In high school, I used to circle homes in the real estate catalogue and try to convince my dad to go see them. I'd also call out whose roof needed replacing as we drove around the neighbourhood. Some things don't change.

I've been selling homes in Peterborough and the Kawarthas for over 20 years — not because I ended up here, but because I genuinely love this market and the people in it. I know the neighbourhoods, the schools, the streets that flood in spring, and the ones that hold their value.

My clients tell me I say things other agents won't. I'll talk you out of a house that isn't right for you. I'll tell you the truth about price even when it's not what you want to hear. And when a deal gets complicated, I stay calm and I deal with it.

That's not a marketing line. It's what my reviews say.
