Finally I have had an opportunity to put my new "identity" out in the "rain". I have been part of activerain for a few months now with my home staging business, but am happy and proud to say I've officially started phase two of my plan to re-educate and re-invent myself as a REALTOR. I really feel like the two skills compliment each other so well.
I realize this isn't the hottest real estate market, but am continually told by more experienced realtors that this is actually a good time to get into the business, as it will force me to focus on the quality of my skills, knowlege and abilities to meet the challenges of today's market.
It is such an exciting time to get into a new type of business - there is such a vast wealth of technologies available to make me more productive and efficient. As a former small business owner, I feel like I have a real team behind me with Royal LePage in Coquitlam - the administration backup in my office is more than phenomenal, and the other team members have been really good to me.
Although there are elements I miss about having a toystore - the special customers & the fun of "playing" for a living - I feel at this stage in the game I'm ready to move up from 99 cent whoopie cushion transactions to something a bit more substantial - so get ready world - here I come - singin' in the "rain" in beautiful British Columbia!
Doing my best to make your experience just right! Helping people find a place that feels right is so rewarding, I feel lucky to do it for a living! My dog Scout is a great helper! Woof!
It is an honor for me to assist people in perhaps their most important finanical & emotional transactions - finding and selling their home. I pride myself on being not just a good listener, but a great one. My clients needs are my first priority, and I want each client to feel like a first class passenger on my airline. My business is built on personal referrals, I don't spend anything on flashy advertising or direct mailing, but rather chose to spend my time best serving the needs of my clients. Extraordinarily satisfied clients are the best form of advertising, and a convenient side benefit to a job extremely well done.
I feel I owe it to my clients to be up to date and prepared to meet the demands of todays market, and because of that fact I have undertaken additional training in the field of Home Staging & obtained my CCSP (Certified Canadian Staging Professional) designation. In todays highly competitive market, each listing must be shown to it's absolute best advantage in order to retain sellers hard earned equity and also to stand out amongst the crowd of listings to potential buyers.

I feel environmental concerns are a huge issue with today's homeowners and am a member of the National Association of Green Agents and Brokers (NAGAB) & make a point of staying current with new environmentally sensitive products and services on behalf of my clients.
