Shantelle McCrea: The Realty Consultants Group TRCG The Realty Consultants Group Not your typical realtor. Not your typical realtor bio. You loathe typical people real estate bios. Don't worry. I do too. Yes. JK!

They’re like cardboard – stiff, bland, and identical to every other bio out there. Instead of boasting ad nauseum about awards and accomplishments you’re not interested in. I'm taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want – real answers to questions you’re probably wondering right now


Will you return my calls and emails ? Without question

I realize this is one of the major frustrations the general public has with dealing with agents. I get dozens of calls and emails daily. I work hard to reply as quickly as possible. Here’s what I can tell you. I’m honest and candid. I take pride in being approachable and friendly. And if you need a quick real estate brain, or a strong dose of honesty, you’re in the right place. Loyalty to family, clients, and friends is one of my core values. Do you have experience doing exactly what I need ? Until you tell me what you need, there is no way of knowing. These are “strong suits” of mine:

• Working with expired
• Relocation
• First time home buyers

If your goal or situation isn’t represented on the list, don't worry. Contact me anyways. If I can't help, I can get you referred to an another agent who can. What kind of work are you really good at ? On a personal level, I’m pretty good at cooking( I make a mean lasagna!), and I’m not too shabby at gardening (I’ve been told I have a green thumb). On a professional level, here are the skill-sets that I’ve developed over the years.

• Listening
• Been patient
• Negotiating


What do clients think of you ? My clients are better suited to answer this for you. Here’s what some of them have said. "Shantelle was amazing throughout the entire process of the sale of our house. She went above and beyond to to finalize the offer by coming to our home on the morning of her wedding day for us to sign the accepted offer. I would and will recommend her to all my friends and family looking to sell or buy a home. She is thoughtful, intelligent and cares about every little detail of the entire process. Shantelle truly cares about her clients and it was proven by the lengths she went to in dealing with our house!"
Karen Denomy, Humboldt, SK (Seller)


"Being in sales and business, first impressions are important to me to establish a level of trust. I knew plenty of Realtors from a variety of brokers but Shantelle really made an amazing impression and she worked at my speed and she covered my critical points and made it an amazing experience right from the first interaction. She was prepared and knowledgeable and my husband and I were very happy with her service from day one. Shantelle really puts her clients needs first and she went above and beyond and I am so happy to refer her to my friends, family and colleagues because I know she is the best choice. I couldn't be happier with her service. Thank you from Scott and I!"
Shana Stevens, Saskatoon (Buyer)


"Shantelle is a very polite, knowledgeable and professional Realtor. She is patient and always there if you need her. She will advise you of the kind of home that's suitable for you based on your circumstances but won't pressure you to buy a house you'll live unhappily ever after. Shantelle, you are the best. One day I'll bring you a baby lioness from Africa as a pet! But seriously though, I'd recommend any of my friends to buy their homes through you." MHULA N. KITINDI, SASKATOON (Buyer)


"Shantelle is a very personable and friendly young lady that is willing to go above and beyond what any other sales person I have used in past. She is knowledgeable and has a good grasp on what the market is like when you need to know." Rudy and Joan Wiebe, Martensville, SK. (Seller)


"Shantelle went above and beyond to make my first home buying experience a great one. She patiently answered my questions, and was always professional." Sheila Quintaine Delisle Sk. (Buyer)

The Universally Designed Bathroom Is in Demand

Wet rooms and accessible design are growing in demand among bathroom remodelers, according to the 2025 Bathroom Trends Study, produced by the home remodeling site Houzz.

One in six renovated bathrooms now feature a wet room—an open-concept space where the shower or tub flows seamlessly into the rest of the room, without a bulky enclosure.

Homeowners are drawn to this layout for its versatility. It maximizes space, creates a sleek and modern look, and offers accessibility for all ages and mobility levels.

Bathroom design is increasingly being shaped by universal design principles. Forty-one percent of design and remodeling professionals report that homeowners are remodeling with aging household members in mind.

Some top accessibility features include:
-Low-curb or curbless showers
-Additional lighting
-Nonslip flooring
-Grab bars
-Built-in seating
Also, today’s spacious wet rooms are prioritizing easy movement less-fuss maintenance, such as through large format tiles—12 x 24-inch rectangles—that make it easier to keep clean.

The 10-Minute Test: Quick Staging Tweaks That Can Make a Massive Difference

1. Clear tables and countertops
Counter space is considered negative space. Architect-turned-abstract artist Amrish Malvankar explains that negative space influences emotion—and so you can harness these psychological effects to boost a listed house’s marketability. It’s why Clint Collin, the owner of Houston Furniture Rentals, is big on clearing and wiping down kitchen and bathroom counters. Collin says that most homeowners pay closer attention to those rooms—so focus your efforts there to make every second count. He recommends having disinfecting wipes handy to clean these areas quickly.

2. Let the light in
Neutral-colored curtains, drapes, blinds, shades and shutters lend character to otherwise bare and drab windows. However, they should take a backseat—and let the spotlight shine on the sun. Using abundant daylight can make the space appear larger, and it’s an inexpensive, easy way to stage a house limited in square footage.

3. Freshen up the air
Scents can affect people’s emotional state. They can evoke personal memories, so filling the indoor air with a pleasant smell can lift the mood of visitors.

4. Hide highly personal items
A properly staged house should be devoid of any trace of the current owner’s relatives, likes, interests and beliefs, allowing buyers to imagine themselves living there. Hiding the seller’s personal belongings out of sight is a must. Discreetly tucking away all highly personal items belonging to the current owner of the house, including family photos, refrigerator magnets and toiletries. Not seeing any reminders of the current homeowner maximizes the impact of the initial walk-through, as potential buyers can then more easily envision themselves living in the house.

5. Make the beds
The bed is the focal point of any bedroom. Its appearance sets the tone for the rest of the room. An organized bed makes the area look clean, inviting and well maintained. Make the bed, topping it off with accent pillows and having it feel inviting.

6. Handle clutter systematically
Relentless decluttering is one of those simple staging ideas that works like a charm. Ensuring the house is mess-free is essential. However, it can be challenging to keep everything spotless and organized for constant home vistors. Develop an efficient decluttering process you can apply to any room, and you’ll see that this chore magically becomes easier. It could even mean having a go-to basket or under-bed tote to stash items away on the fly.

Typical Conditions You’ll Encounter During a Home Sale

Common conditions you’ll come across in a real estate transaction

There’s a lot to consider beyond the price point of a home, and agreed upon conditions help ensure protection and a smoother sale. These are some of the more common conditions you’ll encounter during a home sale, though they won’t all be present in every offer.

Appraisal contingency
Buyers have the right to request an appraisal of the home to compare its true value to the asking price. If the home is appraised for less than what the seller listed in the contract, the buyer may not be approved for the mortgage asking price, re-negotiations may commence, or the buyer may walk away with their deposit.

Home inspections
While not a legal obligation, one of the most important and highly recommended conditions to include is a home inspection to ensure the property is structurally sound. Though sellers will occasionally foot the bill, home inspections are usually paid for by the buyer with an inspector of their choosing so they feel confident in the results.

Financing
A financing condition or clause lets a seller know the buyer’s offer to purchase the property is conditional on obtaining their financing. The condition affords the buyer time—usually five to seven business days—to confirm their ability to obtain mortgage approval. This protects the buyer in the event the home appraisal comes in low and they’re not approved for the amount offered.

Escape clause
Usually stipulated by the seller, this clause allows the seller to “escape” or terminate the agreement based on a condition. A common use of the escape clause is when a seller has accepted a conditional offer on their home whereby the buyer requires 10 days to secure their financing. If the seller is receiving better offers during this time, the escape clause allows them to provide the original conditional offer 48 hours to complete the sale and if they can’t, the sellers have the right to go with a new buyer.

Land survey review
A survey review differs from a home inspection by way of surveying the grounds the property is on and again, while not required, it’s strongly advised to pay for a qualified, chartered professional to survey the property.

Cleanliness
Who doesn’t want to move into a clean home? This condition specifies the requirement for the home to be professionally cleaned before you move in.

Fixtures and chattels
If you expect to have appliances when moving into the new home it’s important to write it in the contract so you’re not met with an unexpectedly bare home on moving day. Make sure everyone is aware of what’s staying and what’s going.

7 Warning Signs the Roof Is at Risk This Winter

1. Sagging or uneven roof surfaces
One of the most serious red flags is a roof that appears to sag or dip in certain areas. This indicates structural weakness that could lead to catastrophic failure under the load of snow. Snow can weigh 20 pounds per square foot when wet, and a weakened roof simply can’t handle that kind of pressure.”

What to do: Contact a structural engineer immediately. This isn’t a DIY fix and requires professional assessment before winter arrives.

2. Missing, cracked or curling shingles
Damaged shingles create entry points for moisture, which can freeze and expand, causing further damage during winter months.

What to do: Replace missing shingles and repair cracked ones before the first snowfall. Even small gaps can lead to major problems when ice forms.

3. Ice dams forming along gutters
If you noticed ice dams last winter, your roof likely has insulation or ventilation issues that will worsen this year. “Ice dams form when warm air escapes through your roof, melting snow that then refreezes at the edges. This creates a dam that forces water back up under your shingles.”

What to do: Improve attic insulation and ventilation. Clean gutters thoroughly and consider installing heat cables as a temporary solution.

4. Interior leaks, damp patches or water stains
Any signs of water intrusion inside your home indicate your roof's protective barrier is already compromised.

What to do: Trace the source of leaks immediately. Water can travel far from the actual roof damage, so you may need professional help to locate the problem

5. Blocked or damaged roof vents
Proper airflow prevents ice buildup and helps maintain consistent roof temperature. Blocked vents create hot spots that lead to uneven snow melting.

What to do: Clear debris from vents and replace damaged vent covers. Ensure soffit vents aren’t blocked by insulation from inside the attic.

6. Excessive icicles or gutter stress
While some icicles are normal, large formations indicate poor drainage and potential structural stress on your gutters and roof edge. When gutters start pulling away from the house or you see oversized icicles, that’s your roof telling you there’s a drainage problem.

What to do: Clean gutters completely and check that downspouts direct water away from your foundation. Repair any loose gutter brackets.

7. Visible granule loss on asphalt shingles
Excessive granules in gutters or bare spots on shingles mean your roof’s protective coating is wearing away, making it vulnerable to winter damage.

What to do: If granule loss is widespread, a roof replacement is likely needed. Isolated areas can be repaired with new shingles.
