I have big news!

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined Royal LePage NRC Realty, Brokerage, as a licensed REALTOR® I’ll be working out of the Royal LePage Grimsby office. I am still a mortgage broker, but now able to access more tools as a REALTOR®.

As a mortgage broker for 25 years, I’ve had the privilege to work on purchase-and-sale transactions for thousands of home-buying and selling clients, and I’ve had to interact with many REALTORS®, lawyers, and appraisers in that time. I’ve become a skilled negotiator, communicator, problem-solver - all in pursuit of my clients’ mortgage interests. These well-honed skills will serve us well on your next real estate venture.

I can now provide you with a complete, end-to-end service that covers everything from selling your home, finding your next home, to securing financing for that home. By entrusting me with this dual role, you will have a trusted advisor by your side throughout the entire home-buying and home-selling process. My goal is to be your go-to person for anything “real estate”!

If you are curious to know what your home is worth, I’d be happy to provide you with a complimentary market valuation. And I assure you that there will be zero pressure on you to act - I simply appreciate any opportunity to practice valuations.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any real estate or mortgage questions you might have. I appreciate your confidence and trust, and I am excited to serve you in this new expanded capacity.
