Further, my husband and I have extensively renovated our homes, so I see the potential and possible challenges in properties, which helps clients evaluate prospective homes, condos or projects.

Prior to joining Chestnut Park, I worked as a Certified Financial Planner at boutique firms looking after the entire financial well being of our clients, so I add a comprehensive financial insight to my evaluation of our clients’ real estate needs. I believe this depth personal experience results in happy and smooth real estate transactions!

Katie’s Corner
When not working, I am involved in the kids’ schools and sports, currently volunteering in the shop at Crescent and on the Aquatics Committee at the Granite Club. I have also been involved in a number of fundraising efforts including at Sterling Hall, and Wellspring both for their Hoedown and as honorary co-chair of the expansion for the Westerkirk House at Sunnybrook. I love getting outdoors be it skiing, hiking or mountain biking, but if it’s rainy, you’ll find me curled up with a great book, or trying new recipes.

In the words of my clients:

“You keep spoiling us! We are loving our new home and got together with a group of neighbours last night for dinner. We have absolutely no regrets about the move… Which I guess is pretty obvious since I keep sending people your way.”

I grew up in central Toronto, Lytton Park and Lawrence Park, and attended Havergal College for 12 years. Once married, I moved to downtown Historic Oakville, where I have lived for the past 25 years with my husband and three children. Over that time, we have had the pleasure and excitement of restoring three historic homes as our family needs grew.

I feel fortunate to have lived and worked in both Toronto and Oakville. This has allowed me to develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the varied neighbourhoods and their respective real estate markets. But more importantly, I have had the privilege of working closely with so many Buyers and Sellers, who are not just clients, instead rather good friends.

I pride myself on being a listener, rather than a talker. I hear what you need. I would rather a client pass on a purchase, if it doesn’t tick all their boxes. I strive to find the “perfect fit”. For some, that happens quickly, others a longer time. I have patience and perseverance.

I am very detailed and task driven. When you are a Seller, I make sure no fine detail is overlooked and I work to showcase your home in the perfect light. I make sure no potential Buyer is missed – reaching out directly to Buying Agents, following up with each showing and reporting back to you the Seller. Once again, I strive to find the “perfect fit”.
