From the moment I first thought of coming to Edmonton, Usheda was there guiding me through the whole process. I bought a condo that she had personally updated and that I'd first seen online. I did settle on that first one I chose, but there were others, and she helped steer me clear of a few more questionable properties. I'm happy with my place and with the work she did for me.

We had no idea where to start when we decided to sell our condo in Edmonton, and we were fortunate enough to meet Usheda while she was showing a property at the same unit. She immediately began guiding us through the process, and was very patient and friendly throughout. From checking in with us regularly to keep us updated, to providing reports and feedback from showings, she always kept us in the loop. As we were selling the condo while living out of town, Usheda's willingness to recommend and connect us with local contractors for some necessary upgrades/repair work, as well as an attorney to handle the sale, was invaluable. Her knowledge, hard work and dedication made her a pleasure to deal with, and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I have had the opportunity to buy a property in Edmonton through Usheda's help. ! Without any doubt, Usheda is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal during our time in Edmonton. She's showed us a number of homes for weeks, until we finalized one, and she was able to influence the deal with the seller's realtor in our favour. She's followed up every part of the transactions from bidding, purchase to handover. I would recommend her to any buyer or seller looking to get their hands on a property, due to her reach, knowledge, experience and great negotiating skills that are essential during the buying process.

About Usheda Akbar-Shanks
I started out as an Area Sales Manager for high-end Custom Homes in Edmonton SW. Home builders included Vicky's Homes, Augusta Fine Homes by Qualico and Acropolis Homes. In this capacity I have assisted clients from the initial show home walkthrough, architectural planning/drawings, estimating, lot purchase, interior & exterior selections, walk throughs at different stages and the final sale and possession.I joined RE/MAX Excellence in 2022 as a residential realtor and subsequently obtained my Commercial designation. With an innate interest in Aesthetics (higher Art forms), business, client management and sales, I have struck a balance in my career. I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients and incorporate personalized service with the utmost care and due diligence that the real estate profession requires.
My published work includes Renovations Magazine and The Home Buyer's Guide. I also periodically write useful articles in blogs.
I enjoy getting away from the crowds in summer and visiting small towns and interesting historic sites around the Edmonton area. Elk Island National Park, Banff, Canmore & Jasper are also favourite places to go. Other interests are Classical music, Art History/Fine Arts, Interior design/Architecture, Aesthetics & Gardening among other things!
