6 Reasons Why You Should Use a REMAX Real Estate Agent...

Are you thinking of buying or selling Calgary real estate, but aren’t too sure why you should choose a REMAX real estate professional as your third-party representative?

When you choose to work with a REMAX agent you will not only experience exceptional service, but also be provided with all the information you need to make the best and most informed decisions possible.

REMAX agents are some of the most knowledgeable agents with the most experience in the real estate business and their respective specialties.

They also have all the professional and community connections needed to help you throughout your home selling and / or buying process to the fullest.

They are the industry professionals who will go above and beyond the call of duty to help clients accomplish their real estate goals.

Here are five reasons why you should use a REMAX Real Estate Agent in Calgary for your next real estate transaction:

#1 - Top in Canada

REMAX has been Canada’s top real estate firm for over 20 years. In 2012, the company outsold their competition on average by 3 to 1!*

Having some of the most knowledgeable and experienced agents is one of the reasons why REMAX is consistently at the top out of more than 150 real estate markets across Canada.

#2 - Full Time Agents

Some agents might be working part time in real estate and part time in another profession. On the other hand, real estate typically IS a REMAX Agent's career and they are available to help you when, where and how you need it.

You will not be pressured to buy or sell and are guaranteed to have an experienced professional guiding you throughout the process while providing you with all the information you need.

#3 - Educational Standards

REMAX agents lead the industry in advancing their education past standard realtor certification. Some might include…

Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR®)

Certified Condo Specialist (CCS)

Sellers Residential Specialist (SRS®)

I personally have all of these certifications and more. Learn more about my resume at Video: Cody Battershill REMAX Professional in Calgary today.

When you choose to buy or sell your home with a REMAX Professional, you have a sharp marketing advantage.

As mentioned above, REMAX agents utilize their extensive education and experience to market your home in the best way possible.

If you are buying, the same is true; agents will provide you with a list of homes that match your criteria the best and encourage you to only buy on your time schedule.

REMAX has been the recipient of several awards over several years. Some of them include…

REMAX associates donate their time and money to various non-profit organizations and charities.

Also supported by REMAX is The National Organ Donor Awareness Week and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Every year, REMAX also awards $16,000 to Grade 12 students through the Quest for Excellence which is an annual event.

The Calgary community has been an integral part of my success as a Top 100 REMAX Real Estate Agent in Canada (2013, 2014) and this is one of the ways I express my gratitude to all those who have helped me accomplish what I have as a real estate agent in Calgary.
