Location
About
I know this area very well, having lived in Creston since I was nine years old, when my family moved here from Prince George, BC. My family and I truly appreciate the nice mild winters and wonderful fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown in this beautiful valley. My list of enjoyable things to do in the area includes hiking the mountains, walking my dog and enjoying the scenery, golfing on the challenging Creston Golf Course and swimming in the newly renovated recreation center. I also belong to a women’s singing group, Key of She, which I enjoy very much.
Experience
I have first hand knowledge of the real estate industry, having worked for 8 years as the office administrator at RE/MAX Discovery Real Estate before taking the courses and getting my real estate license. I previously held positions in the accounting profession for more than twenty years here in Creston. I am very detail oriented, conscientious and confidential. I understand the responsibility entrusted to me by both buyers and sellers, specifically the responsibility associated with handling such a major, lifelong investment as that of one’s home. I do not take this responsibility lightly. Key principles for me are commitment and integrity. I am a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association, the B.C. Real Estate Association and the Kootenay Association of Realtors.
I raised my three children in this valley and family is very important to me. It has become my passion to help other families find their dream homes. I would love to help you find yours. I am Compassionate, Committed and Competent. Let's Make it Happen! Call Shelley Griffith!
