RE/MAX First is the #1 RE/MAX® Brokerage Worldwide (2019 Sales)


The A-Team was founded by Tom & Breanna and is still owned and operated by them. Tom & Breanna have sold 538 Fort McMurray homes (& counting) and have overseen agents selling hundreds more.

Our Values

Breanna(left) and Tom(right), posing.

Moving is much more than a transaction. You can count on your experience with us to embody our values:

Being Honest

Whether buying or selling, you want to be sure you’re making the right move. Sometimes this means price advice that’s hard to hear, and rates we can’t control. Sometimes it means not moving at all! Whatever it is, we don’t sugarcoat. You’ll know what we know.

Working Hard

Need to see that dream home late on Saturday? We’ll be there. Real estate is tough, especially in our current market. But that’s not something a little spit and grit can’t handle. You can rest easy knowing we aren’t holding anything back during your move.

Being Kind

No matter the situation, it’s important to uphold the golden rule. Our relationship with you is built to last much longer than a transaction, so we bring our best selves.

Information is Freedom

As you can see in our resources section, we don’t hide anything behind contracts or email opt-in forms. Our duty as agents is to share our wealth of knowledge of the market with you.

Driving Industry Innovation

From sophisticated Facebook campaigns to eye-catching twilight photos, we’ve been at the forefront of changes in the real estate world, and will continue to do so as more exciting technologies pop up.

I'd Like to talk about a home!

How it all Started

Tom Albrect's Business Card from the beginning of his career

Phase 1: Tom Falls Flat on His Face

It was 2012 and homes were supposed to sell themselves!

We dug out Tom’s old business card so you can see his shortcomings. You see, no matter how hard he tried (and try he did!), he couldn’t sell homes. He tried everything, and almost nothing worked.

People responded well to his honesty, and he built up a happy group of buyer clients who continue to refer him to their close friends.

However well he did helping buyers, though, his ineptitude at helping them sell was a serious gap.

Trying to help both sellers and buyers was a problem for Tom.

Phase 2: Breanna Saves the Day

After a year or so of learning the ropes, Tom went on a routine trip to Calgary that ended up planting the seeds for what would become The A-Team.

Breanna was sitting on a fence, eating a candy apple, when Tom asked for a bite… and they fell in love, got married and are living happily ever after.

Breanna had an amazing position at Imperial Oil which she gave up so she could obtain her real estate licence and move to Fort McMurray. They bought a house, and on April 10th, 2014, they launched their husband and wife team.

Two months later, the oil price began falling.

Phase 3: “You and Me Vs. the World”

The early days were pretty “cowboy”: On the marketing side, Tom & Breanna were some of the first agents in Canada to start using a drone for aerial photography/videography. Enjoy their cheesy first production here.

They came up with some principles to follow when designing how to best help people, and they split the work up.

That became the secret of the A-Team’s future success: recognizing that buying and selling were two completely different real estate experiences, which, in turn, meant the two roles should be split.

Tom’s Master’s in Economics from the University of Oxford, along with Breanna’s Degree in Finance, allowed them to make their buyer and seller clients aware of the seriousness of the oil price collapse on the local real estate market.

Going to most of their appointments together, Breanna and Tom, totally in love, tried to bring smiles and some level of comfort to their clients, despite the tough news they had the responsibility of delivering.

The A-Team Today

The A-Team remains faithful to its early principles, the idea of specialization, and is obsessed with creating mind-blowing client experiences. Team members wake up every morning with the goal of delivering service far beyond your expectations, whether your goal is to sell your home for top dollar, in ANY market, or to find your dream home and secure it for the lowest possible price. That’s what we mean when we say: Bringing Our “A” Game. Every Day.

Living in Hope

I’ve heard people criticise others for having false hope. While we mustn’t be naïve about present realities, I believe in the phrase ‘this too shall pass’.  I’m speaking primarily about the current economic climate and the downturn in real estate values. Last year’s fire was a traumatic event and it
