Why Downsizing Shouldn’t Mean Sacrificing Style—or Space

If you’ve been dreaming about simplifying your life, reducing home maintenance, and finally saying goodbye to stairs, but the idea of losing comfort or elegance makes you hesitate—this may be the home that changes your mind.

Welcome to Unit 111, 1144 Adamson Drive SW, a rare and beautifully appointed corner unit at Elan Condominiums in Edmonton’s beloved Allard community. With over 1,060 square feet of thoughtful design, luxury upgrades, and sunlit space, this property offers the perfect blend of freedom, functionality, and finesse.

Spacious Corner Layout — Light, Bright & Beautiful

This isn’t your typical cookie-cutter condo. Positioned on the sunny southwest corner, this unit bathes in natural light from two sides, creating a warm, welcoming feel that immediately sets it apart.

With 2 bedrooms + a flexible den, 2 full bathrooms, and a gorgeous open-concept living and dining area, you’ll find all the room you need to relax, entertain, and thrive—whether you’re hosting dinner, working from home, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the private, oversized patio.

Every Detail Counts — Inside and Out

Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this home features:

• Quartz countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms

• A chef’s kitchen with an 8-foot island, modern cabinetry & Bosch dishwasher

• Engineered hardwood floors, 9’ ceilings, and custom Hunter Douglas blinds

• Plush bedroom carpets for added comfort

• Delta faucets and designer lighting for a cohesive, elevated aesthetic

• A/C for year-round comfort

And the best part? It’s on the main floor—so you can skip the elevator and enjoy the convenience of ground-level living.

Parking That Feels Like VIP Access

What’s better than having two titled parking stalls? Having them in the best possible locations:

• One heated underground stall with a secure storage cage

• One powered surface stall steps from the main entrance

Whether you’re unloading groceries or heading out for a weekend getaway, this feature alone makes everyday life easier and more efficient.

2029 49 Street in Pollard Meadows

$299,900 → $360,000. Here’s what actually happened.

There’s a lot of talk in real estate about strategy, timing, and “knowing the market.” But what does that really mean?

Let me show you.

We listed 2029 49 Street the morning of May 25th.

By 5PM, the momentum was undeniable:

• 25 showings

• 17 offers

• 14 of them unconditional

By 7PM, my sellers had accepted a firm, unconditional offer for $360,000—$60,000 over asking.

No hesitation. No missed steps.
Just clarity, strategy, and a deep understanding of what this market demands.

Sellers: This Is What a Real Launch Looks Like

When I list a home, it’s not about posting and hoping.
It’s about precision—from pricing and presentation to timing and traction.

It’s about creating urgency, not noise.
Pressure, not confusion.
Leverage, not luck.

And when the flood of offers came in, I didn’t just pick the highest one and walk away. I organized every offer by price, deposit, possession, and conditions—then walked my sellers through each scenario so they could make a fully informed decision.

But I didn’t stop there.

I went back to the top contenders and said:
Can you do better?
Can you shorten the timeline?
Can you increase the deposit?
Can you remove any uncertainty?

And guess what? They did.

Because that’s the power of skilled negotiation.
And that’s what your agent should be doing for you.

Buyers: In This Market, You Need a Closer

14 buyers waived conditions to even have a shot.
That’s the kind of pressure you’re walking into.

If you’re buying, you don’t need someone to open doors.
You need someone who understands what’s happening on the other side of the table.

You need an agent who will:

• Craft offers that stand out

• Move fast, but never recklessly

• Guide you with calm, direct advice

• Protect your interests—even in chaos

Because when the competition is this fierce, experience isn’t optional.
It’s your only edge.

Here’s What This Really Means

I’m not here to overpromise or push people into uncomfortable decisions.
I’m here to build real outcomes—with intention, transparency, and respect.

If you’re thinking about selling, I’ll show you exactly how to create the kind of pressure that delivers.

If you’re trying to buy, I’ll help you navigate the intensity without losing yourself in it.

Let’s have a real conversation about your next move.

Because in a market like this, strategy is everything—and pressure is where I thrive.

Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue, Bon Accord

What if we told you that for under $300,000, you could own a renovated mid-century home on a fully treed, oversized lot, just 12 minutes from CFB Edmonton? And that instead of city noise and postage-stamp yards, you’d get a private orchard, a spacious home with architectural charm, and a lifestyle rooted in peace and space?

Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue in Bon Accord.

Why Bon Accord?

Let’s start with the town. Bon Accord might not have been on your radar—but that’s exactly why it’s such a gem. This quiet, connected community offers more land, less stress, and a sense of calm you just can’t replicate in the city. With quicker-than-you’d-expect access to Edmonton and just a short drive to CFB Edmonton, Bon Accord gives you the space to breathe without giving up convenience.

Whether you're military, remote-working, or simply looking to stretch out and start a new chapter, this location works.

A Mid-Century Home That Still Hits

Originally built in 1964, this 3-level split has been thoughtfully and professionally renovated—preserving the best of its character (vaulted ceilings! sun-filled windows! mid-century bones!) while modernizing all the parts that matter most.

Let’s take a walk through.

Main Floor: Light, Layout & Flow

Step through the front door and you’re immediately greeted with vaulted ceilings and massive south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-concept main floor features newer laminate flooring throughout, bringing warmth and a clean finish underfoot.

The kitchen is compact but efficient—stainless steel appliances, smart storage, and a layout that makes dinner prep feel like a breeze. Just off the kitchen is a cozy dining nook that keeps you connected to the main living space, perfect for easy entertaining or slow weekend breakfasts.

Upper Level: Bright Bedrooms & Main Bath

The upper level houses two junior bedrooms, each bright and welcoming, with good closet space and easy access to the full 4-piece main bathroom. Whether you’re growing a family, hosting guests, or creating a work-from-home sanctuary, these rooms are flexible and inviting.

Lower Level: The Dreamy Primary Retreat

This is where things get elevated.

The fully finished lower level is home to a stunning, completely renovated primary suite—designed to feel more like a boutique hotel than a basement. You’ll find:

• A spa-inspired ensuite with double sinks, a luxury glass shower, and his and hers walk-in closets

• A layout that offers total privacy, quiet, and calm

• Enough space for a king bed, dresser, and cozy reading corner

If you’ve been craving a grown-up space that’s yours and yours alone, this is it.

Not Just a Backyard — Your Personal Orchard

Let’s talk about the yard, because it’s honestly a showstopper.

The lot is fully fenced, fully landscaped, and fully alive. Mature fruit trees, tall hedges, space for gardens, space for kids, space for dogs, hammocks, bonfires, raised beds—you name it. It backs onto trees, giving you privacy and that deep-breath, birds-chirping feeling the moment you step outside.

Whether you’re a gardener, a dreamer, or just someone who wants more space to live, this yard delivers.

Extras That Make a Difference

This home isn’t just beautiful—it’s smart:

• Nearly 1,400 sq ft of total finished living space

• A rare double tandem garage—perfect for tools, toys, workshop dreams, or simply extra storage

• A sunroom that doubles as a plant haven, reading room, or chill-out zone

• A large laundry/mudroom that makes sense (finally!)

The Vibe

This is a home for people who want more.
More nature. More calm. More connection to what matters.
Less noise. Less rush. Less pressure to settle.

Whether you’re planting roots, starting over, or simplifying into something better, this property gives you the bones, the beauty, and the space to build a lifestyle—not just live in a house.
