My partner and I absolutely loved living here. I was genuinely heartbroken to say goodbye to this one… but you know what they say: when one door closes, another opens (hopefully on the 20th floor 😏).

📍 1703–751 Fairfield Rd. 
Sold for: $725,000 
MLS: 896061

We joked about it at the time, but I did say the only way I’d let him sell this place was if we one day snag the 20th floor unit. Manifesting? Maybe. 😉

Also—can we take a second for the transformation?! My partner works magic. Swipe to see some seriously satisfying before & afters. 💫🔨

🧨 Happy One Year to my Clients! 💥

This one was a little off-market win—we reached out just after the sellers hit pause on the listing, and with some behind-the-scenes hustle thank you to , we made it happen. Now that you're all settled in, I’ll have to come by and see how you’ve made it your own! Thank you as always for trusting me to be part of this journey. ✨

Forever home status unlocked! 🏡 This one is definitely going down in my realtor history. It was a journey that took patience and a lot of care, but with a little bit of magic, we pulled it all together between multiple properties. I couldn’t be happier for my clients and their family! Once their property sold, it was full speed ahead, and now they’re starting this new chapter in an absolutely stunning home. A home we knew was very special the second we took our first steps in it!

It’s been such a privilege to be a part of their journey, and I can’t wait to see how they redesign it and make it their own. 💕

Thank you so much for trusting me to help you find your perfect home! I’m beyond excited for the memories that will be made here.

Big shoutout to Diana Winger who helped get this one over the finish line with me and of course to Susanna Crofton and Kel Exner for being awesome to work with 🏠💖

P.S. You might notice some older sales popping up here over the next little while—they definitely deserve the same attention and love. 💕 As some of you may know, I’ve been battling TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) for the past three years, but I’m finally back and ready to share these milestones with you all! 🙌 It feels so good to highlight these homes and some of the amazing people that I have had the honour of working with along the way🏡 🌟!
