You're in Good Hands
Relocations are one of my main areas of expertise. I work with multiple realtors across Canada and I have helped many families relocating to and from Calgary. My partner Rhonda Navratil with Remax in Edmonton and I, have been successfully marketing ourselves as The Alberta Connection for approximately 20 years. In that time, relocations have grown to become a significant part of my business.
I will always take the time to assess your needs and understand what is most important to you and your family’s lifestyle. I can then help you make an informed decision on which community will make you and your family the happiest.
I have a thorough knowledge of the communities in and around Calgary and I can ensure that your investment is a perfect fit for you now, and will provide the best possible return for your future.
