Biography

I was first licensed as a Realtor in 1998 and have been the recipient of numerous sales achievement awards including the MLS Medallion Club (residential and commercial), as well as being in the top ten for RE/MAX in Western Canada. Willing to get involved with improving the profession, I have, and continue to, serve on various trade organizations and committees at the local, provincial, and national levels. In 2008, I was elected by my peers to serve as the president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board from 2009-2010. I currently sit on the board of Real Estate Compensation Fund Corporation and am a past director of the BC Real Estate Association.

As a believer in continuing education, I have studied construction at BCIT and am a graduate of the Urban Land Economics program at the University of British Columbia. I also attend numerous seminars, conferences, and courses pertaining to various aspects of the industry. A skilled negotiator, I bring my years of experience to the table. Having earned a reputation for getting the job done, I receive referrals from past clients, as well as fellow real estate agents throughout North America and overseas.
