About Ria Braaksma

My name is Ria Braaksma and me and my husband came over from Holland in 1993. 

I grew up in what you call an entrepreneurial family, and I really took after that.

In Holland my husband was a dairy farmer but coming to Canada we started into the beef industry. During the first years, I worked at different offices in Edmonton in sales as well as in admin. I also studied Business Management at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In Holland I started already studying for becoming a realtor and being in Canada and living on a farm I thought about going into Real Estate in Alberta as well.

Starting in Stony Plain as a Commercial and Farm Realtor, I joined Real Estate Centre in 2013.  Having personal experience with farming as well as owning my own businesses I enjoy working as a realtor, mainly Farm Real Estate and some commercial. I truly like working with all kinds of different people and properties and am always trying to work hard with my clients as a team.  I am currently licenced in Alberta and Saskatchewan and that is why I put a lot of kilometres on my 4 x 4. My thoughts about Real Estate are that you are never too young to own a piece of property. Keep in mind that there will always be ups and downs however focus on the ups! Having said that, for some it is time to buy and for others it is time to let go and sell.

Please feel free to call me to discuss your road ahead and what we can do together as a team to make it work. 

Honesty and Respect for the land and the people is what I am trying to live by every day.

Testimonials

Ria was excellent to deal with, she made the selling process as easy as possible. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Ria Braaksma was the agent for the farmland that I purchased. Ria is very professional, experienced, extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer, to working with the financial institutions/mortgage brokers. She is always available to answer my questions. She is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend/close relative on the “inside” that is working for you. She really cares about her clients. She is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch. I highly recommend Ria to anyone looking to do any Real Estate transaction. I give her 5-star rating.

We where very pleased with her professional and business like approach to all aspects of our real estate experience.

Ria is a person who really cares about you and your needs! We have been working for about 5 years with her now and hasn't disappointed us once. She makes sure you are being looked after once the deal, or no deal, is finalized. Ria runs the extra mile for you! We definitely recommend her to other buyers/sellers.

Ria helped us find an amazing acreage and she was really good to deal with. We did not know much about purchasing a property, but she advised us about all the steps and inspections before we made the purchase. Thank you!
