Our Story

We’ve all heard of Aristotle’s philosophy “Everything happens for a reason” which was discovered on his quest to understand the meaning of life. Circumstances and events happen in your life that leads to change and growth. People come in and out of your life exactly when they are meant to. These people either teach you a lesson or come in to better your life! The second part rings true for our story!

Finding a partner that shares the same core values as you in all aspects of life whether it's parenting, volunteering, community involvement, helping people and of course a passion for real estate is something most people strive for. We have been fortunate to find this in each other!

Together we are blending our families with our 5 incredible boys, working to create a legacy we are proud of & giving back to our local community through volunteerism and supporting all things local. We strongly believe in always doing our best and leading by example so we can teach our boys what goal setting, hard work, and a love of life can provide you!

Michael Soatto

Co-Founder - Realtor®

I have always loved helping people. I spent 15 years in customer service, sales, and public service before finding my true passion, real estate. Growing up in a military family, I know what it's like to make a new start in a new community, a new school system, and having to make new friends. I work hard to make those transitions for the people I help stress-free. I love calling the Barrie community home for myself and my sons, Daniel & Riley, and continue to support local businesses and volunteer my time in the community and with the Barrie Minor Hockey Association. I look forward to helping you fall in the love with the community too.

Krista Alblas

Office Manager - Licensed Assistant

I have been working as an administrative professional for over 10 years, initially starting in the hospitality industry before moving into the real estate industry. After working for multiple real estate brokerages I decided to make the move to working for a real estate team and haven’t looked back! The combination of administrative and real estate experience, as well as my education in business, helps me in providing the best possible support for our team of sales representatives and their clients as they search for their dream home.

Sam MacLennan

Creative Producer

Being the ‘Creative Producer’ is a fancy way of saying I’m the resident visual storyteller.

I have developed my skills as a professional photographer and videographer for over 10 years, eventually finding my way to the real estate industry where my versatile nature and strong attention to detail allowed me to thrive. I am always on the hunt for the perfect image and finding innovative ways in creating and sharing stories. Distilling images to their simplest and boldest form is always my goal, no matter if I’m photographing a kitchen, an aerial shot of a beach, or an on-camera interview; it’s the story that always matters.

David Andrews

Client Connect

I have been interested in real estate since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a fascination with big buildings and knew that when I grew up I wanted to be a part of it in some way. As an ambitious 18 year old, I immediately applied to Humber College to obtain my real estate licence. I plan to use my technology skills and knowledge to help people in the ever-changing, fast paced world of real estate.

Besides real estate, my greatest other passion is golf. My home course is the Barrie Country Club and I have played that course more times than I can count. I am currently focused on trying to win the club championship this upcoming season! I also enjoy working on and building cars!

Kelly Penman

Realtor®

I love helping buyers and sellers find properties that best fit their lifestyles. The Barrie and surrounding area are a perfect blend of city and country – a lovely area to raise a family, to enjoy the great outdoors, and to grow.

Laura Francella

Born in Kirkland Lake and raised here in Simcoe County, I have an effective combination of north-eastern tenacity and southern charisma.
