With a stunning waterfront, a vibrant downtown and great parks and schools, Barrie is an amazing place to call home!
Affordability for first time buyers still exists in our area! It is more affordable to carry a mortgage than it is to pay rent to your landlord every month - by far! You may be surprised to learn that you could qualify for a mortgage, so don't be afraid to contact me and ask how to find out.
Whatever your real estate plans are, I have over 11 years of full-time experience to help you get there!

It’s that time of the week for you to feel
the rush! This Saturday June 7th at 6:30 PM we are starting a grand day of
races - It’s legends weekend at Sunset Speedway! Prepare for the most diverse
day of racing this month as we are host to 4 different race series on
Saturday. Prepare to enjoy our legends races where we pit rookies that have
never raced before on the same track with veterans that have raced for years.
The legends races are the most affordable, competitive and fun for amateur
and advanced racers - its the series that fans want to see and drivers want
to race in. Following our legends races are the Canadian Vintage Modifieds
where you can see your favorite classic Canadian modified cars battling it
out for the win. Stay for the exciting Hurricane Midgets. This unique series
features ¼ scale sprint style cars powered by snowmobile engines! The
hurricanes are just entering their 2nd race in the series. Come see the
tension rise as current leader John Karley fights to keep his spot from 2nd
place rival Brian Atkinson. Finally, the super fun mini stocks will be
speeding down the oval track to bring in the night. Purchase tickets online
or come down to Sunset International Speedway at 6918 Yonge St in Innisfil to
purchase general admission tickets. It’s always smart to show up early to get
your tickets and seats - gates are open 90 minutes prior to race starts. Want
