Your Guide to Roatan Real Estate

From Canadian Real Estate Pro to Island Living Expert

Fifteen years ago, I made a decision that changed my life forever.

I left my successful real estate career in Canada to pursue a dream of tropical living.

Today, as a RE/MAX agent with Roatan Real Estate Tours, I help other North Americans make that same life-changing transition with the confidence that comes from someone who's actually walked this path.

My Journey to Paradise

My international property adventure began at a real estate seminar in Canada where I first learned about investing in Costa Rica. I bought a lot there, visited, and fell in love with the idea of tropical retirement. The plan was to move to Costa Rica when my daughter graduated high school.

But when that time came in 2010, Costa Rica had become too expensive, and Ecuador's cloudy "dry season" reminded me too much of those BC overcast days I was trying to escape.

Everything changed when my Canadian neighbours who had moved to Trujillo, Honduras, suggested we explore their new country.

Flying over the stunning mountains of Honduras, I knew instantly this was where I belonged. A chance conversation at a beachside B&B in Sambo Creek led us to a property that had just been drastically reduced! One of those opportunities you simply can't pass up.

December 1st, 35 days later, my daughter and I had moved from Canada with five suitcases, two cats, and a dog, ready to start our new adventure.

Discovering Roatan

While running our mainland bed & breakfast and restaurant was incredibly rewarding, it was a trip to Roatan for my daughter's 21st birthday that truly captured my heart.

We came to swim with dolphins, but I left knowing I'd found exactly what I'd been searching for all along.

When arthritis began affecting my quality of life, a friend mentioned stem cell treatment available in Roatan with an American doctor at the GARM Clinic.

That treatment, performed over 12 years ago, completely resolved my arthritis, today I walk like nothing was ever wrong.

It was the final confirmation that Roatan was meant to be my permanent home.

Why I Understand Your Journey

Having made the complete transition from Canadian real estate professional to Roatan resident, I understand every concern, question, and excitement you're experiencing.

I know what it's like to:

Wonder about the safety and security of moving to Honduras
Navigate foreign ownership laws and buying processes
Find the right neighborhood that matches your personality and lifestyle
Adapt to island time while still getting things accomplished
Miss certain conveniences while discovering amazing local alternatives

My Expertise Advantage

With over 20 years of real estate experience and over 10 years of island living, I offer something unique in the Roatan market: I've been where you are, and I'm living where you want to be.

I specialize in helping retirees, snowbirds and investors find their perfect piece of paradise. Whether that's a vacation condo in West Bay, a social hub location in West End, or a peaceful retreat in the developing East End, I don't just match you with a property, I match you with a lifestyle.
