Let’s meet Carla

I’ve been in the homebuilding industry for almost 25 years. I built my first home in my early 20s and was fascinated by the process.

Before getting into the industry, I was that person who would tour new show homes as soon as they opened just to see how different builders approached design. That curiosity led me to reach out to homebuilders, and before I knew it, I was helping people find their new homes.

What are three fun facts about you?

I collect antique typewriters: usually with a fire crackling and baroque chamber music playing, I type out poems as they come—unedited, unpolished. No backspace, no do-overs—just raw thoughts stamped in ink, precisely as they were meant to be.

I have a collection of century-old china: pieces that have overheard a hundred years of conversations, celebrations, and whispered secrets. And against all advice, I put mine in the dishwasher.

I used to paint: I haven’t picked up a brush in years, but when I did, hours would slip by like minutes—usually painting ‘four-leggeds’!

WHAT Do First-Time Home Buyers Need to consider?

Always try to work backwards from your payment, instead of fixating on the price tag. Many first-time buyers—get fixated on a round number, like $500,000, without considering what that actually means for their budget. The difference between a $500,000 home and a $510,000 home might be just $25 bi-weekly.

If that slight difference gets you a home that truly fits your needs, it’s worth weighing. Instead of getting stuck on an arbitrary price cap, start with the monthly payment you’re comfortable with and work backwards to find the price range that makes sense.

WHat is it that makes cantiro special?

Cantiro focuses on people—When a company values and treats its people well, that mentality extends to the customer experience. A level of care and accountability runs through every part of Cantiro. The homebuyer ultimately benefits when all departments work together toward the same goal. Communication is smoother, the process is more seamless, and you don’t feel like just another transaction. That’s rare in this industry.

WHAT excites you most about the home-buying journey?

Buying a home can feel like information overload—too many options, opinions, and second-guessing. I like helping buyers cut through the noise and focus on what works for how they live. My goal is to take them from a place of stress and indecision to a place where the right choice is clear—without the frustration of feeling lost in the process.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE COMMUNITY AMENITY IN Élan?

Élan is a community designed for more than just living inside your home. With beautiful trails, ponds, and plenty of green space, it naturally pulls people outdoors—whether for a morning walk, an evening bike ride, or just unwinding on the porch. It’s a neighbourhood where people still wave to their neighbours and know their names.

Carla’s favourite Cantiro Model is the Entertain Vista

The Entertain Vista. It’s a home people aren’t going to find elsewhere. It has a lofty, open feel, with a main-floor living area flanked by two large window walls that bring incredible natural light. The covered deck is perfect for barbecuing on a rainy day. But beyond the design, it’s a home that makes an impression. When people have their friends and family over, they won’t know anyone else with a home like this. It’s just different—in the best way.
