When I decided to sell my home, Brent walked me through the entire process and kept me informed of every step. Brent lives and breathes real estate and is extremely informed. Couldn’t be happier selling with Brent.

[Articling Segment] Principles of Mortgage Financing: Final Transcript
In every two-year registration period, realtors in Ontario are required to complete courses in continuing education.
In my first two years as a registrant with RECO — known as my “provisional” period — I was required to complete one elective (articling) course through the OREA Real Estate College. My choices included:
- Principles of Appraisal
- Real Estate Investment Analysis
- Principles of Mortgage Financing
- Principles of Property Management
In the end, I decided to take Principles of Mortgage Financing.
I cannot rave enough about working with Brent. He’s the most self-motivated, hard-working realtor I’ve ever worked with and…bringing on Brent to sell your home is like hiring an experienced marketing agency. He’s an active advocate that keeps you in the loop with regular texts, emails, educational reports and more. Brent listened to me, shared frank and honest feedback with me, and worked for me to get my house sold. I could not be happier that I chose Brent and gladly recommend him to everyone I know.

Brent listened to what we wanted, knew our circumstances and worked hard to get us what we needed! We now have a beautiful home we love!

Is housing in Fort Erie affordable for the average family?
When I promote a new listing on Facebook, I often receive comments from local users like…
Housing prices in Fort Erie have gone crazy. I’ve lived and worked here all my life but I won’t be able to afford to retire here.
Or…
How are young families ever supposed to be able to buy their first house?
Or…
I’m barely getting by as it is. I’ll never be able to buy a home of my own.
You get the idea.
While concerns about affordable housing are perfectly valid — and I will touch on this later — I thought I’d take a moment to dive into what the average household (or family) can realistically afford in this area.

Brent made the process so easy. Definitely couldn’t have done this without his help! Tomorrow, we move into our first home because of you, Brent, and I couldn’t be more appreciative! Thank you!

A Look Back at 2019 Fort Erie Community Events
I’ve often said that a good realtor should be a good community ambassador.
So, starting last July, I made it my mission to get involved in my local community — and I’ve had a blast doing it! Here are some photos from various events this past year.
Meet the 2019 Winners of My Monthly Gift Card Giveaway
Starting last summer, I have been giving away a gift card to redeem at a local business each month.
Typically, the gift card (or gift certificate) has a value of $50 and is redeemable at a local restaurant.
Why host a monthly gift card giveaway, you ask? Well, it…
- …supports local businesses.
- …highlights some of what makes Fort Erie great.
- …rewards my followers.
- …allows me to connect with local residents by email.
Brent is hard-working, motivated, and friendly. It was a pleasure working with him through the process of selling my home. He is a modern agent with old-fashioned manners.
