Professionally, I started my career at Macdonald Realty in the 1990s and have specialized in the Westside/Downtown condominium and townhouse market. I have also worked in Asia for industry-related companies allowing additional understanding of Vancouver's diverse customer base. My higher production volumes have been acknowledged with eight Macdonald Realty Sales Achievement Awards and a 2007 Award of Excellence. I am rather proud and certainly appreciative that 90% of all recent sales have been made by past clients or as a result of recommendations made by past clients.
The strata market has evolved greatly in my career with new construction techniques, retrofitting of defective designs, and very complex changes to governing legislation. Through this time, I am known to have maintained expert product knowledge, dedication, and my sense of humour. You may learn more about my style by visiting my sales strategy page and my sales performance page. In 2006, In order to provide better service to my clients I joined forces with Lynne Pement of Macdonald Realty. This is allowed me to offer more viewing opportunities for my listings, extra exposure, and to call on her vast knowledge of the "House Market" on East and the West side. The over-all conditions change daily and Lynne's second opinion has proven to be invaluable in every aspect.
On the personal side, I grew up in Nova Scotia but fell in love with the vibrancy of Vancouver and the beauty of the West Coast. I still have strong family ties back there and that helps me recharge a "some-what" relaxed East Coast attitude. Travel has always been my number one diversion and I have been around the world satisfying that. Recently, I discovered boating and am happily exploring that on the local waters. Otherwise, my downtime is very grounding: landscape design, upgrading my townhouse, and endeavouring for a proper level of fitness - like running in Pacific Sprit Park (weather permitting). I also truly enjoy fine-tuning this website and trying to come up with creative ideas for it. Frankly, a good balance of life makes for a great work attitude and judgement such as simply knowing you need a quick break between photo shoots!
"My goal is not an exceptional number of listings.... just a number of exceptional ones!"
