From the Toolbelt to the Transaction.
I spent 20 years as a licensed contractor — framing, foundations, electrical, full renovations — across the Niagara Region. I've built homes, gutted them, legalized basement apartments, and turned tired duplexes into cash-flowing investments. I've seen what's behind the drywall.
When I moved into real estate, I brought that lens with me. Most agents can tell you a kitchen was "recently updated." I can tell you whether the panel behind it is a fire risk, whether that finished basement meets egress code, and roughly what it'll cost to fix. That's the difference between selling you a house and protecting your investment.
Today I help buyers avoid money pits, sellers spend renovation dollars where they actually return, and investors run the numbers on multi-family and student-housing deals before they commit. No fluff, no cosmetic sales pitch — just an honest, technical read on the biggest purchase of your life.
