About Me

Share this page

Real estate is a fantastic career. Working with a variety of buyers and sellers over the last 20 years has been a learning opportunity and an ongoing educational process–it challenges me to be the best I can.

My biggest reward in my role as a Realtor is in helping clients buy and sell real estate. When that perfect opportunity presents itself and I can be part of the realization of your goals or your dream…those are the moments I remember.

I embrace integrity as the guiding principal to every decision I make. Quite possibly the most important aspect of my relationship with you is our communication. Clear, honest, timely, and accurate communication. As we work together, our relationship will evolve and change, but it’s important that the core value of mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s point of view will always remain.

My mission is simple: to promise a lot and deliver more. How do I do that? By communicating clearly, listening to my clients’ needs, providing remarkable service to clients while keeping in mind my guiding principles, and fairly representing my clients in the attainment of their real estate goals.

To put it simply, I never forget that I am working for you. I hold integrity, strength, honour, family, perseverance, patience, knowledge and balance as key aspects of my life, and apply those values to every part of my work as a real estate agent.

Why The Elephant?

The elephant became my symbol because of its meaning both physically, symbolically and spiritually. The elephant represents strength, honour and patience, which aligns with my personal values. Any decisions I make flow from that source of inspiration.

The Elephant
Represents Community


Fiercely protective, all elephants in the herd protect the young and the elders as if they were their own. They are individuals, all with their own personality–but maintain a strong bind to their family and community. They show that through communication, commitment, and gentleness, all our relationships (family, friends, and business associates) will thrive.

The Elephant
Represents Perseverance


In the dry season, the African elephants travel over 1,000 kilometres across the Serengeti for water. They have no identifying landmarks, just the innate knowledge and memory of where the water is. In this yearly monumental endeavour, all the elephants trust in the matriarchs lead, and follow her to the end. This odyssey, without food or water is a phenomenal display of their drive and perseverance.

The Elephant
Represents Overcoming Obstacles


Spiritually, Ganesha is the Lord of success and the remover of obstacles and evils. He is also worshipped as the god of education and wisdom. Gagnesh is portrayed as a man with an elephant head, which symbolizes the Atman, or the soul, and his human body represents Maya, or the earthly existence of humans.

I Believe That Successful Relationships Are Built On Trust.
