Tenant Representation / Landlord Advisory
Jenn believes there is a need in Atlantic Canada for clients and broker partners to have a conflict free approach to CRE and representation that is about mitigation of risk for the client. Jenn decided to embark on this journey with Royal LePage Commercial East to offer another option in the market that values this approach. She believes there is a need for more women and diversity in the Commercial Real Estate industry, especially in the Atlantic Provinces, and is driven to empower this with her leadership.
Jenn has over twenty years of experience in commercial real estate, focusing on the real estate requirements for office, industrial, and corporate space occupiers.
As Managing Director of Royal LePage Commercial East, Jenn leads the growth of the company while also assisting local and multi-market clients in defining their regional, national, and global strategies. Jenn does this through an objective process to ensure the occupier maximizes their goals and the value of their real estate decisions.
Throughout her career in commercial real estate, Jenn has been involved in many facets from development to leasing. Jenn started her career in commercial land development in Toronto, but then moved to the legal side of commercial real estate because she believes in order to protect her clients the best way possible, you need to understand the transaction process from start to finish. Jenn moved to Nova Scotia in 2004 and began her Corporate Brokerage career with well known brokerages such as Avison Young and Devencore, as their multi-market Corporate Tenant Advisor for the Atlantic Provinces. Jenn has provided advice and represented a variety of companies seeking unique and complex real estate solutions; including but not limited to ABB, Hussman, Traffic Tech, Fujitsu, Ubisoft, Golder & Associates, McKesson/Invia, Yellow Pages, EHN, BFL Canada, First Canadian Title Insurance Company and Solid State Pharma.
Jenn believes that all business transactions should not happen by accident and should be built on long lasting relationships by way of honesty, transparency and trust.
