About Andrea McKen
Before becoming a REALTOR®, I worked for a major oil & gas company in Calgary as a Marketing Manager for several years. This was an excellent opportunity to develop my marketing skills, put my business and sociology degrees to good use and grow from student to professional. Overtime, I developed a keen interest in real estate and discovered I sincerely enjoyed helping others, but lacked this customer touch point in my career. I immediately fulfilled my educational and licensing requirements to become a REALTOR® and started a full-time career in real estate with CIR Realty shortly thereafter.
My real estate scope is further supplemented with my role as a Candidate Appraiser with the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) pursuing the AIC Program of Professional Studies to obtain the AACI designation. I'm also a fee appraiser for Wernick Omura Singh, with a focus on residential and agriculture appraising.
Outside of helping sellers and buyers fulfill their real estate dreams, I'm a mom to an active grade schooler. I have a passion for running 10K races, I love kayaking in our beautiful Rockies and if I’m lucky enough, snorkeling in tropics when the weather gets a little unbearable in Calgary! I also serve as the Babysitting Program Co-ordinator for the Killarney-Glengarry Community Association and actively volunteer for the Calgary Board of Education.
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
My goal as your REALTOR® is to work for YOU. This means having a perfect understanding of your needs, what makes you happy, and what you don't want. It means working on YOUR schedule, and not pressuring you into a decision. YOUR real estate transaction deserves an outstanding customer service experience, built on TRUST, COMMUNICATION, and with your BEST INTERESTS at heart. It should also be affordable, stress-free, and fun! I am honoured to represent YOU in your real estate decisions.
