About Mariah Runions

MY PATH INTO REAL ESTATE

My real estate journey began in 2017 with the private sale of my own home in Fernie, BC. After selling quickly and for a great price, my husband gently nudged me toward what he already knew — this world fits me. I love people. I love marketing. I love organizing details. I even love a good Excel spreadsheet. Add my deep passion for Fernie and the Elk Valley, and real estate became a natural extension of who I already was.

Today, I proudly guide clients through buying and selling real estate in Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford, and the South Country, while still coaching soccer, teaching dance classes, and staying deeply involved in community life across the Elk Valley.

ENERGETIC REAL ESTATE

I practice what I lovingly call Energetic Real Estate — a heart-led, grounded, and strategic approach to buying and selling homes in the mountains.

Yes — I bring strong strategy, skilled negotiation, organized systems, and clear communication as a professional REALTOR®. But I also believe that people don’t just buy houses — they invest with their energy, intentions, and vision for the life they want to live.

I help clients:

  • Try on investment opportunities, not just “costs”

  • Tune into what kind of home truly matches their season of life

  • Consider not just square footage — but flow, safety, light, movement, and alignment

A home isn’t just an asset. It’s an environment that shapes your nervous system, relationships, and future.

This is why my real estate work blends:

  • Strategy + intuition

  • Logic + embodiment

  • Numbers + nervous system

  • Contracts + connection

Some clients come strictly for the business side of buying or selling real estate in Fernie and the surrounding area. Others love exploring the energetics of a home through things like address numerology, natural light, layout flow, and lifestyle alignment. There’s no one right way — only your way.

DANCE, MOVEMENT & EMBODIMENT

Dance has been woven into my entire life. I opened my first dance studio in 2005 and have since crossed paths with thousands of children and families across the Elk Valley. Through all of it, I’ve learned something powerful:
Movement changes people.

I continue to teach because dance fills my own bucket — and because embodiment is the foundation of confidence, expression, and joy. It also happens to translate beautifully into how I show homes, celebrate clients, and move through life as a Fernie Realtor.

If you ever see me dance through a listing video — just know, I’m checking the flow. 😉

WOMEN, HEALING & COMMUNITY

Alongside real estate and dance, I also facilitate women’s gatherings focused on healing, reconnection, embodiment, and intention. This work deeply informs how I support my real estate clients — especially women stepping into new chapters after change, loss, growth, or transition.

I know from lived experience that safe, stable environments change lives. And I’m passionate about helping people choose homes — and lives — that truly reflect their worth.

MY MANIFESTO

I believe:

  • Home is sacred.

  • Investment is an exchange of money, time, energy, and intention.

  • Professionalism can be warm, embodied, and joyful.

  • You don’t have to choose between being powerful and being playful.

  • Healing and ambition can coexist.

  • Real estate can feel grounded, expansive, and even fun.

People don’t just invest in property.
They invest in people. In trust. In energy. In vision.

And I take that responsibility to heart.
