I was drawn to Kitchener-Waterloo for its amazing schools and stayed for the community. From a young age, I was told that I had the drive and determination to be an entrepreneur and I always knew at some point I would make the switch to a business I could build into my own. I spent 8 years in an administrative role at the University working alongside students living in residences where I have become a support to students in their new homes. I had an itch for a new opportunity and something different and I was drawn to real estate.
My interest in real estate started when I was in high school when I read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. I never understood the process of buying a home, let alone buying multiple properties to generate wealth. Since then, my entrepreneurial spirit arose and my eyes have been opened to the benefits of owning real estate on any scale. Over the years, I have purchased multiple investment properties of my own and love getting to know new investors in the area. Every time I read a new investment book, help someone understand the real estate market, or assist in the tenant selection process, I get more excited to help others enter the housing market or find their next home.
I bring my knowledge of big transitions and new opportunities to my work in real estate. My approach to my work is client-centred. I work hard to find my clients their next property and will ensure it is something that they love and are excited about. There is no need to rush the process, and I want to move at your pace while having a little fun. As my client, I want to know your story and goals, and what your expectations are of the process, so I can create a positive home-buying experience for you. I am always honest in my approach and will continuously share my knowledge and expertise with you, so you can make an informed decision.
I truly believe that your perfect home is out there, waiting for you. I understand that every home-buying journey is unique, and that finding the right one can take time and patience. That's why I am committed to being there for you every step of the way, offering support and encouragement as you explore your options.
My approach is to listen to my clients' needs and concerns and to work with them to develop a customized plan that meets their unique goals. I take the time to educate my clients on the real estate market and provide them with all the information they need to make informed decisions.
I love getting creative with deals. By developing customized solutions that meet my clients' specific needs and goals. Whether you're a buyer looking for a fixer-upper or a seller looking for a quick sale, I'll work with you to develop a strategy that maximizes your returns and minimizes your stress.
I love spending time with my two kids, two fur-babies and my husband. We enjoy bonfires, swimming, and family walks on trails around the region.
At the end of a week, there is something so satisfying about opening a new bottle of wine to share with my husband. Every year, we take a trip to enjoy tasting and experiencing wine all over Ontario. Although I love all kinds of wine, my favourite two kinds are icewine and sparkling white.
I am a big animal print lover. You will often see me in zebra or leopard something. I have always dreamed of having a room in my home filled with animal print, where I can go relax. It brings me so much joy, when my daughter picks out animal print from her drawer so we can wear matching animal print outfits.
Steph is a true gem to work with. Steph engages in honest, friendly, and knowledgeable conversations about your rental or buying needs. I leave every interaction with the feeling that I can truly trust her- she ensures that I understand complex processes of renting and buying. I've recommended her to friends who are ready to buy their first home, and I know they are in good hands, too!

Steph was incredibly easy to work with and put the time and care into ensuring we weren’t missing any details in the home buying (and selling) process. We also appreciated that she brought her honesty, humour, and down to earth nature during what is always a stressful and often uncertain process. We’re very happy with our outcome and with all of the little touches Steph thought of along the way!
