APRIL STURKO
RYAN MCDONALD
April Sturko grew up in a small town - no - really small, there were no street lights, that kind of small. But from that starting point in Elk Point AB, she’s developed a fascinating and successful career. April moved to Edmonton in 2004 to attend the University of Alberta, earning a degree that set her on the path to a whole new life. Transformed by her new location into a city girl, a change that she’s more than happy with, April now has a full, eclectic and fun day-to-day. She balances her busy professional schedule with being a mom to a smart and funny 6 year old. Family is her passion and her son gives her purpose, direction and drive. A lover of outdoors, April can often be found out on an adventure where she will make a b-line for any dog she sees. Aprils professional career began in 2011 selling new homes : after building her own house she was hooked and her passion for real estate was ignited. 10 years later she hasn’t looked back. April is relatable, friendly and fun - she puts her clients at ease while she works her magic and get great results.
Ryan McDonald is a passionate and committed Real Estate agent. Raised in Sherwood Park, he’s built a life of love, laughter and adventure. Husband to Alexandra and father to little Rockwell, the family is completed by pet dog, Minnie. Ryan is one of life’s natural competitors; he would even call it an obsession with winning. Naturally upbeat and adventurous, Ryan has tackled all number of activities along side his busy professional schedule. Rock climbing, golf, travel and....all things Disney! Yes, Ryan has a softer side that often surprises people, given his competitive streak. Ryan keeps fit, eats healthy and leads a lifestyle that keeps him right at the top of his game. Part of wanting to be the very best he can be leads him to do things a little differently. That willingness to think out side of the box and go the extra mile has meant a career full of professional success. Ryan has been a Realtor for over a decade and, in 2019, was recognised as the Realtor of the year. Beat that!
What People Are Saying
April is amazing! We were referred to her and her attention to detail, thoughtful communication, and patiences with us through the home buying process was exceptional. We had a short time frame to find a home and were able to find a house, now home, that we love seamlessly and without stress.
Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise April!

"My wife and I really enjoy Ryan's style, he actively listens, does a thorough market analysis and understands our requirements. Ryan has been nothing but professional when dealing with our house purchase, so much so we have told everyone who our agent was and how pleased we are with the service we have received. My wife and I had the opportunity to deal with another of his staff, Erin and she was just as professional as Ryan. Great job! My wife and I had previously dealt with Ryan on another house and he understands our wishes, something we both like in an Agent.”

"I would recommend Ryan McDonald for many reasons. I felt like Ryan made our family a priority with the sale and buying of a new home. He was very professional and knew the market well in Sherwood park. I loved that his photos and virtual tour were professionally done. This does make a difference in the marketing of your home. Ryan was fun to be around and he always made the time to help us out. Thank you for all you did!”

“From my first contact with April she was open and kind. I didn’t feel I was dealing with ‘an agent’ but rather a good friend. Throughout the home seeking process she was accommodating, patient, and super helpful. I always felt like she was as excited as I was about my big purchase, and as determined as I was for me to find the right home for me. And she delivered in spades! This home was built in 1952, but it’s been waiting all these years for me. April’s skill in connecting a heart with a home can’t be taught in any real estate course. I can’t recommend her enough!”
