About Jen
Your Niagara Region Real Estate Expert

Friendly Neighbourhood Realtor
Born & Raised in Niagara
​
When it comes to real estate, I bring more than experience - I bring heart, hustle, and a deep-rooted love for the Niagara Region. Born and raised here, I know this place like the back of my hand (or maybe even better - I don’t get lost in Niagara, but I do sometimes lose my keys, phone... and wallet).
​
Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or just exploring your options, I’m here to make the process smooth, honest, and, dare I say - fun. I believe in real talk, not sales talk. That means pricing homes realistically, offering honest advice every step of the way, and tailoring my services to your unique goals.
​
Selling?
I’ll craft a custom marketing plan that shows your home in its best light.
Buying?
I’ll help you find a place that checks all the boxes - and maybe even some you didn’t know you had.
Got kids or pets?
I know what that means when it comes to choosing the perfect home.
New to the area?
I’ll show you the hidden gems only a local would know.
My work is guided by values: integrity, transparency, experience, and a commitment to client-first service. I’m proud to serve the community I love, and I’m never more than a call or text away.
Oh, and if you’re a fan of food, animals, cracking jokes, or randomly breaking into song and dance, while house hunting, we’re going to get along just fine.

Quick Q&A with Jen Bedard
​
Q: If you weren’t a Realtor or Private Investigator what would you be doing?
A: Honestly? Probably something that mixes adventure, travel, and helping people and animals. Maybe hosting a true crime travel show or running a cat and dog rescue. (Plot twist: I might still do these one day.)
Q: What’s your go-to way to de-stress?
A: Lacing up for ball hockey or beach volleyball (yes, even when it’s freezing), cuddling with my cats, or heading out for a long scenic drive with a good playlist and no real destination.
Q: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
A: “Don’t let other people write your story.” It’s helped me block out the noise, stay true to myself, and build a life I’m proud of - on my terms.
​
Q: What’s your guilty pleasure?
A: Writing quirky stories, falling down the occasional conspiracy theory rabbit hole, and coming up with wild ideas that usually start with, “Okay, hear me out…” - all while wrapped in a blanket burrito with a cat on my lap.
Q: Describe your perfect Saturday.
A: A morning coffee from 416 Coffee, hitting a local market or trail with my family, showing a dream home to a client who just “feels it,” then ending the day with a backyard BBQ and some laughs with the people I love.
​​
Q: What’s your superpower in real estate?
A: Reading people and situations. I’ve got a sixth sense when it comes to spotting red flags in houses - and in deals. That, and I can wrangle paperwork and emotions like a seasoned goalie facing a shootout.
