Meet The Rosts

Rost Real Estate is a family owned business. We’re proud to serve the communities where we grew up and continue to live. 

We’re here to help you find the perfect place or sell your space as you journey onward, but, most importantly, we’re here to support our neighbors. We know our industry, we’re in your corner, and we’re never more than a phone call away. 

We’re Rost Real Estate: Kristyn, Brendan, and Melissa. We turn clients into friends, houses into homes,

and we’re the REALTORS® next door.

Who I am

My siblings might tell you I’m the vision behind Rost Real Estate, but they also might joke that the vision’s seen through rose-tinted glasses. Because while I pride myself on the exacting execution of home buying and selling processes, I’m a true romantic at heart. That’s why expert achievement is so important to me – because when the only thing left to do is hand over house keys, I want the moment captured like a favorite family photograph in your mind. I’m talking happy dances in the foyer and clapping in the kitchen. When you trust your agent has done everything in their power to best serve you, there’s nothing but joy.

And joy’s the end game for me, too. My husband says I’m most happy when matching a client to their dream home. That that happiness must have a contagious effect because I have a habit of turning clients into friends (you’ll see). There’s nothing like improving another’s life, and when we’re talking about homeownership, changing lives is exactly that. 

This is probably why our broker calls me the “Energizer Bunny.” With experience in over 400 property transactions, I’ve not only helped new friends improve their prospects, but I’ve earned industry recognition for this work as well. With a wealth of experience in new home builds, I’m able to provide comprehensive support when it comes to reading blueprints, the construction process and communicating with builders.

My mission is to offer authentic representation. At Rost Real Estate, we do things differently because we’re your neighbours, and neighbours take care of one another.

Who I am

Service has always been a major theme in my life. So much so that in 2009 I became a Firefighter Paramedic with Strathcona County, a role I continue to balance with my realty work – four days on / four days off.

The thought of your Realtor moonlighting as a Firefighter Paramedic might seem a little strange. I can see that, but I also know my ability to work under extreme pressure, place client care at first priority, and to negotiate as though life depends on it, gives me an advantage other realtors simply don’t have. I appreciate the people who make up my community, and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure the folks I represent are protected. 

But Emergency Services isn’t the only experience I draw from to find success in Real Estate. Before becoming a REALTOR®, I repaired homes as a private contractor. Years of renovations gave me a comprehensive understanding of current building codes, construction standards, permit legislation, and zoning bylaws – not to mention an eye for workmanship. I also forged professional relationships with vendors I continue to bring aboard to meet Rost Real Estate’s home repair, staging, and inspection needs, and I’m grateful to have formed networks within local business communities. 

My beautiful wife, Leah, and I live with our children in one of the first houses ever built in Sherwood Park – a property we restored to meet our growing family’s needs while raising our kids within its historic walls. There’s another lesson learned: if we can tackle a job that big to secure our dream home, there’s no doubt of my ability to make yours a reality, too.
