Make an Educated Decision

As you may have guessed, I am driven by education. As a designated Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT), I pride myself in being detail-oriented – a very important trait when making one of the BIGGEST decisions of your life. 

Spending extra time with my real estate clients is important to me because education is paramount. I am committed to listening to my clients’ needs and utilizing my keen negotiating skills to ensure a successful transaction.  I have built a network of tradespeople and professionals to ensure your plans in #MyHaliburtonHighlands start off on the best footing. 

Customized marketing plans, professional photography and thorough knowledge of municipal bylaws make listing or buying with me the educated choice.
