Testimonials

History

I’ve lived in Greater Victoria most of my life, and have called many areas of Victoria home, including Saanich, Saanichton, Victoria city, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and Langford over the years.  I currently reside in downtown Victoria.   

Before real estate, I was the founder and proprietor of “Camera Traders”, opened in Fan Tan Alley in the winter 1997.  There I earned a reputation for honest advice and fair dealing and Camera Traders quickly outgrew it's space and moved to Market Square.  In 2006 I took a chance and followed my life-long dream of helping people in real estate.  Despite not being an "extrovert" like many of my colleagues, I found real estate a rewarding and fulfilling challenge.  Eventually I sold the camera shop to my staff in order to focus solely on my new career.  I'm glad to say that today, Camera Traders is still a mecca for local photography enthusiasts and I have helped hundreds of buyers and sellers in their real estate needs.    



Director at the Victoria Real Estate Board -  2012-2013 & 2016-2017 & 2018-2019

Interests, Pastimes and other Experiences

  • Caring for our earth is important to me, which is why I’m try to reduce paper, where possible, through modern tools such as digital online signatures & digital filing.  
  • Past director at the Victoria Real Estate Board.  
  • I am passionate about photography and I have extremely high standards. This means I either hire the best, or take the photos of your home myself. Visual storytelling is essential to quality marketing and it’s something often neglected by other agents. 
  • Personal and spiritual growth and improving interpersonal skills are a lifelong pursuit. I enjoy learning new things about myself, others, and this world we share. 
  • Past volunteer counsellor at Citizens Counselling Centre. Counselling is available at an accessible fee to the people of greater Victoria. Not only is it rewarding to volunteer there, the skills are useful in real estate, as I communicate effectively, with empathy and respect for client needs, & retain smooth interactions with my fellow REALTORS® in negotiations.
  • Interests outside of real estate include trail running, volleyball, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, and most anything else that lets me explore this beautiful West Coast.
