Born and raised on a horse farm in Caledon East, Jennifer (Jen) has been in the midst of local change as Peel Region has evolved into more urban communities. Once a landscape of cattle, crops, and horses, and many more dirt roads, she has seen the demand for homes and properties become more limited in availability and more specific in requirements.

Jen attended high school at Humberview in Bolton, while at the same time racing a stable of Standardbred horses. This led to a role with an industry group introducing selected kids to caring for, and driving, a retired racehorse in an exhibition race. So successful was this, that an adult version was also created and implemented.

Her background eventually led to her becoming a racing steward (judge) at Ontario racetracks, but significant changes in the industry changed her career direction.

During this time, she could not ignore the changes in the real estate market, having bought and sold several times herself. She has also seen local developments encroach on her family’s farm, and the impact and limitations of environmental groups such as Oak Ridges Moraine, NEC, OMB, municipal and regional official plans. 

Always loving to view country property, especially farms, she is excited about getting out, walking the land, and talking horses!

Jen is thrilled to be working for The Richie Group—RE/MAX In The Hills Inc., where she stays current on ‘the buzz’ and is surrounded by people who are experts in the area. She is especially thrilled to be working in the area she has always called home!

In her free time, Jen loves to ride her retired Standardbreds in the back fields of her family farm, cycle along the Caledon Trail, and finish off the day with a good book!
