Who leads this place, and what she believes

I started in real estate in 1993. Since then I’ve been a broker, a provincial broker for six CENTURY 21 offices, and the owner of this property management brokerage, Envision Real Estate Services. I’m Past President of Real Property Management Canada, and I also sit on boards tied to our industry, including the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission and Rental Housing Canada.

For you, that means you’ll learn this business beside someone who has seen it from many sides.

My passion is helping people through their housing journey. It can start with a rental and lead to buying, selling or investing. With my experience, background and network, I can help someone wherever they are on that path.

Here’s what I believe about the people I hire:

• Character and how fast you learn matter more to me than years on a résumé.
• I hand work off and check in. I’d rather you bring me a problem with a proposed solution than wait for me to find the problem.
• The people who work here become very important to me. They’re our work family.

I’m looking for people who put customer service first, who enjoy the housing industry, and who want to be part of a team making a real difference in property management here in Saskatoon.

The people you’d work beside

From the outside, property management looks like separate jobs: accounting, leasing, resident care, compliance, the front desk. Inside Envision, they’re one team. Each person owns a piece of how residents and investors experience us.

Ashleigh Tichkowsky

Chief Operating Officer. She started where you might be starting.

Ten years ago, Ashleigh was in a very part-time administrative role. She worked her way up through almost every position in the company, and today she’s our COO.

She knows this business inside and out because she’s done most of the jobs in it. In 2025, she was named the Rental Housing Offsite Employee of the Year for Saskatchewan.

Everyone on the team reports up through Ashleigh. When you ask a question, the answer comes from someone who has sat in a lot of the chairs here.

The team around her: property accounting, resident experience and compliance, leasing and investor experience, and the front desk. It’s a lean team, so your work shows up where people can see it.

What we believe, and what it looks like in a workday

We treat every resident, investor, developer and partner the way we’d want our own family treated. We tell the truth early, including the hard parts. And we hold the line the law asks of us, with care for the person on the other side of the conversation.

Our six core values

• Ambassadorship. We act as dedicated ambassadors for residents and investors, advocating for their best interests, and we build trust through transparency and reliability. In your workday, you’ll represent Envision to residents, investors and the Saskatoon community, and you’ll learn to speak up for them while staying inside the rules.
• Excellence. We hold the highest standards in property management, for investors and residents alike. In your workday, your work gets checked against The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 and The Real Estate Act. You do the first check yourself, before it leaves your desk.
• Innovation. We use forward-thinking solutions and technology to simplify processes and improve experiences. In your workday, you’ll work in Rentvine, Notion, Aptly and Property Meld, and you’ll be expected to test better ways, including with AI.
• Community & Collaboration. We connect residents and investors with the resources they need, and we work alongside our community. We partner with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), and Rental Housing Saskatchewan named us its Community Impact Award winner in 2024 and again in 2025.
• Customer-Centricity. Residents and investors both sit at the centre, with equal weight. The first inquiry email and the difficult conversation get the same care.
• Forward Vision. We help people see past today, whether that’s a resident moving from renting toward buying or an investor planning the next property. We report on-time rent through FrontLobby, so residents build credit by paying rent.

The 12 things we look for and coach toward

These aren’t a poster. They’re what we look at in every conversation.

1. Self-Motivated Solution-Finder. Sees a problem, brings at least one proposed fix, and acts without being pushed.
2. Ownership. Takes a task or issue all the way to closed, says so when they miss, and notices when a teammate is stretched and steps in.
3. Impactful. Measures their work by the difference it makes, and finishes what moves that forward.
4. Trustworthy. Tells the truth early, including bad news, and keeps resident and investor information private.
5. Calm Under Pressure. Stays steady and organized when the day gets loud.
6. Responsive and Clear. Acknowledges every message, says when to expect the answer, and keeps it short and plain.
7. Listener. Hears the whole situation before responding.
8. Empathetic but Firm. Cares about the person and still holds the line under The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
9. Warm and Professional. Shows up friendly and upbeat, in a tone that fits each client.
10. Detail-Oriented. Checks their own work against the Act and records it the same day.
11. Learner and Improver. Takes feedback without defending, and tests a better way, including with technology and AI.
12. Relationship Builder. Builds trust that outlasts one lease or one transaction.

The work you’d be part of

Most property managers fill the home and move on to the next one. We’re trying something harder: staying with people from their first rental to whatever comes next.

Here’s what that means for the person in your seat:

• Make a rental feel like home for a resident who is in the middle of a hard transition and needs a place to land.
• Help an investor see the next stretch clearly, so they can make the next decision with clarity.
• Help shape how a small team uses AI, so repetitive work disappears and the human work grows. That human work is what we hire for.

We’re building this now, not describing it from a distance. In June 2025, we rebranded from Real Property Management Professionals to Envision Real Estate Services, with one focus: single-family rental housing in Saskatchewan. We launched a new website, moved to a new platform, and built AI-driven lead workflows. If you join us, your ideas can become the way we work.

Where you can go

Ashleigh’s road is the clearest proof we have. It started at a part-time desk and led to the COO’s chair, and she did it inside this company.

We’re lean, so there aren’t fifteen rungs. There are fewer, and your work is visible to the people who decide what comes next.

Envision is a licensed brokerage under The Real Estate Act, with a professional development pathway built into the work. If you hold a licence or want to earn one, you’d be learning inside a brokerage that takes that seriously.

What you’d learn and who you’d become

• The rules, in practice. You’d learn The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 and The Real Estate Act by applying them, with teammates who’ll review your work and coach you. You won’t learn them by getting burned.
• AI, as a working skill. Carla completed a certification in Generative and Agentic AI through the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in May 2026. The team is adopting AI tools together, and AI training is part of how we develop people.
• Feedback you can use. We give it quickly and plainly, and we expect you to ask for it.
• The whole business. In a lean team, you see how accounting, leasing, resident care and compliance connect. Ashleigh did.

Will this job still be here in three years?

That’s a fair question, and AI makes it sharper. Here’s the honest answer.

• We use AI and automation to take repetitive work off people. The goal is more time for work that needs a person.
• We add people when AI has gone as far as it can and a human-led gap is clear. When we hire, it’s because we need you.
• Envision has operated since 2016, under a previous name until June 2025. It’s led by a broker with 30+ years in Saskatchewan real estate.
• We do one thing: single-family residential rental management in Saskatoon. We don’t manage condo corporations, commercial, multi-family or short-term rentals, so we know our market deeply.

We can’t promise a future that depends on the market. We can tell you what we know, early. That’s part of how we work.

This isn’t for you if…

• You’d rather be told what to do next than work out the next step yourself.
• You wait for a problem to be handed over with the fix attached. We ask you to bring one.
• You’d rather not deliver hard news to a resident or an investor. We tell the truth early.
• You see the rules as obstacles. The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 shapes the work, and we hold the line with care.
• You want a big department to work inside. We’re a small team where your work is seen.
• You’d rather leave AI for someone else to learn.
• You’re choosing mostly on the paycheck. We pay competitively, but pay isn’t the main thing we offer.

If this list sounds like you, that’s useful to know. If it sounds like someone you’d want beside you, read on.

What you get

• Weekday hours. Most of our roles run Monday to Friday, about 8:30 to 4:30 or 9 to 5. Very few carry after-hours or on-call expectations, so your evenings and weekends are mostly yours.
• An in-person workplace in Saskatoon. You’d work on-site with free parking and a business casual dress code.
• Group health benefits and paid holidays.
• Professional development, planned with you, including AI training. The skills you build stay useful wherever the industry goes.
• Tools that carry the busywork, so your day goes to the people and problems that need you.
• Work that makes a difference to people, from a resident finding a place to land to an investor making a clear decision.

Compensation, last on purpose. We pay competitively: a salary plus bonuses. We’d rather walk you through the specifics in conversation, once we know what you want to build here.
