We purchased a condo in Calgary years ago for our daughter when she moved there for work, and after she moved out, we turned it into a rental property for over a decade. Two years ago, we started considering selling and reinvesting the money elsewhere. Chris evaluated the property and gave us a clear picture of the market, advising us to hold onto it a little longer. We’re glad we listened—over the next year and a half, the value increased by 25%.
When we finally decided to sell, Chris laid out two clear options: sell as-is or invest in some strategic renovations to list at a higher price. We chose to renovate, and being out of province, we were especially grateful for Chris’s help. He coordinated the trades, kept things moving, and within three weeks, the updates were done. Chris’s team wasted no time—once the work was complete, the property was listed and we had two strong offers that weekend. As remote owners, it gave us real peace of mind to know our investment was in such capable hands.
Chris kept us informed every step of the way and made the process smooth and stress-free. We've worked with several real estate agents over the years. Chris is one of the top real estate agents we have worked with. If you're buying or selling in Calgary, we can't recommend him enough.

After losing our parents, we were left not only with grief but also the overwhelming task of handling their estate—including selling the family home they'd lived in for over 20 years. The house was in solid shape but showed its years of occupancy, and we were unsure what—if anything—to renovate or update. Working with Chris was a true blessing during a very emotional time. He understood the history and sentimental value tied to the home, but he also knew how important it was to position it for the best possible outcome. He walked us through what was worth fixing, what to leave as-is, and where not to waste our time, money, or energy. Chris was patient, thorough, and clear about the pricing strategy and what we could realistically expect. He gave us the space to process things at our pace while keeping everything on track. Once the home was listed, Nicole provided a “Now That You’re Listed” guide, and when we received an offer, we got the same kind of support to navigate that step too. There was so much more involved than just selling a house—and Chris handled it with care, professionalism, and expertise. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide through it all. We would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone navigating the sale of a family home, especially under difficult circumstances.

As Power of Attorney, I was entrusted with the considerable responsibility of assisting my parents in their transition to a new home and preparing their residence of 50 years for sale. After consulting with multiple real estate agents, Chris distinguished himself through his professionalism, clarity, and data-driven approach.
His marketing strategy was highly effective, resulting in a strong offer in a timely manner. What could have been a complex and emotionally challenging process was made seamless under his guidance. I would confidently recommend Chris to anyone managing the sale of a family home, particularly in the context of supporting aging parents or administering an estate.

We had the opportunity to get to know Chris before we began actively looking for a home, and when the right property came up in Willow Park, we didn’t hesitate to reach out. Homes in this area rarely come up for sale, and Chris responded right away to arrange a showing.
From the beginning, it was clear that Chris knew the market well. He understood that the Calgary real estate landscape was shifting and provided thoughtful insight to help guide our decision-making. After viewing the home, he took detailed notes and quickly put together a comprehensive market evaluation, which gave us a solid foundation for writing our offer. Chris also reached out to the listing agent to learn more about the sellers’ motivation, which gave us a strategic advantage when negotiating.
Thanks to his guidance, we were able to purchase the home for nearly $20,000 below the list price. Throughout the entire process, Chris was thorough, professional, and accessible. He recommended an amazing lawyer and home inspector.
His background knowledge of renovation costs was incredibly helpful in determining the right purchase price. We would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy a home. He makes the entire experience—from A to Z—smooth, informed, and stress-free.

Chris helped us sell two homes. This was our second time working with Chris. The first was helping sell my mom’s home, and what stood out right away was how thoughtfully he approached the process. He didn’t just tell us what to do — he asked the right questions, listened to our goals, and built a marketing plan around what we were willing and able to do. That kind of care stuck with us.
Over the years, Chris stayed in touch, keeping us updated on the Calgary market. So when it came time to sell our own home during a relocation, calling him again was an easy decision — and once again, he delivered. Chris came through our house, gave clear advice on what updates would generate the best return. He connected us with his interior designer to make sure everything looked cohesive and ready to show.
Although the renovations took a little longer than expected and the market began to shift, Chris made sure we were ahead of the curve. He recommended a price to position to attract showing and ultimately attract multiple offers — and he was right. We received two strong offers and, thanks to his negotiation skills, ended up selling for more than either offer presented. We truly appreciated Chris’s professionalism, strategy, and genuine effort to get our home sold. He made a potentially stressful move feel smooth and successful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris if you're thinking of selling your home.

Working with Chris to sell our home was a great experience! We found a house that we were interested in purchasing so we called Chris to help us sell ours in a hurry. He was proactive right from the beginning, ensuring our house was listed as soon as possible. He took a deep dive into the market and laid out a clear strategy for us to achieve the best results.
The marketing campaign Chris created went above and beyond our expectations. From professional photos, video, and drone footage to a personal property website, every detail was handled with care. What really made an impact was the virtual open house ad — it caught buyers’ attention and got the phone ringing. We had several showings right away.
Thanks to Chris’s approach, we received two offers and ended up in a multiple-offer situation. He also negotiated an additional $5,000 above the highest offer, which truly showed his skill and commitment to maximizing value for his clients. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven realtor in Calgary!

Chris is one of the best realtors I’ve worked with in Calgary. He exceeded our expectations with his deep market knowledge and knew exactly how to position and market a unique property. As the executor of an estate, I appreciated how Chris listened carefully and understood the complexities involved. He kept all parties informed throughout the process and communicated clearly every step of the way. Despite a few hiccups during the sale, Chris stayed solution-focused and worked diligently with the other agent to keep things moving forward. His negotiation skills, professionalism, and client-first approach truly set him apart. Chris and his team are incredibly customer-focused and responsive. I highly recommend Chris and would absolutely work with him again in the future.

We recently worked with Chris to sell our home and buy a new one at the same time, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Our relationship with Chris actually began back in 2019. Over the past six years, he kept us updated on the market without ever pushing us—so when the time finally came to make a move, we knew we wanted to work with him. This year brought some personal changes, which added a layer of complexity to our real estate decisions. Chris handled the situation with professionalism, sensitivity, and deep knowledge of how these changes impacts real estate transactions.
What stood out most was Chris's deep market knowledge and pricing strategy, both when selling our home and helping us buy a new one. He took the time to carefully evaluate the market, guided us on timing, and used a thoughtful marketing plan that highlighted not just our home, but the unique features of our community that would appeal to potential buyers.
On the buy side, Chris was incredibly patient. We looked at two homes that weren’t quite the right fit, and he never pressured us. When we finally found “the one,” it was actually less expensive than the previous two—which reinforced that Chris was focused on our best interests, not just closing a deal. Nicole, part of his team, was also fantastic—she made sure we clearly understood every step of the process, which made things feel organized and stress-free.
To top it all off, once we moved in, Chris even arranged for his painter to do a few touch-ups to make our new home even more enjoyable. That level of service is rare. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and strategic realtor who also leads with empathy—especially if you're going through a big life transition—we can't recommend Chris enough.

We recently had the privilege of working with Chris and his team during our relocation from Montreal to Calgary. Chris was recommended to us by our local agent to assist in finding our new home. From our initial conversation, Chris took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and preferences, and thoughtfully suggested several communities that would align with our lifestyle. He provided valuable insights into schools, demographics, neighborhood amenities, and the logistical proximity to other key areas within Calgary.
Upon our arrival in Calgary, Chris made it a priority to adjust his schedule to accommodate ours, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. Once we identified our future home, Chris conducted a comprehensive market assessment, which proved to be an invaluable tool in negotiating a purchase price below the asking price. After securing a conditional sale, his team coordinated a detailed inspection with a reputable inspector and recommended several lawyers to facilitate the closing process.
hroughout the contract negotiations and subsequent amendments, Chris and his team demonstrated professionalism and efficiency, handling each matter with expedience. We highly recommend Chris for anyone looking to relocate or make a move in the Calgary area, and we look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks for all your time and expertise!

We are new to both Calgary and the whole process of buying, we were referred to Chris as someone who could help us identify communities that fit our lifestyle and also someone who guaranteed that we are happy with our home.This made us feel comfortable and also not rushed to use Chris's services, being our first purchase he made sure we were comfortable with the purchase. As a added bonus he guaranteed to negotiate to save us a set amount or he would refund the different. That really made us feel good about Chris's market knowledge, and he delivered. Chris further made us feel comfortable and took us through the entire process, answering all our questions along the way. Our first purchase experience in Calgary was positive and recommend anyone have a conversation to know how he stands apart from other agents.

We reached out to Chris to help us sell our rental property earlier this year. The sale of this property came with some challenges that Chris assisted to ensure our sale completed. We had owned this property since 2008 and had yet to physically see the property as we live out of province.. Chris was quick to assess our property and broke down the market conditions in Calgary.
over the next 6 months, he updated us monthly as to supply levels and where we might position if selling today. Where things got a bit tricky is the same time we were getting ready to sell, there was a new property management company taking over and the outgoing management was not easy to contact and there was limited documents available for review.
The other issue is that some of the maintenance to have been completed by the outgoing management was not completed. Chris had organized to have a home inspection completed and set up a couple of trades to come in to complete work to ensure no issues came up during inspection. Either Chris or his assistant maintained a open line of communication with everyone, which helped to overcome any sticking points. Between his knowledge of the market and how he was able to stick handle everything without us having to be involved, especially, living out of province, made us feel he was the right choice and would highly recommend his service
