It is an honour to share my experience with Doug as my agent. Doug from day one was very consistent and honest with his thoughts regarding the property. In the beginning I told Doug I was not to savvy with many things that go along with selling a property. This property for me was apart of a settlement so I was very unaware of the many differences in selling a condo unit. Doug so to speak held my hand through this process and went well above what I feel any agent may do for someone. He provided everything I needed for me and in the end its a success. I was able rest easy knowing Doug was doing what he needed to do to nail this down. I would recommend Doug to any newbie buying or selling a property or any one looking for an honest hardworking agent. I know already he is my guy when I start looking for my next property. Thank you Sir!

My husband relocated to Calgary from Whitehorse, Yukon after we got engaged to my 525 sq. ft. condo in downtown Calgary. Although we both work away for three weeks at a time, the three weeks that we were trying to co-exist in such a tiny space was an added challenge to a new marriage. We knew we wanted to leave the downtown area of the city and both of us ideally want to be closer to the mountains, with easier access to the outdoor activities we love - fishing for him, paddleboarding for me. We started looking online at homes in Cochrane, initially thinking a low maintenance condo or townhouse would be the best choice given our work rotation. Doug was the first agent to reach out after I selected the option for a property viewing, and we set up a meeting shortly thereafter to look at a few...

Doug is professional, honest in communications and an overall nice person, he is by far the best agent we have worked in our experience buying/selling seven homes in 30 years. He made the process of selling our Calgary home as easy as possible. Prior to listing a full explanation of his services as well as what we needed to do to best present our home for sale was provided, and completed as expected. Doug provided a sound marketing strategy based on the current market and time of year as well as ongoing advice through out the sale process. Doug's services include an excellent home stager (Cindy) who we worked with via telephone and exchange of pictures, a pleasure to work with. Our home sold in two days above list and met our expected price. I fully recommend Doug as a listing or purchasing agent.

Doug was very thorough,kind and considerate He found just what we wanted Our house sale and buying a new “just perfect” property went smoothly I’d definitely recommend Doug to all my friends looking to buy or sell The mortgage broker he sent our way was outstanding

Alison Williams

We really enjoyed getting to know Doug. He was always professional answering any question we may have had, explaining things we didn't consider and offering an unbiased opinion when we asked him. He was easy to talk to and if he didn't know an answer to a question he would find out and get back to us. We knew that we could talk to him at any time and if he was not available we could leave a message and he would call us back in a timely manner. When determining listing price he checked all houses selling in our area and how long they had been on the market so we were able to make an informed decision. Always listening to any concerns we had. We would not hesitate to recommend Doug to anyone we knew selling or buying a home.

I am very thankful I chose Doug as my realtor when I decided it was time to downsize from my acreage property and purchase a home is Cochrane. He worked very hard to ensure my property was marketed well and sold quickly for a great price. I found Doug to be experienced, professional, and very easy to work with. I have never handled real estate transactions on my own before. So I most appreciate how caring and patient Doug was as he guided me through the process. I highly recommend Doug to anyone and I will certainly use him for any future real estate needs.
