Cottage inventory is high right now, Buyers this is an excellent time to look for that waterfront property that you’ve always wanted!

Rural Living
The Ottawa Valley offers a more rural and scenic experience, with picturesque landscapes, waterfront properties, farmland and larger lots at more affordable prices. Ideal for those seeking a quieter lifestyle, the Valley combines the charm of small town and rural living with outdoor recreation and easy access to Ottawa’s city amenities.
Both areas provide solid investment opportunities, with Ottawa offering urban convenience and economic stability, while the Ottawa Valley offers peaceful living and natural beauty.

Established Roots
I have very strong rural real estate and Ottawa area background. I grew up on a 200-acre farm, now live on a beef farm and rode and competed horses in the middle as well as raised a family. I am familiar with most aspects of rural properties, country estates and hobby farms that are abundant in the Ottawa Valley and beyond and I feel Ottawa is a great place to start a business and raise a family. Raising my family in the countryside provided a nurturing environment where my children could learn about nature, agriculture, caring for animals and the importance of community and helping neighbours.
My familiarity with rural properties, country estates, and hobby farms extends beyond the Ottawa Valley, as I have a keen understanding of the unique characteristics and opportunities that these properties offer.
My in-depth real estate knowledge doesn’t end in the country –I am just as educated and experienced in Ottawa’s urban real estate including the growing market of condo living. I am also familiar with waterfront having been a cottage owner for 25 years. We are so fortunate to have so many lakes and rivers nearby.
