World-Class Representation

Buying real estate is more than just looking at properties and picking one that works. It’s also about finding the right home, at the right price, in the right location, while avoiding inconvenience and costly mistakes – not always an easy task! The best way to achieve these objectives is to work with a professional REALTOR® who understands your needs, wants, time frame and budget; but most importantly, knows how to negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.

A Buyer’s Sales Associate is a REALTOR® who works exclusively for you to assist in researching and purchasing a property. This exclusivity distinguishes a Buyer’s Representative from the Seller’s Representative (aka the Listing Agent) who is the legal representative of the seller and working in the seller’s best interests. Before calling the number on the sign, consider retaining your own representation.

Top Reasons to retain a Buyer’s Representative

  • Obtain invaluable details about the properties you’re looking at: historic sales data, comparable properties, a second opinion of value, and potentially other information about the property that the seller’s representative can’t legally provide.
  • An exclusive buyer’s agent can negotiate on your behalf and suggest what to offer based on experience (the seller’s representative cannot do this – they must work in the seller’s best interests).
  • A buyer’s agent can help you find foreclosures, exclusive listings, expired listings and other properties that may not be listed for sale on the open market.
  • Discretion, confidentiality, loyalty, and obedience: the pillars of solid representation.
  • The services of a Buyer’s representative could save you thousands of dollars!

The services of a Buyer’s representative usually won’t cost you anything!*

* In most cases, buyers’ agents are reimbursed by the seller. The particulars of each relationship must be discussed and disclosed by your agent prior to completing a purchase.

The Approach

Learn

I start by learning about you. Your needs become my guide for ensuring a positive experience. I want to know what’s important to you!

Accompany

You’re the boss. My staff and I work around your schedule, travel requirements, and style of shopping. Days, evenings and weekends are all fair game.

Communicate

Communication is my business. With listing agents, sellers, and most importantly, you! My staff and I are always available and we go the extra mile to ensure you stay informed.

Inform

Reap the advantage of having an expert on everything local: neighbourhoods, schools, amenities, taxes, and the pros and cons of each.

Negotiate

More than just the initial offer, negotiations are often ongoing from point of first contact with a seller to the sold sign going up. I know the approaches to take to ensure my clients get a great deal.

Support

A sale is never over for me. I’m always available after keys change hands, to help with questions after the fact. And when you’re ready to sell in the future, I’ll be here for you.

About Me

I’m a veteran of the Annapolis Valley real estate market. I’m the President and co-owner of RE/MAX Banner Real Estate, one of the region’s most successful brokerages, and I continually place as one of the top producing agents in the maritime provinces. I singlehandedly completed 116 successful transaction ends in 2023, moving over $32 million in Annapolis Valley real assets.†

In 2023 I was recipient of the prestigious RE/MAX Titan Club award and was the #1 individual RE/MAX agent in Nova Scotia. 

I was trusted with listing 95 properties for sale in 2023†, and have always enjoyed many repeat clients. I hold a Managing Associate Broker license, a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree, and I’m a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®).

Despite my level of production, I am never too busy for new clients. I have an amazing support staff and cutting-edge systems that allow me to focus on what’s most important: your sale.

Choose your Realtor wisely! This is the most important purchase of your life.

I take pride in my profession, and that means taking great care to ensure every transaction goes smoothly and according to plan. My client’s interests always come first, and I use every resource at my disposal to ensure positive outcomes. Selling a home with me at your side will be straight-forward and rewarding, with no unwanted surprises. I am always professional, always honest, and always thinking two steps ahead.

Having been raised in Middleton, Heart of the Annapolis Valley, I understand why so many choose to call this place “home.” We live in one of the most beautiful hidden treasures that Canada has to offer, and I treat my clients with the same respect I have for the area. After all we are (or might soon be!) neighbours!
