5 years with RE/MAX — where does the time go? 🎈

Huge thank you to my clients, friends, family, and referral partners for trusting me with some of the biggest decisions of your lives. I never take that lightly.

And a special thank you to my wife for the constant support, patience, and belief behind the scenes — real estate definitely isn’t a 9–5, and I couldn’t do this without you ❤️

The reality is, very few agents make it to the five-year mark, and the average agent in Canada closes 4–6 deals a year. I’m incredibly humbled to have averaged 17 deals per year over my first five years — and I’m just getting started.

Grateful for the journey, the people, and what’s ahead. ThankYou JustGettingStarted VancouverIsland

✨ SOLD | The Truth About Real Estate ✨

People love to say “real estate always goes up.”
I wish that were true.

This Maple Bay home was love at first sight — sweeping views, eagles overhead, and that feeling that you’ve found something special. 🦅

My clients poured their time, energy, and heart into this home. But when it came time to sell, the market told a different story.

We adjusted, stayed patient, and in the end — got it done. Not at the peak, but with peace of mind. Because sometimes it’s not about winning the market… it’s about making the right move for your life. 💙

They’re now happily settled in a beautiful ocean-side home in Cedar — a perfect fit for their lifestyle. 🌊

First waterski comp since high school… and it didn’t disappoint 💦

Spent the weekend at McIvor Lake for the BC Provincials with the Campbell River Eagles Waterski Club. Rainy start, but by the time slalom and jump came around, the conditions were 🔥

Unreal skiing, top-notch people, and all the good vibes. Big thanks to everyone who made it happen 🙌

Great article from REALTOR.ca - Some of the benefits of selling your home in the fall

-typically, there are fewer listings compared to spring, which helps your home stand out;

-late winter and early spring can be a mucky mess to get your home all spruced up, but late summer and early fall provide great opportunities

-more serious buyers who want to move in before the snow arrives, including people relocating for work or empty-nesters downsizing after their kids have left for school.

The higher interest rates we’ve been experiencing in recent years have pushed many home buyers to the sidelines. But following another drop in the Bank of Canada’s benchmark interest rate on Sept. 4 (and more cuts expected to come later this year), some experts are predicting that a resurgence i...
