Rest assured; I will never sell you on anything - ever! I firmly believe my job is guiding you, not selling you. Whether you are looking to buy or sell or do both, I will be there to share information, provide options and help you make the best choice for you.
Lindsay was quick to respond to all our questions and was great at explaining things in a clear precise manner. Lindsay had good knowledge of the market and was quick to find us a property that check marked all of our boxes. We would use him again and would recommend him to our friends.

Full Bio
From our first time meeting and viewing a property together, you’ll see that I find the good, the bad and the ugly of each property - and I will share my honest opinion with you. My honesty and transparency may catch you by surprise at first, but my clients soon see that I have their best interests at heart. Having owned many different property types myself and surviving the countless headaches that sometimes came with them, I have put in the financial leg work to back my comments up. My hard-won real estate lessons can save you precious time and money when making the biggest financial purchase of your life.
My personal real estate portfolio has included new homes, old homes (some dating back to 1912), farms, acreages and investment properties. Having grown up on a farm just outside of Edmonton, I understand the hard work required to run and maintain such a homestead. If you’re looking for your First Home, Move-Up Home, Income Property, Acreage or even a Farm, you’re in my wheelhouse!
The real reason for all of my success, both in real estate and in life, is my wife, Ilena. She is the real backbone of our Family. I often say I have 3 kids; Ava, Mila and Christian! My Wife, however, has 4 ;). She juggles a tremendous amount so that I can do what I do at such a high production level!
I also love spending my free time tinkering with my motorbikes and cars. I, personally, LOVE older Harley's, and my Dream Car is a 61-1/2 to 64 Lincoln Continental. Not that you asked, but you should know that all cars should be black on black, without exceptions. As Henry Ford so eloquently said, “You can have any colour you want … as long as it's BLACK”. I dream of owning a Patina 1940-1955 Truck someday, as I fantasize about transplanting a diesel engine into a classic truck!
Our family's dream vacation spot is Hawaii. That being said, though, when I’m home, I’m working - every day! Whether showing homes, preparing a home to list, answering questions, or doing market research, I like to keep busy. My wife would tell you I get squirrelly when I’m not in action. Helping people reach their real estate goals is simply in my DNA.
Give me a call, and let’s talk about your Real Estate goals!
How I Liv
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
My Grandmother, I miss her home cooking and her stories.
What's the best vacation you've ever taken?
We took our kids to Maui; it was great to spend that time with the family, and it truly is paradise. I would love to go back every year if I could.
If you could personally witness one event in history, what would it be?
Martin Luther King's" I have a dream" speech, President Kennedy "do not ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country" speech… The 60's in general as it was a shift in the way North America viewed life.
What's your favourite restaurant in Edmonton?
Il Pasticcio, my wife is Italian.
If you could be a character in a book or movie, which one would you be?
James Bond (Sean Connery version) who was ever cooler than that? Plus, he always reminded me of my father.
If you could trade places with any famous person, living or dead, who would it be, and what would you do differently?
President Kennedy – I'd take a scenic route that missed the Book Depository area. Things would have been a lot different.
