Our Story

Our story together begins in Kingston, Ontario. It was 2003, and Katie had moved from Lakefield to Kingston to go to Queen’s University. Jeff, whose from Kingston, was a newly minted real estate agent and hired Katie as his first assistant. We became partners quickly and stayed in Kingston for 15 years selling real estate together.

We moved back to Peterborough in 2018 to be closer to family and start a family of our own. The move brought us closer to our much-loved cottage in the Kawarthas. We love being back in the area and are excited to help others discover how great it is, too.
