I help people sell and buy their homes
As your real estate professional, I can offer you honesty, transparency, and integrity. I will also ensure that I provide you with market expertise, construction knowledge, and strong negotiation skills to help you find and purchase, or sell your home for the best price.
I’m a lifelong Winnipegger, and I grew up and still live in the St. James area. As a cancer survivor, I intend to bring positivity to every client interaction. My parents, my late father, a former accountant, and my mother, a teacher, instilled in me a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and problem-solving abilities.
My career has included tax consulting, technical sales, and project and property management. I founded RONE Properties, managing multi-family properties and renovations. I have extensive experience in technical sales, project management, construction oversight, and working with various government and stakeholders in real estate renovations and development.
I’m very active in the community, and am acting president of Freestyle Manitoba, and have volunteered with St. James A’s baseball as a convenor for AAA and AA provincials. I reside in Heritage with my wife, Michelle, a physical education teacher at a local elementary school. We have two high-achieving children: Rowan, who is graduating from the U of M as a nurse, and Neveah, who is heading to Coker University in South Carolina on a lacrosse scholarship. We also have a miniature pinscher chihuahua named Oliver.

Here are the most frequently asked questions about selling your home
For Sellers
Market conditions, seasonality, and local events can influence the best time to list your home. Generally early spring is the best time to sell, but fall after the September long weekend up until the end of October generally performs fairly well too! Normally summer is slower with winter being the slowest.
Understanding your current market (seller’s or buyer’s) helps in pricing and negotiation.
Be transparent about any known issues or defects with the property.
Consult with me to determine fair market value based on comparable sales. Your home evaluation will vary pending on market conditions.
Understand the marketing strategy, syndication with other websites, including online presence, open houses, and other promotional activities.
Consider cosmetic updates or necessary repairs to enhance marketability. I have a bundle of great contacts who can help you get what you’re looking for in regards to renovations!
For Buyers
You need to get pre-approved for a mortgage from a financial institution to understand your budget and financing options. Consult a mortgage broker or a mortgage specialist at your favorite bank.
Research comparable sales to assess the property’s value.
If it’s passed the offer date, then yes, although you will need to understand the seller’s willingness to negotiate on the price. If it’s before the offer date, it could go into multiple bids, so you need to strategize on an effective strategy, while being patient to not overpay for a home.
Clarify which chattels and fixtures, and other items are included in the purchase.
Inquire about any existing warranties on the home or its systems.
Inquire about any existing warranties on the home or its systems.
A home inspection helps identify potential issues before finalizing the purchase. You should ALWAYS consider getting a home inspection wherever possible.
Understand the various costs associated with closing the transaction. Generally you can budget 2% of gross purchase price which should cover all closing costs including land transfer taxes, registration of title, lawyer fees, title insurance, etc.
