REALTOR®, SRS, ABR®, RENE

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home, you want the process to go successfully. If you’re selling, success means getting your property sold quickly and for the highest price possible. If you’re buying, it means finding your next dream home and getting into it, affordably. On top of that, if you’re like most of my satisfied customers, you also want everything to go smoothly, with as little stress as possible.

How can you ensure all that happens? By working with a real estate agent who truly puts you first.

Becoming a REALTOR® was an accident for me. A happy accident. Let me explain.

My father was a Bank Manager and very focused on creating a legacy of wealth for his children. Real Estate was one way he did this. Growing up, I have fond memories of touring investment homes with him. I loved exploring the homes. Even as a young kid, I knew I’d somehow find a way to be involved with homes. I just didn’t know how.

As I got older, I was encouraged to go to University. So I did. I was interested in the outdoors and I actually Joined the Canadian Armed Forces. I wanted to either be a Lawyer or maybe a Police Officer. However, by the time I graduated with my Degree in Psychology, I’d gotten engaged.

Life sort of evolved from there. I got married, and had two beautiful daughters. I never pursued my original dreams of being a Police Officer or Lawyer. My experience with Real Estate was just personal. I grew up in Toronto and like so many, ended up in a rural area north of the GTA due to affordability. This transition was quite eye opening – what is a septic system? Over time I expanded my portfolio and purchased an investment property in cottage country. Another learning experience. But Real Estate was not on my radar, yet. I was busy raising 2 kids and driving all over the place to for their activities.

My actual career of 25 years had nothing to do with Real Estate. I spent over 20 years in the Social Services Sector working with individuals with an Acquired Brain Injury and Physical Disabilities. When I first began I was a Counsellor and my role was to go into people homes and help them navigate and make a plan to cope with their massive change in life. They were experiencing a huge life transition with adjusted roles and a lot of emotional turmoil. As I progressed through my career I held several Senior management positions. My skills became all about communications, negotiation, and supporting people in transitions.

Then a big life change hit me, what I like to call “the great divide”. A Divorce. Suddenly I was hit with downsizing, becoming an empty nester, dealing with the emotional turmoil of moving, leaving the family home, AND facing financial challenges about my future. All at the same time!

It’s at this crazy time a friend suggested I would be great at Real Estate. My initial reaction was “you’re crazy, I’m a people person, a helper, not a salesperson” But I found myself thinking of needing extra money and thinking of my retirement. So, I went for it. I worked full time, took care of my ailing Father, and went to school and got my Real Estate Licence.

The rest is history. I soon realized, that the skills I had of great communication, negotiating relationships, supporting people through life changes, and being a genuine “helper“ was in-fact the hallmark of a great Realtor®. I traded my career of helping people with Acquired Brain Injuries make life transitions to helping families make life transitions through real estate.

Now my goal is to help you feel supported and understood, coupled with superior services. I personally understand that your home is so much more than bricks and mortar. There is emotion and memories.. So becoming a Realtor was just a happy accident allowing me to continue my journey of helping others fulfill their dreams.

Now I’m committed to creating services that help streamline this moving process for other homeowners that are looking to do the same.

The Expert by Your Side

When you’re selling: My track record of success means I know how to showcase your house effectively, market and promote it so that it attracts qualified buyers and get it SOLD for the highest price. Throughout the process, I’m with you every step of the way, making sure your questions are answered, all the details are handled expertly, and the entire experience is a positive one.

When you’re buying: My expertise in the local market means I can introduce you to homes that meet your criteria – and notify you immediately of brand new listings. I can advise you on what to look for when viewing a home, so you don’t make a catastrophic mistake, and I can arm you with in-depth details on every property you see. When you find a home you fall in love with, I know how to negotiate effectively so you get that property, at the best possible price. In fact, nothing pleases me more than saying, “The home is yours.”

In addition to bringing tremendous experience though helping many families, I believe in continually sharpening my skills though ongoing education. Taking the extra time to learn new skills and ways to support you is important to me. 

Seller Representative Specialist SRS® 

The Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation means I have an elevated skill set in professionally and ethically representing you. Wouldn’t you want someone to represent you who has taken the time to learn how to support you best and mitigate any risks WHILE maximizing your outcomes?

ABR® – Accredited Buyer’s Representative® Designation
The ABR® designation means I am equipped with the skills, knowledge and techniques to effectively represent you in the buying process. Believe it or not, helping buyers uses a different skill than helping sellers!  I will help you find the right property, and work on mitigating the risks associated with buying. I have also been known to have a little fun along the way

RENE -The Real Estate Negotiation Expert 

Did you know that there is no formal negotiations training in Real Estate College? Negotiating is a skill that must be learnt and has a lot to do with Psychology. Handling a wide range of personalities, situations, and competing objectives takes skill and expertise.  The RENE course is designed to support Realtors in improving these skills. I am also trained in advanced Negotiation and Alternative Dispute Resolution strategies by the STITT FELD HANDY GROUP. All these tools help me help you get the results we want.

The Right Real Estate Agent for You

Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s ultimately about realizing a dream. I understand how much the decision will mean to you. In fact, that’s one of the reasons I became a real estate agent – to help people buy or sell a home, while making the process easy and trouble-free. Clients often tell me how much they appreciate my expertise, my willingness to be there with them every step of the way, and my determination to get them the best deal. They also tell me I’m friendly and a pleasure to work with – which is quite a compliment!

Next Steps

If you’re looking for a real estate agent, it’s important that you find someone who is a good fit for you. So let’s talk. Whether you’re selling or buying, I’d like to learn more about you and your needs and goals. You can count on me to “tell it like it is” and give you a realistic picture of what is possible.

As a real estate agent who puts clients first, I look forward to hearing from you.
