About Me

In today’s ever changing global markets, making the right choices about your real estate needs can be daunting; the key is to have the right real estate professional assist you. I have more than 20 years of experience in the construction industry in Central Alberta. I was known as a perfectionist when it came to my projects, and I will bring that same attention to detail, integrity and honesty to work for you in finding the perfect piece of property.

As a long term resident of the Central Alberta area the lifestyle is second to none.  Alberta offers much diversity in landscape, work and play. As a result of living in this culturally diverse economic power  house, I  have raised my family here, ran a small cow/calf operation, worked and volunteered here. I have worked in the housing industry, worked as a Power Engineer and Millwright in the oil and gas industry, in the lumber industry, at Red Deer Regional Hospital and as an Operations Site Supervisor for provincial government buildings. I developed and co-ordinated an Alberta Soccer Association sanctioned summer soccer camp for 11 years with about 100 kids attending each year. I feel with this vast expanse of experiences I am well equipped to work with a broad spectrum of clients.  The horizon is wide and open to you as well. Work with an agent that knows.

Central Alberta has camping, trail walking, fishing, golfing, performing arts and the list goes on. Folks it’s all here. Let me show you and you can see for yourself.   As a committed community member, I will dedicate my expertise and knowledge to getting you to where you need to be with your family and friends. Let me represent you in the honest and down to earth manner that you should expect from someone you can lean on and get things done the way you would expect from your Real Estate Professional!

Your Real Estate Concierge

Concierge - "People who help and serve people professionally"

Although more and more people are becoming familiar with the term "concierge" very few know where this customer-service based profession originated.  The word "concierge" evolves from the French comte Des cierges, the "Keeper of the Candler," a term that referred to the servant who attended to the whims of visiting noblemen at medieval castles.  Eventually, the name "concierge" came to stand for keeper of the keys at public buildings, especially hotels.

Merriam-Webster online dictionary offers this definition.."a resident in an apartment building especially in France who serves as a doorkeeper, landlord's representative, and janitor. 2: a usually multilingual hotel staff member who handles luggage and mail, makes reservations and arranges tours.

Regardless of the origin, hotels from around the world were the first ones to adopt the concierge idea and offer the service to their guests.  Today, independent concierge companies have brought this ancient serve to the modern wold so that now everyone has access to them.

Looking for a Real Estate Agent who puts you first?

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home, you want the process to go successfully. If you’re selling, success means getting your property sold quickly and for the highest price possible. If you’re buying, it means finding your next dream home and getting into it, affordably. On top of that, if you’re like most of my satisfied customers, you also want everything to go smoothly, with as little stress as possible.

How can you ensure all that happens? By working with a real estate agent who truly puts you first.
