Melissa Kost

Since 2004, I have had the pleasure of serving my community as a full time REALTOR®, assisting clients in finding the perfect home, selling their property, or expanding their investment portfolios. My work is driven by my passion for community and family, which I infuse into every interaction with my clients. My commitment to exceptional service has fostered long-standing relationships with my clients, leading to referrals and repeat business, which is the ultimate measure of success. 

As a consistent top producer, I take great pride in my achievements in the industry, including most recently being awarded CIR Realty’s Cirrus Platinum Award. 

When I’m not hustling for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my two daughters, my husband and my fur baby Virgil. We love to travel and I collect Starbucks mugs everywhere I go. I have a sweet spot for chai lattes, all things Disney and Country Music. I am also actively involved in volunteering in the community and fundraising for causes that are close to my heart. Giving back is also an essential part of who I am. I am a member of CIR Realty’s 1 for ALL charity program and I proudly donate a portion of each transaction to the Ronald MacDonald House of Southern Alberta or AARCS. 

I have cultivated unparalleled systems, an extensive marketing plan and a team of top quality agents and support professionals to make the largest transaction of your life as smooth and seamless as possible. This allows our team to focus on our clients and their needs, ensuring that they receive the best possible service. We have built relationships with trades and services our sellers need to support their sale from start to finish. We believe in empowering you as the consumer through education and will leave no questions unanswered & no stone unturned finding you the perfect home while providing you with an extraordinary Real Estate Experience.
