I was looking for a career that offered more flexibility, but still allowed me to work hard and make a real impact. I’ve always enjoyed connecting with people and building genuine relationships, and real estate gives me the chance to do that every day. On top of that, I’m someone who constantly pushes myself to grow, and this industry challenges me to keep learning, improving, and stepping outside my comfort zone

Straight talk, reliability and someone who genuinely cares. Whether I’m helping a client find a home or sell their property, I bring the same mindset I’ve always lived by—be reliable, do the work, and never cut corners. I’m not flashy, but I am solid, and I’ll have your back from day one.

Most people don’t expect that I used to work on a flusher truck, yes I have my Class 3 and honestly, that job taught me a lot about grit and problem-solving.. I also grew up raising animals for food, which gave me a deep respect for self-sufficiency, responsibility, and knowing where things come from. I also love to support local companies any chance that I can. I love the outdoors and going on adventures around the world.

I’ve had horses my entire life and have been showing them for over 16 years—it’s a huge part of who I am. When I’m not in the barn or at a show, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen. I love to cook and bake, and lately I’ve been diving into the world of sourdough. It’s been a fun (and sometimes challenging!) new adventure that really taps into my love of learning and doing things from scratch.

What Our Clients Say

I asked Karina Van Brabandt to help me sell my acreage and represent me in purchasing my dream property after talking to a few different agents and I am so glad I did! Not only did she provide excellent service, she’s personable and fun, which the whole process a lot less stressful! Not only did we sell my home in the first 48 hours of the listing going live with no conditions…..She even got me 100k more than previous agents thought my home was worth!! The photographer was amazing and really captured my home in its best light. I really feel that they went above and beyond to ensure my home sold, without lowballing me on the price! As we were searching for my next property and doing showings, I noticed Karina had a wicked eye for little details that I certainly would have missed! She pointed out water spots, cracks, and smells that really helped me form a realistic picture of homes I had fallen in love with online. All in all, my experience with Karina and her team was top tier and I would recommend her to anyone! She knows her stuff and made the entire process as smooth as could be!

I had the chance to meet Calvin, Karina, and Aimee from Calvin Real Estate at a recent convention in Red Deer, and I was really impressed. They were easy to talk to and shared a ton of knowledge about the Alberta market that gave me a lot to think about. If you’re looking at properties in Edmonton or northern Alberta, I’d definitely recommend connecting with them. Great people, down-to-earth, and they really know their stuff. I’m looking forward to working with them in the future when the timing is right.
