Carlin LISTENED to what we wanted. He worked with us for almost a year and a half. At the beginning of that process, he asked us to outline exactly what we were looking for in our new property. We made the "wish list" and ranked the items according to what we absolutely wanted and what items would be nice to have, but that we could happily live without. At one point, we compiled a list of properties for that were for sale and asked Carlin if we could go view them. He said he would book the viewings, but wanted to chat with us before doing that. We had a phone conversation and went through each property we had chosen. He asked us if our "wish list" had changed. When we said, "no", he went through each of the 10 properties with us and pointed out things that we said we absolutely did NOT want in our new property. In the end, he had more patience than we did and it paid off because we got a property that exceeded all of our expectations.
Carlin is amazing! He helped us navigate the home-buying process in a crazy market, and went above and beyond throughout the process. He was very patient with us and supportive, including as we walked away from one house and took our time to find the right fit. Carlin is extremely educated on the Calgary market and made sure we were informed along the way. Cannot say enough good things about Carlin!

Carlin was the perfect individual to guide me thru the. Sale of my property. In the past he was very successful dealing with my parents needs and putting a successful plan together that kept them feeling integrated with the process but without feeling burdened by all the activities. This is true for myself, Carlin was able to identify my needs and was able to make and guide me thru the plan, I was integrated where I could assist and he took care of the rest.

This translated to a quick sell for well above asking and I am over the moon pleased to say " She's Gone!"
Carlin is an absolute realtor superstar. It is our first time purchasing a home. In our first day of meeting Carlin, he made it immediately clear that he had our best interests at heart. Carlin took the time to prepare and educate us of the process of home buying, so that we would have all the tools neccesary for a successful purchase. Carlin worked with us around our schedules, and booked all the viewings we asked for and more. In the viewings themselves, Carlin proves to be knowledgable and well-versed in home constructions and neighbourhood stats. You ask him how old a carpet is, and he'll have a very accurate estimate. He'll know when different types of crown moulding were created, and what home layouts were popularly built in which decade. Carlin is prompt in communication, punctual for meetings, and really overall is a wonderful human being. We are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with him!
If you are looking for a home in Calgary, then congratulations you've done it. You've stumbled upon the best realtor the city has to offer. After having gone to see numerous properties with the Realtors listed for them online (you know the ones that would tell you a hole in the roof is a wonderful way to get natural light and never stop blowing your phone up afterwards) Carlin was an absolute breath of fresh air. He makes sure you know what you're getting in to, he takes the time to learn about what you like so he doesn't waste your time on bad listings, he's responsive and moves the process along without being pushy, he will give you his honest thoughts on any house you see, and he's probably the most overall knowledgeable person about houses in Calgary and their construction I've ever met. When I say you would be in good hands with Carlin, that's an understatement. Hire this man now and you will have made the best decision of your life.
