My ideal weekend is…
Heading from Niagara to Muskoka in the summer or hitting the slopes in winter. I look forward to teaching my new grandchildren how to windsurf and ski someday.
My favourite vacation was…
A car trip across France with my eldest daughter. We had no plans and no real destination…we just traveled around for about 8 days stopping wherever and whenever we liked and enjoyed great food, wine, and adventure.
One day I’d like to…
Charter a beautiful 45 ft Beneteau sailboat and spend 2 weeks or maybe even a month, exploring the British Virgin Islands.
My dream home would be…
In Niagara of course! A Grand post and beam home overlooking a beautiful Lake Ontario or Lake Erie complete with docks and boathouse. A fun and happy place where family and grand kids could spend their summers.

Testimonials
"We would like to thank you again for the hard work you both did to sell our house in Jordan. We are very impressed with the team of local professionals and trades people that you have to draw on. This made both the home preparation and the moving experience flawless and stress free. Your knowledge of the local market, marketing skills (digital and traditional), and friendly, natural personalities made this an experience that we felt confident in and not shying away from applying a bit of elbow grease capped it all off.
We can’t recommend the Petrie team highly enough!"
