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.

East Village in Calgary, Alberta, Canada - you will Love the Vibe
Saturday Apr 24, 2021
Saturday Apr 24, 2021
Looking for a trendy neighborhood in Calgary that's walkable and modern? You have arrived at the East Village!
Spanning 49 acres between Fort Calgary and the downtown business core, East Village’s central location along the banks of the Bow River makes it a highly desirable piece of real estate. It’s hardly surprising that East Village was where downtown Calgary first began – the site where our city was founded.
Fast forward to today. East Village is in the midst of an exciting transformation. Since 2007, CMLC’s commitment of $396 million into infrastructure and development programs has so far attracted nearly $3 billion of planned development. As developers and retailers have come to see the value of the East Village transformation, our available inventory of land has been snapped up.
Ready to make a move? Contact me directly to discuss which community in Calgary may be the right fit for you!
