Since 2004 Shirley has been actively involved in Calgary real estate, buying, investing and becoming a licensed realtor. Shirley brings a genuine love for this city and a deep knowledge of its neighbourhoods that only comes from truly living here. Before real estate, she spent over ten years teaching with the Calgary Board of Education. That background taught her how to listen well, explain things clearly, and put the people she’s working with first. Those same values guide every buying or selling experience she helps create.

Calgary is Shirley’s home in every sense of the word. For the past twenty years she has been a proud member of the Calgary Civic Orchestra and has taught cello in her community — so when she says she knows this city, she means it personally, not just professionally. When she’s not helping clients find their perfect home, you’ll find her hiking trails, biking paths, hitting the dance floor, or floating happily around in a pool. She teaches and practices Pilates, and never misses a chance to take her dog Roo to the park. Basically, if it gets her moving and outdoors, she’s in! Shirley would love to bring that same energy and local heart to your next real estate journey.
