REAL ESTATE IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE

Despite recent slowdowns in some markets, housing remains a good long-term investment, and demographic demand favors housing over the long term.

Homeownership offers  immediate benefits and long-term value.

Homeowners accumulate wealth for the future while enjoying the benefits of a shelter that they can use, improve and sell.

Professional Interests

My professional interests are keeping connected with the local Brighton community and markets to better serve my clients and to stay informed on political decisions affecting Real Estate. Being a more active member of the Municipality of Brighton

Personal Background

I was born in Hertforshire England. I immigrated to Canada in 1974 with my family, where we called the wonderful city of Toronto home. I met my husband by chance in Toronto, who was also originally from England. We married in our early twenties, and we have 2 fantastic kids; a boy and a girl. We moved to the "Dinosaur Capital of the World" Drumheller, Alberta for my Husband's employment, and spent 10 years in the "Badland's". The population of Drumheller is about 6500; which was a nice change of pace from Toronto, but we missed our family who were all still in Ontario. So in late 2006, we made another trip across Canada, and settled in the Brighton Area.

Community Involvement

I am active within my community of Brighton by way of lending support to causes in the area.

Professional Background

I have a strong background in Customer Service and Business Administration. I believe that buying or selling a home does not need to be stressful, nor challenging given the right person working on your team. A high level of dedication to every transaction is required, along with excellent communication and negotiating skills. I would love the opportunity to serve you in your next endeavour.
