Welcome to my Website

My name is Kelly Lantz and I am a full time Realtor in Charlottetown, PEI.  I began working in the real estate industry in 2004 with my mother in law Charlotte Lantz..  Charlotte recently retired, and I am very grateful for her guidance over the past few years, and thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

We believe in matching the right homes with the right people, and taking the time to get the "right fit". 

Education

I graduated from the University of Prince Edward Island with a Bachelor of Arts.   I completed the Business Admin program at  Algonquin College in Ottawa, On.  I have completed a number of correspondence PR courses from Mount Saint Vincent,  Halifax, NS.  I have continued with many online learning courses and real estate specific educational programs since becoming a Realtor.

Provincial Taxation of "Residents" vs "Non-Residents"

When selling to Non-Residents of PEI (a Non Resident is defined under Section 5 of the Real Property Tax Act as someone who has NOT lived on PEI for 183 consecutive days), Members should be aware that the provincial taxation rate will be approximately 50% more than "Residents", that is, someone who has resided here the requisite 183 Consecutive days.

This taxation rate for "Non-Resident" status continues if the party does not meet the above requirement. If the party, once they move here, has resided here for 183 consecutive days and can prove it, they can apply for the Provincial Tax Credit which reduces their assessment rate to that of "Resident". This credit is NOT retroactive. It takes effect only from the time of change of residency status and must be applied for using the form here: Provincial Taxation of "Residents" vs "Non-Residents"
