Experience You Can Rely On

I've spent my career helping clients navigate what is often the most significant financial decision of their lives. With over 1,000 transactions completed and decades of market experience, I approach every opportunity with preparation, discipline, and a deep understanding of economic trends.

Tamara Konopelky

Fresh Perspective. Real Strategy.

Before entering real estate, I spent over 12 years building and operating an award-winning landscape construction and design company. That experience taught me how thoughtful presentation, careful planning, and small details can significantly influence value.

Answers

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out. We're always happy to help.

  • Start with a quick conversation. We'll learn what you're looking for, set up a personalized search, and connect you with a mortgage professional if you need one. From there we book showings and move when the right home appears. Book a free consultation whenever you're ready.

  • Every home is different, so the honest answer is: it depends on your home, your neighbourhood, and the current market. We prepare a data-backed evaluation based on recent comparable sales in your area. Request one through the “What's Your Home Worth?” tool, or reach out and we'll put one together for you.

  • We serve Edmonton and the surrounding communities. If you're not sure whether your area is covered, just ask. We're happy to help or point you in the right direction.

  • Absolutely. First-time buyers are some of our favourite clients. We'll walk you through every step, from financing and searching to offers, inspections and closing, with straight talk and no pressure.

  • Yes. Coordinating a purchase and a sale takes careful timing, and it's something we do regularly. We'll build a plan that lines up your sale with your next home so the transition is as smooth as possible.

  • Real estate costs vary depending on the transaction and the services involved, and we're always upfront about them. Book a consultation and we'll explain exactly how it works for your situation, no surprises.
