A local guide for lake & rural property
Cathren Dorchester is a full-time REALTOR® with Royal LePage® Parkland Agencies, focused on the people and places of Pigeon Lake, Wetaskiwin County, and central Alberta — where she’s helped buyers and sellers for the past nine years.
Her approach is calm, practical, and honest — built around understanding what makes each property and each community different, and helping buyers and sellers make good decisions without the pressure.
Cathren’s roots run deep in this part of Alberta. Born in Ponoka, she’s part of the Dorchester family — tied to the Wetaskiwin and Pigeon Lake area for generations, known for chuckwagon racing and the family’s Dorchester Ranch Golf Course just south of the lake. For Cathren, the lake, the land, and the people here aren’t a market — they’re home.
Before real estate, Cathren spent much of her career in healthcare — work that shaped how she looks after people: patient, caring, and genuinely in your corner. She brings that same steady, people-first care to every client, whether it’s a first cottage, a family acreage, or a farm that’s been in the family for generations.

What clients say
Kind words from people who have worked with Cathren.
“We have sold many properties and Cathren, without a doubt, was the most professional and honest realtor we ever dealt with. She sold our last two properties for list price and in record time! She found us a beautiful home in Leduc in 2019, which she sold for us in an incredibly volatile market in January 2021. We have since relocated to Vancouver Island and our only regret was that we couldn’t have her represent us here. We not only consider her our realtor, but our friend. Best of luck, Cathren.”
“We highly recommend Cathren as a realtor. She was very courteous, competent, and worked very hard for us — more than any realtor I’ve previously dealt with. I highly recommend her.”
“Cathren Dorchester of Royal LePage Agencies is one of the best agents we have ever worked with. She is very professional, goes beyond expectations and gets things done. You are very lucky to have her represent your team. Thank you so much, Cathren!”
