The people behind Black Gold.

Jordan Bird

REALTOR® · Team Lead

Jordan Bird is a REALTOR® with LPT Realty and the team lead at Black Gold Real Estate, with 17 years serving clients in real estate. He is dual licensed in Alberta and Saskatchewan. He lists and sells on both the Alberta and Saskatchewan sides of Lloydminster, along with the surrounding towns and rural areas in both provinces.

Lloydminster is the only city in Canada built across a provincial border, and buyers here almost always guess wrong about what that means. It doesn't change your property tax bill or your children's school division — but it does change what you pay to close: title-transfer fees, PST on mortgage insurance, warranty rules on new builds. Knowing which costs actually follow the border, and which ones don't, is a large part of Jordan's job.

Whether it's a first home in Steele Heights or Larsen Grove, a move up to Parkview Estates or Aurora, or an acreage outside town, the work is the same: figure out what actually fits your life and your budget, then be honest about what each property is going to cost you after possession. On the selling side, pricing in a border city with an energy-driven economy is not guesswork, but it isn't a formula either — Lloydminster's market moves with the patch, with interest rates and with the season, and Jordan walks sellers through the comparables and the reasoning, not just a number.

Acreages and rural property bring their own questions — water, septic, road access, county versus municipality, and how financing differs on rural land. And for people relocating here for work in oil and gas, weighing rent against buying around a shift rotation, Jordan will tell you honestly when buying doesn't make sense yet.

Bryce Patterson

REALTOR® · LPT Realty

Bryce Patterson has called the Lloydminster area home for 30 years. In that time he's watched the region grow and change through the oil booms, the slower years, and everything in between. Real estate has interested him for as long as he can remember, and for most of those years he followed the local market closely: what homes were selling for, which neighbourhoods were taking off, and how the wider economy shaped what buyers and sellers here could expect.

Before real estate, Bryce worked in agricultural sales across Western Canada. He spent years building relationships with producers and businesses from Manitoba to British Columbia. That work taught him that a deal is really about trust, straight answers and following through. It also left him with a real understanding of the farming families and rural properties that make up so much of this area.

Today Bryce brings that experience to his clients at LPT Realty. He also works as a sales consultant in modular homes, so he can help clients weigh a new build alongside an existing property. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a family property, or looking at acreage outside town, Bryce offers local knowledge built over three decades and an honest read on the market.
