Feeling so grateful today for clients who entrusted me with their real estate journey. It’s truly a privilege to work with people who value the process as much as the outcome.

I loved every moment of working with these clients, helping them reach their real estate goals. When the passion is focused on achieving my clients’ dreams, the journey becomes enjoyable, and the results speak for themselves. Seeing clients feel thankful and fulfilled at the end of it all is exactly why I love what I do.

Thank you to my amazing clients for your trust. Here’s to continued success, one home at a time.

Here are 5 haunted castles from around the world! The first one you might recognize: the historic Fairmont Banff Springs, right here in our own backyard. Known as the “Castle of the Rockies,” this beautiful landmark combines stunning architecture with a few playful ghost stories that only add to its charm. Whether you’re exploring its grand halls, admiring the mountain views, or hearing about the friendly “Ghost Bride,” each visit offers an unforgettable experience—and a hint of mystery!

Can you guess the other four haunted castles that made Architectural Digest’s list? Each has its own unique allure and tales that captivate visitors year after year.

Have a happy and spooky Halloween!

Working with these refined clients was an incredible experience—one marked by patience, precision, and a clear vision. We spent a long time searching for the right property, one that wasn’t just a home but also made sense as an investment. After an extensive search, we found exactly what was needed—a new build with beautiful views, a park right at the front, and a smart home.

This home is a temporary haven during an exciting transition as my clients build their dream home. It offers the space to accommodate their family without limiting their lifestyle—a place to thrive today while planning for tomorrow.

What makes this property even more special is the opportunity it holds. With projects already on the horizon, there’s room for improvement, creativity, and adding value. I can’t wait to see how this home evolves into something truly exceptional.

It’s a joy to help clients not only find a house but secure a meaningful investment for their future. This journey is a perfect reminder—sometimes, the right place is worth the wait.

Family time after a day of open house and work. Simple moments with great food – just the way we like it!

We especially loved the scallop rolls, but everything else we ordered was so delicious!

And the coconut matcha whip next door at though amazing, kept me awake all night 😅 (will have it again anyway).

Big news for home buyers and investors! The Bank of Canada has just cut its key interest rate by 50 basis points. This could mean lower mortgage rates and improved affordability for those looking to enter the market or refinance.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move or securing a better rate, now might be the perfect time! Let’s chat about how this could impact your home-buying or investing plans.

As Calgary experiences its first snowfall, it’s a reminder that winter is just around the corner. If you’re selling your home during the colder months, here are a few tips to maximize its cozy appeal and make it stand out to potential buyers.

Winter is the perfect time to show potential buyers just how cozy and inviting your home can be. When selling in the colder months, it’s easier to highlight the ‘home’ in house with a few simple touches. Here are 4 ways to make your space feel warm and welcoming during showings:

1. Warm, soft lighting: Use lamps, candles, and soft lighting to create a warm, inviting glow. Especially in winter, lighting can instantly transform a space, making it feel cozy and comfortable.

2. Create cozy seating areas: Arrange soft blankets, plush pillows, and a cozy throw on the sofa. A comfy corner or reading nook helps buyers imagine themselves relaxing in the space.

3. Enhance the warmth: If you have a fireplace, light it up for showings to make the home feel extra inviting. Even if not, keep the thermostat set to a warm, comfortable temperature, so buyers feel at ease the moment they walk in.

4. Scents and sounds of comfort: Add subtle winter scents like cinnamon or vanilla and play soft, relaxing music to make the atmosphere even more pleasant. It’s all about creating an experience buyers can feel as soon as they step inside.

With just a few thoughtful touches, you can make your home a cozy winter retreat that buyers won’t want to leave.

If you’d like more tips on selling your home, I’m always available to help. Never hesitate to share your own ideas for making your home feel even cozier this winter!

It’s always exciting when we reach this step, especially for new builds like today’s beauty that my clients are already in love with—and for good reason! Today, we’re going to make sure everything is as perfect as it looks (because, let’s face it, new doesn’t always mean there isn’t room for improvement!)

One of our top home inspectors is here to make sure every detail is covered.
Let’s refine this final step!

October is here, and it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the cold months ahead! As Calgary winters can be harsh, here are five essential tasks every homeowner should tackle this fall:

1. Clean Gutters and Downspouts
Clear out leaves and debris to prevent blockages. Clogged gutters can freeze and cause water damage or ice damming when the snow starts to fall.
2. Seal Windows and Doors
Keep the heat in and the cold out! Apply weather stripping or caulk to any gaps or cracks around windows and doors to improve energy efficiency and stay warm.
3. Furnace Maintenance
Schedule a furnace inspection and replace filters to ensure it’s running smoothly. A little attention now can prevent costly repairs later—and keep your home toasty!
4. Disconnect Hoses and Shut Off Outdoor Faucets
Drain and store your garden hoses, and turn off exterior faucets to prevent frozen pipes. It’s a simple step that can save you from major headaches in the winter.
5. Inspect Roof and Chimney
Before the snow hits, check for loose shingles or damage to your roof, and clean out your chimney if you have one. Preventative care now ensures your home is winter-ready.

These quick tasks can help keep your home safe, warm, and energy-efficient during Calgary’s cold winter months. Stay cozy and prepared this season!

What’s your go-to fall maintenance task to prepare for winter? Let me know in the comments!

Ever dreamt of soaking in a whirlpool bath with a full window view, surrounded by natural light and the peacefulness of mature trees?

Imagine unwinding in this spa-like oasis that feels like your private retreat amidst nature—all while being steps away from the best of Sunnyside.

Discover this stunning property at 608 1 Avenue NW, Calgary and make those dreams a reality. Can you picture yourself here?

Much like the scenic roads leading to the mountains, the Calgary real estate market is full of new opportunities this fall.

But while there are now more options to choose from, well-priced and well-marketed homes are still moving quickly.

If you’ve been hesitating to enter the market, now might be the perfect time. Calgary remains one of the most affordable major cities in Canada, attracting both individuals and companies who seek a balanced lifestyle and stunning mountain views. But don’t wait—whether you’re a buyer or a seller, timing and strategy are crucial in today’s market.

For buyers, this means a chance to finally find a home without the same level of stress as previous years, but you need to act fast. For sellers, it’s all about making your property stand out and appealing—shining the brightest amidst a beautiful fall backdrop. A strategic price, compelling presentation, and strong marketing plan are key to ensuring your home grabs attention.

Ready to explore your options or make your home shine? Let’s connect and carve out the best path for your real estate goals.

With more listings hitting the market and conditions evolving, Calgary is moving towards a balanced real estate landscape. But what does this mean for YOU as a buyer or seller?

The current market provides a prime opportunity to showcase your property’s value. Strategic pricing is more important than ever—particularly for homes over $700k, where increased demand can lead to competitive offers.

Now is your chance to capitalize on more options and better opportunities to negotiate, especially on higher-priced homes. With inventory rising, you have a variety of choices, but well-priced properties are moving quickly!

Grateful beyond words for my amazing clients. Your kind words and trust mean everything to me. Helping you achieve your real estate goals is what drives me, and knowing you’re satisfied makes it all worth it. This is why I do what I do. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey!

𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡

There’s nothing quite like starting the week with our Monday morning meeting at my brokerage Coldwell Banker Mountain Central. I value these sessions enormously since they are packed with very useful industry related information: market trends, neighborhood updates, and key strategies that help me better serve my clients. Every single time I leave these meetings, I feel more empowered, ready to take real estate to the next level.

It doesn’t matter what industry we are in—we always have to grow, evolve, and make it better. I’m a strong advocate for constant growth and learning, and these meetings are a huge part of that for me.

Learning how to negotiate, discovering new ways to elevate the client experience, and soaking in the wealth of knowledge from our broker and industry professionals is what makes these sessions invaluable. I wouldn’t trade them for anything!

It’s no secret that I absolutely love learning directly from the source. Having that accessibility, support, and guidance at my fingertips makes all the difference. A huge thank you to Rob Vanovermeire for putting a lot of effort into these weekly meetings!

But I know everyone has their favorite way to learn! How do you prefer to grow? Are you more of a hands-on learner like me who thrives in meetings, or do you prefer reading, webinars, or figuring things out on your own? I’d love to hear—share your favorite method below!

Today marks the official sale and possession of the property we co-listed with Ruth! The new owners now have the keys to this cherished home, and the sellers went above and beyond, leaving a heartfelt welcome card along with pantry and kitchen essentials as a thoughtful gesture.

It was a pleasure to work with such caring sellers from start to finish. The process is always intense, filled with constant communication, and when it comes to a close, it’s a bittersweet moment of saying goodbye and watching them start their next chapter. Yet, I’ll always remember the great experience and hope to stay in touch with these amazing clients!

𝗔𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆: 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲’𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

I love the days when I can slow down for a morning walk, usually early, and take the time—without feeling rushed—to reflect on where I am at this moment. I thank the universe for all the amazing things that have happened in my life and try to set an intention for the day.

Today’s intention is to remember that what is in front of me is my life, and all I need to do is fully embrace it. To take those two minutes to dance with my son or let the gentle sunrise bathe my face. To look around, notice the birds in the sky, the clouds moving, and to feed my dog patiently.

I also want to enjoy those precious moments with my sons—really noticing my teenager’s world as it rushes by and savoring the joy of cooking dinner together. Taking those 20 minutes before bedtime to hug my son and read him a short story.

We often rush to the next thing: the call to return, the research to finish, the next great achievement. But the beauty and magic come from living each moment to its true potential. It’s unrealistic to do this all the time, but it’s good to remember this as often as possible—even if it only takes a few minutes each day.

Instead of going to bed exhausted every night and waking up anxious about all the work ahead, I wish for us to appreciate what’s in front of us more often.

Above all, we are someone’s parent, a mother, a partner, a friend. We owe it to ourselves to live, not just survive and rush to the next thing. Success is part of our evolution and fulfillment, but not when we don’t take the time to notice, feel, breathe, appreciate and savour the simplest moments and the extremely important ones that really matter and keep us moving forward.

I hope you have a beautiful Sunday and get to take a few moments to breathe and appreciate the present.
