Your Trusted Advisor in Real Estate in Metro Vancouver – With 18 years as a licensed REALTOR®, 19 years as a Personal Financial Services Officer, and Hundreds of Homes Sold, I bring a powerful blend of real estate expertise and financial insight. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing, my goal is to make your experience informed, seamless, and rewarding - always with a focus on your long term success.

My 19 year tenure at ATB Financial as a Personal Financial Services Officer and Mutual Fund Specialist equipped me with deep expertise in mortgage solutions, refinancing strategies, and wealth building through real estate. This financial background gives me a distinct advantage as a REALTOR®, allowing me to:

🔹 Decode complex financing challenges to ensure every decision aligns with your short-term needs and long term goals.
🔹 Strategically structure transactions—whether buying (to optimize terms) or selling (to maximize returns).
🔹 Empower you with financial clarity, transforming uncertainty into confidence at every stage.

What sets me apart is this dual perspective - I understand not just properties, but the financial plans and life goals they support. My banking experience taught me that the best decisions come from combining numbers with nuance, which is why I prioritize:

🔸 Listening carefully to your unique situation.
🔸 Educating you transparently about all options.
🔸 Providing tools for financial stability beyond the transaction.

In 2007, I transitioned from banking to real estate full time, bringing my financial expertise directly to my clients. This shift allowed me to guide people more personally through one of life’s most significant financial and emotional journeys.

What began as a career in finance has evolved into a passion for helping people make empowered real estate decisions, ones that not only change their housing situation but often shape their futures.

Since 2007, I have had the privilege of guiding hundreds of clients through their real estate journeys. Yet, my understanding goes beyond professional experience, it is deeply rooted in my own journey as both a homeowner and investor.

Homeownership: A Personal Perspective

I have been a homeowner since 2000, and each property has taught me invaluable lessons:
🔹 Acreage living showed me the joys and challenges of rural life.
🔹 In town living revealed the trade offs between space and convenience.
🔹 Returning to acreage reinforced that every move carries unique emotional and practical considerations.

Having navigated multiple life transitions ~ from young homeowner to growing family to empty nester ~ I understand firsthand the stresses and triumphs of each stage. This lived experience allows me to anticipate your concerns before they arise and offer empathetic, practical guidance.

Investment Properties: Real World Insights for Investors

My experience also includes owning three rental properties, giving me firsthand insight into the investor’s mindset. I’ve successfully:
🔸 Evaluated cash flow potential and long-term appreciation.
🔸 Managed tenant relationships and property maintenance.
🔸 Balanced risk while building a portfolio.

This hands on experience allows me to advise investors with practical knowledge, not just theory. Whether you are purchasing your first rental or expanding your portfolio, I know the questions you should be asking because I have asked them myself.

Behind every great real estate journey is a team that believes in you. My family has taught me that success - whether on the soccer field or in real estate - comes from commitment, resilience, and trust.

⚽ Lessons from the Sidelines: Turning Challenges into Victories

For five years, I had the honour of managing Braxton’s BTB Soccer Academy team, guiding them from uncertain beginnings to national champions in 2019. What started as a group of underdogs transformed into a powerhouse team through strategic planning, adaptability, and unwavering support.

Meanwhile, my sons, Jaden and Braxton, competed in elite tournaments across North America and on the international stage in Spain, where they showcased their discipline and teamwork against some of the best youth players in the world.

These experiences instilled in me values that now shape my approach to real estate:
🔹 Preparation: Whether staging a home or preparing a strategic offer, success comes from meticulous planning.
🔹 Adaptability: Just like shifting game strategies, I adjust quickly to market changes to protect your interests.
🔹 Resilience: I navigate challenges with persistence, ensuring you stay focused on your long-term goals, even through setbacks.

🏥 The Next Chapter: From Soccer Fields to Science Labs

Today, Jaden and Braxton are studying biological sciences at Simon Fraser University (SFU), with ambitions to enter the medical field. Their dedication to their studies is a daily reminder that great achievements are built on passion and perseverance, values I carry into my work with clients.

💡 Why This Matters for Your Move

The same values that shaped my family’s victories now guide how I serve you:
🔸 Discipline – Laser-sharp attention to every contract detail.
🔸 Perseverance – Tenacity in negotiations, never settling for less.
🔸 Support – You’ll always have me in your corner, fiercely advocating for your goals.

“Just as I stood by my sons through every game, I’ll be by your side through every step of your real estate journey.”
