More about Colette

Real estate isn’t just about property for me — it’s about people, stories, and helping clients step into a new chapter of their lives with confidence. Before joining the industry almost three years ago, I spent 20+ years in office management, airport stakeholder engagement, and managing Corporate Social Investment campaigns — all of which taught me the value of communication, connection, and trust. Those experiences shaped how I show up for my clients today: with professionalism, empathy, and a deep understanding of what matters most. Over the past two years, I’ve proudly helped nearly 30 clients buy or sell their homes, with many taking the time to share kind reviews about their experience. I believe every successful property journey begins with a genuine relationship, and I’m passionate about guiding my clients through every step with care and clarity. Joining eXp is an exciting new chapter — one that allows me to grow, collaborate, and continue making a difference, one home at a time. Because finding the right home isn’t just business — it’s personal. Your Property Gain is my Top Aim.
