Hi, I’m Krista.

A few years ago, I made one of the biggest decisions of my life. After building a successful real estate career in Ontario, I packed up everything I owned and moved across Canada to British Columbia. Not because it was easy. Because it was the life I couldn't stop imagining.

I believed there was a different way to live. Closer to the mountains. Closer to the ocean. Closer to the things that mattered most. I also discovered something unexpected. Moving isn't really about boxes, trucks, or even houses.

It's about leaving behind one chapter and having the courage to begin another. That experience changed the way I think about real estate forever.

I Don't Sell Houses. I Help People Build Lives.

Over the past fifteen years, I've helped hundreds of individuals and families buy, sell, invest, and relocate. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: People rarely move because they simply need another bedroom. They move because something in life is changing.

• A new career
• A growing family
• An empty nest
• Retirement
• A fresh start
• A lifelong dream that's finally within reach

The house matters. But it's never the whole story. That's why my work always begins with a different question: What kind of life are you hoping to build?

Because the right home isn't simply the one with the perfect kitchen or the best view. It's the one that supports the life you want to wake up to every day.

Why My Approach Is Different

Before real estate, I built a career in marketing, communications, graphic design, and project management, including years with RBC Investments and later through my own business.

Those experiences taught me how to think strategically, communicate clearly, and create systems that help people navigate complexity with confidence.

Later, my curiosity about people led me back to university, where I completed a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology. Not because I wanted to leave real estate. Because I wanted to become better at it. I wanted to understand how people make decisions. How they navigate uncertainty. How they move through life's biggest transitions with clarity instead of overwhelm.

Today, those worlds come together naturally.

• Real estate
• Marketing
• Psychology
• Strategy
• Storytelling

They're no longer separate careers. They're the tools I bring to every client I serve.

Why Coast Mountain Living Exists

When I arrived in British Columbia, I thought I was simply changing my address. Instead, I found something much bigger. I found community. I found a slower pace. I found people who understood that success isn't measured only by what you own, but by how you live. Coast Mountain Living was born from that realization.

It's more than a real estate brand. It's a belief that extraordinary places have the power to shape extraordinary lives. It's about discovering communities where you belong. Navigating meaningful moves with confidence. And creating a life that feels intentionally designed rather than accidentally inherited.

Whether that journey brings you to West Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, or somewhere else entirely, my hope is always the same: To help you build a life you'll genuinely love.

More Than a Transaction

If you've spent any time exploring this website, you've probably noticed something. I don't spend much time talking about square footage. I spend a lot of time talking about people. About belonging. About community. About courage. About choosing a life that reflects what matters most. That's because I believe homes are important. But what happens after you unlock the front door matters even more.
