In this episode, we sit down with Jillian McKinnon, a Kamloops real estate professional whose path into the industry began in healthcare. Before joining Stonehaus Realty, Jillian built her career in nursing — a background that shaped her approach to serving people with compassion, patience, and professionalism. Even while building momentum in real estate, she continues to dedicate time helping out at the hospital, staying connected to the work and community that first inspired her passion for helping others.
We talk about the transition from nursing to real estate, the challenges of stepping into a completely different industry, and how the skills developed in healthcare continue to influence the way Jillian works with clients today. From communication and trust to staying calm under pressure, her experience has helped create a people-first approach to real estate that clients genuinely connect with.
Jillian also shares how mentorship, culture, and support at Stonehaus Realty helped give her confidence early in her career, allowing her to find success while staying true to who she is.
From personal growth and career change to service, resilience, and community, this episode offers an inspiring conversation about building a meaningful career while continuing to make an impact both inside and outside of real estate.
