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. 🤣🏡

You should feel comfortable with your realtor… because you’re trusting them with one of the biggest decisions of your life. 🙂‍↔️🤝

And you usually know pretty quickly if that connection is there.

Home buying should feel exciting; not stressful. Supported, not second-guessed. Clear; not overwhelming.

Because when you feel comfortable with the person guiding you, it’s easier to slow down, breathe, and really know if a home is the right fit for you, without feeling pressured or rushed.

When there’s trust and connection, the whole process just feels lighter and more confident.

If you’re not feeling that yet, reach out anytime , let’s connect, have a chat, and see if it feels right.

📩 DM me, no pressure, just a conversation.

Okay but… what if the “dream workshop” wasn’t the bonus feature… what if it was the deciding factor? 🔨👀

1751 Juniper Drive is the kind of home that makes DIYers, hobbyists, tinkerers, and project people immediately start mentally reorganizing their tool collection before they’ve even left the showing. 😂

This immaculate 2,508 sq ft rancher in one of Merritt’s prime bench locations offers:

🛏️ 4 bedrooms
🛁 3 bathrooms
✨ Separate guest/family space
🔨 Basement workshop setup
🔥 Spacious family room
🌿 Easy-care xeriscape landscaping
🚐 RV parking
⛰️ Beautiful valley & mountain views

The home has seen thoughtful updates throughout the years including the kitchen, furnace, roof, flooring, and more, showing true pride of ownership inside and out.

And outside? A covered gazebo, tranquil water feature, landscaped yard, plumbed-in rain barrels, and two storage sheds complete the package.

Honestly… if you disappear into the workshop for a few days, I get it. 😂🔨
