Buying your first home is one of the most exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—experiences of your life. With so many steps, decisions, and emotions involved, having a trusted guide by your side makes all the difference. That’s where I come in.With 45 years of local Kingston knowledge and a lifelong background in real estate (thanks to my mom’s 38-year career as a broker), I’ve built my business around making the home buying process smoother, smarter, and less stressful—especially for first-time buyers.Here’s how I can help you every step of the way:
1. Helping You Understand What You Can Afford
Before you even start scrolling through listings, I’ll connect you with trusted mortgage professionals who can help you determine what you can comfortably afford. I’ll also help you understand closing costs, land transfer tax, and ongoing monthly expenses, so there are no surprises later.2. Breaking Down the Buying Process
From getting pre-approved to getting your keys, I’ll walk you through each step of the process. I break things down in plain language so you feel empowered and informed—not overwhelmed. You’ll know what’s coming next, and what’s expected of you at every stage.3. Helping You Choose the Right Neighbourhood
Whether you’re commuting to work, starting a family, or looking for a walkable lifestyle, I know Kingston’s neighbourhoods inside and out. I’ll help you find a location that fits your needs now—and will continue to serve you in the future.4. Finding Homes That Match Your Priorities
As your Realtor, I’ll narrow down listings to homes that fit your price range, lifestyle, and must-haves. I won’t waste your time with properties that don’t make sense for you. I’ll also alert you to off-market opportunities and upcoming listings.5. Negotiating With Your Best Interests at Heart
I’m here to protect your investment. I’ll explain the offer process, help you make a strong but strategic bid, and negotiate on your behalf—whether it’s price, conditions, or repairs after the inspection. I’ve done this hundreds of times, and your success is my priority.6. Connecting You to Trusted Professionals
From home inspectors and lawyers to mortgage brokers and tradespeople, I work with a network of reliable professionals who’ll make the process seamless and stress-free. I only refer people I trust—just like I want you to trust me.7. Being There Long After Closing
My service doesn’t stop when you get the keys. Whether you need advice, a contractor referral, or want to chat about resale value in a few years—I’m just a phone call or email away. Many of my first-time buyers have become lifelong clients, and that means the world to me.Thinking About Buying Your First Home?
