For over 44 years, I have proudly called Peterborough home—more specifically, the charming Village of Ashburnham (East City). Surrounded by beautiful walking and bike trails, stunning lake views, countless parks, the Canoe Museum, restaurants, and unique local shops, this community has always felt like the perfect place to live. Its small-town charm and close-knit feel are what have kept me here and inspired me to raise my own children in this incredible city. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others find their place in Peterborough and begin their own real estate journey. As a busy mother of five amazing children, I cherish any opportunity to spend quality time with them. Whether it’s learning to play their favorite sports, setting out on adventurous hikes, backcountry camping, fishing, or canoe trips, I have a deep love for the outdoors. These experiences keep me grounded and continually remind me of all that Peterborough has to offer. When I’m not on an outdoor adventure with my kids, you’ll likely find me taking solace in a long motorcycle ride along scenic, winding roads. Growing up, I was taught the value of hard work and lifelong learning. I gained hands-on experience in home repairs from generations of skilled individuals—learning everything from plumbing and flooring installation to small electrical work. I’m no stranger to power tools, and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. These invaluable lessons allow me to keep my clients well-informed about their real estate investments and properties. With a strong background in customer service, I believe in building relationships based on honesty, integrity, and dedication. My goal is to make the buying or selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Additionally, my education in Home Staging & Re-Design allows me to offer clients a keen eye for detail, helping them present their homes in the best possible light. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’m here to provide expert advice, local market knowledge, and a personalized approach to meet your unique needs.

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.

I have enjoyed living and working in Peterborough for over 10 years now and I'm proud to call it home. Very excited to join the EXIT Realty Liftlock Brokerage and help people find their dream home. I have excellent customer service skills and love meeting and working with new people. I have great listening skills and will always negotiate the best price for my clients.
