About Kaitlin
I’m originally from Saskatchewan but I have grown up in Calgary for most of my life. I love doing renovation work which is part of where my love of real estate started. I love showing the potential that can be brought out in homes that a lot of people may not have seen without that little bit, or in some cases, a lot of TLC. I grew up around it and learning about how to how to do different renovation projects from my Dad who has been in construction all my life. I love interior design and am in the process of completing my interior design diploma online as I think it can add quite a bit of value to my clients in real estate as well as providing me with a creative outlet that I am passionate about. My goal is to help guide others in real estate with whatever is going to best benefit them and bring them to the next chapter of their lives, as smoothly as possible. When I am not working, I love road trips and camping in my little trailer out in the mountains, hiking and spending time with friends and family. A lot of travelling is definitely a huge goal of mine, the list of places to visit is quite long but I’m slowly chipping away at it.
Question & Answer
My parents were frequently doing buys, flips, and holds when I was kid and I helped them with renovations from a young age. I invested in purchasing my first rental with them when I was 20; we renovated it together and are currently renting it out. Being around property investments so much eventually lead me to getting my real estate license to work with home buyers and other investors as well.
My boyfriend and I like to take our little trailer and do road trips across Canada; West Coast to East Coast. I’d also love to visit New Zealand, Iceland, and more of Europe. The list is very long; work hard and travel far is the goal.
I am terrified of mice even though I grew up visiting family on Saskatchewan farms. I still can’t see a mouse without freaking out. I also HATE horror movies.
I like the different goals people have with real estate and the variety of what each client is looking for. For example, some clients are looking to find their dream home, and some are looking for an investment with the best ROI opportunity, have no emotional attachments, and it’s all about the numbers. Other clients are looking to start the next chapter of their life(s), i.e., stop renting and purchase their first home, their family is getting bigger and they’ve outgrown their current home, or they need to down size. I like learning about people and their whys behind such a big decision and how I can help with that.
My favourite movie is Almost Famous. Other than that, I really like comedies because it’s a way to zone out of the stresses of life and have a good laugh, as well as dramas if I am in the right mood. Book-wise, I like biographies and self improvement books (ex: The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck).
