How I work
Moving is a big deal. Most of the stress comes from not knowing what's going on, so I'll keep you posted the whole way.
No sales scripts and no pushing. I'll give you honest numbers, tell you what I actually think of a house, and answer my phone when you call. Most of my clients come from people I've worked with before, and that's the part I'm proudest of.
- Straight answers
- Local, not corporate

Buying or selling
I can help on either side of your move.
Your first place or the house you raised your kids in, it starts the same way. We talk, I answer your questions, and you decide what happens next. It doesn't cost anything and you're not signing up for anything.
Selling your home
I'll help you get it ready, bring in a proper photographer, and price it off what's actually selling right now. You'll know where things stand the whole time.

Meet Wanita
I moved here, fell for it, and never left.
Fifteen years in St. Thomas and I still talk it up to anyone who'll listen. The porches, what you get for your money here, and the fact that Port Stanley beach is twenty minutes away.
I got into this after a move of my own went badly. My agent stopped returning calls, the closing nearly fell through, and nobody explained any of the paperwork. So I decided I'd be the opposite of that. You'll get updates in plain English, my honest read on every house I show you, and a phone I actually pick up.
When I'm not at a showing I'm usually at the farmers' market, at Pinafore Park with my kids, or scrolling listings I have no business looking at. Occupational hazard.
HonestIf a house isn't worth what they're asking, I'll say so. Even when it costs me the sale.
AroundI answer the same day. You won't be left wondering what's happening.
LocalI know which streets flood, which schools are full, and which builders cut corners.
What to expect
Here's how it usually goes.
People worry most about the parts they can't see coming. So here's the whole thing laid out before you start.
We grab a coffee
Free, and there's nothing to sign. We talk about when you want to move, what you can spend, and what's realistic right now.
We make a plan
If you're buying, I'll set up your search and introduce you to a good mortgage broker. If you're selling, you get a price, a to-do list and a date to go live.
I handle the rest
Showings, staging, photos, marketing, negotiating, inspections, lawyers. You make the calls and I'll chase everybody down.
You get the keys
And I don't vanish afterward. You'll get my list of trades I trust, and a check-in from me every year or so.
Where I work
Towns I know pretty well
Each one's a bit different, and prices vary more than people expect. Here's the honest rundown on each.

We were first-time buyers and had no idea what we were doing. Wanita talked us out of two houses before she let us buy one. That tells you everything about her.
Meaghan & Cole T.
Bought in St. Thomas
Nine days, eleven grand over asking, in a month everyone told us was dead. She had a list of things to fix on our kitchen table the day after we called.
Dave R.
Sold in London
After my husband passed I had to sell the house we'd been in for 34 years. Wanita gave me six months to get ready and never once pushed. I'd send anyone to her.
Jocelyn M.
Sold in Port Stanley
We moved from Toronto and bought without ever seeing the place. She FaceTimed us through four houses on a Saturday and caught things we'd have missed. No regrets at all.
The Okonkwo Family
Moved to Elgin County
Third house she's sold for us. She knows what we want before we do at this point. Also brought coffee to every single showing, which we loved.
Sandra & Pete L.
Sold & bought, Aylmer
