Pricing, preparation, photography, exposure on the MLS® System and every major portal, and negotiation — handled by one REALTOR® who is accountable for the result. Straight advice on what your home is worth, and what it will take to actually sell it.
We start with your timeline, your reasons for moving, and what the sale needs to achieve. You get an honest read on price built from what has actually sold near you in the last 60 to 90 days — not a flattering number designed to win the listing.
The repairs and staging actually worth doing, professional photography, and a listing written to be found. Your home goes on the MLS® System and every major portal, alongside direct outreach to buyers and agents already working in your price band.
I run showings, chase feedback and bring you every offer with a plain view of whether it is worth taking. From accepted offer to possession day I stay on conditions, financing and paperwork so nothing quietly slips.
Tell me about your home and what you are hoping to do. You will get back a realistic price range, what I would change before listing, and roughly what it nets you after costs. No obligation, and no pressure to list.
That depends far more on what you own than on the market as a whole. Calgary in July 2026 was balanced overall — about 3.5 months of supply, with homes taking roughly 40 days to sell — but the average hides a real split. Detached and semi-detached homes were sitting near 2.9 months of supply, which favours sellers. Apartment condominiums were closer to 4.9 months, which favours buyers.
So a well-kept detached home priced sensibly should sell. An apartment condominium will take longer and will be judged hard on price. The honest answer for your property comes from looking at it against its current competition, which is what a home evaluation is for.
More than most sellers expect, and having it ready early prevents problems later. Assemble your Real Property Report with municipal compliance — Alberta buyers will ask for it, and ordering one late is a common cause of delayed closings. Add permits for any finished basement, deck, garage, furnace or hot water tank replacement, recent utility and property tax amounts, condominium documents and the reserve fund study if applicable, and warranty paperwork on newer work.
Disclose anything you know to be a problem. Concealing a known defect is the fastest route to a dispute after possession, and it rarely stays hidden anyway.
Sometimes. A pre-listing inspection earns its money on older homes and anywhere you suspect a buyer inspector will find something — it lets you repair it, price it in, or disclose it on your own terms rather than renegotiating under pressure with a deal already on the table.
Calgary inspections generally run from around $340 for a condominium to roughly $500 to $700 for a detached home, scaled by size and age, with radon testing, sewer scopes and mould testing billed separately. On a newer, well-maintained home the money is usually better spent on presentation.
The main items are the commission set out in your listing agreement plus GST on it, legal fees, mortgage discharge and any prepayment penalty if you are breaking a term early, property tax and condominium fee adjustments to the possession date, and whatever you spend preparing the home.
If you are buying again in Alberta, the purchase side is cheaper than most provinces — there is no land transfer tax here, only a modest registration fee. You can work those numbers through on the Alberta closing cost calculator.
Calgary in July 2026 was balanced overall — a $569,200 benchmark, 3.5 months of supply, 40 days to sell on average — but the average is close to meaningless on its own. Detached homes carried about 2.9 months of supply and sold in 33 days. Apartment condominiums carried nearly 4.9 months and took 54 days. Row and townhouse product sat between the two at a $418,500 benchmark, down 6.1% year over year.
Pricing method matters more than pricing optimism. What sold near you in the last 60 to 90 days, adjusted honestly for the differences between those homes and yours, is the number. What your neighbour got in 2024 is not.
Not every renovation pays. The ones that reliably do are unglamorous: deep cleaning, decluttering to the point of discomfort, paint in neutral colours, fixing the small visible defects a buyer will otherwise mentally price at ten times their repair cost, and lighting. Professional photography is not optional — the overwhelming majority of buyers see your home on a screen before they see it in person, and a weak first photograph costs you showings you never hear about.
Get your documentation together before listing rather than during: the Real Property Report with municipal compliance, permits for any finished basement, deck, garage or mechanical replacement, recent utility and tax amounts, and condominium documents with the reserve fund study if applicable.
Price is the headline, not the deal. A slightly lower offer with financing already arranged, a deposit that reflects commitment, few conditions and a possession date that suits you is frequently worth more than a higher number attached to a long conditions period and a buyer who still has a home to sell.
Watch the conditions period specifically. Every day your home sits conditionally sold is a day it is off the market for other buyers, and if the deal collapses you re-enter with days-on-market already accumulated.
