Calgary real estate agent

A Calgary real estate agent has to learn things like

  • How property is allocated
  • Basic real estate law
  • Business code of ethics
  • Financial principles including taxes
  • Marketing and communications
  • Appraisal and investment criteria

Solid Handshake

A novice can read about these things and view any current Calgary real estate listing in the Calgary real estate news,
a detailed weekly publication available for free in all kinds of public areas.

It can help you find a real estate agent, Calgary market info and various other tips.

Do Calgary Realtors have it particularly good? If you had read the local papers a few years ago, you would have thought so. It seemed to be quite good in other places too, see below. More recently, things have levelled off somewhat.

Maybe you know you're coming but are not here yet. If you are looking for a Realtor, I can contact someone and have this agent contact you. Or let me know how I can help.

Real estate in other markets

In the United States, a Realtor is a real estate professional belonging to the National Association.
In many other countries, however, the term is used more generally for people working in this trade.

I am not a Calgary real estate agent. If you know one who needs referrals, send me a message using the form above and we'll figure out a way to set something up.

If you need to start your own business website and generate good relevant traffic, you need the know-how. Look at this document carefully.

Half a decade into the 21st century, the USA experienced a housing bubble which many of their economists predicted would come to a rude end. The subprime mortgage crisis was rude enough for most people.

Financial Crisis

A bubble is a situation where property prices rise quickly until the people can no longer sustain them through rents or income. Calgary homes have gone through something similar.

We have reason to believe ours may have greater staying power, since it is supposedly being buoyed up by the energy sector in our regional map, and Calgary would permanantly move into the top rung of Canadian real estate markets. However, the outcome seems a little shaky and I don't know if a Calgary real estate agent would agree today.

Maybe we could compare with rental prices to look for consistency and support. Not considering cycles in the market can lead to individuals doing inappropriate things at the wrong time. Things such as adding second and third mortgages just before a crash leaves them with negative equity.

Other problems can include leapfrogging into property much more expensive than one can afford. When the party is over, someone has to foot the bill and clean up the mess. Hopefully not you.

Maybe a Calgary real estate agent can give you some informal advice regarding these kinds of decisions, but that is not really their job. Better to look to Donald Trump, Robert Allen, Robert Kiyosaki, Raymond Aaron or Alan Jacques. They have all written about investment strategy.
