Penny Turko Realtor Penny Turko eXp Realty. Real Estate Services Merritt, BC. Local Realtor® w/ 16+ yrs experience helping you buy, sell & love where you live. Hey there!

Real estate tips, local gems & scenic Harley adventures in scenic Nicola Valley. Let’s find your perfect place! 🏡✨ I’m Penny Turko... real estate matchmaker, design lover, and proud Merrittonian. I absolutely love to sell Real Estate in Merritt, BC! I help people just like YOU buy and sell homes here in the beautiful Nicola Valley, with less stress, more clarity, and maybe even a few laughs along

the way. I’m your "give it to you straight" guide; honest, ethical, and all about creative solutions that make your real estate journey easier. I believe real estate isn’t just about the numbers, square footage and lot size… it’s about how a home makes you feel. The right space should spark joy, induce peace, and inspire the next chapter of your life. Whether you're selling a place you’ve loved or hunting for the one that makes your heart skip, I’m here for it. And if you’re staying put but craving a refresh? I’ve got design tips for that too. A bit about me:

I kicked off my Merritt BC real estate career way back in 1989, stepped away in 2005 to raise our our kids, and I came back in 2025 eager to bring fresh energy, seasoned experience, and creative ideas to today’s real estate market. Since 1989, my hubby and I have lived here in Merritt, where life feels a little sweeter now that we’ve become grandparents. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me hiking local trails, riding our Harley through the Valley, binge-watching design shows, or hanging out with my favorite humans. Let’s connect! DM me on Instagram , shoot me an email, or give me a call at (250) 378-7913. I’d love to hear your story. I can’t wait to get to know you better! Talk soon,
Penny

🚨 Apparently, getting this excited when a listing sells is “unhealthy.” 😂

I respectfully disagree.

There’s nothing better than helping a client reach their goal and seeing all the hard work pay off.

Now excuse me while I continue celebrating. 🤣🏡
