To date my most cherished accomplishment in a 26-year real estate career has been my status as an Honourable Citizen of Faro Yukon. I received this in 2001 while listing most of the houses in Faro. It caused great excitement when we raffled off a 'free' house and the story was picked up by the New York Times. I was awarded Citizen status for EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS by the people of Faro. I have received many awards and been a top realtor in offices ranging from Century 21, Coldwell Banker and Rem ax. None of these plaques holds a place in my heart like my Faro Citizenship award. It feels good to give back to your community and I feel that the whole of the Yukon Territory is one community. 

Today, almost 20 years later I have won the 'Life Lottery'. My son Bob Kostelnik, my daughter Kaitlin Kostelnik Melvin and myself are immensely proud and happy to announce our newest family business, 2% Realty Midnight Sun Inc. We currently own and operate 2% Realty Sunshine Coast Inc., located in the beautiful Seaside City of Powell River, BC, our area reaches down to Gibsons Landing (the sister company) and now 2% Realty Midnight Sun Inc., in the stunning Wilderness City of Whitehorse YT. (the brother company). Bob will run the Whitehorse office and Kait will run the Powell River office. I will be living between the two cities, mentoring new realtors, promoting our offices, and spending time with my grandsons. 

We are currently looking to hire qualified professional realtors, with or without experience who are prepared to be extremely busy by helping friends and neighbours in our communities KEEP THEIR MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS! 2% is a Canadian Company without heavy franchise costs so we can pass those savings along to you. Our realtors are charged a low deal split which continues through when they sell a full priced commission listing this allows them to make a good living. We provide the consumer with total real estate service through MLS and realtor.ca ... we price your house, we take the pictures, we negotiate your contracts, all of this for a much fairer price in this world of fast moving technology, houses are selling in 48 hours and you are paying out thousands of$$ NOT FAIR.

 
I am so very excited to be able to offer this to our families, friends and neighbours in the Yukon!! We love that we can offer an incredible edge for our realtors and great savings to our communities. As awarded by the people of Faro Yukon, I and my Son and Daughter will continue to provide both our realtors and our communities with service that will EXCEED YOUR EXPECTIONS. Thanks to all of you for the incredible support that we have received, YUKONERS are awesome! We look forward to putting a great team together, if you are looking for a supportive workplace that will make you proud to be a realtor please call Bob at 867 333 9242 or if you think a move to the Sunshine Coast is in order call Sunny 604 414 7372 let's talk 2%.

After leaving Newfoundland 25 years ago and travelling across Canada with my husband, Neil and 4 kids, jam packed in a minivan, we headed for the Yukon and feel that it was one of the best decisions we ever made.  We landed in Faro, Yukon and have never looked back!

We were looking for a better life for our kids and having grown up in a large family, we were encouraged to work hard to succeed.  And that we did!  We have laid a good foundation for our kids to move forward in life.  Our family has grown over the years – 4 children with an additional 7 grandchildren – we couldn’t be more proud!

I have worked hard at lots of jobs and many businesses.  From running The Valley Bed & Breakfast in Faro for 14 years, to food catering, to making pickles & jams, to a health & wellness home business…I have tried it all!  With lots of success, I might add - in a small town, you need to be diversified.  I have always had the entrepreneurial spirit in me.

We sold our B&B in 2015 and moved to Whitehorse.  We bought a house in 2016 and have settled in this beautiful city!  We love the beautiful scenery right outside our door and always encourage our down East family to come visit ‘The Yukon’!

Having lived in Faro for 20 years, this little town will hold a special place in our hearts forever.  Faro is also the place where I met my good friend/Realtor, Dawn Kostelnik.  She was selling houses and we were both promoting Faro at that time.  Now, almost 20 years later, we reconnected and are now working together at 2% Realty Midnight Sun Ltd.  This is another chapter/adventure that I am very excited about and will continue to give it my very best!

If you are looking to buy or sell, please consider giving us a call at 2% Realty.  We will help you save $$ and give you the best ‘Freake’n service possible!

I arrived in Yukon 35-plus years ago, and like so many before me, planned to stay for a short time.  Happily, I have been a Whitehorse resident ever since. There is no place like this.

My experience includes banking, decades working in the Yukon government Protocol Office, and as owner/operator of a bed and breakfast. These careers enabled me to meet people from all walks of life and interacting with each of them is what I do best. My past work experience, familiarity with the area, and interest in home ownership has now led to my pursuit of a career in real estate.

Both of my adult children were born and raised in Yukon and spending time with my grandsons is a real joy. I also enjoy walking my Whippets, gardening, and quilting.

I am employed by 2% Midnight Sun Realty and look forward to providing you with professional real estate assistance.
