Some days I feel like I’m spinning plates—being a mom, a daughter caring for a parent with a terminal illness, and a full-time realtor. Life doesn’t always make it easy. But one thing I know for certain: I’ve found the right place to stand strong—RE/MAX Excellence.

The brokerage you choose isn’t just about a name on your business card—it’s a reflection of who you are. I chose a team where I could lean on the wisdom of senior agents, learn from their balance between work and life, and build a career that doesn’t sacrifice my other commitments. Continuous learning is a must for me, because being “better” tomorrow than I am today is what keeps me moving.

Of course, not every day is smooth sailing. There are moments when I get frustrated—like when I negotiate a dream deal for my clients: a custom new build, with almost every item on the wish list, priced nearly $80,000 under a comparable. That kind of win doesn’t come without effort. It means three and a half months of work, seven trips to the site, five home visits, countless calls, texts, and emails, and six versions of edited contracts. This is the side of real estate many don’t see—how much of ourselves we pour into every transaction.

And yet, despite the long hours and the hard days, I wouldn’t trade this career for anything. Helping people find their piece of Alberta is why I do what I do. I’m patient, I’m committed, and I know the next client is out there, waiting for me to walk alongside them.

Life can be heavy, but it’s also full of purpose. And for me, that purpose is helping people turn houses into homes.
