Layne Gardner Real Estate REALTOR® with RE/MAX Northern Realty for over 17 years. Peace Country born and raised. Hometown knowledge. Honest advice. Real relationships.

I love calling Peace River home, and I work hard to help others feel the same. I was born and raised in the beautiful Peace River region, and like so many others who come here for a few years and end up staying for life, I’ve never wanted to leave. This is home, and I’m proud to serve the community I’ve grown up in. As a lifelong resident and experienced Peace River REALTOR®, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation for everything that makes the Peace Country such a special place to live, work, and raise a family. My local knowledge is matched only by my dedication to the people and progress of our region. I'm a proud graduate of Grimshaw Jr./Sr. High School and went on to study at the University of Alberta before completing my Bachelor of Management degree at the University of Lethbridge. After graduating, I returned to Peace River and joined my family's business, Peace River Chrysler (then Tri-Star Chrysler), where I held various upper management roles until the dealership changed ownership in 2007. That’s when I followed a new calling into real estate. I joined RE/MAX Northern Realty in 2008, and thanks to a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to my clients, I was fortunate to find success early on. In 2009, I briefly returned to the auto industry to manage the dealership again under its new ownership (GoAuto), but in 2013, I came back to real estate full-time and haven’t looked back since. Over the years, I’ve had the honour of helping individuals, families, and business owners navigate the buying and selling process with confidence. I specialize in residential and commercial real estate across Peace River and the surrounding region. I hold both the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) and Accredited Commercial Professional (ACP) designations, and have been recognized with numerous RE/MAX awards, including the 100% Club, Platinum Club, Chairman’s Club, and the Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Award. Beyond real estate, I’m passionate about building a strong, thriving community. I currently serve as President of the Peace River & District Chamber of Commerce, Chair of the Peace River Economic Development Committee, and I sit on the Northern Sunrise County Economic Development Committee. I was recently appointed to the Executive Committee for the Alberta Chamber of Commerce. I’m also a past President of the Rotary Club of Peace River and a dedicated sports parent who supports and volunteers with my kids’ activities whenever possible. My wife, Allison, shares my love for this area. She was also born and raised in the Peace Country and now owns and operates Fern’s Greenhouse and Mercantile. Together, we’re raising our two kids in the same tight-knit, welcoming community we grew up in. With deep family roots and strong local ties, we truly believe there’s no better place to call home. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing in Peace River real estate, I’m here to help with local expertise, trusted service, and a commitment to making the process clear and manageable—every step of the way.

After the amount of snow we had last winter, I think we've all been reminded just how much winter can throw at us here in the Peace Country.

I've lived here long enough to know that a little preparation in the fall can save a lot of headaches in January.

Here are a few simple reminders for homeowners before winter really settles in. Most only take a few minutes, but they're worth doing.

Hopefully Mother Nature goes a little easier on us this year!

Thanksgiving is a good reminder of just how much there is to be grateful for.

I'm thankful for my family, good friends, and the opportunity to live and work in a community filled with people who look out for one another.

I'm also incredibly grateful for the people who have put their trust in me over the years. It's a privilege to be part of your lives, and I don't take that for granted.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving, Peace Country. I hope you get to spend it with the people who matter most.

Sometimes the photos catch your attention. But when you’re actually considering a house, you want to know how it all fits together.

So here’s the floor plan.

This South End bungalow has 1,037 sq. ft. on the main floor, with two good-sized bedrooms, a renovated bathroom, a large living room, separate dining space and a mudroom at the back.

And there’s quite a bit you can’t see on this plan.

The house sits on two lots with a big yard, plus a 23 × 26 heated detached garage with high ceilings and plenty of room for vehicles, tools, toys or a workshop.

All on a quiet no-through street for $229,900.

Two very different properties. Both officially SOLD.

One offered 4.2 acres just minutes from Peace River, with a 30 × 45 shop and plenty of room to spread out.

The other offered North End living, with 4 bedrooms and the river, trails, schools and recreation close by.

Different homes. Different buyers. And two more sellers moving on to whatever comes next.

Congratulations to my sellers, and thank you for trusting me with your homes.

After enough years of showing houses, you start to notice the little things.

The house is clean. It’s tidy. Things have been looked after. It’s staged well. And yes, it smells good.
You can usually feel it pretty quickly when you walk through the door.

Buyers can too.

It gives them confidence in the home and how it’s been cared for.

If selling has been somewhere in the back of your mind, this is a good place to start. Take a walk through your own home and look at it like you’re seeing it for the first time.

You might be surprised by what you notice.

This is one of those homes where the square footage doesn’t tell you very much.
At 926 sq. ft., you might expect it to feel small. Then you walk through it.

There’s a really functional kitchen, a full basement, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Outside, two lots give you room for a garden, a deck, a firepit, a front patio and still plenty of yard.

The furnace and hot water tank have been updated, and the back deck is newer too.
There’s been a lot of care put into making this home work well, inside and out.

If you’ve been looking around the $300,000 mark, I think this one is worth seeing in person.

There are probably a few people around here who have driven past this building and wondered what they would do with it.
Now it’s for sale.

Inside is 2,442 sq. ft. of beautifully finished commercial space, including a kitchen. Outside, there’s highway exposure, plenty of parking, a fenced yard and additional storage.

Another food business would make a lot of sense here, but the space leaves plenty of room for a completely different idea too.
If you’ve had something in the back of your mind for a while, this could be worth a walk through.

Some people want the space of an acreage without actually wanting to live miles from town.

This one in Berwyn gives you 0.88 acres, a big yard and room for a garden, pets, another outbuilding or whatever you’ve been wishing you had space for.
The home was built in 2021, so you’re also getting something much newer than you’d normally expect at this price. Inside there are 2 bedrooms, an open main floor, a big kitchen island, wood stove and a loft-style primary bedroom upstairs.

And you’re still right in Berwyn.

For someone who wants more room around them without giving up being part of a community, this one is worth knowing about.

Want a little more space and a little less town?

This renovated home north of Grimshaw sits on 0.31 acres, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,152 sq. ft. inside.
It’s had substantial updates too, including new siding, a metal roof, a new kitchen, flooring, paint and fixtures.

For $185,000, it’s an interesting way to get some country living without taking on a huge property.
