Specialized Waterfront Services

As a dedicated waterfront REALTOR®, I specialize in helping clients buy and sell oceanfront, lakefront, riverfront, private islands and residential properties. I have been involved as the listing or buyer's agent in several marquee transactions in Tofino, the Gulf Islands, Campbell River, the Cowichan Valley and Victoria. Click here to see my sold properties.

I have a deep understanding of the complexities unique to waterfront real estate. Beyond the homes themselves, I research critical factors that impact value and usability—everything from archaeological considerations and environmental regulations to zoning restrictions and riparian rights. I also have extensive experience navigating foreshore tenures, docks, and water access, ensuring my clients avoid surprises and make informed decisions. 

Whether you’re looking to sell a cherished waterfront estate or find the perfect property to enjoy life by the water, I provide the knowledge, due diligence, and marketing expertise needed to protect your investment and maximize your results. My goal is to help you confidently achieve your waterfront real estate dreams with the expertise only a true specialist can offer.
