The Overlooked Benefits of Having a WillMost people think a will is only about money and property. In reality, it covers much more.

Did you know your will can:

  • Provide for pets 

  • Leave instructions for digital assets 

  • Speed up estate distribution 

  • Give you peace of mind 

As a Realtor, I know how important it is for homeowners to think long-term. Your will protects not just your property, but your loved ones’ future too.

If you already have a will, make sure it’s up to date with your latest life changes — whether that’s a new home, a new relationship, or a new addition to the family.

Edmonton Real Estate Market Sees Major Shift: 5,000 Listings & What It Means for You

The Edmonton and Sherwood Park real estate markets just experienced a significant shake-up. In May 2025, nearly 5,000 homes hit the market—a 28% jump from April and a 16% increase year-over-year. This spike in inventory has reshaped the dynamics between buyers and sellers.
