Dear Reader,

I hope you are enjoying a sun-kissed, restful summer. With the final days of summer closing in, you probably will want to get outside and enjoy it, especially before the return of a busy routine sets in come September.

During these dog days of summer, perhaps you have some time to consider home repairs or renovation projects that have been on your mind. It’s always a good idea to stay on top of repairs and improvements before they pile into one big, overwhelming, and expensive list should you decide to.

Remember, if you need recommendations for reputable contractors or service repair people, I have an extensive network of professionals I can recommend. Call today. I would be happy to help.

Welcome to Elk Park Ranch

Elk Park Ranch, Radium, BC

THE HEART OF THE COLUMBIA VALLEY

A sprawling 200 acre residential mountain side community nestled between Kootenay National Park and the Columbia Valley.

Location, Location, Location!

Radium Hot Springs

Named for its famous Hot Spring Pools, Radium is a charming mountain side Village in South Eastern British Columbia. While the area surrounding the Springs has long been an important healing location for the Ktunaxa Nation, the first recorded visits to the area occurred in 1841 when members of the Hudson's Bay Company first explored the Columbia Valley. Nowadays Radium is a beautifully scenic and quaint resort-like community hosting a myriad of little shops and restaurants.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to summer! Hopefully, there will be plenty of nice weather over the next couple of months so you can enjoy barbecues, picnics, deck parties, and other outdoor activities.

Without a question, it’s the perfect season for socializing. The long, sunny days and warm, moonlit nights are the perfect setting for sharing interests or discussing ideas with friends and family. You might even find yourself talking about the possibility of buying or selling a home.

If that topic comes up, remember that I’m always available to help with any questions you — or your friends or relatives — may have. Call or email me anytime.

Sending my best wishes to you and yours for a restful and fun-filled summer.

Dear Reader,

Have you ever noticed that some TV shows stereotype lawyers, doctors, and even real estate agents like me?

Real estate agents, for example, are often seen hammering in lawn signs, hosting open houses, and making deals.

But, of course, there’s more to the story than that.

Sure, I do a lot of work for my clients during a transaction — helping them find and buy the home of their dreams and, in many cases, helping them sell their current properties, quickly and for the best price.

But there are many less glamorous things I do for clients that don’t make it on a TV show that are still important to you.

I stick with my clients for the long-term, helping them maximize the enjoyment of their homes. I do that by staying in touch…

Dear Reader,

“I feel more comfortable hiring a professional who has been recommended to me,” said just about everyone who’s ever looked for a good accountant, dentist, lawn care company, contractor – you name it. I suspect that’s no surprise to you.

For obvious reasons, people just naturally feel better about contacting a recommended professional than they do a stranger. These days, more than ever before, people are asking for recommendations, from friends, from neighbours, and on social media.

That’s why I work so hard to ensure people in the communities I serve get to know me and how I can help them sell successfully and find their next dream home.

It’s also why I’m dedicated to continually providing value to the prospects I meet and the…
