What My Clients Are Saying

Hannah Beatrice Mikkola

Lesley is an amazing Realtor! We have worked with others in the past, so we have an idea for comparison and she blew us out of the water. She is competent, professional, friendly, hard working and most importantly knows the business. It has been a crazy time to buy/sell in Calgary and we were so confident with all of our choices along the way. This was largely because we had Lesley to bounce our idea/wants/needs off of. She was patient with us as first time sellers and made sure we understood how everything worked. To top off the positive experience, we got our dream home AND THEN sold our townhouse in 2 days for over asking. Thank you thank you thank you Lesley for making this crazy experience as stress free as possible. We will definitely be referring all of our friends. Also, she's hilarious.

Heather N.

Lesley is seriously the best realtor in the world! She values your choices and commitment to finding the right home. She worked incredibly hard to make sure ours was the right fit for our family, future and investment. She had our back and tirelessly guided us through our first home purchase while going to bat for us many times. She became more than a realtor to us and we will be forever grateful to her!

Richard S.

We listed our house with Lesley who was very helpful throughout the entire process. Lesley was very knowledgeable about the specific price and value of properties in our area. She worked quickly and was always available to communicate with us. Lesley was able to assist us throughout the sale and had very detailed knowledge of the professional applications of real estate procedures. Lesley was very kind, punctual and worked quickly at finding a buyer for our property. Thank you, Lesley!

Interest rates can shift the real estate landscape in big ways. When rates drop, like we saw recently, buyers may qualify for more, making homeownership more affordable and increasing demand for properties. Sellers could see faster sales and stronger offers.⠀ ⠀ On the flip side, when rates are high, borrowing costs go up, making it harder for some buyers to enter the market. This can lead to longer selling times and more cautious decision-making.⠀ ⠀ No matter which way rates are moving, Calgary’s market has opportunities. Want to know how this affects your next move? Let’s chat!!

In September, there were some positive changes made to the mortgage rules aimed at making homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers.⠀ ⠀ Starting December 15, 2024, first-time homebuyers will now have the option of a 30-year mortgage amortization, and the price cap for insured mortgages is increasing from $1 million to $1.5 million! This means more opportunities to purchase your dream home, even with a down payment under 20%.⠀ ⠀ These changes are a big step towards tackling the housing shortage and supporting young Canadians in achieving homeownership. But what does this mean for the Calgary real estate market? Only time will tell how demand and supply will adjust.⠀ ⠀ If you’re curious about how these changes could impact your home-buying journey, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m here to help you navigate the evolving market and find the right fit for you.

Winter is just around the corner! If you’re thinking about selling your home, here are some quick tips to help you prepare:⠀ ⠀ 🔸 Seal Up Your Home: Check for drafts around windows and doors. A cozy, draft-free space is appealing to buyers!⠀ 🔸 Curb Appeal in Winter: Keep your yard tidy by shovelling snow, trimming branches, and clearing dead plants. A little care makes a big difference!⠀ 🔸 Check the Roof and Gutters: Ensure your roof is leak-free and your gutters are clear to avoid any water damage surprises.⠀ 🔸 Service Your Furnace: A well-maintained furnace reassures buyers that they won’t face heating issues when they move in.⠀ 🔸 Clear Entryways: Keep paths clear of snow and add a few low-maintenance decorations to create a welcoming entrance.⠀ 🔸 Keep the Heat On: Program your thermostat to warm up before showings, so buyers feel comfortable right away.⠀ 🔸 Use Indoor Lighting: With shorter days, make sure your home is well-lit. Use timers for lights to create a warm atmosphere during visits.⠀ 🔸 Keep It Clean and Staged: A clean, well-staged home attracts more buyers. Consider professional cleaning and staging services to highlight your home’s best features.⠀ ⠀ If you’re ready to start your home-selling journey, reach out!

Exciting news for homebuyers! The Bank of Canada has announced a significant interest rate cut of 0.50%, bringing the policy rate down to 3.75%.

Report the Ad: Use the "report ad" option on the website.⠀ 2. Find Reporting Instructions: Check the site’s FAQs for guidance on reporting scams.⠀ 3. Email the Website: If there’s no automated system, email them with details of the fake listing, including links and screenshots.⠀ ⠀ Reporting fake ads is crucial to protect others and maintain the integrity of the real estate industry. Working with a reputable agent or agency can also help you navigate these challenges safely.⠀ ⠀ For anyone searching for rentals, remind them to stay cautious.

Choosing between virtual and physical home staging: Which one suits you best?⠀ ⠀ Home staging isn't just about showcasing a property's potential; it's a proven method to boost its real estate value. According to REALTOR® magazine, staged homes sold for 25% more than unstaged ones.⠀ ⠀ Today, many ask: virtual or physical staging? The decision hinges on individual needs and preferences.⠀ ⠀ Virtual staging offers affordability, faster turnaround, and design flexibility, but may set unrealistic expectations if not executed well. On the other hand, physical staging allows buyers to experience the space firsthand, leaving a lasting impression.⠀ ⠀ Regardless of your staging choice, I'm here to guide you in the right direction.

Where are the best places to eat in Calgary?⠀ ⠀ I’m asked that quite often by people searching for their next home.⠀ ⠀ Calgary has an amazing food scene and offers a wide range of culinary options to choose from. So no matter where you’re looking for a home in Calgary, you’ll find a new favourite eatery in your neighbourhood. ⠀ ⠀ There are popular choices that offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there are those hidden gems that you definitely want to try. When you're looking for a home in Calgary, there’s a list of restaurants that you’ll want to have noted in your contact list.⠀ ⠀ Some of my favourites include:⠀ ⠀ * 10 Foot Henry⠀ * Bridgette Bar⠀ * Notables⠀ * Barbella Bar⠀ ⠀ Check out the most incredible restaurants in Calgary here and tell them I sent you!⠀

Why should you choose an individual real estate agent rather than a team of realtors? ⠀ ⠀ There are a couple of big advantages to going with an individual agent when you enter the world of buying and selling homes:⠀ ⠀ * Relationship: This process can be an emotional and stressful time so having one agent that you know and trust on your side is vital to making the right decisions. Because we will be working closely with each other to help you achieve your real estate goals, we’ll develop a rapport and even a bond that will make you feel comfortable. I give my all to my clients. You don’t want to get stuck working with a team that will have you speaking with someone new every time you need real estate advice.⠀ ⠀ * Total Responsibility: An individual real estate agent is the one person you rely on to get everything done in the right order and with all the proper documentation. If something is missing or there are external factors slowing things down, we’ll both know who is responsible. ⠀ ⠀ Whether you’re buying or selling your home in Calgary, an individual real estate professional is the way to go. Call me to discuss your real estate plans.

Have you been out on the ice yet? ⠀ ⠀ The Lakeview community offers one of Calgary’s fantastic ice trails at North Glenmore Park. With 730 metres of outdoor connected ice track, you can get out there to enjoy the winter with a skate through the park. It’s a wonderful tradition that the park coordinates each year. But get your skates on soon because the ice trail is typically only open until mid-March. ⠀ ⠀ It’s yet another reason why I love the Lakeview community. See you out there!

What are closing costs and do you need to worry about adding them to the price of your next home? ⠀ ⠀ There are so many things to think about when buying a home in Calgary, and closing costs are often overlooked. Closing costs are added to the final price of a home and can include real estate legal fees, title insurance on the property, and mortgage registration fees.⠀ ⠀ Call me to guide you through the homebuying process and we can talk about the steps we can take together when buying a home. We’ll start with your goals and what you should save to make sure you cover all the associated costs, then comes the fun part…finding the home that fits!

If you’re looking for a community that’s quietly tucked away in the west end of Calgary close to the mountains while still being only 15 minutes away from the city centre, then Crestmont is where you want to find your next home. ⠀ ⠀ Enjoy green spaces, walking and biking paths, parks, and fantastic views of the city and the mountain, all in a community that’s a hidden gem. ⠀ ⠀ I love this community and it’s where I made my home for over 18 years. My family loved the easy access to the mountains, and Stoney Trail offers a quick route to Calgary’s south end. Check out the New Calgary West farmers market, a great shopping centre at Trinity Hills, and a Costco only five minutes away. ⠀ ⠀ Visit my website to see more of what Crestmont has in store for you if you decide this community is right for your family.

How does a real estate agent help to sell your home? ⠀ ⠀ The key to getting the most value out of your home is to have an experienced real estate professional like me working with you. ⠀ ⠀ Not only can I advise you on how to prepare your home for sale to make it ready for buyers to envision themselves living there, but I will use all the technologies and marketing strategies possible to give your home the exposure you need to attract as many potential buyers as possible. It’s that exposure that can give you the scenario that every home-seller wants, multiple offers. ⠀ ⠀ Call me today to talk about how I can help you sell your home by putting all my efforts into making you happy with the results.

As a first-time homebuyer, how much do you need to save for a down payment when buying a home in Calgary? ⠀ ⠀ With the average price of a home in the range of about $540,000, you’ll need a minimum down payment of 5%, just as you would all across Canada. But it’s a little more complicated than that. ⠀ ⠀ Any portion of the home price up to $500,000 will require that 5% savings, but any portion of the home price over that up to $1 million will require a 10% down payment. Homes over $1 million will need 20% down. ⠀ ⠀ Regardless of the home price, when you make a down payment of less than 20%, you will be required to pay for CMHC insurance, which can increase your mortgage payment by as much as 4%. ⠀ ⠀ Let’s chat about the plans you have for your new home and we can determine the down payment you’ll need based on your price point. Call me today!

Congratulations to my first time home owner. So excited for your beautiful new condo!!

Why should you list your home for sale with me? ⠀ ⠀ Using my solid real estate experience in Calgary, I know how to get buyers interested in your home, and it all begins with preparation. ⠀ ⠀ Before you list your home, I can go through it with you to identify the areas that need attention so that your home is as marketable for sale as possible. You may have some repairs that need to be completed which may add value to your home. Even minor adjustments can make a big impact on selling faster and for more money. ⠀ ⠀ Call me today to review your home in preparation for a sale and let’s get you top-dollar for your property.

How I Can Help You Determine Your Home-Buying Budget⠀ ⠀ Understanding what you can afford when it’s time to buy a home is a major determination. Knowing what you can spend from the start can help you save time by focusing on those homes that fall in line with your budget. ⠀ ⠀ A qualified mortgage specialist can help you find your financial standing so that you can understand how much of a down payment you can provide, your loan options, and your possible mortgage payments. As your real estate agent in Calgary, I can connect you with a trusted and qualified mortgage specialist who can guide you through your financial situation. Then we can begin your search for the perfect home. ⠀ ⠀ Contact me today and let’s talk about your needs.

How do you know when a home is right for you?⠀ ⠀ Start your home-buying search by creating a list of what you want to see in your next home along with what you need it to include. If the home you’re looking at meets many of those needs and wants you’ll start to feel a connection. That’s when it’s time to make a decision. ⠀ ⠀ Visit my website to learn more about the home-buying process to make sure you find what you need and I’ll be there to help you every step of the way.⠀

Why is a personal connection with your real estate agent so important? ⠀ ⠀ Having lived in Calgary for over four decades, I understand what people are searching for in various areas of the city. But it’s the connection that I make with people, whether they want to buy or sell a home that creates an advantage. ⠀ ⠀ As someone who is passionate, hardworking, and puts my clients’ needs first, I enjoy getting to know the people I help and that allows me to better serve their needs. ⠀ ⠀ Visit my website to learn more about me and how I can help you buy or sell your home in Calgary with the advantage of a personal connection.

Welcome to 2024.⠀ ⠀ In 2023, we saw the benchmark price increase month over month through the entire year due to low inventory and migration patterns. By all accounts it looks like this trend will continue in 2024.⠀ ⠀ I am looking forward to the CREB 2024 Forecast on January 23 where the CREB chief economist, Ann-Marie Lurie will talk about what she is expecting to see this year.
