About Ana

I grew up in Croatia and across Southern Europe, where heritage preservation is woven into the fabric of daily life. Historic homes—many with centuries-old stone walls, arched doorways, and original fireplaces—aren't just real estate. They're repositories of culture, craftsmanship, and community memory. In countries like Croatia and Italy, I learned that the most beautiful homes are those where original architectural elements are respected and celebrated, not erased.

A 16th-century Croatian home—where my passion for heritage preservation began. Original stone walls, wooden beams, and thoughtful modern updates create harmony between past and present.

That perspective shapes everything I do. I believe heritage homes should honor their past while embracing modern comfort. Original stone walls, arched windows, and period fireplaces are preserved with care—their craftsmanship showcased. Simultaneously, thoughtful renovations introduce modern luxuries: beautiful kitchen islands, updated plumbing systems, contemporary finishes. The goal is harmony: old and new working together, not against each other.

When I moved to Vancouver, I was captivated by the heritage homes throughout the Lower Mainland—from Shaughnessy and the west side to Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, West Vancouver, the North Shore, and Burnaby. These properties represent generations of architectural excellence, family stories, and careful stewardship. Yet I noticed that many heritage homes were being marketed like any other property—their character and significance overlooked. Some were being stripped of their original features to appeal to modern tastes. That troubled me.

That's when I realized my calling: to represent heritage homes in a way that honors their legacy while connecting them with buyers who truly understand their value. I specialize in finding the right match—not just the highest bidder, but the buyer who will preserve and cherish what you've built, and who appreciates the beauty of blending heritage with modern living.
