Marianne’s passion for real estate was first sparked as a teenager when her parent’s entrusted her with the renovation of their bungalow, where she experienced the fulfillment of the creative process, and saw her vision come to life with the conclusion of the project.
After completion of her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Calgary, she would go on to gain skills in various industries with roles that would specialize in customer relations, business development, and human resources. These experiences deepened her love of connection with and providing solutions for her clients. In 2016, she had the opportunity to work with a reputable inner-city developer, where she gained valuable insight into the full-cycle of a new build.
With the combination of her industry experience, love of homes, and being of service to others, becoming a realtor was the next step in her career. Having previously won President’s Club at an international recruitment firm, and Customer Service Award for new homes, her commitment, work ethic, and perseverance shines in providing white-glove service to her clients. With her holistic approach, genuine care, and innate ability to hone in on clients’ wants, Marianne is a formidable asset to have on your team. She is honoured to be entrusted with the process of what may be the largest purchase in a client’s life, and it is a responsibility that she takes seriously, truly understanding the phrase “home is where the heart is”.
Marianne can be found singing ‘Shake It Off’ in the car with her precocious toddler, experimenting with a new ice cream recipe, planning the next travel adventure, and as an aspiring urban homesteader, trying to convince her loving husband to raise chickens.
