It's getting started.

📰 BREAKING NEWS 📰

I have a buyer looking for a home in Sherwood Park.

The interesting part?

The wish list really isn't all that unreasonable:

✔ Bungalow or split-level
✔ Double garage
✔ Full ensuite
✔ Functional kitchen with good storage and an island
✔ Fairly open layout
✔ Well-maintained condition
✔ Updated, but not a questionable flip
✔ Not on a busy road

Bonus points for:

⭐ Air conditioning
⭐ Gas range
⭐ Pot drawers
⭐ Central vac
⭐ Bay windows

And yet, the right home just hasn't surfaced.

If you've been thinking about selling, or know someone who has, I'd love to have a conversation. Your home might be exactly what they're looking for.

No pressure. No obligation. Just seeing if we can make the right connection.

📍 Sherwood Park

Know someone who's been talking about selling? Feel free to share this with them.

Not every first home has to be a tiny apartment with a long hallway and a shared elevator.

This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath condo across from NAIT offers something a little different:

✔ Private entrance
✔ Multi-level layout
✔ Air conditioning
✔ In-suite laundry
✔ Private balcony
✔ Directly across from NAIT
✔ Quick access to downtown and transit

At $240,000, it could be a smart option for first-time buyers looking to stop renting and start building equity.

Because sometimes the goal isn't finding your forever home.

It's finding your first one.

So happy to be a part of this crew! 🥰
A bunch of neighbours volunteering their time because they believe a community can be more than just a collection of houses.

Dispute the rain, we had a fantastic turnout at the King Edward Park Community League AGM and Drift Food Truck Night this weekend.

It was great to see so many neighbours come together, share ideas, make connections, and help shape what's next for our community.

I'm excited to be stepping into a new role on the board that will allow me to focus on seniors programming, community connections, and seeing where some new ideas can take us.

No grand announcements just yet. There's lots of work ahead, and I'm looking forward to getting started. 😊

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, shared ideas, bought memberships, and helped make the day a success.

Here's to another great year in King Edward Park. 💚

A community league is only as strong as the people who show up.

HAPPENING TODAY!!!
King Edward Park Community League is holding its AGM and Food Truck Night. Come hear what’s planned for the year ahead, meet some neighbours, enjoy some great food, and find out how you can help shape what comes next.

Not every volunteer role requires a huge time commitment. Sometimes it's just sharing ideas, lending a hand at an event, or helping make the neighbourhood a little better than you found it.

📍 KEP Community League Large Hall
📅 Sunday, May 31
⏰ 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Bonus: The first 100 members to RSVP receive a free meal ticket from Drift Food Truck.

Hope to see some familiar faces there. 😊

☀️ It's hot.

Your dog knows it.
Your air conditioner knows it.
Your power bill definitely knows it.

If your pup is looking at you like you've personally scheduled this heat wave, frozen treats are an easy way to help them cool down.

The best part? You don't need a complicated recipe.

Mix and match dog-safe ingredients like:
🐾 plain yogurt
🐾 pumpkin puree
🐾 banana
🐾 blueberries
🐾 carrots
🐾 peanut butter (xylitol-free)
🐾 coconut
🐾 mint

Pour into an ice cube tray, freeze, and suddenly you're the greatest human who has ever lived.

I've included a bunch of ingredient combinations you can mix and match depending on what you already have in the fridge.

Save this post so you don't have to go hunting for dog treat recipes the next time Edmonton turns into the surface of the sun.

Share it with a dog owner whose four-legged supervisor is currently stretched out on the coolest patch of floor they can find.

And if Pepper approves, I'll consider that a five-star review. 🐶❄️.

Most buyers budget for the down payment.

Then the “wait… I have to pay for THAT too?” expenses start showing up.

Home inspections.
Lawyer fees.
Appraisals.
Condo doc reviews.
Registration fees.
Moving costs.
Random Home Depot trips that somehow become $347.

Buying a home comes with a lot of extra costs people don’t always hear about until they’re already in the process.

Especially for first-time home buyers in Edmonton, understanding these costs early can help avoid a lot of stress later.

You don’t need to know everything right now. You just need someone willing to explain it clearly.

DM me anytime if you have questions.

Meet Pepper. He lives right here in Edmonton.
So do I. 🐾

Giving Chappelle a little shoutout today because honestly, it’s one of my favourite southwest Edmonton communities. It’s easy to see the appeal with so many great walking trails, parks everywhere, and just a really good neighbourhood feel.

Pepper approves, and that’s basically our official rating system now. .

Sending your kid off to school is exciting… but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming.

Between tuition, moving, housing, budgeting, and trying to help them take that next step into adulthood, there’s a lot for parents to carry during this season.

If you’re exploring housing options near NAIT, this 2 bed, 1.5 bath condo gives students a safe, low-maintenance place close to campus while giving parents something renting never will: equity.

✔ Directly across the street fromNAIT
✔ 2 bedrooms + 1.5 bathrooms
✔ In-suite laundry
✔ Private entrance
✔ AC
✔ $240,000

Instead of spending tens of thousands on rent over the next few years, ownership could help your student start building equity while giving you a little more stability and peace of mind.

No pressure, and no need to have it all figured out right away.

If you have questions about student housing near NAIT or just aren’t sure where to start, DM me anytime. I’m happy to help walk through the options with you.
