Award Winning Realtor Serving Durham Region & Northumberland County I am a Cobourg local who attended St.

Mary’s High School before heading off to McGill University in Montreal. While obtaining my degree in Business, I was a Lineman for the McGill Varsity Football Team. While at McGill, I managed my time between my studies, my team and volunteer coaching for local high school football teams. I have always been able to manage my time and find a way to assist others. After University and upon my return

to Cobourg, I was looking for a career that would allow me to use my personable and business skills and I was drawn to the Real Estate Market. For the past seven years I have been busy, as an active member of both the Northumberland Hills Real Estate Board and the Toronto Real Estate Board. My experience in the Toronto Market, has honed my negotiating skills in a hot competitive market. I have sold houses in several cities across the Greater Toronto Area, including a record breaking sale in the Richmond Hill Community of Don Head Village. Having a realtor who understands the area and the changing market is important if you want to get top-dollar for your home, especially as we see a more competitive- Toronto like market making it’s way into Northumberland. I continue to remain active in the community, as a Director of the Fare Share Food Bank, The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and as a Head Coach for Northumberland Nighthawks Minor Hockey. When I am not working you can spot me out on the golf course, walking my dog Rylee by the beach, with my wife Brittany, or catching a sporting event.

🏡 Bank of Canada Holds Interest Rate at 2.25%

The Bank of Canada announced today that it is keeping its key interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, providing some stability for buyers, sellers, and homeowners navigating today’s market.

While Canada’s economy remains soft and housing activity has slowed, inflation remains above target and global uncertainties—including elevated oil prices and ongoing trade tensions—continue to influence the Bank’s decisions.

What does this mean for the real estate market?
✔️ Borrowing costs remain stable ✔️ Buyers have more certainty when planning their purchase ✔️ Sellers continue to benefit from active demand in many markets ✔️ A stable rate environment allows both buyers and sellers to make informed decisions with greater confidence

Although today’s announcement wasn’t a rate cut, holding the rate steady is still positive news for those considering a move in 2026.

Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, understanding how interest rates impact the market is key to making the right move.

Have questions about what today’s announcement means for your real estate goals? Send me a message—I’m happy to help!

🏡 SOLD FIRM | 120 Highlands Blvd. 🎉

120 Highlands Blvd. is finally sold firm! 🙌

After nearly a year on the market, this sale is a testament to the realities of today’s real estate market and the importance of patience, strategy, and persistence.

My sellers purchased the home in 2022 when market conditions were very different. We knew early on that matching their purchase price would be difficult, so we focused on making strategic adjustments over time to stay competitive while minimizing their losses.

In the end, we achieved a sale at fair market value and secured 96% of the asking price.

Many homeowners who bought during the peak of the market are facing similar challenges. If you’re thinking about selling, having the right strategy and realistic expectations can make all the difference.

Congratulations to my sellers on reaching the finish line, and thank you for trusting me throughout the process. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!

🏡 SOLD FIRM | 139 Tremount St. 🎉

After 262 days on the market and more than 100 showings, I’m thrilled to announce that 139 Tremount St. has sold firm for 98% of asking price! 🙌

This sale is a reminder that today’s market can be challenging. We believed the home was priced appropriately from the start, and the consistent stream of showings supported that. However, activity doesn’t always translate into offers.

When the market speaks, you listen, adapt, and keep moving forward. Despite the long road, we stayed patient, trusted the process, and ultimately found the right buyer.

A huge congratulations to my sellers, whose patience, flexibility, and commitment throughout this journey made all the difference. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process, and best wishes in your next chapter! 👏

🏡 June is here, and historically it’s one of the busiest months for real estate in Durham Region. So what does that mean if you’re thinking about making a move?

👀 Buyers: ✅ More homes are hitting the market ✅ More inventory means more choice ✅ Greater opportunity to compare properties and negotiate with confidence

🏠 Sellers: ✅ Buyer demand often remains strong heading into summer ✅ Families looking to settle before the new school year are actively searching ✅ Well-priced, well-presented homes can still attract significant attention

⏳ Waiting for the “perfect” market? Many people spend months trying to time the market. The reality is that the best time to buy or sell is when your goals, finances, and plans align.

💡 The smartest moves happen before everyone else jumps in: • Know your budget • Get pre-approved • Understand your options • Build a strategy that works for your timeline

Whether you’re buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or investing, preparation is what creates opportunities.

The Canadian housing market is showing early signs of momentum this spring 🌷🏡

Here’s what happened in April 2026 according to CREA:

📈 Home sales increased 0.7% month-over-month 📋 New listings surged 4.1% 💲 National average home price rose to $695,412 📉 Home prices are stabilizing after months of decline ⏳ Days on market are beginning to shrink

What does this mean for buyers & sellers in the GTA? 👇

✔️ More inventory means more options for buyers ✔️ Stabilizing prices can create opportunities before the market heats up again ✔️ Sellers entering now face less competition than peak spring months

While many buyers are still in “wait-and-see” mode, market activity is gradually improving and confidence is starting to build again.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing in the GTA, now is the time to understand your options and strategy.

Beau and I attended the Jays game on Saturday in our matching sweaters! 👯⚾️

She had a blast in the box and pretty sure she enjoyed the unlimited snacks more than the game but at least she brought them some luck and we saw a 14-1 win! 🎉

We were also able to snag a Barbie bucket hat! 🙌
