FIRST TIME BUYERS

Through my work as a Scarborough City Councillor; as a small business owner; as a High School teacher; and as a planning consultant to the Real Estate industry, I have dealt with thousands of people in all walks of life and income levels and have sold properties to many first time buyers.

I enjoy working with first time buyers and I get a great deal of satisfaction in seeing people move into their dream home and leave behind the rental experience. I am known by my clients for my patience and determination in finding the right home at the right price and ensuring customer satisfaction from the initial introduction to the moving day and afterwards.

Over the past several years I have been very disappointed in the ability of first time buyers to obtain proper financing and as a result have recently put together an exceptional team of mortgage specialists who get results even in "hard to finance" cases. I can assure you that with 25 years of success in Real Estate, this is the best team in the business. 

If you are a first time buyer, I look forward to meeting you and finding you a home at an affordable price with "hassle free" attention paid to all your needs.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Combined with an Honours degree in Planning and Graduate Studies in Environmental Science as well as many years as a City Councillor, I have the background to understand the planning and zoning needs of developers and buyers of commercial and industrial properties.

With my knowledge of the potential or best use of a property and how to maximize its use, buyers can expect to make wise and profitable decisions in the purchase and sale of their properties.

I have sold and leased small businesses, land, factories and an assortment of commercial properties over the years and can offer you the benefit of my experience as one of the more knowledgeable Commercial Realtors in Ontario, especially in the Greater Toronto Area.

In addition to my planning and municipal experience in the GTA, I have extensive knowledge of the tourism, cottage and campground industry of Ontario. My background includes previous employment by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Industry in South Eastern Ontario and extensive travels throughout the province as the former Executive Field Secretary of the Ontario Private Campgrounds Association, as well as being the owner of a successful Specialty Advertising business selling products to the resort industry. As a result of these diverse and valuable experiences, I am very familiar with the Ontario tourism industry and the uniqueness of different parts of the province in terms of planning and development potential.

I can effectively interface with planners and politicians as well as community individuals and groups to determine the issues and planning obstacles and recommend the best approach to maximizing the development and use of a property. This is part of my service when I sell or purchase a property for my clients.

I look forward to meeting you and discussing with you my "one step service" in Commercial Real Estate Sales.
