Glenn has surpassed all my expectations of a realtor. I have purchased 2 homes in Tuscany with him and now a third now in Rocky Ridge plus selling our Tuscany home. All in all many interactions with Glenn have boasted incredible attention and excellent communication. Need him at 11pm? He responds. Then the next morning when you are going crazy? He is right there. He did a phenomenal job of our purchases and our sale. Has a rock star team that includes a stager, photographer and videographer. Very professional and wonderful to work with. Have already recommended him to many and will continue to do so. We wanted a house that would work for future hobby/side hussle. Delivered. Needed someone who could be flexible and think outside of the box. He surpassed hopes. Truly an excellent experience. So glad he was recommended by a friend and will be my go to realtor in the future

Glenn has helped us in purchasing our first home located in Coventry Hills, Calgary back in 2007 and selling that same home just recently 17 years later! Both as a purchasing and selling agent, Glenn is a dream to work with. His knowledge, calmness and professionalism has been much appreciated during what is a very stressful experience in both buying and selling a home in a crazy housing market. Throughout the entire process he was communicative and available. We were able to sell in less than a week due to Glenn's resources in staging and marketing. I would recommend Glenn to both first time and seasoned buyers and sellers. Thank you so much Glenn!
