Justin Havre RE/MAX First

Working with Heather Nickel from Justin Havre Associates for selling our home was a great experience. Heather was engaged from day one. She always checked in as we completed our projects before listing, and was ready when we were. She was instrumental with the purchasing of our next home and equally helpful with recommending all the services that goes along with selling and buying a home.
You made the process very easy and you were always at the end of the phone when we needed you.
Thank you Heather!

Christine was a pleasure to work with and made sure I was kept up to date on the progress of the sale of my condo. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor.

Great team to work with, we had a deadline to sell our house and they had it sold in a couple of days. Great job

Our experience with Harjot was amazing. She was friendly, responsive, professional and effective. She was thorough when going through the property and she didn’t pressure us to buy. She gave us the best advice and very dedicated to her work. She replied quickly to all our inquiries. She is overall the best. I would highly recommend her to my friends and relatives.

We contacted one of the agents in Justin Havre to listed our house, two agents came to the house and look the house after than never heard anything try to call the agent he said his wife is sick I will call you back later until then did not heard anything from them. I decided to call another realtor and the house was sold within 3 months. What a bad experience

I honestly cannot say enough about Colt Oswald! We got in touch with him with a very strict budget and a very short time frame to find a condo, and he did not let us down. We had a few disappointments along the way as properties were snapped up before we could make an offer, but Colt was consistently positive and encouraging. He really knows Calgary, knows the neighbourhoods, and is quick to find properties that match up with your search criteria. We found his advice to be completely trustworthy and on point. If you are looking for a property, do yourself a huge favour and get in touch with Colt!

Very professional, very quick sale and really smooth transaction. I would highly recommend this team

Mark John has been amazing to work with. My partner and I are first time home buyers and for years we put off buying a home out of fear and the unknown. Mark not only found our dream home based on my many demands, but provided a tailored experience. Mark has reassured us from day one, worked hard to answer every question we’ve had, and lined up viewings at the drop of a dime. This has been a FUN experience instead of the scary experience I had initially expected. Also, Mark is just a great person to chat with! Thank you so much Mark!

We worked with Fiona Connolly from Justin Havre Associates in finding our new home after moving to Calgary. One of the reasons we were moving was that the place we rented was put up for sale, as a result, we got to interact with a lot of realtors through the process and the showings that followed. In that context, I can sincerely say that Fiona and the team at Justin Havre's were really exceptional in their business discipline and professionalism. Fiona has been always prompt in setting up viewings for properties we were interested, always prepared with detailed information and helpful insights about locations we were not familiar with. Furthermore, all of their recommendations on services required for the process (legal, inspections, doc review etc.) were spot on with equally impressive professionals involved. I would definitely recommend working with this team and will come back to them for future business.

We are first time buyers, and Linh Ho from Justin Havre and Associates really made the whole experience as smooth as possible.

Her advice and help was very clearly with our best interests in mind, and she was always quick to respond to any questions that we had, such as recommending reliable vendors for services such as home inspection and condo document review.

Most importantly, she was an engaged and effective advocate with us when negotiating with the seller, resulting in us getting a very good purchase price in the current market.

I would recommend this agency and Linh in particular to anyone looking to purchase a home.

We recently sold a condo with Justin Havre and Associates. Our representative Dan went above and beyond in his service and helpfulness. As we live in a different province, Dan coordinated many of the on-the-ground details. We appreciated his professionalism, communication and negotiation skills. We were very happy with the results and would use Justin Havre and Associates again in the future.

Aaron MacRae was absolutely fantastic. He was motivating without being pushy with My Fiancee or myself. He has a great sense of humor and made the hectic housing market more tolerable. Ten out of ten would recommend. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better realtor for my first home purchasing experience!

We had an amazing experience working with Chris Bauer at Justin Havre & Associates, Calgary REALTOR & Real Estate Agency in our endeavour to buy an investment property. We have the most respect and gratitude for Chris, for his hard work to find and accommodate our needs and preferences, for his professional attitude and patience, which end up with acquiring our best possible outcome, a beautiful and dreamlike property. We hope to have again this opportunity in the future and we vigorously recommend him to anyone interested to achieve its buy or sell dream in real estate. Thank you Chris Bauer and kind regards.

We used Justin Havre and Associates for second time and we are very pleased with the service. We've got a lot of traffic trough our place and we had a multiple offers on our condo! Great job we will use your service again.

Chris Dietzen was amazing! I have never had the privilege of working with such a awesome person. He was patient, understanding, accommodating and just fun to hang out with. Everything that realtors usually aren’t.

The market was so ‘Hot’ when we were looking, we thought there was no way we were going to be able to purchase something that met our needs. Chris was patient and listened to what we wanted, never pushy or insisting that we had to buy something that didn’t feel right and He never made us feel that we were wasting his time.

Chris definitely went above and beyond our expectations and when we are ready to move again, he will be our first call.

Pablo Oseguera is punctual, knowledgeable, personable, and quick to find answers to our questions. He's "our guy" for Real Estate in Calgary and we encourage anyone wanting to streamline a purchase in the Calgary area to contact him first. The day after possession was greeted with a couple of hiccups, but Pablo and the Team quickly contacted everyone and anyone to help solve our problems. And solved they are! Our condo looks great and we're enjoying our spectacular Elbow River morning view!

If I could give Adam Collis 10/5 stars I would, I would recommend him to anyone that asked, he started putting up with me 4 months ago when I wasn't even sure I was going to buy a house. I was looking for a fixer upper and he stuck around for the entire journey, and man was it a Journey. I drug him all over looking at places that where borderline health hazards! I'm talking everywhere from Crossfield, Airdrie, Beiseker Strathmore and everywhere in between, not to mention all around Calgary a couple times. We gave him a pretty tall order to fill finding us a place and he never backed down from the challenge! He's professional, easy to get along with and has a great sense of humor. The deal with the previous homeowners took forever to work out (divorce case) and Adam went above and beyond every step of the way! Even in the 11th hour when it all started falling apart I called him up and we had everything sorted out in a matter of a few hours. I'll for sure be hanging on to his contact info for the next time I'm in the market!

Carol Egan was fantastic for us! As remote buyers (relocating to the area) she took us on tours of the street and went through the house and it's features in phenomenal detail. It really made us fully aware of what we were buying, we could not have asked for more. Excellent work and a job well done.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Brett Sowinski for his outstanding professionalism in helping me purchase my condo. Buying can sometimes be a stressful experience…however Brett took all of the stress out of the process. I was always informed of the progress of the sale. He provided sound advice. Very trustworthy. I felt like he was always acting in my best interests. Completely what I was looking for. I will be recommending him to friends and acquaintances, and Justin Harve & Associates as well. Thank you again, very much appreciated

I loved working with Amanda from this company! She was great patient and very caring. She helped us find our home we are in now and still contacts us to see how we are doing and how everything is going! Definitely recommend them!

I spent a great time working with Larry Arnfinson, looking for a new house with an exceptional outcome. I would definitively work with Larry and Justin Havre's team again if we decide to buy a new house in the future!

Our realtor Chris Dietzen did an excellent job. He wasn’t pushy and made sure we got the best value for our dollar. He was honest about expectations and let us know what to expect in our home search right upfront.

Great realtor for first time home buyers. 100% recommend.

We hired Mark Melanson from Justin Havre's team and couldn't have made a better choice. Mark is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. With his tips and advice, we managed to sell our house within a WEEK! (WOW). He was quick and honest, patiently answering our questions. Mark helped us find our dream home complete with a reasonable price and quick position, something that would've been impossible without him and his commendable negotiation skills.
Our eternal thanks go to Mark, Justin Havre and his team! We recommend him to anyone who needs a professional. We wish him an even more successful career.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Van Gaal and Kristina Dominguez for the purchase of my first home. Kristina made the search very smooth and effective by narrowing down my search criteria to fit my needs and always being available to answer my questions and concerns! Together, we found the one! Scott made the negotiations very easy during such a stressful time and managed all communications and “heavy-lifting” on my behalf. I could not have asked for a better team for the purchase of my first home! I will definitely be recommending Scott and Kristina to my friends and family!

Our 1st house in a new country, cannot be any smoother. Scott Van Gaal is a star, he knows what his clients want, honest opinion, never pushy. He completes all tasks before time. Highly recommend him. He just made everything happen real fast and easy.

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Ryan MacDonald with our fast timeline to purchase. Especially since we lived 5 hours away! Ryan's experience helped make the whole process effortless. He took care of all the details and was always available to answer any questions we had along the way. Ryan is the guy you want on your side when negotiating! Thank you!

May I just say, WOW? Larry, our star realtor, sold our house in 1 day! I am quite hard of hearing and he took the extra time to make sure when he called, to use Facetime so I could read his lips. He went the extra mile.and the results were excellent. Not only did he sell the house in one day, he got a price that was excellent. Kuddos to Larry and all his team. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends! What a job well done!

I chose Justin Havre and Associates because they are well known, large and well reviewed. My first attempt at reaching out was not responded to and I had to follow up. The agent apologized but throughout my experience this was the norm. I would consistently need to request updates and the agent was late to every in person meeting, not an exaggeration. I was added to an automated email list for house listings and very few were of any interest or matching what I was looking for. I continue to receive these emails even though I am in the home I purchased. In the end I found the home, and my lawyer was forced to follow up directly as the information needed was not being forwarded even after multiple requests. It is my understanding that a gift is normal and seeing as I did most of the work I was disappointed that all I got was a "congratulations", I don't actually care about the gift but seeing as I handed them a very easy commission it was slightly insulting. Overall this experience was more stressful than it needed to be especially since I was buying from out of province. I will consider other realtors in any future purchases, it fealt like I was always a low priority maybe because I was able to manage on my own. I am still waiting on a response regarding missing keys but will probably speak to the selling realtor to just make sure things get done.

Professional sales representative helped me navigate through the purchase of my first Condo in a new city, ensuring full disclosure of condo documents and briefings me on locations throughout the city.

We just purchased our first home with the help of Scott Van Gaal and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! As first time homebuyers, Scott made the whole process super simple for us. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and quick to respond to any questions we had along the way, making the process of purchasing a home so easy for us. Highly recommend Scott as a realtor if you are looking to buy a place! Thank you so much Scott, we appreciate all your help and hard work.

Josh was Outstanding! He took the time with me to find my first home seeing several different listings and never pressuring a sale until I found the one that was right for me. As a younger first time home buyer my expectations were I wasn't going to be treated the same as older client but I was completely wrong. Josh was professional, polite and just overall superb. I look forward to working with Justin Havre and Associates again in the future.

I hired Jolene Boyer to represent me on the sale of my house in Calgary and simultaneously co-ordinate a purchase of a new property. There are a lot of moving parts and things to consider when trying to time a buy and sell. Jolene was all over every detail and managed everything perfectly. She was professional and courteous and was available to talk whenever I needed to. I would highly recommend Jolene to represent you and can honestly say that she treats her clients as the number 1 priority.

I first met Marilou Evangelista 6 years ago when she helped me transition from central Alberta to Calgary. I was nearing my 50's, newly single and entering unknown territory. Her soft personality and great humor was the reason I hired her to help me find my condo. While her shyness was prevalent, her professionalism, patience and caring nature stood out. When my fiancé and I found ourselves in the market to sell again we called Marilou without hesitation. I found her growth in the last 6 years exceptionally impressive. Having joined Justin Havre & Associates in recent years helped her to evolve into the leading Realtor she is today. Her shyness disappeared but her exceptional professionalism and patience remained. When we listed we knew we had to target a small niche in the market. More than once she talked me off the ledge with her reassurance and knowledge of the current condo market in a 55+ building. Her persistence stayed true and we are now SOLD and turning the page on a new chapter in our life book. Thank you Marilou - The Miracle Worker, and thank you Justin Havre & Associates. We are forever grateful.

I can't say enough about what a fantastic experience we had with these guys. Mark has been phenomenal to work with. We were very worried about how we would stand out in the market seeing that there were multiple units in our complex at the same time, but he was very upfront about what we should expect and came with a really clear plan of how to move forward. He totally prepared us to put our best foot forward, we sold within our first couple weeks on the market, and the whole process was really well organized and much more convenient then we could have expected. I absolutely recommend!

We were fortunate to have dealt with Derek Thistle for the purchase of our first apartment. Derek is very professional, organized and conscientious, very attentive to his clients. His advice helped us finalize our purchase very quickly. Derek is definitely a great asset to Justin Havre/REMAX First Real Estate Team.

My wife and I purchased a rental property using Holly Dunbar, a realtor working with Justin Havre & Associates. I can't say enough great things, she always responded, she always made time for showings and she always had great advice. Holly never pressured me into an offer and was supportive and in agreement when we walked away from a home after a home inspection turned up something we didn't like. When a property hit the market during the week and we were out of town, we scheduled a showing and she assisted us with a virtual walkthrough. Getting the showing at the right time by her making time on short notice resulted in us purchasing one of the nicest units in the area and at an amazing price. She was great at negotiating and managing my own stubborn personality to ensure we got the right property at the right price; that is no easy task in this market! This is the 5th property my wife and I have purchased and our best experience. For our 6th house purchase we will definitely use her again. Being connected to Justin Havre & Associates also provided a first-class buying experience. There are so many small perks that make the process so much easier than your average realtor, his team is #1 for a reason! I highly recommend Holly.

We loved working with our realtor Kristina Dominguez. She is willing to help her clients in every possible way. She’s responsive, punctual, and understands the real estate market. Kristina is a great realtor for everyone especially those with a discerning eye.

We sold our house with Glenn McCormick from Justin Havre. It was an amazing experience: Glenn sold our house the first day at the listed price! It's the first time we meet such a wonderful realtor, with so much efficiency, professionalism, engagement and kindness. We strongly recommend Justin Havre to anyone who wants to sell a home.

Cannot say enough about this team! Codie has been so good to deal with, even a year after our purchase! Professional, to the point and relevant. The interactions always feel genuine and personal, not like we were just another customer. I will always call Codie first when I have questions regarding my current or new properties.

Angie was very helpful when I was purchasing a house in the Calgary area while living in Winnipeg. She sent videos to me while doing remote walk-throughs, always keeping in mind my personal concerns, and answered my questions promptly and provided honest advice. When I found the right house in Airdrie, she stayed up well past midnight to make sure the deal went through. Angie also put me in touch with a good home inspector, then a law firm to handle the purchase from a distance. She also worked with me to arrange appointments for a relative to do the walk-through and get the keys at the new house since I was still in Manitoba. I also received some emails from the agency which provided good information for anyone moving to the area from out of province.

We were thrilled with our experience working with Angie Spencer and would highly recommend to anyone. Without knowing a great deal about the process, every step along the way was made to be easy to follow with numerous recommendations for contacts and a step by step plan. The attention to detail when selecting houses to view based on initial requests was very apparent and we were always quick to receive a response when we had questions.

Dave was a great Realtor to work with. He was always available to answer my questions. I had a lot as this was my first home on my own. He did whatever it took to find me the right place, right neighborhood and right price. I would recommend Dave to anyone looking for a Realtor.

We are lucky to have met Chris Deitzen during our process of house hunt that we started a few months ago. He is really patient, kind, and cheerful to work with. The best part about him is he has the buyer's interests in his mind. He doesn't prod or push you to make any decision in haste. He is more like a friend to us rather than a realtor. We'd like to work with him in future as well if we are ever in need of his services.
