Alberta Acreages & Rural Real Estate: Work With a Licensed Agent Who Lives the Life
Acreage life isn’t just a dream—it’s a lifestyle choice. It’s space to breathe, land to grow on, and the freedom to build a life on your terms. For many Calgarians, the appeal of rural living has never been stronger.
But buying or selling rural property comes with a unique set of challenges. That’s where Jenn Allen comes in.
Jenn isn’t just a licensed rural real estate agent—she lives the acreage lifestyle herself. Based east of Airdrie, she and her family enjoy the kind of life her clients are looking for: wide open space, chickens in the yard, pets roaming freely, and evenings spent under big Alberta skies.
She knows firsthand what matters when you make the move out of the city: what to look for in a well, how to assess septic systems, fencing and access, snow removal, zoning regulations, and even how the seasons affect land use and maintenance. That’s the kind of insight you can’t fake.
With over six years of experience helping families transition between city homes and rural properties, Jenn offers the best of both worlds. Her knowledge of Calgary’s market helps buyers understand resale value, while her rural license allows her to expertly guide clients through acreage-specific details most city agents simply don’t know.

The Difference Between a Residential and Rural-Licensed Agent in Alberta

Not every real estate licence covers the same ground—literally. In Alberta, a residential-licensed agent can handle city and suburban homes, condos, and typical residential transactions. But when you step outside city limits into farmland, acreages, or properties with wells, septic systems, or agricultural zoning, that’s the domain of a rural-licensed agent. Rural agents are trained specifically in the complexities of non-urban properties—water systems, soil use, fencing, access rights, and county bylaws—areas most city agents only encounter in theory.
Working with a rural-licensed professional isn’t just a box to check—it’s risk management. These agents know what inspections are needed, how to read land titles that include easements or grazing leases, and how to evaluate access roads and services. In short, a rural licence means your agent can legally and knowledgeably navigate the kind of land deal that could overwhelm a regular residential agent.
