The Local Team at RE/MAX First Realty

The Local Team at RE/MAX First Realty Providing quality Real Estate services for the Oceanside area working from RE/MAX First Realty From that moment onward the Oceanside area became a part of me.

I was born and raised in the Gulf islands; my family then moved to the Oceanside area for my schooling. I have over a decade of experience in the construction industry, having been in many roles from drafting and design, project management and working as a contractor. Having spent many years living and working in the Oceanside I have an extensive knowledge of the area. In addition, I also have spe

nt lots of time on Lasqueti island and know the island and community extensively. I have a good working knowledge of the types of off grid living needed to run a property there. I have a firm commitment to ensuring my client's needs are met. I pride myself on creating a comfortable and informative working relationship, listening to their needs and providing results. I will work tirelessly to find you your dream home. I will help make you feel just as at home as I do in the Oceanside area. In my spare time I enjoy archery, hiking, photography, skiing and snowboarding. I firmly believe that any time outdoors here is never wasted time.
