Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a pre-approval before I can shop?

Imagine finding your perfect home, putting in an offer, and then having to let it go because it’s over your budget. We always get our clients pre-approved before we shop — no broken hearts in our club!

What market area do you sell/buy homes in?

We focus on Airdrie, Cochrane, and of course, Calgary!

What is my home worth?

Give us one hour in your home, and we can tell you! 😉

What areas of Calgary do you recommend for investments?

Are you looking to invest in a fourplex, duplex, suited townhome, or Airbnb property? Each option has its own sweet spot, and we’ll help you find it!

What areas of Airdrie do you recommend for young kids?

We know each school in the city — the grades they serve and the communities they cover. If your dream is having your kids walk to school at all ages, we recommend Ravenswood, Kings Heights, Bayside, Coopers, Windsong, Prairie Springs, Thorburn, Meadowbrook, Canals, and Reunion.

Can you help me find my new home?

We absolutely love working with our buyers! Our team specializes in downsizing, right-sizing, divorce situations, investments, and relocations.

How quickly can you get my home on the market?

We typically need about four days to complete a full market analysis, stage your home, take professional photos, measure, create a detailed floor plan, finish all paperwork, and get your listing live!

Does my home have to be clean to show a realtor?

No! We’ve seen it all. We’ll make clear, strategic recommendations to help you get top dollar — and ensure you’re not leaving any money behind.

How is the market?

The market is always changing — and sometimes completely different depending on the type of property. Reach out anytime, and we’ll provide targeted information specific to your home.

What is a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)?

A CMA is an analysis of recently sold homes similar to yours, in comparable areas. We make adjustments for many factors such as size, location, lot size, upgrades, age, and inclusions.
