The Art & Science of the Deal
I’m Adam Ainsworth. Before I was a Licensed REALTOR® and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), I spent 15 years in the high-stakes world of advertising sales in Toronto and New York City.
My background isn’t in writing news; it’s in engineering demand. I worked directly with major condo developers and builders, sitting in boardrooms to map out how to sell massive new construction projects to unique audiences. My job was to use data, psychology, and persuasion to move inventory in competitive markets.
Today, I bring that same “Big Developer” energy to residential real estate in Whitchurch-Stouffville, North York, and the GTA.
Why does this matter to you? Most agents just put a sign on the lawn and wait. I approach your home sale like a product launch.
Targeting, not just Listing: I don’t just look for “buyers”; I identify the specific demographic your home appeals to and go find them.
Executive Negotiation: As a former ad executive, I’ve negotiated deals far more complex than a standard home purchase. I don’t get rattled, and I don’t leave money on the table.
The House of Worth System: This isn’t a checklist; it’s a corporate-grade market
Whether you are buying your first home or selling a luxury estate, you deserve representation that understands the art of the deal.
The Toolkit
Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®)
Most agents ‘wing it’ when an offer comes in. I don’t.
As a designated Certified Negotiation Expert, I have been trained in the specific tactical approaches required to protect your equity. From ‘Anchoring’ price discussions to navigating multiple-offer leverage points, I treat your money with the same rigor a corporate merger demands.
The Result: We don’t leave money on the table.
The Psychology of the Sale (Dale Carnegie Training)
Real estate isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about people.
Drawing on advanced training from the Dale Carnegie Institute, I apply the principles of human relations and influence to every transaction. Whether it’s keeping a deal together when emotions run high, or subtly influencing a buyer’s agent to prioritize our offer, I use the psychology of persuasion to engineer a ‘Yes’ without aggressive sales tactics.
