I’m proud to announce that I have recently earned the prestigious Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP) designation from the Seniors Real Estate Institute. After completing a rigorous educational curriculum and competency-based exam, I am now equipped to serve the unique needs of seniors and their families with unparalleled compassion, expertise, and connectedness.
The CSHP designation is awarded to a select group of elite real estate professionals, and I’m honored to be part of this network. With demographic shifts and longer life expectancies, senior housing options have evolved significantly, and I am dedicated to helping seniors navigate these options, especially when it comes to downsizing and selling a family home.

If you’ve spent years – perhaps decades – in your family home, the thought of moving somewhere else can be daunting. Having downsized myself, I know just how overwhelming it can be. As a senior relocation specialist, I simplify the process for you, coordinating every step, helping you eat that proverbial elephant one bite at a time. So, if you’re considering downsizing in the Central Island area, give me a call. Or check out the downsizing resources on my “How to Get Started” website.
I’m one of Canada’s only Certified Senior Housing Professionals, which means I’ve completed North America’s most rigorous certification process for REALTORS® who serve seniors.
