Welcome to There’s No Place Like Home with REALTOR® and storyteller Diane Planidin.
Each week, we explore what “home” really means — from the vibrant neighbourhoods, parks, and family communities of Calgary, Alberta, and beyond, to the peaceful mountain lifestyle of Invermere on the Lake and the Columbia Valley in British Columbia. Whether you’re relocating, rightsizing as an empty nester, buying your first home, or investing in a second home or luxury property, I help you navigate the journey with clarity, compassion, and lived experience.
Did you know… many of my clients don’t live in just one place?
Some ski in the winter, golf in the summer, reconnect with family in the Rockies, or simply enjoy the peace of the Columbia Valley and the momentum of Calgary. I support the way people actually live — not the boxes they’re expected to fit into. I do full-time lifestyle.
Sometimes I’ll share moments from my own journey of creating home — cooking for people I love, refreshing spaces so they feel calm and beautiful, tending to a garden, or helping a client see possibility in a room they had given up on. These aren’t projects; they’re reminders that home is the place where relationships flourish and a life takes root.
We’ll also welcome guests who bring real perspective — voices from Canadian economics, philanthropy, community culture, real estate development, and wealth planning. These conversations look at how interest rates, migration, investment trends, tourism, and intergenerational wealth shape where we live, how we age, and how we choose a home that supports the life we want. You’ll hear from entrepreneurs, economists, designers, builders, and community leaders who influence the future of Calgary and the Columbia Valley.
For more than 15 years, I’ve walked alongside clients through meaningful transitions: empty nesters seeking freedom, seniors downsizing, families returning to the Rockies, and newcomers building a life in Canada. Real estate isn’t just square footage — it’s identity, legacy, and peace of mind.
Expect heartfelt conversations, gentle encouragement, market insights, design inspiration, and the truth about what it takes to flourish in today’s Canadian real estate market — starting from Calgary and flowing into the places where life slows down, like Invermere and the Columbia Valley.
Because - There’s no Place Like Home.© And the right one can change your life.

Saturday May 08, 2021
The birds are singing and spring is in the air! The spring season in the housing market started earlier than expected this year, mainly due to the ups and downs that the Covid-19 virus and it's impact on all our lives.
When you hear that the market is 'booming' and the sales are up x% over last year at this time, remember that last year at this time we were barley allowed to leave our house, let along buy one. Keep this in mind before you get swept up with thinking there is a housing shortage. It's not that simple.
Contact us today to discuss how we can help you, make the right move.
