REALTOR®, TREC

The same standard of due diligence, applied to the biggest purchase most families ever make.

Licensing & designations

I hold a broker’s licence - the highest level of real estate licensing in Alberta - and practise as an Associate Broker with TREC, licensed across every sector RECA regulates. If your move touches a condo board, an acreage, or a storefront, it is work I am licensed for, not a referral.

Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant financial - and emotional - events of your life. It’s supposed to be exciting. You should be focusing on visualizing your life in a new space, not lying awake at night worrying about neighbourhood trends or whether your offer was too high.

That is exactly why I’m here. My job is to be the safety net, the strategist, and the “warm blanket” for your transaction. I handle the spreadsheets and the due diligence so you can focus on finding the right home. We take the transaction seriously, but we are going to have a lot of fun along the way.

Preparation & due diligence

Before real estate, I spent over two decades working in Calgary’s energy sector. My time in the oil patch instilled a deep appreciation for unwavering due diligence, sharp business acumen, and excellent communication. Today, I apply that same standard of care to helping people transition to their new homes.

Because there is no room for guesswork in a transaction this important, I spent years building my own models over 15 years of Calgary sales records. I want my clients to see the exact, block-by-block reality of their purchase and feel completely empowered in their decisions.

A relationship business

While the data is critical, I know that real estate is ultimately about people. I pride myself on extreme responsiveness and working highly effectively with other agents. Mutual respect, honesty, and clear communication mean fewer hurdles and a much smoother path to the closing table for you.

You focus on falling in love with the house. I’ll make sure the math makes sense.
