Meet the Faces Behind Our Collective Vision

Originally from South Korea, Ashley Im immigrated with her family to Canada in 1988 to found a successful hospitality business in Toronto's North York suburb. Her disciplined work ethic was instilled in her young formative years, and she worked alongside her family to create a Toronto landmark. Determined to always be the best she could be, Ashley graduated Valedictorian, receiving the prestigious Chawkers scholarship. Although her desire was to attend UBC, she chose to stay close to the family and continue to help with the business, opting to attend York University and later Ryerson University, majoring in Hospitality.

In 2009, when the family eventually sold the business, Ashley was inspired to make her own way. She moved to Alberta, where she applied her education in hospitality as a manager at the Fairmont Hotel in the resort town of Jasper. Later, returning to Toronto, she was offered a position managing Moxie's restaurant in North York. There, she became involved in charity & volunteer work through both The Meeting House and Moxie's Madison. She was also featured in Now magazine for raising funds for Tsunami relief in Japan.

In 2013, Ashley felt she needed to follow her heart and passion in helping people to a higher level. She was always impelled to assist those who were going through difficult times. In order to do so, she needed flexible hours and funds. She was presented with the opportunity to learn about creating sizable wealth in real estate investments. She poured her energy into learning about the real estate industry. 2015 Ashley went all in, became a licensed registrant, and joined Re/max Realtron Realty Inc. Then, in 2016, she partnered with the other co-founders to launch Re/max Realtron Smart Choice Team, Brokerage.
