Challenge for Shelter
In July 2017, a group of 82 Royal LePage agents and broker/owners from across Canada along with Royal LePage President, Phil Soper, and Royal LePage Shelter Foundation staff, Shanan Spencer-Brown and Carly Neill, traveled across the North Atlantic Ocean to take part in the Iceland Challenge for Shelter!
Machu Pichu Challenge
Did you know that every night in Canada more than 3,000 women and their 2,500 children stay in a shelter to escape domestic violence? In many cases, these women are literally running for their lives and demonstrating incredible bravery. In August, 2015 I completed the trek to the lost city of Machu Pichhu in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and raising funds to help these women and children. For 8 days, my friends and colleagues from Royal LePage offices across Canada trekked at high altitude, slept in tents, and went without running water, electricity and cell service. To be eligible to participate, we were required raise at least $5,000 for our local women's shelter! I prepared physically and mentally for the challenge for months. Each dollar we raised and every step we took made it easier for women and children to walk safely away from violence.

We came from a long way away and didn't know a soul in Windsor/Essex. We found Kathleen just by chance because she was listing a home that we were interested in looking at. Because we lived so far away, we could only come down to look at homes on the weekends when we weren't working. Kathleen gave up at least 4 out of 6 of her weekends over a 6 week period to help us find a home.

Kathleen Sturba is one of the most professional real estate agents my wife and I have ever dealt with. We would not select anyone else for our real estate transactions. Kathleen's knowledge of the real estate market is equally matched by her honesty, sincerity, and dedication towards her clients. She thoroughly understood all aspects of the real estate market, such as property values and marketing. She demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail.

Kathleen was positive, professional and was always available to service this listing. Her hard work and dedication resulted in getting us the best price for our home. She also found us an excellent agent in the Niagara region that was instrumental in getting us the home we wanted and negotiated very well on our behalf. Without Kathleen’s help, we would not have achieved our goals and timely move from Windsor to the Niagara region. Thank you. We are so appreciative of your support and friendship.

Just a brief note of sincere thanks Kathleen, for taking such good care of my mom and dad. They are visiting this weekend and are so very excited about their upcoming lifestyle change in Cooper's Mill. Your efforts to assist them in the process of selling the old home and finding a new one is appreciated more than words can express. This, as you well know, is a very stressful process at the best of times and especially for elderly folks. From the onset you treated them with utmost care.

Purchasing a first home can be a very stressful and trying time. As a first time homebuyer, I was unaware of the logistics and preparation required prior to purchase. Relying on the experience and expertise of Kathleen Sturba helped ease that transition. She worked tirelessly to locate the home that best fit my interest and needs, all while in a timely manner. Her knowledge of the market is second to none. She has made the experience of buying my first home a tremendous success.

3 years ago Arthur and I decided to move to Windsor. We met Kathleen, she showed us all around Windsor. Kathleen sent us listings, although our plans changed and Arthur retired, Kathleen sold us on Windsor. She literally changed our lives. We love Windsor. Kathleen doesn't just sell houses, she makes people feel important and fulfills their dreams. She is a dream maker and a truly wonderful person. We are so lucky!!

Never having ever sold a house before, I had to rely on my agents skills. Kathleen came highly recommended by friends. Their recommendation was well fulfilled. Not only was Kathleen knowledgeable and helpful, she was pleasant. Nothing was done as efficiently as the sale of this house. The house was sold in three day and I was pleased. I would recommend Team Sturba to anyone.

Kathleen was extremely sensitive, reliable and efficient when we begin the process of selling our home. She gave us the confidence we needed to leave the house, which for the past 56 years has been the heart of our family and especially ourselves. We were totally relaxed and enjoyed her sunny disposition while she guided us through through the process.
"
- Tom and Euleen McCann
"
I found Kathleen very professional and eager to solve my request. She had to work under some restricted conditions and she handled them very well. She was always there to listen to my whims and when I told her what I wanted to pay for my condo, she was hard nosed and would not bridge on my offer. I think anyone who has a need for a new house, or to sell their home, she would be perfect for the job. So, thanks again Kathleen for a job well done.
