I have always been an investor.

My education is in finance and economics, so I had originally built my career in venture capital and angel investment following the completion of my degree. After spending eight years refining my skills in this area, I felt it was time to diversify my investments and take on some new challenges. I started building my own real estate portfolio and enjoyed every aspect of the process. From searching for the perfect property to different construction methods, property management and the all-important refinance.

When I first began this chapter of building my property portfolio, I never saw myself becoming a REALTOR®. It was only after 2 years, 9 properties and 12 rental units that I found myself wanting to show others how to build their real estate portfolios. Through my own personal real estate adventures, I have gained experience that extends far beyond the average transaction. I can help my clients find hidden value in distressed properties, uncover transactional efficiency, negotiate winning deals, compare various construction methods, and most importantly, make great investments.

I believe in a numbers-based approach to real estate. Whether it’s your first rental property or your primary residence. Real estate is one of the largest transactions you’ll make in a lifetime and an important part of your investment portfolio. If the numbers don’t make sense, then the transaction doesn’t make sense.

That being said, the real estate journey is a long process and smart investors know that you can’t swing at every pitch. I understand this more than anyone and will always be in your corner regardless of the setbacks, near misses or length of the journey to find great investment properties. I have encountered strange and unusual circumstances that have made deals difficult to price and value. However, given my experience as both investor, constructor and developer I can help steer clients away from bad decisions and towards profitable ones.

Community
I was born and raised in the Waterloo region and have strong roots in the community. I have always been a huge supporter of this region and truly believe that it is transforming into the most sought-after region in Canada. There is a perfect storm brewing here of culture, growth, and development and I’d love to show it to you.
