Stephanie Maye

Investing in rental property began for her at age 20 and she and her husband bought their first industrial property she was 25, so after that, it was pretty clear that God planted within her an innate love of big business and high finance which has since led to serving the business community with their real estate needs! Stephanie and her husband, with their 2 children call Barrie their launching pad where they also enjoy a large family circle that has been in the Simcoe County community for over 7 generations.

Stephanie holds 3 prestigious designations, CCIM – Certified Commercial Investment Member, SIOR – Society of Industrial and Office Realtors, which means she has been proven and tested by way of education and volume of sales that she specializes in Investment Analysis and Asset management, the stuff that Pension Funds and Trust companies do, to determine how to best position commercial real estate holdings through real estate cycles to maximize profits. Stephanie is also a certified Family Enterprise Advisor which means she can guide your investment decisions to put the security of your family assets at the forefront.
