Gary Brand was referred to me by a co-worker and I was extremely impressed. He took to me to a great variety of properties so I could see everything that was within range. He provided knowledgeable information about condo ownership that I did not know prior to hiring him. Gary was extremely patient, even when I asked him to show me the same place 5 times. Very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to show me a vast amount of properties and knew all aspects of condo ownership that I did not originally think of.
Perfect buying experience.

When I met him he wasn't interested in the acquisition of my house to sell like the other REALTORS® I interviewed, he wanted to know the reason why I wanted to sell my current house, what I was looking for, and my knowledge level on what was involved in the process. He got to know ME. He walked me through the entire process (selling and buying) and told me what to expect along the way. He Told me what to do to show my place, continually gave me updates on what ppl thought and how to improve, help and advice on the negotiations, he even offered to teach me how to fix things in my house for the sale! On many occasions when I was over my head with the process and needed help, I told him that I trusted his opinion implicitly and I have never once thought that he was pushing me in another direction that wasn't in my best interest. Gary's integrity, work ethic, approachability, and honesty have made him an indispensable asset to my plan to upgrade, and when the next move comes along he WILL be my REALTOR®. (Even if I have to drag him out of retirement)
He worked his A$$ off for me. His honesty, integrity, and genuine willingness to teach me as we went. Gary was amazing, he made the entire process go super smooth. I don't know how he could have improved my experience.

Very knowledgeable & always prepared, this made for very efficient use of my time. Patient, a lot of fun to be around & Gary even fixed a few things around my place, just because it needed to get done! The process of selling and buying went very smoothly. I appreciate that my realtor had the knowledge to focus me in the right direction. His experience was invaluable.

Gary was extremely personable and a pleasure to work with. Not only did he patiently walk us through all aspects of the sale, he went above and beyond the call, even to the point of caulking our kitchen countertop and repairing some ceiling tiles. Despite the economic climate during this sale, Gary remained upbeat, helping to sooth the anxiety we felt during the protracted sale period. His sense of humor and easy-going personality made the process much more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise. He was the perfect person for the job and we will highly recommend him to our friends.

Very easy going and precise. Was very helpful in all aspects of the sale. I would like to point out that the communication factor was excellent. We were absentee vendor who was handled as is we were present in Calgary.

This is not the first time we have worked with Gary Brand. We first had the opportunity to work with Gary Brand back in 1998 when we were looking for a home in Calgary. He helped us buy and then sell a 3 bedroom condo in Glamorgan before we moved to Mayland Heights. Gary always looked out for our best interests, and always answered all of our questions. The process of buying or selling real estate can be a daunting experience, but his positive attitude and sense of humor makes the process a lot easier. Gary has been in the real estate business for close to 20 years and it shows. It is very empowering to have someone of Gary's experience and integrity on your side. We would highly recommend Gary to anyone, whether buying or selling.
Thanks again for all your help Gary!

Gary is a true professional who is extremely well organized, respectful, and energetic with a real positive attitude. I found Gary actually took the time to listen to what I was saying when I was explaining my personal situation and personal needs/wants in my first home. Gary was extremely well organized and efficient in setting up appointments to view perspective homes. He was accommodating to my personal schedule, work schedule and transit needs. Gary was knowledgeable and helpful in the entire home buying experience. He truly excelled at his job.
