Before becoming a REALTOR®, I spent more than 20 years working in residential construction, including framing, renovations and full contract builds.
That experience shapes the way I help people buy homes today—especially new construction.
When I'm walking through a show home or reviewing a new build with a buyer, I'm not only looking at finishes and floor plans. I'm thinking about the lot, specifications, construction details, mechanical systems, upgrades, future costs and the decisions that may matter long after possession.
A Builder's Eye. A Buyer's Perspective.
Buying a new-construction home is different from buying a resale property.
There are builders to compare, lots to choose, specifications to understand, upgrades to evaluate, contracts to review, construction walkthroughs, deficiencies, possession and warranty considerations.
My role is to help you understand those decisions so you can make an informed choice.
I can help you:
- Compare builders, homes and specifications
- Evaluate lots and site considerations
- Understand standard features versus upgrades
- Identify questions to ask before signing a builder agreement
- Work through walkthroughs and deficiency items
- Understand the steps leading up to possession
- Search new and quick-possession homes across the Edmonton area
For legal, financing, inspection or other specialized matters, I encourage my clients to use the appropriate qualified professional.
Edmonton & Surrounding Communities
I work with buyers and sellers throughout Edmonton and surrounding communities, with a particular focus on new construction in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan and Devon.
I also share Edmonton market numbers and new-construction tips on video. Watch on my YouTube channel, Edmonton Real Estate Team, and in the episodes I co-host with mortgage broker Josh Tagg (Indi Mortgage) on Edmonton Home Team, an informal collaboration, not a brokerage.
Whether you're just starting to explore new construction or you've already visited show homes, I'm happy to help you understand your options.
