As single mother of 2, top area realtor, community activist and philanthropist, I have had my fair share of obstacles to overcome in both my business and personal life. I have been fortunate to be blessed with a family that has for the most part been in good health, but being in a business that takes you into people’s lives, families and homes, I have seen first hand the suffering and heartbreak as well as the joys and triumphs that having a sick child generates. I believe that we all have a responsibility to give of ourselves and that giving start the receiving process. I have the power to shine light onto any situation and aim to serve as motivation to others that life is beautiful and grand and that in the face of adversity and in times of challenges that there are people in the world who really do care. It is my duty to share this gift with others and being inspirational and making a difference in peoples lives is my motivation.
With over 10 years of real estate experience & 12 years of education in Personal development, having been trained in both Canada and the US, I have had the honour and privilege of coaching people and helping them in the areas of life that matter to them.
Passion, strength, relentless effort and an unwavering commitment to excellence have been, and will continue to be my guiding principles. I aim to impress on people that you truly can HAVE IT ALL!.
Now specializing in the purchase and sale of luxury properties and specialized projects in Italy, I am happy to share my international contacts and network to assist sales associates and the general public in buying or selling real estate abroad.

I was never fully aware how much Toronto SickKids Hospital and their staff do for Children and Families until I met Bruce Johnson and his family. We take so much for granted as life sails along smoothly until you or someone you know is struck by illness. Children’s Miracle Network and Toronto SickKids are here every single day helping families cope when something does happen with kind and supportive staff and the latest in treatments and research. This would not be possible without our donations and initiatives like Motorcycles for Miracles. We often say and hear that “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child” – I am honoured to a part of that Village.

We were very blessed to only have to visit CHEO for the run-of-the-mill bumps, bruises and bit-through tongues with our two children (more with one than the other). One of the biggest reasons we support CMN would have to be our niece Chrissy and her husband Chris’ twin daughters Charlotte & Alexandra (Alex).
Chrissy went into labour at 24 weeks with no warning. Late that night Alex was born. Charlotte lasted another 5 days. Alex was 1lbs 1oz and Charlotte was 1lbs 5oz. They spent 4 and a half months in the hospital. During that time Charlotte had heart surgery at 2 weeks old. Alex needed the same surgery but was too sick to have it done. At just 3 weeks they thought Alex was not going to make it, but by some miracle and her determination, she pulled through. Chrissy finally got to hold Alex for the first time when she was just over a month old. She was ventilated for 2 months, Charlotte for 1 month and then move up to CPAP and then just oxygen. Charlotte came home on oxygen and was on it for almost a year. They both suffered many infections due to their poor immune systems. Alex had eye surgery at 3 months old. They finally got to come home 2 weeks after their original due date.
Alex and Charlotte were followed by CHEO very closely for the first 3 years. They are now healthy 7-year-olds with next to no health issues! The service they received from CHEO and the NICU at the General was unbelievable; so many amazing doctors and nurses there.
It was during Bruce & Holly’s first Motorcycle for Miracles adventure that it really hit me. The Johnson family story touched me. It was that summer that I changed my contribution model from transactions I did to transactions the team did and Doubled Up the contribution amount.
Here are a couple of pics of my little giggle monsters! Love them to bits!
Moe and Susan’s Community Involvement:
Proud supporters of the Kanata Food Cupboard through food drives and donations
Susan is the founder and Co-Chair of the Zombie Run for Humanity, now in its 4thyear. A 5KM cross country race with obstacles (& of course Zombies…). Done completely through volunteers and all proceeds raised go directly to “Habitat for Humanity – Greater Ottawa”
Moe is the President of the “Rotary Club of Nepean-Kanata”
Susan and Moe generously donate portions of their commissions from every purchase or sale, not only that they do, but also every member of their team does to CMN, and more specifically Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
Susan has been recognized by Distinctive Women Magazine as the Philanthropist of the Year two years running for her
Children’s Miracle Network; the name is why I decided to donate towards such a cause. Truthfully, I watched the video of why Bruce decided to do the Motorcycle for Miracles ride. And that in itself, is why I decided. For someone to go above and beyond and ride across the country with his daughter, made me realize why can’t I help out too? Even though I am not riding across the country this small donation will help others realize children are our miracles.
I find that this ride is a way to bring heart, strength, love and awareness into each and everyone’s home. I am not personally affected by the children’s miracle network, but know people who have been fortunate enough to have used their support and services. It’s all about the saying: “A little bit goes a long way.”
About Erin
Raised in a “Real Estate Family” in the Toronto area, I moved to Barrie in 2010. With the encouragement of family and friends, I launched myself into a real estate career, joining a top producing brokerage in Simcoe County. This is where I now represent my clients homes and estates.
I am fortunate to have 3 healthy kids. As a mother, all you want is for your kids to live a happy and healthy life.
We know the need is important, so if we are able to make a donation to SickKids for improved child health and life saving care, it’s a difference we are glad to make.
