In 1995, while on holiday to the West Coast, I fell in love with the beauty and splendour of British Columbia – so much so that I decided to leave the frigid Toronto winters behind and relocate post-haste to magnificent Vancouver Island. Over the course of the next nine years, I went on to hold management positions in the food, beverage and hospitality industries, before ultimately transitioning into the real estate industry on a full-time basis in 2004.
With over 20 years of experience as a BC licensed real estate agent, I have acquired a wide breadth of knowledge and expertise. I have extensive experience in all types of residential real estate sales, and I have represented clients in transactions ranging from residential re-sale, to condo developments, to 700+ unit planned communities. I have lived and worked in Sooke, downtown Victoria, and most recently on the peninsula in North Saanich, so I am intimately familiar with the neighbourhoods and real estate market in the greater Victoria area.
To smoothly navigate my clients through the complexities of the buying and selling process, I continually stay abreast of the myriad of ever-changing legislation and regulations governing the real estate industry. I take pride in my strong work ethic, and I am committed to working tirelessly for my clients. I am an excellent communicator, committed to a client-centric service with an affable approach, and I enjoy working with everyone from first-time home buyers to seniors looking to downsize.
I firmly believe in giving back to the community, and to that end I proudly support a number of local charities including ORCCA, the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank, BC Children's Hospital, and 100+ Women Who Care Victoria. When I’m not on the phone with a client or working at my desk, you will find me enjoying one of my favourite activities: preparing a homemade meal with locally grown ingredients to share with family and friends, hiking in the woods with Trixie - my beloved Bichon-Shih Tzu cross - or tending to my garden.
My professional philosophy is rooted in an unwavering commitment to honesty, integrity, and authenticity, and I will be the first one to dissuade a client from making a purchase if I feel it’s ultimately not in their best interest. While I am honoured to be the recipient of numerous Gold and Silver MLS awards, at the end of the day, more than anything I strive to exceed my client’s expectations.
YOUR HAPPINESS IS MY SUCCESS
