Machado Vanderzand Collective

Two years in, it feels really special to look back at what this has become.

We love the team we get to work with. We are so grateful for Rebecca, Rebekah, and Jennifer, and the way they have helped shape MV into what it is today.

We love the conversations that have come from ElevateHER, and the women who have continued to show up, share, learn, and make those lunches feel so worthwhile.

Moving to Real Brokerage has opened up new relationships, new support, and new energy around where MV is headed next.

And Real Estate After Dark has been a huge part of this year already. We have spent so much of 2026 planning, dreaming, and building something we are really excited to bring to Waterloo Region this September.

The last two years have been full of growth, change, support, big ideas, and a lot of moments that have reminded us why we started this in the first place.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of MV, worked with us, attended something, encouraged us, or cheered this on along the way.

We are really proud of this.
Cheers to 2 years of MV Collective.

The biggest takeaway from the June market stats is that Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge did not all move the same way. Price point, property type, condition, and location all played a role.

If you are buying or selling, the headline numbers only tell part of the story. The part that matters most is what is happening in your specific market.

And a good hair day, obviously.

We hope your Monday goes smoothly, your clients listen the first time, and nothing wildly unnecessary gets added to your plate before lunch.

At Machado Vanderzand Collective, we are an all female team of Realtors building strong businesses, selling houses, taking care of our clients, and supporting each other through the chaos.

If you have been looking for a team in Waterloo Region where you can grow, be supported, and still build your own name, we would love to chat!

Not every sale follows the original plan, and that’s exactly why strategy matters.

This one challenged us. As the market shifted, we adapted by refreshing our marketing, updating the photography, and adjusting our approach to ensure the home continued to stand out. Offer day didn’t bring the results we hoped for, but we stayed patient and kept working.

Just 12 hours later, the right buyer came along. Even better, we had the opportunity to work with an agent who was collaborative, communicative, and focused on getting the deal across the finish line. Together, we reached an agreement that made sense for everyone involved.

A successful sale isn’t always about getting multiple offers on offer day. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to pivot, staying committed to the process, and never giving up on your clients.

Congratulations to our sellers on this next chapter!

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Living, working, raising families, and building a business here gives us a lot to appreciate. From busy cities and quieter towns to local events, beautiful places, and the people who make each community what it is, we feel pretty lucky to build our lives here.

We would say get outside and enjoy it, but Canada has apparently decided to celebrate by turning the temperature all the way up. Stay cool, have fun, and enjoy the day.

Happy Canada Day from the Machado Vanderzand Collective!
