Buy smart in Durham.
Backed by the numbers,
not the hype.

I help first-time buyers and investors across Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa make the call with data — not pressure. Nine years running risk and transformation programs at TD taught me to read a deal like a model.

Who I help

Two people I'm built for.

I don't try to be everyone's agent. I'm sharpest for two situations — and I'll tell you honestly if you're neither.

First-time buyers

You've saved, you're nervous, and every agent sounds the same. I slow it down and show you the math — what you can actually carry, what each neighbourhood really costs, where the risk hides.

  • Plain-English walk through financing, closing costs, and incentives
  • Neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood price reality, not averages
  • No pressure to "just get in" before you're ready

Investors

You want a property that pays, not a pretty listing. I model the deal before you fall for it — rent assumptions, carrying costs, and what actually clears after everything.

  • Cash-flow and carrying-cost review on every property we consider
  • Honest read on rent assumptions, not best-case fantasy
  • A risk-first lens from someone who did it professionally for years

My edge

I read deals like a risk model, because I used to.

Before real estate, I spent roughly nine years leading transformation and risk programs at TD Bank. That's not a line on a bio — it's how I work. I look for what can go wrong in a deal before I look at what's beautiful about it. For a first-time buyer that means clarity. For an investor it means I've stress-tested the numbers before you commit a dollar.

Questions people actually ask

Straight answers.

Does it cost me anything to work with you as a buyer?

In most resale deals the seller's brokerage compensates the buyer's agent, so you typically pay nothing directly. Where there's an exception — some new construction and rentals — I tell you up front, in writing, before you're committed.

Is Durham Region actually good for first-time buyers right now?

For many, yes. Durham keeps average prices below most of the GTA while holding GO Transit and Highway 401/407 access. As of spring 2026 the regional average sat under $850K. Whether it's right for you depends on your numbers — which is exactly what the first call is for.

What makes you different from every other Durham agent?

Most agents sell. I model. Nine years in bank risk and transformation means I show you the math and the downside before the upside. You'll never get hype from me — you'll get a spreadsheet and a straight opinion.

I'm not ready to buy for a while. Worth talking now?

Yes. The buyers who do best start the conversation early, fix their financing picture, and watch the right neighbourhoods for months. There's zero cost and zero pressure to start that now.
