Real estate was not always my dream – originally, the plan was to go to law school. But, my parents owned a real estate brokerage, and my dad asked if I would help him out for a bit when I finished high school – I wasn't interested. Then he said: "you probably couldn't pass the exam anyway." That was in 1988.

Sheldon certainly was willing to spend time on estimating the value of the property. He has deep knowledge on the market, the worth of properties, the types of buyers to market the property to. He also works consistently and thoroughly the reach the right buyer and was great on closing the sale.... Read More

Full Bio

By 1991 I had obtained my broker qualifications (this allows you to run, own or manage a brokerage with associates under you). At the time, our company was one of the largest, most successful independent brokerages in the Edmonton market. Since then, we joined a franchise, left that franchise and in 2012 re-branded as Liv Real Estate. It seems like yesterday, but I have been around the real estate industry for a very long time and learned a lot along the way. I love helping people. I love solving problems and doing everything I can to ensure that people receive what they want and expect from us. I love that almost every situation is unique, although there are similarities, and I love that each day in this business is incredibly different from the day before. I am also fortunate to work with someone I respect and love immensely, my partner in life and Liv, Sara MacLennan.

How I Liv

What are you passionate about?
My passions are, first and foremost, my family, followed closely by travel, biking, camping, ancient civilizations, cooking with Sara, and karate. We love Paris in the fall, and whenever we go to Europe, we make a stopover there for at least a few days.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Spend more time travelling and helping others live better. I wouldn't quit working – I'm just not wired that way. I'd make sure my kids' education is looked after and our parents are well looked after. After all of that, if there is money left over, I'd pull out the Atlas (or, I suppose, Google Earth) and the bucket list and start making some checkmarks.
What's your dream vacation?
I love to travel, so it's hard to pick just one, but Thailand, Kenya (Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro crater), and Australia are my top three right now.

What's your favourite book?
I love to read, so a favourite book is very difficult to narrow down. My favourite classic is Charles Dickens's "Great Expectations." Favourite Sci-Fi books: Lord of the Rings, Frank Hebert's "Dune" series, and Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series.
What did you get into trouble for the most as a child?
Where do I start? I was an adventurous boy, but my biggest no-no was almost burning the house down by lighting some valentine's day cards on fire. I guess five-year-old Sheldon couldn't deal with getting cards from girls. I can assure you that I did get over the phobia of girls.
What's your favourite quote?
"Do or Do not, there is no try" -Yoda
