Whistler has been my home for the past 31 years.  I moved from the Interior of B.C. with my husband and 2 pre-school age daughters and have never looked back.  For the past 18 years I have been managing expectations of both Buyers and Sellers with their Whistler property needs.  While it can be challenging, it is also one of the most rewarding careers I’ve had. 

I have seen a lot of changes in the past 30+ years, but what hasn’t changed for me is the feeling of community.  Combine that with our international guests, owners, events, the resort lifestyle, and the overwhelming natural beauty of living here, I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.

More importantly I love connecting Buyers and Sellers to realize their dream of owning or selling a piece of paradise.  It can be a complex process but I strive to make it as seamless and as uncomplicated as possible, a win/win for both.  Over the years I have developed a skill set in both negotiating and listening.

 When working with my clients they are my #1 focus.
