Royal LePage Benchmark - Cochrane & Area

06/01/2026

We are proud to announce the return of the 3rd Annual Alberta Off-Road Experience on September 12th, 2026.

This year, our team has set a goal to raise $20,000, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to Big Hill Haven. Every dollar raised supports those fleeing domestic violence, providing immediate safety and funding vital preventative programs that work to break the cycle of abuse.

You do not need an off-road vehicle to participate and support this cause. We have a team of exceptional drivers ready to host you, followed by a community BBQ.

Together, we can create safe spaces and offer tangible hope to families in our community.

What started as a single red paperclip turned into a full-on lesson in creativity, patience, and human connection 🏠🔴

In 2005, Canadian blogger Kyle MacDonald asked a simple question: What if I tried to trade up from one small item to something better? He posted a photo of a red paperclip online—and over the course of 14 clever trades, that tiny piece of metal turned into bigger and better items, including a stove, a snowmobile, a recording contract, a movie role, and finally… a house in Saskatchewan.

No money. No shortcuts. Just imagination, storytelling, and the power of saying yes to opportunities. The “One Red Paperclip” experiment became a legendary internet story and a reminder that value isn’t just about price—it’s about timing, creativity, and people.

Proof that even the smallest start can lead somewhere unexpected.

Thinking of waiting until spring to sell? You might not have to.

Selling in the winter often means less competition, more serious buyers, and homes that truly stand out. Buyers looking this time of year are motivated — not just browsing — which can lead to smoother negotiations and quicker decisions.

Winter selling isn’t for everyone, but for the right home and the right strategy, it can be a smart move.

Curious if winter is working for your property? Let’s talk.

"Our first time working with Maricel, and so impressed with her professional and caring attitude. We requested an initial meeting to discuss our downsizing plan, which she helped us plan and navigate through the timing of the listing/selling, etc. She has a very good support team for doing staging, pictorials and sales/listing catalogues. She is very responsive and indeed showed qualities of a very good and seasoned realtor. One of the things we liked is that she has lots of trade contacts from roofing, electrical, plumbing, surveying, house-mover and junk-removal too, which proved to be so helpful and convenient (one-stop-shop :)!"

A huge shoutout to Maricel for going above and beyond for her clients! 🏡✨ From helping with downsizing plans to coordinating every detail of the listing and sale, Maricel’s professionalism, care, and responsiveness made the process seamless. With her experienced team, staging, photography, and even a network of trusted trades, she truly offers a “one-stop-shop” for homeowners. Reviews like this show why Maricel is a trusted partner in every step of the real estate journey! 💛

Winter curb appeal is all about creating a warm, welcoming first impression—no matter the temperature ❄️🏡

Keep driveways and walkways clear of snow and ice, trim back dead branches, and make sure your entryway is clean and clutter-free. Add cozy touches like soft outdoor lighting, a seasonal wreath, or evergreen planters that stay vibrant all winter long.

Even small details, like visible house numbers and a clean front door, can make a big impact and help your home stand out during the colder months.
