About Tessa

Hard work.
Honest advice.
Real results.

Tessa grew up on a generational farm in Alberta. She didn’t grow up learning to talk about hard work — she grew up doing it. That’s still how she operates today, for every single client. She moved to Calgary in 2007, fulfilling a long-held dream, earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, and spent years in data analytics at Safeway Canada’s corporate headquarters. She understands numbers — and she uses that understanding to price homes correctly and negotiate from strength. As a second-generation realtor, co-founder of Blair & Co. Advertising, and a Sotheby’s International Realty professional, she brings something most agents can’t offer: the full package. Strategy, marketing, community knowledge, and genuine care for the people she works with.

HER STORY

From the farm to the lake. Her kind of life.

Growing up on a farm in Alberta taught Tessa that the work either gets done or it doesn’t. There’s no in-between. That ethic followed her through university, through her analytics career at Safeway, and into real estate. When she found Lake Bonavista she stopped looking. The lake, the schools, the community — it was everything she’d been searching for. She’s been a resident since 2012 and she’s raised her kids on the water. She isn’t just selling the lifestyle. She’s living it. Her husband Steve co-founded Blair & Co., a boutique advertising agency that specialises in real estate marketing. When Tessa lists your home, she brings 25 years of real estate marketing expertise to the campaign. That’s not something you find at most agencies.

HER STORY

The Sotheby's name opens doors. Tessa gets you through them.

Most people assume Sotheby’s is for the $3M+ market. Tessa has spent her career proving otherwise. You get the white-glove experience, the global marketing reach, and the trusted brand at any price point. That’s not a pitch. It’s the reality of what working with a Sotheby’s agent actually means when that agent also picks up the phone, tells you the truth, and works harder than anyone else in the room.
Tessa Blair doesn’t just show up—she delivers. Relentless work ethic, sharp marketing instincts, and a client-first attitude make her an absolute asset. Selling our rural property was seamless and surprisingly fast thanks to her strategic approach and tireless commitment to getting results.

Corporate O & G Seller

We were referred to Tessa in Fall 2025 to help us sell and buy another home. She was absolutely outstanding! Having used other realtors in the past, we were blown away by her commitment and determination. Very professional, honest and involved. We were in good hands from start to finish, always feeling supported and listened to.Our house sold in less time than comps in the area for more than I expected we could get.Selling and buying is so stressful but Tessa was there with us every step of the way!!We cannot thank her enough!!

Happy in Our New Home - Buyer & Seller

You will be so glad you hired Tessa Blair! She is great to work with and is a workhorse with a ton of marketing expertise! She came recommended to me by a friend, and I’m so happy to have worked with her on the sale of my home. Tessa is an exceptionally responsive professional. She was either immediately available or got back to me right away. That alone was so impressive! Right from the beginning, when I was interviewing realtors, she stood out as someone who did a lot of research and was willing to put in a lot of work. That is why I initially chose her, and boy, did she ever come through! She gave me excellent and precise advice on how to present my home for sale. She took the time to do in-depth research on pricing, and she therefore priced my home super effectively. Not too high, not too low. When it came time to list, she personally helped to clean the house, to fix things and even brought her own flowers to put outside! Her work was the definition of “above and beyond”. As a result (when other surrounding homes were sitting on the market facing the need to reduce their price), we had a lot of immediate interest and we ended up selling in 3 days over list! Thanks, Tessa!

We didn’t think we could afford the Sotheby’s experience. Tessa showed us we were wrong — and then she found us the house we didn’t even know we were looking for.
