After these past three weekends, my legs have officially filed a complaint. So, instead of finding another way to punish my body next weekend, I'd rather put that energy toward something more useful — helping you find your North Okanagan home. I've got the experience, the knowledge, and (right now) the time to do it right. Send me a message, and let's get you home. 🏡

Unprecedented. By me anyway. I beat the mountain again. Although, in the end, the mountain had the last laugh. Right after this, snowflakes started falling, and I froze my ass off on the way down.

28th Crescent in East Hill has always been one of my favourite streets in Vernon — and honestly, I couldn't give you one specific reason why. It's just got that old-school fee to it. Maybe that says more about me. 🤔

I've got a number of neighbourhoods on my personal favourites list, and 28th Crescent is definitely one of them.

What's yours?

Drop your favourite street or neighbourhood from anywhere around the North Okanagan in the comments 👇 Hopefully I'll run across a few new ones to check out. ✌️

The Okanagan market just did something it almost never does.

May had fewer new listings than April — across all three regions. In 10 years of data, that's only happened once before.

And sales? Mixed picture:

North Okanagan down 4.3% YoY

Central Okanagan — 2nd slowest May in 10 years

South Okanagan up nearly 27% YoY

Buyers are cautious. Sellers are pulling back. Supply may have already peaked for the season.

If you're thinking about making a move this summer, this matters. Send me a DM or drop your questions below.

After Thursday's weak-ass attempt to summit, today was Redemption Day. Amazing what a little food and perfect weather will do. And some YouTube inspiration.

Hate to get this close and not make the summit. I guess 3 cups of coffee and a glass of apple juice wasn't quite the right mix of fuel. The blazing sun definitely did not help. Next time.

Every chapter of my career has basically been about the same thing — helping people choose a life they actually want.

Ten years in BC tourism. Five years selling vacation homes at Big White, Fairmont Hot Springs, the Kootenays. Then my daughter was on the way, and suddenly it was time to stop chasing cool spots and actually put down roots somewhere worth staying.

I chose Vernon. That was 14 years ago.

Now I specialize in downsizing — working with people who are ready for their next chapter. Locals who are simplifying. People relocating to the Okanagan who want to get it right.
If that's you, I'd genuinely love to connect. Link in bio or reach me directly at 250-309-1810.

I love a story with a happy ending.

This one had a speed bump or two along the way — but that's real estate, and that's okay.

21 days on market, a moment or two where we all had to slow down and take a breath, and in the end: a seller who's moving forward and a buyer who's thrilled with their new home. Happy on both sides. That's the goal every time.

For anyone in the North Okanagan thinking about what their home might be worth in this market, I'd love to chat. What's holding most people back from having that conversation — timing, uncertainty, or something else? Drop it in the comments.

🏡 Open House this Saturday.
Hey Vernon! I'm hosting an open house this Saturday, March 28 from 1–3 PM at #9 - 5101 19 St in the Harwood neighbourhood. Stop on by.

Here's what makes this one stand out:
🐕 Up to two dogs allowed — no size restrictions (yes, really)
🌿 Large backyard backing onto green space — no rear neighbours
🔥 Gas fireplace in the main living area
🍳 Full-size appliances throughout
🛏 3 beds | 2.5 baths | 1,366 sq ft | $589,900

This is the kind of home that works for young families, downsizers, and pet owners who've been told "no" too many times by strata rules. Harwood is a great neighbourhood — walkable, established, and close to everything Vernon has to offer.
Saturday, March 28 | 1:00 – 3:00 PM
📍 9 - 5101 19 St, Vernon BC

Thinking about retiring in Vernon? Here are 5 things most people don't find out until after they've already moved. 👇
The seasons are real — but so is the sunshine. Everything is closer than you think. Your dollar goes further than Kelowna or the Lower Mainland. The community is genuinely active and welcoming. And the emotional side of leaving a long-time family home? That one catches almost everyone off guard.
Vernon is where I've built my career helping retirees and downsizers make this exact transition — and I love what I do.
If this is on your radar, I'd love to help you think it through.
