Certified Condominium Specialist REAL ESTATE AGENT / MLS® REALTOR® Sutton Group - Canwest CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA
I started my 'PERSONAL TOUCH'
approach as a police officer in London, England.
Now let me use that 'PERSONAL TOUCH' to help you with your Calgary Real Estate needs.
PERSONAL SERVICE is the beginning and end of how I sell
Calgary real estate. My goal is to offer you a happy and trouble-free
experience in the buying or selling of your house or condominium.
MY 'Personal Touch' approach has proven successful
in that the majority of my Calgary real estate clients are
repeat customers or referrals from previous real estate clients.
I SPECIALIZE in residential properties, houses,
townhouses, condominiums and other Calgary real estate
properties.
I OFFER comprehensive advertising
and open houses to give you full exposure to the Calgary real estate
market.
ANYONE CAN sell houses, but you need my professional knowledge of Calgary real estate and my expertise to make it an enjoyable
and profitable experience

ALL ABOUT CONDOMINIUMS Buying a
Condominium: (Calgary Condos,
condominiums)
Are you buying Calgary real estate for the first
time?Whatever your reasons for buying a home, be sure to
go about it the right way. You don't want to wake up a few weeks after the
largest single purchase of your life and realize you've made a big mistake.
Don't depend on luck to find your new home - a real estate purchase
is probably the largest financial - and emotional - investment you will make.
You need to enlist the services of a real estate agent who specializes in first-time
buyers with expert knowledge to guide you smoothly and happily through the
process.
I have worked with many first-time Calgary real estate
buyers and am happy to sit and listen to what you are looking for in your
first home . . . price range, neighbourhood, size, number of bedrooms
and bathrooms, schools, french immersion schools, churches, new or pre-owned,
condominium, single family home . . . the list goes on . . . and
all are very important factors in your real estate purchase. It is equally
important to know what you don't want as well as what you do
want!
Financially, it makes good sense to purchase your own
home. Real estate is a good investment - particularly in a fast-growing and
fast-moving city such as Calgary. Purchasing your first home - be it a condo or
a single family house - should be an exciting and happy experience. Let me help
you make it so !
When you decide to purchase a house or condominium
in CalgaryI will listen to what your home
requirements are and carefully select the real estate properties that fit your
criteria. Having viewed the properties we can then sit over a coffee or lunch
and discuss your options on the districts we have visited and select further
real estate properties to view.
Your priorities will guide me in
choosing the districts - the price range is important, the neighbourhood
equally so - do you want family oriented - are schools important - do you
prefer a french immersion school - is a church nearby of importance - what size
of home would best suit your needs - how many bedrooms and bathrooms - basement
requirements - parking requirements . . . the list goes on.
Moving is stressful enough . . .
Moving to a new city can be
quite daunting!
If you wish, I will introduce you to Calgary real
estate lawyers, home inspectors, movers and mortgage brokers. It will be my
pleasure to ensure that your home hunting and eventual move to Calgary . .
.
. . . is a pleasant and happy experience..
Will a condominium best suit your lifestyle?Forty years ago when condominiums first appeared in Calgary
they were primarily purchased by people who could not afford single family
dwellings. How we have changed! Condos are now purchased by everyone -
single - married - young - old - male - female - and condos can be purchased
for as low as $75,000 and as high as in excess of $3,000,000. here in the City
of Calgary.
There are many aspects of purchasing a condominium
as opposed to a residential house that you should - and need - to understand. (See the Condominium Property Act of Alberta)
It is important for you to obtain all the
necessary condominium
documents as to what is required from the seller - with all relevant
information on the building. It is all very basic - however - like most things
- if a process is new to you it is all rather baffling . It is my job to sit
down with you to review the condominium documents and ensure that you
understand all the information received.
Your lifestyle may suit buying
into an age restriction condo complex - or you may prefer having a
diversification in age - you may prefer to own a bare land condominium - in the
latter you own the land your condo sits upon - usually a townhouse or villa
type condominium.
The decision you will make includes considerations such as: the square footage, the type of parking available,
the construction of the building, the owner/renter ratio, whether the building
is a conversion from a rental, who pays for the heating and utilities, do you have pets, do you
want a townhouse or apartment condominium, the financial stability of the
corporation, is there going to be a 'special assessment', does the corporation
have an adequate reserve fund in keeping with the changed Condominium Act? -
the list goes on . . . When we have reviewed the documents I recommend that you
contact Calgary Condominium Consulting Ltd. (403-651-1463) and have a face to
face meeting to look at all aspects of the condominium complex you are
considering buying into. You will now know everything you want to know about
your proposed Calgary real estate purchase - and also if it is going to be a
good investment for you.
I have sold numerous condominiums
throughout the City of Calgary and have personal knowledge and experience
in the buying and selling of condos in all four quadrants of the city.
I also live in a condominium and am very much aware that this lifestyle
is not for everyone.
