  I currently work at Keller Williams - MacKay Realty Network. Prior to becoming a Realtor I had a successful 20-year career as a C-Suite leader. This encompassed the oversight of numerous heavy industrial and environmental service companies across Canada and parts of the US which frequently included the construction, purchasing and sale of large industrial and commercial real estate. This strategic management and financial expertise make me the perfect Realtor to help clients buy, sell and invest in real estate. My previous roles demanded a high level of business acumen, unwavering attention to detail and an absolute commitment to exceeding client expectations. As the lead on many merger and acquisition transactions and union collective bargaining agreements, I possess expert negotiation skills which I leverage to the benefit of my client's real estate transactions. I look forward to your call!
