After 16 years in retail sales, I walked away with so much more than a career. I built meaningful relationships, learned countless lessons, made mistakes, grew, and discovered what I truly love: helping people find the right fit.

Whether it was finding the perfect pair of shoes or just-right touch to complete an outfit, it was never just about the sale. It was about understanding someone’s lifestyle, their budget, what they needed now, and what would serve them well in the future. I was always honest about what worked, what didn’t, and what I genuinely believed was the best fit for them. That’s the part of the job I loved most.

After three years away from helping people in that way, I’m so excited to share what’s next…

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined Realty Executives Saskatoon as a Realtor.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that real estate isn’t all that different from what I’ve always done. Every client has a different budget, different priorities, and a different vision of “home.” My job is to listen, advocate, and help you find the right fit—not just for today, but for your future.

I can’t wait to help buyers and sellers navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with honesty, care, and confidence.

Follow along on this new journey at @derksonrealty. Here’s to helping you make the right move.
