At heart, I'm a farm girl. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of fresh air and farm work or the serenity of sitting atop a horse—these simple, grounding moments truly bring me joy. But beyond the farm, I have another passion that runs just as deep—real estate.
My journey as a realtor is driven by the same values I hold dear in my farm life: dedication, hard work, and a commitment to doing things the right way. I find it nearly impossible to list a house "as is" when I know there’s potential to make it shine brighter and sell for more. Similarly, I can’t stand by while my buyers settle for a home that’s just "okay" when I know there’s something better out there for them. I put my heart into every transaction, treating each home as if it were my own, and each client as if they were family.
This heartfelt approach is what sets me apart in the Fraser Valley real estate market. I bring the same level of care and attention to detail that I do on the farm to every aspect of my work, ensuring that my clients get the very best results, whether they’re buying or selling.
A Deeply Rooted Passion for Fraser Valley Real Estate
The Fraser Valley isn’t just a place I work—it’s the place I’ve called home for over 45 years. My connection to this region runs deep. From the bustling streets and rural roads of Langley and Abbotsford to the quiet corners of Chilliwack , I've seen it all. The new developments in these communities, the rich agricultural lands, thriving commercial centers, and vibrant recreational areas—each aspect of the Fraser Valley adds to its unique charm and appeal.
I grew up in Chilliwack, where my childhood memories are filled with the sights and sounds of the community. My dad worked in Chilliwack’s first Sears department store, and I spent my childhood years walking and playing in its streets, attending the local schools. I moved to Abbotsford, where I took my first steps into adulthood. It’s where I got my first job, married, and raised my children, creating a strong foundation for my life and building friendships that lasted a lifetime.
But my connection to the Fraser Valley doesn’t end there. I’ve driven a truck and horse trailer to the farthest reaches of Langley Abbotsford and Chilliwack, experiencing both its rural and suburban landscapes. This firsthand experience of living and working in different parts of the Fraser Valley has given me a unique perspective and a deep understanding of what makes each community special.
Specializing in Fraser Valley real estate was a natural choice for me. I’ve lived and breathed this area for decades, and I bring that intimate knowledge to every client I serve. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a cherished family property, or searching for the perfect place to start your next chapter, I’m here to guide you with the same care and dedication that I bring to every aspect of my life.
