I've called Peterborough home for over 10 years, and have been raising my family in Lakefield for the past six. After running a successful downtown business for seven years, I transitioned into real estate with a deep love and appreciation for the area's unique charm and vibrant community. With 20 years in the service industry, I bring strong work ethic, integrity, and attention to detail to help buyers, sellers, and investors find their perfect property in Peterborough and the Kawartha Region. This region has seen remarkable growth and is now one of the most desirable areas west of the GTA. From vibrant arts and entertainment to incredible restaurants and beautiful lakes, Peterborough & The Kawartha's have it all. I'm committed to sharing my love for this community and helping you achieve all your real estate goals. Let's work together to make your real estate dreams a reality!

I was born in the Peterborough area and moved to attend college in Toronto. I spent 20 years in the software industry, traveling throughout the North American continent to provide consulting services to various industries. I was fortunate enough to gain valuable experience in many complex, multi-million dollar deals with high success in customer satisfaction and profitability. Always in the back of my mind was the desire to move back to Peterborough where my wife and I planned to raise our children, with all the benefits that this fantastic area offers. Having many contacts in the real estate industry, I chose EXIT Realty Liftlock, Brokerage because they share the same high quality standards that I have always demanded in my work environment. If you have any real estate needs, and would like to work with a professional and diligent real estate representative, please do not hesitate to call or email me.

Hi, I’m Shirley-but many people call me Shirl’s Your Girl or Shirls! I’ve built my business in Peterborough on a simple but powerful idea: real estate should feel personal, not transactional. I’m here to guide you through one of life’s biggest decisions with honesty, kindness, and expertise you can count on. Before real estate, I was a police dispatcher, an educator and a community advocate. Those roles taught me how to stay calm in chaos, listen intently, and care deeply about the people I serve. Today, I bring that same energy into everything I do- whether you’re buying your first home, selling a family property, or downsizing into your next chapter. I don’t take shortcuts. I work hard, I show up early, and I treat your investment like it’s my own. I’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s not the easy answer, and I’ll steer you away from a bad deal if it’s not right for you, because your trust means more to me than any commission ever could. I’ve also had the privilege of serving as the Campaign Cabinet Chair for United Way Peterborough, a role that reflects my commitment to this incredible community. I’m a proud mom, devoted wife and someone who knows what it’s like to navigate real life- with all its highs, lows and unexpected turns. If you’re looking for someone who will go all in for you, protect your interests, and make the process feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more human, I’m your girl.
