Our Values
Hi, I’m Emily Schuurmans! I grew up in Floradale, a small community in Woolwich Township, where much of my childhood was spent working on our family dairy farm—feeding calves, milking cows, and pitching in wherever I was needed. As our farming operation grew over the years, so did my family’s involvement in real estate.
Through farm purchases, investment properties, and managing barn and residential rentals, my curiosity about real estate began early. What started as an interest eventually became a genuine passion and, ultimately, a career I’ve dedicated myself to.
Today, I work with buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Waterloo Region and the surrounding communities. I bring the same work ethic I learned growing up on the farm to every client relationship: work hard, be straightforward, pay attention to the details, and always keep the bigger picture in mind.
For my sellers, that means positioning and negotiating their property to achieve the best possible outcome. For my buyers, it means finding the right property, recognizing opportunities, and negotiating with their goals firmly in mind.
Real estate investing is also something I believe in personally. I own and manage rental properties myself, so when I talk with clients about building wealth through real estate, it comes from firsthand experience—not simply theory. I’ve seen the opportunities that thoughtful real estate investing can create, and I love helping others understand how property ownership can become part of their own long-term financial goals.
Growing up on a farm, owning my own business, buying my first home, and building a real estate investment portfolio have all shaped the way I approach real estate today. For me, it has always been about more than the transaction—it’s about helping people make confident decisions and move toward what comes next.
Whether you’re buying your first home, your third, or your seventh investment property, I love being part of that excitement. The same is true when it’s time to sell. A home often represents an important chapter in someone’s life, and I want to help make the transition into the next one as successful as possible. My goal is to help you understand today’s real estate market while making smart, strategic decisions for tomorrow.
My own experience as a real estate investor gives me a perspective that extends well beyond buying and selling. Together with my partner, Brodie, we’ve converted three single-family homes into duplexes, two of which we continue to own and manage. We’ve also purchased and renovated multi-unit properties, including a heritage-designated fourplex and another fourplex in Drayton.
Those projects have given me firsthand experience with renovations, conversions, property management, and the challenges that can come with improving and repositioning a property. I’ve worked alongside contractors, engineers, tradespeople, designers, municipal staff, building inspectors, heritage committees, and other professionals throughout the process.
That experience allows me to see possibilities in a property that others may overlook—and, more importantly, to help my clients understand what it may actually take to turn those possibilities into reality. Whether you’re looking for a home to make your own or a property with investment potential, I’m here to help you see the opportunity, understand the challenges, and make an informed decision.
We’re here to guide you through your real estate journey and be by your side every step of the way. Whether you’re thinking about buying, have questions about the market, or simply want to know what your home is worth, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I’m incredibly proud to be ranked among the top 1% of individual agents with Keller Williams Canada, including #1 in the Waterloo Region in 2021 and 2022, and #1 individual Keller Williams agent in Canada for 2025.
When I started in real estate, I set my mind to becoming the best Realtor I could be. Over the years, I’ve learned that being the best isn’t really about a ranking or a number on a page—it’s about the dedication you bring to the people who trust you with some of the biggest decisions of their lives.
I’m deeply committed to my clients and to protecting their best interests, even when that means having difficult conversations or sharing hard truths. Real estate is built on trust: my clients trust me to give them knowledgeable, straightforward advice, and I trust them to make the decisions that are right for them. Together, we work toward the best possible outcome.
I genuinely love real estate, but even more than that, I love helping people make smart, strategic decisions about their future. If you’re considering a move, I’d love the opportunity to put my experience, determination, and dedication to work for you.
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!!”
