Tondalaya Adiansingh

Biography

Cutler Real Estate asked Tondalaya a few questions so you can get to know her better, and here are Tondalaya's replies.

1. What is your professional/educational background?

I attended The Ohio State University with a major in Accounting and a minor in Fashion. I pursued a career in the retail industry where I refined my skills in merchandising, marketing and sales while building meaningful relationships with clients. I was helping others invest in their wardrobe, when one day I realized I could help people invest in themselves in a much larger and possibly more meaningful way. I acquired my real estate license in 2004 and hit the ground running. Aside from being a real estate agent, I also renovate homes.

2. Why did you choose a career in real estate?

Many factors played into this decision. I needed to take another look at my career in retail. The hours were no longer working with my lifestyle of being a new mom, but I knew I wanted to continue working with people and bring some joy to their lives. Some of the clients I worked with had careers in real estate and enjoyed it. I have a keen eye for detail and have always been drawn towards design, specifically fashion and interior design. So it seemed like a natural progression in my career, to challenge myself in a new direction while staying true to what I enjoy the most: people and design.

3. What area do you live in currently and what do you like about where you live?

I have roots in many neighborhoods in Columbus and I think each neighborhood has something special to offer. I currently live in Grandview with my family. I love the accessibility to greater Columbus, it is close to my children's school and has a great community.

4. How do you spend your free time?

I enjoy renovating houses/apartments, traveling and spending time with my three sons and husband.

5. In one word, how do you think your friends/family would describe you?

Thoughtful
