Twenty years ago, she transitioned into real estate and hasn’t looked back, obtaining her broker’s licence by 2008. For someone who is motivated, determined and eager to provide clients with superior customer service while helping them reach their real estate dreams, it’s perhaps not surprising that she has become a multi-award-winning Realtor.

Working with Alison means having someone on your side who takes the time to understand your personal family needs while also being a strong negotiator, personable, committed, honest and caring, to provide you with the most comprehensive real estate services available, led by customer satisfaction.
