About Me
With 15 years of experience in the real estate industry, my greatest satisfaction comes from helping clients achieve their goals and consistently exceeding their expectations. Whether negotiating the best price for a home, navigating a fast-paced market, or providing guidance on design and renovation, I take a highly personalized approach where my clients’ needs always come first. This commitment has earned me the Chairman’s Award at Chestnut Park Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage from 2020–2025, following the Vice Chairman’s Award from 2017–2019.
Clients value not only my expertise in real estate sales, but also my experience in property management, design, and renovation. Some of my most rewarding personal projects have involved transforming existing spaces, as well as overseeing the demolition and construction of a new luxury home. I also designed and managed the renovation of our vacation home in Sonoma, California—an experience that further deepened my appreciation for thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship.
Originally from Vancouver, BC, I spent eight years as an art dealer at two of Canada’s leading art galleries before transitioning to real estate full-time. Art has always been a personal passion, and I had the privilege of working with exceptional works from some of the country’s most important private collections. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Business and remain actively engaged in Toronto’s arts and cultural community as a member of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Soho House, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
My background in art, design, and real estate gives me a unique perspective on property—one that combines market expertise with an appreciation for architecture, aesthetics, and the details that make a house feel like home.
And, in case you were wondering, my name is pronounced Merr-AY-ta.
