Where It All Began

My introduction to real estate started in a unique way — working for my uncle’s custom home building company. I began in interior design and decorating, helping bring beautiful spaces to life. My work often took me to the show home, where my grandfather also worked. I would watch him welcome visitors, share the vision for each property, and ultimately help families find their perfect home. Seeing the joy of those moments ignited my own passion and desire to sell homes.

Why Decorating and Staging Matter

Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how decorating and staging can transform a property. Well-designed spaces don’t just look beautiful — they create an emotional connection for buyers. Thoughtful staging can highlight a home’s best features, make rooms feel larger, and help buyers imagine themselves living there. In today’s competitive market, staging isn’t just a nice extra — it’s a critical part of the selling strategy.

Interior Design Trends in 2025

In 2025, interior design is all about warmth, personality, and sustainable choices. Some top trends include:

• Earthy Neutrals – Warm whites, rich beiges, and soft terracottas create inviting spaces.

• Natural Materials – Wood, stone, and woven textures add depth and authenticity.

• Statement Lighting – Sculptural and oversized fixtures become focal points.

• Multi-Functional Spaces – Flexible rooms that adapt to work, play, and relaxation.

• Sustainable Design – Eco-friendly finishes and repurposed pieces are in high demand.

Bringing It All Together

My foundation in design has shaped the way I approach real estate today. Whether I’m helping a buyer see the potential in a property or working with a seller to prepare their home for market, I understand how to create spaces that connect. Real estate isn’t just about transactions — it’s about storytelling, vision, and helping people see “home.”

The Reality in Regina

If you’ve been looking at homes in Regina lately, you’ve probably noticed two things: there aren’t many houses for sale, and the ones that do hit the market don’t last long. In many cases, they’re selling for over asking price — sometimes significantly over.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned pro, navigating a seller’s market can feel like you’re running a sprint instead of a marathon. The key to success is understanding the market, having a strategy, and acting quickly.

Regina’s Market Snapshot – June 2025

• Inventory: 818 active listings (611 truly available) – only 2 months of supply (balanced market = 4–6 months)

• Sales: 402 (↑ 6% year-over-year, 17% above the 10-year average)

• Benchmark Price: $343,200 (↑ 8% year-over-year)

• Over-Ask Activity: Homes selling for $40K–$100K over list price in some cases

What This Means for Buyers

Homes are often priced to create bidding wars. “Asking price” is a starting point — not the finish line.

Buyers should expect:

• Multiple offers on most desirable properties

• Fast-moving timelines (sometimes hours, not days)

• Pressure to waive conditions or stretch budgets

How to Know What to Offer Over Asking

1. Review Comparable Sales (Comps) – Your REALTOR® can show you recent sales in the area.

2. Assess Demand – More offers = higher over-ask potential.

3. Set Your Limit Early – Decide your max before negotiations.

4. Sweeten the Terms – Flexible possession or fewer conditions can win deals.

Winning Strategies

• Get Pre-Approved – Show sellers you’re ready to close.

• Move Quickly – View and offer without delay.

• Work with an Experienced REALTOR® – Leverage market knowledge.

• Stay Patient – Expect to lose a few before winning.

Final Thoughts

Buying in a seller’s market is challenging, but with preparation and the right guidance, it’s absolutely possible. Whether it’s your first home or your fifth, knowing how to position yourself can mean the difference between success and frustration.

Why I Picked Realty Executives Diversified—And Why I’m Here to Stay

After 14+ years in the real estate industry, I’ve come to learn that the brokerage you align yourself with can make all the difference—not only in how you serve your clients, but in how you grow, thrive, and feel supported as a REALTOR®.

When I made the move to Realty Executives Diversified, I wasn’t just changing brokerages—I was choosing a place that felt like home. Here's why that decision was so important to me, and why I know I'm here to stay.

1. A Culture That Aligns with My Values

At Realty Executives Diversified, the culture is built on collaboration, support, and mutual respect. It’s not competitive in a cutthroat way—it’s competitive in a way that makes you better. We celebrate each other’s wins, share knowledge freely, and are genuinely invested in one another’s success.

As someone who believes in leading with integrity and serving clients with heart, it was essential for me to be part of a team that shares those same values.

2. Hands-On Leadership That Makes a Difference

One of the biggest reasons I feel confident and supported at Realty Executives Diversified is because of our broker, Chad Tameling. Chad is the kind of leader every agent hopes to have—approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success.

He’s incredibly responsive when you have questions or concerns, no matter how big or small, and he's not the type to sit behind the scenes. He’s hands-on, involved, and always willing to go the extra mile to help his agents succeed—whether you’re brand new or have been in the industry for decades.

That level of commitment from leadership isn’t easy to come by, and it’s one of the biggest reasons I feel so grounded here.

3. Surrounded by Experience & Opportunity

One of the most inspiring parts of being at Realty Executives Diversified is the incredible group of veteran agents who have built careers worth admiring. Their experience, knowledge, and dedication to the industry are invaluable—and having the chance to learn from and collaborate with them is something I don’t take for granted.

At the same time, there’s an energy that comes from welcoming new agents to the brokerage. There’s a spirit of mentorship, support, and mutual respect—whether you’re just starting out or have years under your belt. We’re all here to help each other grow, and that creates a truly unique environment.

4. Room to Grow—Without Pressure to Conform

I’ve built my business on personal branding, modern marketing, and building authentic relationships—and at Realty Executives Diversified, that’s encouraged and supported.

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” mold here. Whether you’re a seasoned agent, a new agent, or somewhere in between, you’re given the tools and trust to build your business your way. You’re empowered to do what works best for you.

5. Rooted in Regina, but Forward-Thinking

As someone who’s lived in Regina my whole life, I care deeply about this community. Realty Executives Diversified has a strong local presence, deep roots, and a reputation for excellence—but they’re also not stuck in the past. The tools, technology, and forward-thinking approach they offer keeps me sharp and relevant in an ever-changing market.

6. Because It Feels Like Home

At the end of the day, I chose Realty Executives Diversified because it felt like the right place for me. The people, the leadership, the values, the environment—it just fits. And when something fits, you know it.

This isn’t just a place I work. It’s a place I’m proud to represent.

If you have lived in Saskatchewan as long as I have (my whole life) you know about our Saskatchewan winters. Although mild at times they can be extremely harsh. While other parts of the world complain about -10, we see temperatures that can dip all the way to -40 (with the windchill) sometimes even colder.

Prepping your home for the winter conditions, especially in Saskatchewan is very important especially when you want to keep your home energy efficient and protected from the harsh conditions which include heavy snow and high winds. 

1) Prepare your exterior - make sure that you are prepped and ready for that first snow fall. It’s normal for us to be in denial about when its happening (yesterday was +20 on an October day) We can never get around it. I am sure by now everyone has moved or removed their potted plants from outside. Trim any trees that may break under the weight of the snow or ice damage your home. Clean gutters, check your roof for damages including any cracks or potential leaks. Make sure you blow out your sprinkers or have a company do that for you. If you have a wood burning fireplace make sure you inspect that for drafts. Also make sure you have shut off and drained any exterior taps. 

2) Attic/Basement - It is always good to check if you have adequate insulation in your attic and to add any more if needed. Check your basement and/or crawl space that may be letting in any cold air. 

3) Furnace and Vents - Make sure your furnace has been serviced by a professional and running efficiently. High efficient furnaces are a great investment especially in Saskatchewan. Replace filters and make sure vents are clear. Using a humidifier is also a great tip especially since the winters can be so dry.

4) Test all your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors - Replace old batteries. I am sure we have all encountered the beeping that seems to only start in the middle of the night when you are sleeping. 

5) Windows and doors - Check for any drafts around your windows and doors. Sometimes you need to add extra caulking to seal any gaps. Also door sweeps are a great addition to exterior doors that might be letting in some extra cold air.

6) Seal your driveway - Sealing will create a barrier that prevents water, snow and ice from penetrating the surface which can cause unnecessary cracks and damage to the driveway.

7)) Prepare for snow removal - Stock up on all your supplies and make sure they are readily available. Even throw that snow brush in trunk for that dreaded first snow fall. Make sure you have some sort of ice melt to protect yourself, your children and any visitors. 

Here is just a few tips to get your home ready for our cold Saskatchewan winters.

If you have any questions or concerns about the real estate market. I would love to chat.
