Relocating to Calgary · With Gemma Hobb
Find your place in Calgary.
Local perspective and personal support for a move across the country or across the world.
Words by Gemma Hobb
Begin with the life you want to build.
I have moved internationally and within Canada, and helped families arrive in Calgary from the UK, the US and other provinces. We begin with your daily life: work, schools, activities and the places you want close by.
Explore the community first.
We compare Springbank, Elbow Valley and Calgary’s western neighbourhoods around your routines. School eligibility and transport are checked with the relevant authority for your circumstances before narrowing the search.
Explore Springbank and its communitiesMake a viewing visit count.
Before you arrive, we agree priorities and shortlist areas and homes. Between visits, I keep you informed across time zones and identify where another viewing or specialist opinion would help.
Understand a country property.
Water supply, septic systems, internet, waste collection and grounds maintenance can be unfamiliar. We investigate the arrangements at the actual property and involve the relevant specialists.
What I look for in a Springbank acreageCoordinate the whole move.
A new job, a purchase, a sale and possession dates may need to come together. I work with you and the appropriate professionals to plan the sequence, including when one partner moves ahead of the other.
Have someone here to help.
If you leave before your Calgary home sells, we can arrange property checks and viewing preparation. After your purchase, I can also share local contacts to help you settle in.
