Peggy Hill
Barrie, Ont.

Just over a decade ago, Peggy Hill was flipping burgers at her family’s restaurant. After the restaurant was sold, Hill had to find a way to provide for herself and her parents, and real estate was the answer. After working for a couple of big-name brokerages, Hill decided to open her own business. That leap of faith has paid off big time; in 2013, Hill’s team posted nearly $91 million in sales volume.
