Kaelyn Kowalchuk - Liv Real Estate - Edmonton

Growing up, our family moved a lot. My parents got married in the Yukon Territories and before long, we moved to BC. Over the course of my life, I have lived in Okotoks, Cayley, High River, Nanton, Calgary, Airdrie, and Edmonton. My life was always full of new adventures and I learned how to adapt to new situations pretty quickly.

When I was young, I saved up all my money from chores and rescued a dog. We rescued many dogs and cats throughout our childhood years, and my current babies Alice and Maggie were rescued from the farm and the streets of my community. When I moved to Brintnell (where I now live) in Northeast Edmonton, I decided to become involved in our community league. After serving as a neighbourhood rep I became the community league president.

With the help of our amazing board members, we are taking the north by storm! Over 600 people attend some of our local events. I love our community. I also enjoy playing and coaching soccer. Seeing smiles on children’s faces makes the countless hours spent behind the scenes organizing events, running the league, and creating sports drills for my teams worth it. I’m filled with gratitude when I hear a child say: “Mom! The Easter Bunny did not forget about me!” Or “Coach K, did you see that? I almost got a goal?!” I know that everything we do in our community makes a difference. You never know what someone is going through, so always choose to be kind.

My favourite part about working in Real Estate is the opportunity to learn something new every day. I get to meet so many amazing people and learn about their passions, hobbies, lives, and cultures. I get to experience different lifestyles and try new foods! I get to learn something new about houses, neighbourhoods, city plans, and more. Every day is a story. Every day is a memory. I view life as a blessing. Every day I wake up knowing that it is a new day to help someone.
