For Buyers

Many of my past clients have coined a term that they feel accurately describes me: “Frealtor”. As your Frealtor, I’m half-friend, half-Realtor. House-shopping with me is fun, every single time. Your favorite tunes on the car radio, your favorite Starbucks beverage in the cupholders, great conversation about things OTHER than real estate as often as we do talk about real estate, and a relaxed, comfortable approach to searching for your new home.

But don’t think that just because we’re having fun, that we’re missing key items in finding a home. You’ll learn important things to look for when viewing property, like how to tell the condition of a roof and windows, what cracks in the basement are acceptable, how to look at electric panels and how to determine which walls are supporting, and which can be blown out. Spotting some of these issues yourself can save time, money and heartbreak before bringing in a home inspector.

I’ll also teach you how to determine curb appeal and features that will affect your resale potential so you can feel confident in your decision to purchase before we ever put pen to paper. I’ll help you crunch numbers to determine affordability and/or profitability whether it’s your first home, your 20th home, or an investment property. We’ll work the numbers now so you can make any changes necessary to your budget for whenever you’re ready to buy in the future. If you’re looking for contractors to help spruce up your home, incredible lawyers to ensure your closing goes smoothly while keeping you protected, home inspectors who are astoundingly knowledgeable and understandable, mortgage brokers who will get you the best rates possible or anyone else, I have experience working with many. I’ve built my referral business on first-hand experiences with companies and individuals who match my quality of service. You won’t be disappointed in any of the extensions of my service I offer.

So, you’ll have a great time finding the perfect home within whatever budget, time-frame and pace you set. Why wait? Let’s build our relationship now so when you’re ready to make a move, it’s an easy task to start.

  • Under Construction

    While Wordpress is a wonderful web-building tool, it can be frustrating and sensitive to occasional users like myself. I recently made an error that wiped the entire website I'd been building for over a year.

    I apologize in advance that there is currently little content here. My previous blog posts, informative pages, testimonials and listing history was mistakenly deleted, and I had neglected to save a copy. I learned a big lesson that day!

    I'm working to rebuild my site to the home base of information it once was, but that will take some time. As the winter is a busy time in my business, I ask you to please check back in the spring. Better yet, contact me directly and I'll answer any and every question about me, my business, or real estate in Oakville and southern Ontario in general immediately.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding. Now go play in the snow!
