I have worked as a high school English teacher for twenty-nine years. Twenty-eight years of that career were spent working at Aldergrove Community Secondary School working with thoughtful, generous people. In 2008 my 19 year old son Devon lost his fight with cancer. Since that time, I have completed several projects: t a Masters in Education Degree from Simon Fraser University; a children's story told from the point of view of Devon's chihuahua, Dieter; a novel about Devon's life and connection to others; and a text for teachers who wish to explore the use of personal narratives in the classroom is in progress. Several years ago, I enjoyed a secondment to Simon Fraser University to work as a Faculty Associate. My job was teaching and mentoring future teachers. All these professions, passions, pursuits have been gratifying. Daily, I am inspired by Devon to add to the world and follow my heart. In 2016, I began my new career as a Realtor with Dexter Associates. I have always felt unable to work in sales but real estate, just like my cousin said is, as many sales jobs are, a helping profession. I listen and help people that I care about find their new homes, homes that represent a new life and a incredible investment. I am busy, excited, and loving life.
TESTIMONIALS
Hi Vera
Jennifer and I were so grateful to have found such a fantastic realtor. You are one in a million, so professional and caring and the hardest worker I have ever seen. You put so much effort into what house we were looking for in the worst and hardest market I have ever seen. Jen and I were extremely picky regarding the house we wanted and by some miracle you found the perfect house and below our price. I will be recommending you to all our family and friends. Thanks so much.

Hi Vera!
Leon and I were so lucky to have you as our realtor. You are so honest, trustworthy, and caring, on top of being hardworking and determined. You worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect place, and being first-time home buyers, that took a lot of time, multiple showings, and a tight budget, but you made it happen! You helped make what can be an intimidating process that much easier, and we are so grateful! We will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family, and hiring you again if we ever need another realtor! Thanks, again!
Hi,
Let me tell you about my experience with my realtor, Vera. I had a very short time to find a townhouse that would accommodate myself and my three children. Honestly, I was in a bit of a panic. As well, it was my first time purchasing a home on my own. Vera made the process easy. She spent time asking what I needed in a new home. She made sure we could view many properties as soon as possible. I always felt comfortable telling her exactly how I felt about a property. She always found answers to my many questions as well. I had great fun looking and finally finding the perfect home. Vera really looked out for me in a challenging time. Here’s the best part, I was Vera’s first sale. I have dealt with a few seasoned realtors and I can assure you I did not get even close to the service Vera provided. Thank you, Vera.
