About Us

I was born and raised in Toronto. I spent my early childhood growing up in North York. I moved to Newmarket in 1998. Moved back to The Toronto Beaches for 15 years and then returned to Newmarket in 2007 to take care of my aging parents. I was adopted as an infant as my adoptive mother had health issues and could not have any more children. I have an older brother (my adoptive family). I have in recent years reconnected with my birth mother and father and their respective families! Very exciting as I now have three half-sisters and one-half brother. We are getting to know each other more and more as time goes on. I am blessed! 
 
As long as I can remember, I have had a passion and love for Real Estate, decorating, and design. As a small child, I would constantly rearrange and redesign my bedroom, move the furniture around the rest of the house. It wasn't uncommon for my parents to come home after a shopping trip and find the living room rearranged completely. Today my friends and family will call on me for decorating and renovating advice. I absolutely love it!
 
My career began in the Telecommunications Industry. Rogers Television. This was certainly a very exciting time in technological advancements. I assisted with the launch of the very first Pay-TV Channel. The first cellular network and The Internet. This fast-paced and dynamic environment was an incredible opportunity and training ground for all the skills I have acquired to date. I fulfilled roles such as National Sales Trainer, Client Care Services & Marketing Manager, and various sales roles over the years.   
 
After nearly a decade with Rogers, I launched my own Consulting Company. I helped companies create and build call centers and developed their training and education materials for both customers and internal employees. I also assisted in the launch of new companies in Canada such as Star Choice Television (now Shaw). As well as LincSat (now Xplornet Satellite). I even owned a small retail store for a few years.
 
After my divorce, I decided to leave the corporate world. I had always had an interest in renovating homes and took the plunge to invest in a fixer-upper.
Renovating and solving design dilemmas came very naturally to me. Not to mention it was very therapeutic. There was this incredible feeling that would come over me that I can't explain. It just felt so right.

With my background in Design, I was able to draft plans and obtain the proper permits to ensure everything was done properly and to code.
There was a risk and I was fearful of losing all the money I had saved to date. But this did not stop me. I was committed, determined, and driven to make it happen. 
 
Five months later-my first flip was a success. I began to reinvest and continued this model and strategy of improving homes for resale for many years to follow. I have learned many tricks and tips along the way to get the most for your investment as well as what not to do.
 
I used a local top producing agent. I trusted this person unconditionally and never questioned their advice or guidance. I used them for many transactions for years. Unfortunately after one of my last properties- the advice they gave me almost resulted in me losing all of my savings and profit to date. I would have gone bankrupt if I had followed the advice that this agent had given me.
 
 I knew at this moment that this was my purpose, my calling. There was a lack of education, honest and ethical guidance in the Real Estate Industry. Within 6 months of this incident,  I was a licensed Realtor and have never looked back!
  
At the height of my early career in Real Estate, my mother was diagnosed with Ahlzymers. My knowledge broadened by helping my parents find caregivers in the home as well as local community support for families. Taking care of our aging parents/seniors in our community and juggling our children's lives can all be very overwhelming. I sought out higher education, skills, and have obtained specialized accreditations for working with seniors in transitions of various types. 
 
I love animals, all of them! I love nature, being close to water, cottaging, water activities, boating, and swimming are among my favorites. I spend my downtime reading, helping others, entertaining friends and family at the cottage. I love food and good wine. Mostly, I love creating memories with those I care about.
 
I am fortunate to share this passion for helping others in Real Estate with my partner in love and work. We share the same values, ethics, and similar experiences. We complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. We go above and beyond to protect our clients' best interests at all times. We have both personally bought multiple homes and recreational properties. We have helped many seamlessly over the years find that perfect home to ensure that financial goals and personal desires are met. After all, Selling or Buying a Home is usually one's largest financial transaction and investment a person will make in their lifetime.  
 
We absolutely love what we do and we are here to help our clients every step of the way!
