Licensed Realtor^® & Developer

I've been a Realtor in Strathcona County since 2002. Becoming a realtor is the easy part, lasting for years is harder. I’ve learned a lot about myself and the needs of the people in my community from serving hundreds of clients. To make it in this industry a realtor has to be highly organized, disciplined, emotionally strong, innovative and adaptive to change. But most of all you have to care about helping people. Prior to becoming a realtor, I worked for 20 years in the hospitality industry managing staff, tight timelines, quality control and handling customer objections. The restaurant business initiated me for the high demands of real estate. But our homes are a lot more than a salad or a steak. We can recover from a bad meal easier than we can recover from a bad home sale or purchase. The difference between a poorly represented and well represented property can be upwards of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
