New Listing, Aurora Heights

We are a Mother/Daughter team that both live and work in the fast growing area known as York Region, on the northern edge of the City of Toronto. This area was, and continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in Southern Ontario for both housing and industry. It is made up of multiple very diverse towns: Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Whitchurch-Stouffville, King, Vaughan, East Gwillimbury, Keswick, Sutton, Holland Landing and Sharon are just a few of the towns that make up York Region.  This fabulous area stretches across the Oak Ridges Moraine, which is the north/south water shed between Toronto  and the Barrie area around Lake Simcoe. As part of this watershed, it is made up of lots of green-space, walking trails, creeks and rivers and conservation areas and most of the towns in York Region are dotted throughout fertile, productive farmlands, yet still minutes to Toronto, making it a wonderful place  to raise families.  With a cottage in the Muskoka/Haliburton area, we are very diversified, with one of us in cottage country, the other in York Region. As more and more buyers look north to own a cottage or retire, we offer boots on the ground in both areas, and exposure to both a Toronto and local buyer base.  It's a win-win for everyone!

I grew up in Stouffville, and now reside in Aurora and have always called York Region home.  Becoming a Realtor in 1987, I've seen tons of changes in the Industry along the way. My daughter Tiffany joined me in Real Estate several years ago and its been amazingly rejuvenating to have such an influx of young, modern ideas. My early interest in Real Estate was due to the great flexibility it could give me as the mother of a son, Brandyn, who was born with severe medical problems. Brandyn sadly passed away in 2005 during a double Lung and Heart transplant. Then losing my husband John a year later, was a devastating blow, only superseded by the inherited, fraudulent business partner that felt his partners widow would be easy pickings. But I fight hard for what I believe is right, so I single handedly took on that fraud case. Boy, did I learn more than I ever wanted to about the Law and how important it is to cross your t's and dot your i's and how critical a detailed, persistent work ethic is,  Still, my love for helping my clients fulfill their Real Estate dreams continued. I have a deep down sense of adventure and believe that learning is something you never stop doing, whether it's learning new technology, a new skill or just a fun sport. I learned to scuba dive in 2009 and love the ocean. I learned to fly in 2008, as my new partner owned a Lake Amphibian airplane and ever prepared I thought it  prudent to actually know how to land it in an emergency. My desire to always learn and try out new things took me to the Caribean for a number of winter months  aboard our sailboat "Ocean Wings" and when l the wrath of a  hurricane  destroyed her in 2017 , a  motorhome seemed like the next good adventure. I love to spend time  with my grandkids our cottage in Haliburton, tending my veggie garden and boating on the lake, where I happily  sell that cottage area to anyone wanting that lifestyle.  Life gives everyone ups and downs and how we come out the other side is mostly attitude.  I love my  chosen real estate career and genuinely love helping my clients make their dreams a reality. I never cut corners, I offer honest,  ethical advice , My clients are all VIP and I give nothing but my best.

                    After all , life is a journey we all take and it should be lived to the best of our abilities
