Magical oasis upon the Salish Sea. Amazing waterfront .43-acre property directly neighbouring the white sandy beach of Pilot Bay on Gabriola Island. A barefoot jaunt across the road leads to matching white sand of Taylor Bay; back-to-back the Bays (along with the Malaspina Galleries) make up the Gabriola Sands Provincial Park. Dream big while bunking down in rustic, but sweet seaside cabin; enjoy the charm of yesteryear where days were long & families gather. One bedroom cottage with small kitchen, living-dining-room, and lovely deck with beautiful sunrises. Only steps to the beach where the kids have a safe, shallow, protected Bay to spend days swimming & splashing alongside eagles, seals, otters, and more! 5-minute drive to ferry, a variety of shops, and the Farmers’ Market. Gabriola Island is a short ferry ride from downtown Nanaimo and home to 4,500 permanent residents who have created a haven of creativity community. Rare opportunity to live amid nature and plan for possibilities!

Location
About
My family immigrated to Lantzville in the 1880s and I was born in the Old Hospital on Machleary Street in Nanaimo in the 1960s. I grew up in Nanaimo on Departure Bay Road–right across from Rock City School. My father worked at the Biological Station and every landmark brings back memories of a lifetime lived in the same area.
Licensed as a Realtor in 1993, I have been fortunate to be selling real estate and homes in and around the central island area for more than 20 years. Google Earth is amazing, and you feel like you can know a place pretty quickly, but nothing beats having footprints in all the corners. I’ve hiked the local mountains, swam in all the lakes and driven every road. I went to school here, had my first job here, and my dad taught me to drive here. I even remember going through the old A&W (now a Speedy Muffler).
I embrace integrity as the guiding principal to every decision I make. Quite possibly the most important aspect of my relationship with you is our communication. Clear, honest, timely, and accurate communication. As we work together, our relationship will evolve and change, but it’s important that the core value of mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s point of view will always remain.
My mission is simple: to promise a lot and deliver more. How do I do that? By communicating clearly, listening to my clients’ needs, providing remarkable service to clients while keeping in mind my guiding principles, and fairly representing my clients in the attainment of their real estate goals.
To put it simply, I never forget that I am working for you. I hold integrity, strength, honour, family, perseverance, patience, knowledge and balance as key aspects of my life, and apply those values to every part of my work as a real estate agent.
