About
In addition to my real estate license, I have a diploma in Interior Design, I am a Luxury Specialist, a designated SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), and CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert).
Born on Saltspring Island, I was raised in Victoria. My University years took me to Vancouver, Los Angeles (Interior Design), and finally, Halifax, where I majored in Political Science and Economics. Moving back to Victoria, I purchased, renovated and sold numerous homes over 20 years before deciding to take the final step and "sell those homes myself". Easier said than done, I learned very quickly...and subsequently followed the path to become a professional Realtor.
I was first licensed as a Realtor in 2001. Using my skills as an interior designer, I keep a full storage locker for staging properties, a complimentary service for my Sellers. I have several videos to share that explain the importance of a well-staged home.
I am a very proud Mother and Grandmother. When I am not working with Buyers & Sellers, I can be found on the tennis court, golf course, cycling, or navigating along our magnificent west coast.
I love meeting with people to discuss their real estate needs & wants. No question is too elementary, I am here to help!
Give me a call/text/email and let's get together.
