What does it take to pivot from Broadway to buying and selling homes?
Ken McLachlan sits down with Laura Catalano, a former professional dancer and Broadway performer turned successful Toronto real estate agent.
Laura shares her extraordinary journey—from disciplined years at a brutal ballet boot camp to performing at Lincoln Center and sharing jokes with Mel Brooks, all before seamlessly transitioning into real estate.
She discusses how her intense background in the performing arts prepared her for the rigors of real estate, the power of mentorship, and why taking action always beats waiting for perfect conditions.
