There aren't words to explain my gratitude to Kat and her family. When a last-minute placement fell through, Kat welcomed me with open arms, warmth, and generosity. I quickly learned this is her entire being. Working with Kat at their the home Lakes property was a dream and staying with her family in Toronto was fun and just the connection I was chasing. It was rewarding working towards their goal for the property and like a dream swimming in the home with the picturesque background. Kat always made sure I was comfortable and engaged. Thank you - You'll always be my second family.

RIANNA!!!❤ It is so amazing how life works... and who we meet when and why. It was a pure joy to have you land in our home and bring your incredible fun and focussed energy to help me stay on track with the many projects always spinning. So awesome that we both felt we won the lottery ! It was like a non-stop work party with you around and your signature is in the many little upgrades and refinements around Starty Lake and our home. SO AWESOME!! Thank You so much. You are a total Gem.

Thanks Ali! Obviously it has been totally amazing having you with us for the last month.... so much has happened and so much got done. I am having trouble figuring out how to leave a proper review for you.. SO in case anyone is reading this wanting to find out about Ali- SHE IS AWESOME.. so easy to be with, very gentle, kind, caring, thoughtful, considerate.... I felt like after 5 minutes of knowing her she is the kind of person you can trust totally- no problem to have Ali in your home... :-)
