I started my first career working for my parent’s transportation and warehousing company managing customer products and driving a forklift on the dock. It wasn't long before my responsibilities grew and I moved into the office to manage the trucking side of the business. Eventually, I was in charge of the day-to-day operations dealing with all things such as sales and customer relations, fleet maintenance, pricing, scheduling, planning and advancing the company along with the growing trends in technology and the industry.
In 2006, I was introduced to the idea of owning and managing real estate by my father when a "sweetheart of a deal" came along from a friend wishing to sell an income property. My family and I went to check it out and decided to invest in it as partners.
Over time, I realized owning and managing properties not only made fantastic sense for me, but that I also TRULY enjoyed doing it. Making ads, meeting people, taking pride in providing them a lovely home in which to live and learning about mechanical and structural trades throughout various renovation and construction projects, all the while still being able to work full-time for my parents and build equity and additional cash flow on the side.
After managing that company for many years, I decided it was time to pursue another career in something that I'd grown to truly love and admire - real estate!
My approach is to provide perspective to my clients and give valuable advice while I walk them step-by-step through the entire process of buying or selling their home, ensuring they are well-informed and understand every part of that process. I'm in my client’s corner every step of the way, even after the deal has closed and commission cheques have been cashed.
Not only have I helped many clients buy and sell their homes, but I am also well experienced in handling larger transactions of commercial and multi-residential properties which requires a different degree of experience and knowledge. Vendor-take-back mortgages, complex and lengthy conditional periods, and a real know-how of what makes complicated real estate deals like this come together are what excite me about this industry and are where I feel I can add extra value.
I have always been a motivated individual. My motivations have changed over the years, but one thing has remained constant - my utmost dedication to my clients. Keeping up with the latest technology, continuing education, and current real estate trends has only helped me to further provide a quality of excellence when serving my client base and meeting the ever-changing demands of today's consumers.
What you see is what you get- no tricks, no gimmicks. I genuinely want to see my clients succeed and I truly want to be the best Realtor® I can be for them.
Kyle took the time to get to know the two of us and what type of house / neighborhood would best suit us. Kyle was always patient and understanding when we couldn’t make up our mind. He listened to what was working and what wasn’t in order to help us find that perfect fit for our lifestyle and our growing family.

In 2019 the Provincial Government came along and changed some very important rules regarding Ontario’s Housing Supply. Basically, what these rules have allowed, among many other things, is the ability for a 3rd residential dwelling unit to be built in the rear yard of a home in a detached building. These types of buildings are often referred to as a “coach house” or “granny flat”.
