From sommelier to Ruby Award-winning real estate advisor, Lucy combines 15 years of hospitality expertise with deep local knowledge and professional designations to deliver an organized yet relaxed approach to Cape Breton real estate, helping clients find not just properties, but their perfect place in this remarkable coastal community.
What happens when you combine professional sommelier expertise with a passion for Cape Breton real estate? You get Lucy - an advisor who turned a summer job in Margaree into a decade-long love affair with the island and a thriving real estate career. Achieving Ruby Award status in just her second year with Engel & Völkers, Lucy brings a refreshing blend of professional acumen and authentic Maritime charm to every transaction.
Her approach is as versatile as Cape Breton itself - whether she's showcasing luxury waterfront properties or helping developers unlock the potential of commercial ventures, Lucy brings the perfect mix of organized efficiency and relaxed professionalism. Drawing from 15 years in hospitality, she understands that real estate isn't just about properties; it's about creating experiences and relationships that last.
As a board member for "A Home for Everyone" and a dedicated community advocate, Lucy doesn't just sell properties in Western Cape Breton - she helps people find their place in a community she proudly calls home. Her unique combination of Development Services and Commercial E&V designations, coupled with her intimate knowledge of the tourism and hospitality sector, makes her an invaluable resource for both residential and commercial clients.
When she's not negotiating deals, you might find Lucy on the golf course, tending to her vegetable garden, or sharing her sommelier insights. Her philosophy is simple: "If it were any easier, everyone would be here. Because it's just so beautiful." It's this authentic appreciation for Cape Breton's unique character that helps her clients see not just the property, but the lifestyle possibilities it holds.

As a real estate advisor, my goal is to be by your side every step of the way, ensuring you feel educated and empowered to make the best decisions. I believe the process should be as enjoyable and exciting as it is informed, combining expert guidance with a friendly approach to create a truly rewarding experience.
