For me, real estate has always started and stayed in Athabasca. From day one, this community has been home, and it’s where I’ve built my career. Along the way, I expanded briefly to Canmore to experience what we call sandwich board style real estate—the fast-paced, open house driven approach where you have only a moment to create a meaningful connection. That experience gave me valuable training in building trust quickly and showing clients the importance of what a REALTOR® brings to the table.
Back home, I realized how much more I could offer by being part of both the Edmonton and Athabasca boards. Joining an Edmonton brokerage allowed me to expand access to my listings province wide, while still commuting back and forth and keeping strong roots in Athabasca. With the support of my amazing team, we’ve been able to balance local care with wider reach.
Our team at RE/MAX Excellence Athabasca is built on unique strengths. Caleb is our stats and research expert, always digging deep to bring clients clarity while also running a family-focused food truck that brightens our community. Lani, who grew up in Africa, brings global experience, a background in dentistry and interior design, and a true gift for helping clients envision home potential. Together, we’ve built something special—a dynamic, principled team that reflects the heart of this community.
At the core of everything we do is the leadership of Don Patterson and Sam Narayan. RE/MAX Excellence offers unparalleled support: in-house training, market research, Ayre and Oxford, a property management team of 125 employees, and a Commercial Division ranked #1 worldwide. Beyond that, there’s a deep belief in giving back. Three years ago, we launched the EVER Excellence Foundation, which has already made a significant impact and continues to grow each year.
Winning these awards isn’t about recognition—it’s about responsibility. It’s an honour that reminds us daily why we do what we do. We’re committed to continuing to level up, give back, and look after our community and surrounding areas with the same dedication and care that has defined us from the beginning.
Because in Athabasca, real estate isn’t just about property—it’s about people, connection, and community.
