Our Values
Hi, I’m Emily Schuurmans! I grew up in Floradale, a small town in Woolwich County. For many years, I worked on the family dairy farm feeding calves, milking cows and helping out with all the family chores. As the years went on, our farming operation grew, and so did our family’s real estate portfolio.
Through our family’s farm purchases and real estate investments, as well as barn and house rentals, my curiousity for real estate was piqued. This initial curiousity has long since transformed into my greatest passion; one which I dedicate myself to completely. Over time, my knowledge and connections in the real estate industry have grown exponentially, and I am now living my passion for real estate by working with home buyers and sellers in the Waterloo Region and surrounding area. I work hard to extract the most value for my sellers, and to find and negotiate the perfect properties for my buyers. Not only do I promote real estate as an investment, but back it up by owning several rental properties myself. I believe in the financial freedom rental properties can provide, let me show you how.
Growing up as a farmer, owning my own business, and buying my first house have all been contributing factors to the way I conduct business when it comes to Real Estate. It is about helping you buy your first, second, or third home, maybe even your first investment property (or your seventh!) and being a part of that excitement. It’s about helping you sell your home and move on to different, new, and exciting chapters in your life. I want to help you understand the Real Estate market today, while helping you achieve your goals for tomorrow!
In growing my own Real Estate investment portfolio, I am inspired to help others do the same. Together with my partner Brodie we currently own five investment properties including three duplexes, which we fully renovated and converted from single family homes, and one heritage-designated four-plex, the units of which will be completely restored over the coming years. As well as honing my vision for home remodelling and conversions, my personal experience with stakeholders, including contractors, engineers, tradespeople, decorators, city counsellors, building inspectors, and more, allows me to help my clients envision and execute their own renovation projects.
I can help guide your Real Estate journey and be there with you every step of the way. If you are thinking about buying and have some questions, or would like to know what your home is worth, please don’t hesitate to contact me! My upbringing and past experience prove that I know what dedicated hard work is, and I strive to provide this same dedication to all of my clients.
I am ranked in the top 1% of individual agents within Keller Williams Canada and #1 for Keller Williams individual agents in the Waterloo Region for 2021 and 2022. I set my mind to being the best realtor, and every day I strive to reach that goal. Let me put my expertise, determination, and tenacity to work for you today. I love real estate, and I love helping people; give me a call so I can do the two things I love!
What they've said about us
“Emily genuinely cares about her clients. She truly listens to you, answers all your questions and offers fact based advice. Emily always has your best interest in mind and making sure she’s finding what you want in your dream home. She’s the best!!!”
K. PowerSeller
“We trusted Emily in selling one of our Condo units in Kitchener. Although being out of the country at the time, her team staged the unit, hosted an open house and brought us an offer we were happy to take. From the start, Emily was never pushy, always acted professionally and even encouraged us to interview other realtors. She spoke facts and took a mathematically based approach to determining market value for our unit. I must applaud Emily, as she was robbed of her Shoes during her listing appointment. She kept a smile on, and I will never forget that odd moment we shared together. Thank you Emily for all your hard work, your team, and your patience with us throughout this process.”
Simon W.Investor
“This young woman is the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with (both buying and selling)! Not only is Emily honest, super knowledgeable and hard working, she also has a warm, cheerful personality which makes the whole process of buying and selling a home a great experience for everyone involved! From staging to marketing, finding the perfect buyer to securing a great price, at every step of the way Emily was/is top-knotch!!!!!!”
L. BaierInvestor
“I had an outstanding experience working with Emily as my realtor. Her dedication, knowledge, and professionalism exceeded our expectations. Emily's attention to detail and excellent communication skills made the entire process seamless(even while she was on vacation). She truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients find the right home. I highly recommend Emily for anyone seeking the best real estate professional.”
Levi V.Buyer
“We chose Emily as our Realtor because we enjoyed her energy, from the get-go it was clear that she was going to be putting her energy and attention into selling our place and getting the best for us. Our much loved home was just a modest two bedroom townhouse, but she gave it the same energy as if it were a million-dollar home. Emily and her team did an amazing job selling our townhouse. At the end of the day, it sold for way over asking due to her and her teams marketing techniques! This team knows their stuff, and made us feel like part of the team, too. We couldn’t be happier with the results and are were so grateful to go through this process with Emily and her team.”
Victoria M.Seller
“Emily has been our realtor throughout the purchase of several properties. She knows so much about houses in general and has her finger on the pulse of the market, always working so hard to ensure we get the best possible purchase price based on current market conditions. We met Emily during a Kijiji purchase and hit it off immediately (chatted for 2 hours in my backyard!!). She is authentic, genuine, and operates with the utmost integrity. If you have any real estate needs, you won't regret calling Emily :)”
Sabrina D.Investor
“My fiancé and I are so happy with how awesome Emily was in helping us find and purchase our first home together! Emily went out of her way to make sure our needs were met, explaining what we needed to know every step of the way. Emily was so professional, and eager to meet our needs! We will recommend Emily Schuurmans to all our friends and look forward to working with her again in the future!”
E. DeJongFirst Time Home Buyer
“Emily was instrumental in the purchase of my first home. She introduced me to a grant which allowed me to raise a significant amount of my down payment. I had lots of specifics for my first home, but she was very patient, taking her time to find the perfect home. She went above and beyond during my three months searching for a home, sometimes taking videos of the home when I was unable to make the visit. She always arrived on time to scheduled visits, and communicated effectively throughout the process. She also assisted me post sale, and provided lots of guidance as a first time home buyer. Should I need to buy or sell my home, I know I will be going back to her, due to the professionalism displayed by her throughout the purchase of my home.”
A. Tunde-OjoFirst Time Home Buyer
“Emily Schuurmans is a great Real Estate Agent sold our home in less then a week with multiple offers. Photographer and Stager made the listing look amazing. Always responded to our messages and answered every phone call! Made a stressful part of our lives a fantastic experience.”
Thomas B.Seller
“10/10 for Emily. She was beyond helpful the entire way through listing and selling of our property. She conducts herself in a very professional manner and is always willing to answer the phone for any questions that may arise.
Will definitely be a return Buyer & Seller!!
Cheers to the good work!”
G. BenderCommercial Investor
“Emily is a fantastic agent to work with. She's extremely knowledgeable, and professional. She made the buying and selling process as stress free as possible, walking us through each step. She worked hard, getting us more offers than we expected on our house. Highly recommend working with Emily!”
C. MountfordMove-up Buyer
“We couldn't be happier with the referral we were provided, by a mutual business professional. From our initial meeting, we knew Emily was the realtor we wanted to sell our home. The passion for her profession was clear from the moment of initial meeting to the closure of the sale. Emily was always professional, a calm clear communicator with a listening ear, and a person with attention to detail, making the process easy and lucrative. It was evident she knows her market and continuously went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of, operating at a smooth, fast pace. It was exactly what we hoped for. We will not hesitate to use Emily's expertise in the future.”
Jan G.Seller
“My Boyfriend and I would have been lost without Emily, she is so helpful, professional and she knows the real estate market like the back of her hand. She helped us navigate house hunting and was with us every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”
W. WoodsFirst Time Home Buyer
“Emily helped my partner and I buy our first home, and I don't know where we would be without her! Emily quickly gauged what we were looking for and helped guide us through the process, from looking at options to making an offer. She is a wealth of knowledge particularly during showings where her insight into home construction was incredibly valuable. She was able to point out issues that we never would have noticed as first-time buyers. She made the process very easy and always took time to answer our questions. I'd recommend Emily to everyone, especially first-time home buyers!”
Tessa J.First Time Homebuyer
“Emily was amazing to work with! My wife and I were looking to purchase a home in our hometown of Brantford. We had a short timeline to make a purchase, and she was very accommodating to our schedules and worked diligently to find us a house that was a good fit for us.”
K. HorrocksFirst Time Home Buyer
“Emily recently assisted my husband and I with the purchase of a home in Elmira. We honestly couldn't have imagined working with a better agent. Throughout our interactions with Emily, we discovered that not only is she friendly, accommodating and a genuine wonderful person, but she is professional, competent and has an incredible knowledge of the real estate market. She really took the time to get to know us and our needs.”
Gay & MossRelocation Home Buyer
“Emily was referred to us by our friends who had just bought and sold their houses with Emily. We are first-time homebuyers and had no idea what to expect from this process. Emily made it SEAMLESS. She explained her role, was extremely communicative, and helped us navigate all steps of the process. Her knowledge of home inspections, what to look out for in homes, listening to our wants and needs, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted was so appreciated. When she was unavailable, she made sure we had a contact (Macie) who was able to take us to see houses and didn't miss a beat! She is very connected and was able to give us great referrals for inspectors and brokers. Emily made the process fun vs. stressful, and we are sending everyone to her!”
TaylorFirst Time Homebuyer
“Emily is amazing!! She guided me through the selling and buying process every step of the way, kept me informed and updated, answered all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure everything was finalized on time. She provided the necessary documents to all parties involved and kept up open communication between us all. As a customer, I felt she definitely kept my best interest at heart and made sure to get me access to any places I wanted to view. Not to mention she has a sparkling personality that makes her so great to work with! I highly recommend her!!”
