Real estate agent Cgy Airdrie
Does anyone have recommendations for a good real estate agent in the Calgary/Airdrie area?

A fellow name Jason Streich is fantastic! He has been a client of my business forever and I used him for selling my home in Airdire. His team are really attentive and on the ball whether buying or selling and would not hesitate to recommend him. I consider myself to be quite savvy when it comes to negotiation and preparation etc, and he came in, made a few recommendations and set me up with some pros and I am certain I made a good 15K more than I would have otherwise. I have referred people to him before for both buying and selling and every single one was more than pleased!
I do not recommend people easily because I am kind of tough to please and do not suffer fools easily, and zero hesitation about suggesting you contact him.

When we were selling our place in Calgary, we interviewed half a dozen real estate agents. All of them were happy to take the listing, only one was willing to do some work to make the sale happen. I don't know if she covers Airdrie or not, but give Sam Crick a call.

When we sold our place in Calgary we used Tom Sherry at Done Right Realty.. We have sold a great many houses personally, more than 20, over the years and even more residential and commercial investment properties. I also dealt witha great many realtors in my daily business. Tom was the single best realtor I ever dealt with.

If selling why not do it yourself?
Not too difficult and you can save a boat load of cash too.
Might be worth checking out.

I’ve done both, honestly you really limit your buyers from what I’ve seen. So many people are uncomfortable buying a home privately, even though everything still goes through lawyers. Land is different, but a home is harder. Lots of low ballers that want to save the full commission on their end. If the market is hot, or it’s something you enjoy have at it. A good realtor is well worth it in my opinion. I can not recommend who as I’m not from the area.

True, you gotta be comfortable, do your homework accordingly to market value etc and go from there.
The only time I used a realtor was when the realtors fee’s were paid by my employer. Other than that we did it on our own.

There are realtors, then there are realtors that know people in the industry and have contacts. I used one that worked realty on the side, but, worked for a propety managnement company and had contacts ready and willing to buy, no fuss, no muss, sold in 12hrs, did better than I thought I would on it.

She went through the house and yard pointing out all the areas that needed work to show better (her doing "some work" made a lot of work for me ). Some of it we knew but some of it we wouldn't have thought of. Even when asked directly for that kind of input, the other realtors just sat there with a blank (but pleasant) look.
She also helped stage the place to show. She provided furniture for rooms that we had already emptied.

Spot on. Tom Sherry sent a professional stager to stage the house, a couple of beefy guys to move stuff around for my wife, a guy to do the yard work for a couple of weeks becuase we were out of town, as well as a proffessional photograrpher to take stills and a high quality video for the online marketing. The house had 4 full price offers and sold well overr ask within 24 hours of the listing being released. There are very few realtors that put even half that amount of work into a listing and his commission structure is the same as all the others.

The glossy brochure they put together was beautiful... after looking at it I told my wife we should buy the place.

Give Colin a call, you won't be disappointed... He knows the city very well, and has listings of his own.

Got to figure that the agent who goes above and beyond selling will do the same for a buyer. It is the same skill set. You are looking for someone who cares as much or more about the client as lining their own pockets.

Sorry to play devils advocate on All realtors. None of them earn their fees of 7%/3%. Paying someone $23,000 to list your home on a data base and then fill out a few forms borders on insanity. The Americans just cleaned up their industry in last few months no longer allowing set rates. Many countries only have 1-2% costs to sell a home.

principal or investment?
Any Realtor can set you up with market reports, with recent sales being a key metric. Do you have a preferred area? Scan the MLS to see who is listing more properties in that area. They know the local market/inventory.
In my last sale, I invited four Realtors to present, one came in at 500k, two came in at 600k, and the Realtor who lived down the block came in at 675k, and had a sale in two weeks. The others couldn't grasp the concept, yet were industry 'professionals'.
Whenever I relocate, I typically rent for the short term, to make sure it's what I really want, and to evaluate the market before committing. Hear lots of stories around the 'we made a mistake' theme.

SMH at all the responses that didn't answer the OP's question...
Are these the same guys recommending a fella buy a lathe and learn a trade, when all he's looking for is a good gunsmith ?

Does anyone have recommendations for an agent that is a third party service provider registered with BGRS?

Following FishOutofWater's suggestion, I contacted Colin Graham.
I highly recommend Colin to anyone looking for a very knowledgeable real estate agent.
Super hard working and patient with all of my dumb questions.
He put in some looooong hours helping us find our new house in Airdrie.
