  • Sep 2019 - Present

  I first discovered Green Magic Homes on a vacation in Panama 2 years ago. After some research and emails and phone calls back and forth with several key people from the organization, my husband and I decided to build our own Green Magic Home in Panama. He has taken the course to become a Certified Builder, and I am using my years of sales and networking to help them expand into the Canadian market. These beautiful and unique homes would be a great summer cottage, ski chalet, artists workshop, home office, In- Laws suite, or Air BNB style rental income. Contact me to learn more! Show less
