Description

As a lifelong Niagara resident, I have come to love and appreciate the region and understand how privileged I am to live in this beautiful part of the world. Raised by a "real estate mother", I have always felt a kinship with the business of real estate. I learned early on the satisfaction derived from guiding one’s clients to the home best suited to them. In my own career I have worn many hats and have cultivated a
unique set of skills that allows me to provide value added service to my clients. Before putting on my realtor hat, I ran a full-service, local insurance office. Prior to that, I worked in the commercial construction business and in the interior design business. Throughout my married life, my husband and I have enjoyed buying, renovating, building and selling homes. Besides having earned my Broker license, my formal education includes a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree, an Interior Design degree, insurance and investment licensing, as well as numerous business management courses.

In my spare time, I enjoy family life with an ever expanding family, and the next love of my life, my 2 Portuguese Water dogs. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, but these two have also been a great pastime as we enjoy training and competing together in the dog sports of obedience, rally and water trials.

Energetic, passionate and results driven are the terms that best describe my work ethic. Attentive customer service and client satisfaction have always been my driving factor. I bring that same level of dedication to you, my real estate clients. Integrity, hard work and attention to every detail of your real estate transaction are my utmost concern. Above all, I love making new acquaintances so reach out if you want to talk real estate, design, renovating, or any and all things real estate. This is the job and I love doing it!

Description

The beautiful and historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake has been a town of firsts. It was the first capital of Ontario, had the first newspaper, the first Masonic lodge, the first agricultural society and the first library, and was where the Law Society of Upper Canada was founded. It was here that the first anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire was passed. And now it is the first location in the Niagara region to have a prestigious Sotheby's International Realty Canada office. Located at 14 Queen Street directly across from the Clock Tower; a striking landmark honouring the fallen soldiers of the two World Wars. With restored buildings and charming streetscapes, the office is nestled amongst a parade of unique shops that, even as early as 1781 offered an astounding variety of goods.
The Sotheby’s International Realty Canada name and Niagara-on-the-Lake are a true reflection of a mix of heritage and culture. One of the defining elements of Niagara-on-the-Lake, along with its preserved historic buildings,is the Shaw Festival, a theatre company specializing in the plays of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries. It is also the home to estate and cottage wineries producing award winning bouquets year after year. In the 1990's the town was named by the international Communities in Bloom committee as Canada's prettiest town. It is hard to disagree with that sentiment. A nineteenth century historian said it best when he wrote in the 1890s that Niagara is as near heaven as any town ever.
Over a century later, his words ring true! Our market area includes St. Catharine's, Pelham, Fort Erie, Grimsby, Wainfleet, Welland, Port Colbourne and West Lincoln, Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake; all part of the Niagara Escarpment designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990. The escarpment includes some of Ontario's best camping, swimming, fishing, boating, hiking and viewing, and includes the Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest footpath. The Niagara escarpment creates a microclimate that allows the growing of viniferous grapes (including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling). As a result, the Niagara region is one of the best grape-growing regions in the world.
The Niagara Parkway is the perfect scenic route to the world renowned Niagara Falls; more than a natural phenomenon. The city offers thriving night life, one of a kind sightseeing tours and adventure for all ages. Niagara has increasingly become a golf destination and is home to the oldest golf course in North America - the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club (1875). With all that Niagara region has to offer and our close proximity to Pearson International Airport, St. Catharine's District Airport and Buffalo Airport, owning a vacation property is truly desirable for many of our clients. We are following our vision of becoming the best-known marketer of luxury real estate in the Niagara Region through our delivery of superior service and marketing savvy when managing our client's real estate portfolios.
