Beck, Kim

Buying or selling a home is a pivotal event in most people’s lives and, and for many a very emotional one. It marks a transition from one period of time in a family’s, or person’s life to another.

For the seller it means letting go of a place that day-by-day has influenced, even defined their lives and, so, no price tag can fully reflect that homes value.

For the buyer, it is a moment of new beginnings, a fresh start on a future that did not exist before that purchase was made. I have heard clients say that one of the most anticipated, exciting night of their lives was the first night they spent in their new home.

So I came to realize that I am not in the real-estate business, I am in the experience business. That, in a very meaningful way, I get to bring change to the quality and direction of people’s lives.

I have had this privilege since 1992 and have worked continuously with the Northstar office. When people ask what I do for a living, my response is “I help people realize their dreams and then hand them the keys to it.”

On a personal side I am married to Bill and have 2 sons, Adam and Jordan. I have many interests from skiing, golf, watching football and biking. I was on the Alberta Freestyle ski team, taught skiing and was trained as a Canadian Ski Patrol. Currently I am a passionate supporter of BC Children’s Hospital & Zajac Foundation.

Professionally I have sold over 1200 homes in my career, worked with many developers selling land, lots, homes, townhomes and condominiums. I own real-estate in Canada and the US.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Franklin D Roosevelt.

“Real-estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” I believe in what I do and I also love what I do.

I look forward to being able to share my expertise with you and making this experience a pleasant and memorable one for both of us. And if we are lucky, a friendship, as many of my clients have ended up at my dinner table.
