Become a real estate expert

In a world of quick fixes and one-size-fits-all solutions, we take a different approach. While others might offer you a metaphorical fish—a temporary solution that leaves you dependent on their services—we believe in teaching you how to fish. Our comprehensive training and mentorship programs empower you with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to navigate the real estate market independently. We don't just hand you a template; we help you develop the expertise to make informed decisions, adapt to market changes, and build lasting success on your own terms.

​

We're not here to sell you a single property or a deal. In order to succeed in real estate investing you need to underwrite and acquire property better than anyone else in your market.

This means you have to be an expert.

What's your why?

"One who has a why can bear almost any how" 

​

For us, real estate investing is about more than just building wealth—it’s about creating a life of freedom and purpose. It’s the freedom to spend more time with family, the flexibility to pursue passions, and the security to focus on what truly matters. We built this for people who want things like:

​

  • Creating generational wealth

  • More time for family, travel, and your passions

  • Freedom to work where and when you want

​

But achieving this vision requires more than following the crowd or settling for average returns. It means outperforming the market by becoming expert investors—leveraging data, strategies, and insights to make smarter, more impactful decisions.

​

Part of our why is also about disrupting the real estate coaching industry. Too many bad reputations, bad actors, and scam artists have tarnished the field, misleading aspiring investors and delivering empty promises. We’re committed to raising the standard by focusing on transparency, integrity, and results —helping others cut through the noise and access actionable insights that work.

​

As evidence of our commitment, we’ve given away thousands of hours of free education on Canada's #1 real estate podcast, The Canadian Real Estate Investor. We encourage you to listen to all of that first—gain a strong foundation of knowledge, ask questions, and align with your goals—before deciding to join us.

​

This isn’t about passive growth; it’s about active excellence. By mastering the fundamentals, innovating beyond the traditional playbook, and holding the industry to a higher standard, we aim to turn investments into opportunities—for financial freedom, meaningful connections, and a better future for everyone involved.

​

That’s our why. What’s yours?

Join the free community

Our mission to empower real estate investors isn’t just about sharing knowledge—it’s about building dynamic communities where people connect, collaborate, and thrive together.

​

We’ve created some of the fastest-growing real estate communities in Canada, with over 5,000 members on Meetup.com, where we host monthly free meetups to bring investors together for in-person learning and networking. On Skool, our online learning platform, 1,000+ active members participate in weekly free education sessions and market updates, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly changing market.

​

These communities are more than just groups—they’re ecosystems of support, insight, and opportunity. Whether you’re joining a meetup to build relationships or logging into Skool for the latest strategies, you’ll find the resources and people needed to help you achieve your real estate goals.

​

We’re not just growing communities—we’re creating a movement that’s transforming real estate investing in Canada.

Shelby, Alberta

Realist.ca was instrumental in helping me successfully develop my first 8-plex in Calgary. The consistent accountability check-ins and regular coaching sessions kept me focused, disciplined, and confident throughout the entire process. I genuinely don't think I could have achieved this milestone without their support. Realist.ca isn’t just education—it’s a true partner in your real estate journey.
