        <title>Why do we call it DOWNsizing?</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
 





Kevin and I are now empty nesters...our family home is filled with memories and leftover clutter but now hosts the heavy footsteps of our beloved children only on breaks and holidays.


Many of our friends and clients are also at this same stage of life (don't even ask me about the friends with littles...oh my, they must be TIRED...). 


The discussions in our peer groups are often about what will come next. A lifetime devoted to raising your children is all encompassing and when they leave so much of our energy and care is left with no outlet to focus on. And so, for many, the focus turns to planning and dreaming. Travel and cars and homes and new careers, hobbies and restaurants and sleep The possibilities are endless and since the home is the root of all the rest, thoughts often turn to what is commonly referred to as downsizing.


This word, DOWNSIZE. It just does not fit for this stage of life. I propose EVOLVING, SHEDDING, RENEWING.


I so often hear a request to help downsize when what is actually sought is a refresh in circumstance, a simplicity of new routine, a repurposing of space once devoted to parenting.


As always Kevin and I seek to serve our indivudal clients needs, whatever they may be, and oh how I am loving being a part of this process with our clients. Its an honour and a privilege to consult and advise our clients on their path to whats next

        <title>BIG NEWS from Kevin and Kristin</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
 


Written by Kristin on behalf of both of us (which you will know by the mushy tone...)


2020 has been a pretty wild year...so much changed. 


In our family we were gifted with something irreplaceable and precious...TIME. We had more time with our children, we had more time to dream and learn and plan, and we had more time to enjoy our two favourite places...Calgary and the Invermere area. Months of weird shutdowns and online learning for the whole family, followed by a summer of hope, a fall of new experiences and BOOM, here we are in December.


As this wild year draws to a close and we all collectively enter the strangest version of our beloved holiday season, we are excited to welcome our boys back home for Christmas AND we are busy getting ready to launch a whole new phase professionally.


We are so proud and so excited to announce that after 22 successful and happy years of being a real estate family, with Kevin in the forefront and me in a supporting role, we are now BOTH licensed to assist you in Calgary and area AND Kevin is now ready to also help you with any and all of your real estate needs in BC's Columbia Valley...hopefully I will soon follow suit there too


As two born and raised Calgarians, the Columbia Valley has always been the go-to place for weekends and breaks. Our connection to the area was also rooted in the fact that Kevin's father grew up in Windermere. Once we had children all we wanted was a place to call ours so that they would get to feel the enduring family connection and be a part of growing our own roots there. We were lucky enough to have our own piece of the Valley as of 15 years ago and have split our time, energy, and money in both provinces ever since


Kevin and I are so excited to be walking in to this new phase working together to serve you and your family in whatever city holds your heart. For us, splitting our time evenly in the two places we call home and having the privilege of working in both is a natural progression of the work that is literally a part of every moment of our lives No matter where you need us, you will get our full attention and the best of all we have to offer


For more information about Real Estate. Right. Now.™ click here (BC website will be arriving in 2021 we promise but for now enjoy our Calgary based site) and to reach us by email today click here


We look forward to helping you in 2021 and beyond
