The Bluenose

There once was a big ol' schooner,
'Twas a mighty fine boat indeed.
It went by the name of Bluenose,
And she sailed many a sea.

'Twas designed By W.J. Roue,
And built at the Smith and Rhuland Yard.
It was a schooner built to be tough,
And to beat her would be hard.

She was christened on March the twenty-sixth,
Back in 1921.
The townspeople all had gathered 'round,
To see what a job they'd done.

Sincerely,

In 1986, I began my career in Real Estate. At that time, I believed I had a job
like everyone else. I quickly learned that Real Estate is a lifestyle, not just a job.

When I agree to take on the responsibility of guiding people through one of
the largest sales transactions they may ever be involved in, I just can't walk away
at the end of a (normal) workday. My day ends when the transaction is complete.

As a Realtor, I find myself spending many evenings, late nights and
weekends immersed in the personal lives of strangers. This is when strangers
and acquaintances become trusted friends, who depend on me to ensure that
their purchase or sale goes smoothly.

My commitment to my clients has helped provide me with a
successful career and many valued friendships.

Real Estate can be the most important and the most rewarding financial transaction a person can make.

It is important to understand Agency Relationships, who represents who,
and all the costs associated with Real Estate.

be with the results.


Purchasing a home can become a complicated and confusing task. In a fast-paced market such as ours, you need to make sure you're making the right decisions and not just getting swept up in a wave of Home Buying frenzy.
When homes are in great demand, Buyers are in a rush for fear of loosing that perfect one. This can result in important details being overlooked. Before you start searching for that perfect property you should make sure you have made all the necessary arrangements to put you comfortably in the driver's seat.
First we should make sure you are dealing with a lending institution that offers competitive rates and suits all your borrowing needs. Once we have your interest rate locked in and a pre- approved mortgage in place, we can determine a price range for you to choose homes from.
It is important to select neighborhoods that will provide all of the essential services that you will need, such as schools, bussing and shopping.
Taking the time to choose the right Lawyer and Home Inspector in the beginning will save rushing around making phone calls once you selected the home you want to buy.
By working together, we can find you the right home and make the entire process an enjoyable experience.
and start your Home Buying Experience.
