“Taking people at face value is at best a show of trust and confidence. And at worst, a recipe for disaster. What happens when you ask them if they can do something and they say they can, although it turns out they can’t? If you’re talking to a window cleaner or a landscaping company the likelihood is, with respect to those who perform those functions, that there will be no great consequence. But if, for example, you hire and entrust a real estate professional to coordinate the sale of your biggest financial investment… if you choose poorly, the results can be catastrophic. The wrong choice can cost you time and money. So who are you really hiring?”

 As first time homebuyers we knew the importance of hiring a realtor and Mike came highly recommended. After our first meeting with Mike we knew he was the right fit for us as he detailed the home buying process and was patient with our questions. He truly took the time to get to know us and we knew he genuinely cared. Within a week from that initial meeting we were looking at homes and two days later we had found our dream home! We cannot express how enjoyable the process was with Mike as he was there for us every step of the way. We will be using Mike in the future and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

My wife and I had been thinking about eventually “downsizing” and talking about the Calgary condo market for several months, but not really seriously. I had been doing a little homework over the past year or so and keeping an eye on the market myself. When it started to look like the number of properties available was increasing significantly, and prices were dropping, we decided to get a little more serious and gave Mike a call. I think it was the best decision we’ve made in a long time! >>...Read More

Thank
you Mike for all your hard work, your patience and your professionalism!
I really appreciated the all the information on the past sales in
the area. After analyzing the data, I feel I have a good sense of
the value of the units and the differential between the 1 &
2 bedroom units - looks to be about 20-22,000. . I also very much
appreciated the effort to get the deal done as quickly as we did
to meet the month end deadline...
