washing dishes to waiting tables to managing, I immersed myself in every aspect of the industry, not just to make ends meet but to surpass the average Cuban income.
However, the uncertainties of living in a Communist country led me to make a bold decision – to leave Cuba in pursuit of a better life in Canada. Arriving in Toronto, I was captivated by the abundance of opportunities. With unwavering determination, I set out to turn my dreams into reality. Drawing on my experience in the hospitality industry, I initially found work in restaurants.
A few years later, a surprising opportunity emerged – the chance to become a partner in opening a restaurant, a venture that would alter the trajectory of my life. Along this path, I met and married my beautiful wife, laying the foundation for a growing family. The pivotal moment in my career came when my wife suggested a transition to real estate, recognizing my strong customer service background and vibrant personality.
Embracing the challenge, I plunged into the world of real estate, and the decision proved transformative. Today, as a dedicated Realtor, I am driven by a passion for helping people buy, sell, or lease real estate. My business philosophy centers on putting clients first and going above and beyond to ensure the best possible results. My journey from a struggling Welder's Assistant in Cuba to a successful Realtor in Canada reflects my resilience, determination, and commitment to creating a better life for myself and those I serve.
