Buying our first home was one of the biggest steps we’ve ever taken, and I can’t imagine having gone through it with anyone other than Kate Arnold.
We worked with Kate off and on over a year, and from our very first showing, she stood out as someone we could trust. She asked thoughtful questions about what really mattered to us—not just the basics, but how we wanted to live, what we needed as a family, and what our long-term hopes were. She remembered every detail, from our preferences to our toddler’s favourite colour.
We had a few twists and turns along the way, including one home we made an offer on that didn’t work out. But every time we were ready to try again, we immediately thought of Kate. She’s kind, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and—this is rare—completely honest. She gave us her honest opinion even when it might have cost her the sale. That kind of integrity is everything. She truly puts her clients first.
When we found the house—one we had our eye on since the very first day we arrived in Fort McMurray, almost three years ago!—Kate made the whole process smooth, encouraging, and even fun. She treated our toddler like a real part of the process, pointing out features to her, remembering what she liked, and helping her feel like this was her new home too. That meant the world to us.
Working with Kate felt less like a transaction and more like shopping for a home with a trusted friend who truly has your best interests at heart. She keeps you grounded, gives great advice, and supports you from start to finish with so much grace.
If you're looking for a realtor in Fort McMurray who will advocate for you, listen to you, and truly care—Kate is the one. I’d recommend her a hundred times over.
