I have known Holly Bennett both professionally and personally for over 20 years. In 2005, Holly…read morehelped me navigate the world of numerous buyers, price wars, even people buying sight unseen in the height of the market. My home sold for top dollar, and well above asking price! Twelve years later, Holly helped me sell my second home, which meant a bit more work in a less robust marketplace. Her work was impeccable, and she spent many hours ensuring the marketing materials were exceptional. It took only three open houses but again, my home sold for more than the asking price. Not only does she understand the housing market in Calgary, but also the general financial markets that drive the real estate industry. Holly is extremely knowledgeable about every detail of home buying and selling. From the mechanics, HVAC, roofing of a single-family home, to condo boards, special assessments in multi-unit dwellings, she is extremely detailed oriented. She does her homework and treats your transaction as if it were her own. Her honesty and integrity are paramount in her business transactions. But beware, she'll likely end up being more than just your realtor, and probably more like a good friend. Good luck everyone! Sharon

There are not enough stars! Holly truly went above and beyond to help me purchase a property - she…read moretoured houses, took video, helped with condo board approval for my dog, arranged the inspection, had the condo docs reviewed, liaised with my mortgage company, and even picked up the keys/did the final walk-through for me when I couldn't attend. I've bought and sold 6 houses before, and never had this level of service. Rockstar!!! I will recommend her to everyone I know!!!

I found Victor at Real Estate Movers through Kijiji, less than a week before we needed to move…read morebecause the truck we had rented fell through. I was a bit worried because of the horror stories you read about movers who don't show up, who are careless with your things, who over-charge, etc. Victor put my mind at ease by allowing me to call him twice to confirm (see above worry about movers not showing up). On moving day two men and a 26-foot truck arrived on time as promised. And they worked their tails off -- wrapping everything even remotely fragile in blankets, loading the truck so nothing would shift-- all on a hot day and with stairs and some distance between apartment door and the street at both the old place and the new one. Dmitri, the lead mover, went out of his way to make the move run smoothly and did not leave until everything was set up to our satisfaction, including four-poster bed and plasma TV. As well, they took care to put everything in the correct room. The move took longer than expected (not their fault, ours for underestimating) so we did not have enough cash on hand at the end. I spoke to Victor then did a quick Interac e-transfer on my cel phone and it was all good. I would hire Real Estate Movers again and recommend them fully.

Karen King Property management was one of the worst experiences myself AND a large number of my…read moreneighbors have ever had. We had repeatedly made formal complaints of high heat in the buildings. And were gaslit saying it was our individual units and our problem and that nobody else was complaining. The parkade was consistently running at 30 - 33 degrees, the common hallways and stairwells were running at 31 degrees and of course the residual heat brings unit temperatures up. Main floor tenants were experiencing temperatures of 26 - 30 degrees in their units throughout all seasons. The maintenance company they had hired are just as incompetent as they are. This is a huge health and safety concern, and it feels like health lawsuits waiting to happen. We have many pets, elderly, children and individuals with immuno compromised systems and being exposed to constant temperatures like this is hazardous for a healthy individual. The last administrative assistant they had answering emails did not care in the slightest, and would consistently dismiss any concerns. They had recently stopped maintaining land which our condo fees were paying for, this is another safety concern at this was happening in the winter as well as other seasons. There are so many layers to this very problematic company. We have recently gained a new management company, and have high hopes they will properly take care of our areas. Please DO NOT hire them, and before buying a property please see who the property management is. They are horrific. If I could give them no stars, I would.

As a long-time condo owner, I've had years of experience dealing with Karen King & Associates…read moreInc.--none of it positive. This company consistently fails to follow through on basic property management responsibilities. Despite repeated complaints about noise violations, unauthorized tenants, unapproved renovations, and health and safety issues, they respond with deflection, delay, or worse--counter-complaints against owners trying to maintain the quality of their investment. We've experienced unresolved noise disturbances from adjacent units, guests smoking in shared areas, repeated door slamming, and garbage smells left unchecked. When renovations above us caused a leak into our ceiling (paid for by the condo fund, not the responsible owner), management did nothing. The same renovations also reduced the soundproofing in our unit--making everyday life far more disruptive. And when we reported these issues, we were either ignored or met with antagonism. This is not just my experience--Karen King & Associates has 26 negative reviews out of 27 on Yelp, is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, and has a troubling reputation for lack of professionalism, transparency, and accountability. Calgary has many property management companies that offer better service, clearer communication, and more respect for residents. This is not one of them. Avoid if you value peace, professionalism, or property value.

Shawn helped us sell our home and buy our dream home. He was fantastic to work with and very…read moreknowledgeable. He spent time answering our MANY questions. I never felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience. When we were getting ready to sell our home, he did a walk through and gave us many tips for little improvements that made a big impact for our sale. He would check-in and see how the prep was going and offer advice and solutions. I felt supported through the whole process. When we went to market Shawn was there every step of the way, offering solid negotiation advice and market analysis. With Shawn's expert advice I believe we got the best revenue from our home as possible. When we went looking for our dream home, we weren't entirely sure what we wanted. Shawn took time showing us different properties and answering a million questions. With Shawn's background he was able to tell us how much different reno projects we were considering would cost. When we found our dream home Shawn helped us negotiate a fair price. We couldn't be happier with our new home. Shawn helped to make our dream come true! If we buy or sell in the future, we will work with Shawn again. If any of my friends or family say that they are thinking of buying or selling I pass on Shawn's name. If you choose Shawn as your real-estate agent, you won't be disappointed.

I am based in Vancouver and decided to purchase property in Calgary. Shawn was extremely helpful in…read morethis process and helped us land a fantastic property by providing: - Exquisite understanding of city plans, future developments and trends in Calgary real estate - First viewing of properties and reporting with great detail allowing us to see only best ones - Detailed knowledge on city guidelines which would or would not allow us to fulfill our long term redevelopment plans Shawn went a step further and provided us with contacts of large number of fine professionals (lawyers, tenants, roofers, inspectors, plumbers) that have all allowed us to get estimates and later fix/renovate our property. While we were in Vancouver Shawn helped deal with tenants, contract, old owner and their agent providing us care free easy home purchase beyond our expectations. On top of all we received regular updates, momentary responses and care that is beyond professional. If you need an full package real estate agent, look no further Shawn is the man.
