Real estate comes with it's own set of potential challenges which can be daunting. If you're buying or selling a home you need a seasoned professional to navigate the process with you. We understand the significance of budgets and affordability, and protecting your interests with aspects such as conditions to an offer. This is an area in which we excel because in the long run it is these skills that result in us creating long term relationships with our clients. In the bigger picture you need a top real estate agent who is empathetic to your particular situation and whose goal is to work with you for their own job satisfaction. This is who we are at Parker Real Estate.

Born and raised in Summerland and also raising my family here, my knowledge of the Okanagan is as home-grown as it gets. I love the Okanagan Valley - it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. The unique little enclave that stands out in the valley is Summerland – it’s small, without being small town, it’s staggeringly beautiful in all four seasons.

When someone is looking for a home in Summerland or the surrounding area, I am passionate about finding them the perfect home to suit them and their family to the core. I know where to look and who to talk to to find them. I always negotiate with my clients best interests at the forefront.

It’s the same when working for the seller. It’s about bringing two parties together and making it happen. My promise is to get my clients the best outcome possible. This is why I am in real estate. For me, the fulfillment of that promise is the ultimate in job satisfaction.kanagan Valley - it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
