Deciding to sell our home in a terrible economy and a buyer’s market was probably not the best decision but we knew we would need someone with the experience to get us through it. That's why we chose Big John and his team. They were amazing throughout the entire process, answering all our calls and questions in a timely manner, providing regular updates and although we didn't realize it at the time, guiding us through this very emotional process in a non-emotional manner. If you're looking for someone that has been through the good times and the bad times and is still going strong, Big John is your man!

Big John was great, he is a true Professional and his Team were very helpful. We had another Realtor
prior to John, who produced very little results. All he wanted was to reduce the Price time and time
again. It would appear that he did not have an extensive marketing campaign whatsoever as we have
very few Showings.
Big John was highly recommend to us by our Movers and from the first time we met
him we new he was the Realtor that would do a great job for us. Big John has a very extensive marketing
campaign which paid off with the number of Showings, which resulted in us Selling our House. Given the
market conditions in the Calgary Market, Big John is amazing in delivering results.
Over the years we have brought and Sold several houses in the Calgary area and by far, Big John is the
best Realtor we have ever had. We would without doubt highly recommend Big John to any person who
is interested in Selling their house, he is a wonderful guy along with his Team.

John and his team have helped us sell and buy 3 houses and 2 rental condos in the Calgary market. Our last house sale in February of this year was the one that concerned us the most as the housing market is not great for sellers and prices are severely depressed, however an opportunity existed that we didn’t want to miss out on and wanted a quick sale if possible. We met with John a couple times before listing the house to review what was needed to get the house in the best shape for selling and to review pricing options and John was honest about the market and what needed to be done to maximize value. Prior to the official listing John and his team started the pre-marketing work and we actually had a showing prior to official listing. Once we were live online the phone app that John's team uses was great for confirming showings and keeping information current on our houses activity and the custom webpage really showed the house to its best. The proof of John’s hard work was that we had a sale complete in 10 days from listing at almost the exact number that John told us we could expect. The follow up work from Cheryl post sale has been fantastic and she does a great job of managing the sale and post sale process. Overall we would easily recommend John and his team for your real estate needs.

My wife and I moved to Calgary with our 9 month old son from Ontario in November having secured an Airbnb for one month. Our plan was to find a short term rental for 3 months while we would start house hunting with our chosen realtor, Dave Peterson. As it turned out Dave had us moving into our new home within 2 weeks of starting our hunt! Something I thought totally impossible. Our first choice was very unrealistic as it was well outside our ceiling price. Dave negotiated the price down by close to 10 percent. He took care of finding us a great mortgage broker, a lawyer and a home inspector, he even lent us everything we needed to redecorate. I'm sure for a lot of people, buying their first home can be a very stressful experience, for us Dave took care of everything. Thank you so much for the moving in gifts, thanks for saving all our paperwork on a handy USB stick, thanks for all the constant support since we moved in and thanks for putting your negotiation skills to work and saving us an absolute fortune.
Hope to catch up again soon, all the best,
Steve, Ellysia and Leo

The whole team is great. I'm not sure Cheryl ever sleeps. The best thing is they were with us from beginning to end. From the sale of our home to the purchase of our new home. Big John attended every meeting with us, and was a source of information and guidance on how to proceed with things. They always got back to us in a timely matter.
I would recommend them to anyone needing to sell our buy a home.
5 Stars!

We met Dave Peterson when our daughter and son in law bought a home from him in the spring of 2017. We quickly connected with Dave and gained a lot of respect for his knowledge of the housing industry. When it came time for us to find another home of our own, it was a no brainer to engage Dave. He assisted us with the purchase of a really nice home in Okotoks. His negotiation skills proved to be very worthwhile too. Our experience with all the staff at Big John’s during our purchase was very positive. If you are looking for a great real estate firm, these folks are top notch! We highly recommend them!

John and his team were great. His knowledge and experience helped sell my home in 2 days. I also worked with Dave Peterson who just like John knows the business inside and out. His back ground helped me determine the real value of homes which lead me to my perfect purchase. After working with them it's obvious you're dealing with people who know the business of selling and can offer insight to the housing market that many realtors only wish they had.

Thank you so much to John, Kathy and Rachel! You were all great to work with. I love the fact that your team uses all forms of technology to communicate. It made it easier for me to manage the sale with my hectic schedule. We're thrilled our sale went so smooth and quick. I realize that had partly to do with the market but we LOVED how organized and professional your team was at marketing our property.

It has been a pleasure working with you. We have sold properties in the past with other realtors and I must say that working with you was refreshing. The additional touches, the no penalty cancellation option, the questionnaire about our property's features and the feedback surveys from the other realtors, elevated the trust factor that you wanted the sale to be successful. My biggest concern has been communication with the realtor and you were always available to us. Thank you so much for all that you have done. We will definitely use you again.

I thought that Big John's Team did a fantastic job! Everyone was always quick with replies, and that was very much appreciated-our experience with your team far exceeded the standard set by other realtors in the past. While I hope it will be a very long time before we sell again, we will definitely be calling you up when the time comes. Thank you! ï„Ž
