Calgary REALTOR® · Selling

Sell Your Calgary Home With a REALTOR® People Already Know

Most sellers meet their agent once, at the kitchen table. Mine have usually watched me for months — on YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, where more than 220,000 people follow my daily videos about Calgary real estate, the economy and life in Alberta. When your home goes on the market with me, it is not just listed. It is shown to an audience that is already paying attention.

How I sell your home

1. Honest pricing

I prepare a full comparative market analysis using current Calgary sales, not wishful thinking. You get the number the market will pay, the number that gets you the most, and the strategy to reach it.

2. Video-first marketing

Every listing gets a walkthrough video and a professional photo package. Your home is published to my channels and shown to buyers before they ever open an MLS® app.

3. Full MLS® exposure

Your listing goes to MLS® through eXp Realty and syndicates to every major portal in Canada, so every REALTOR® and every buyer in the market can find it.

4. Buyers from two markets

I work in both English and Russian. A large share of Calgary’s newcomers are Russian-speaking families who are actively buying, and most of them already know my name.

5. Negotiation, not just paperwork

Offers, conditions, inspections, financing deadlines — I handle the negotiation personally and keep you informed at every step, by phone, text or email, whatever you prefer.

6. One point of contact

No handoff to an assistant. You deal with me from the first conversation to the day the keys change hands.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to sell a home in Calgary?

Commission in Alberta is negotiable and set in the listing agreement, not by law. We discuss the exact numbers at our first meeting, along with lawyer fees, mortgage payout costs and preparation expenses, so there are no surprises on closing day.

How long does it take to sell?

It depends on price, property type and the season. Well-priced detached homes in Calgary often sell in days; condos and higher-priced homes take longer. I will give you a realistic timeline for your specific property, not a generic average.

Should I renovate before listing?

Usually no. Small fixes, cleaning and good staging almost always return more than a renovation. I will walk through your home and tell you exactly what is worth doing and what to leave alone.

Can I sell and buy at the same time?

Yes, and this is the most common situation I handle. We plan the timing, conditions and financing so you are not left with two homes or none.

What if I have tenants or a basement suite?

I own rental property myself and know the Alberta rules. Tenants, suites and legalization questions are part of the plan from day one.
