Why Choose Us?
We’re going to tell you why having The Good Agent in your corner makes all the difference…
A Good Agent is someone that brings focus, calm, and action to your Real Estate goals; someone that is looking out for your best interests above all else
…and If that person can do so while keeping you smiling and enjoying the process… all the better!
What’s in a name?
The Good Agent – A simple, honest, and meaningful name for a team of 3 friends and colleagues, each one an award-winning and very experienced Real Estate Professional, that want to do nothing more but what’s right for our clients.
The name really does say it all. We’re honest. We’ll tell you what we think. We’ll give you REAL advice.
We don’t feel the need to be famous. We truly enjoy what we do and we don’t want ego to be any part of it. If we do good work and if we keep our clients happy, everyone benefits and our success will come in turn. It’s a simple philosophy.
Of course you’ll get to know each of us by our names, but those names alone shouldn’t be why you’re here. You’re likely here because you need someone to trust, someone to learn from, and someone who has the ability to truly help you with your Real Estate needs and goals.
If you’re here because a friend, co-worker, or family member has referred you to “The Good Agent“, then we’re so happy to hear it because it means we’re succeeding in what we set out to do!
Purchasing or Selling a home can be one of the most crucial decisions you make in your life, and we don’t believe you should be rushed in doing so, or make any decisions without being fully informed and educated about the process.
Don’t be fooled.
Flashy cars. Expensive Suits. Enormous Marketing Budgets. – Why are these things synonymous with Real Estate Agents? Are you paying to market your property, or for the agent to market their own name? How do any of those things help you to sell or buy a home? To be honest, we don’t believe that any of those are what make a Good Agent. Don’t believe it? Read on…
We have the tools to sell (just like everyone else!) …BUT we know how to use them
FACT: There is only ONE MLS listing in Calgary. Every licensed Real Estate Agent in the city has access to it and ultimately HAS to use it in order to list property for sale, or conduct a thorough search for properties already on the market. Think of this as a level playing field. Just like winning a pie-eating contest won’t make someone better at knitting, there’s no sense in believing that any one Real Estate Agent, team, or group is better than any other simply because of their outward appearances or efforts to market themselves.
As with anything, it’s how you use the tools that matters most. The Good Agent knows how to present your home not only at the correct market price (and show you why!), but effectively use the best marketing tools and techniques to ensure your home shows as well as possible. In doing so you’ll effectively get the highest possible selling price.
We search for the best properties to buy.
When searching for a home, the big things (price, location, orientation, future developments) matter so much, but so do the other details (signs of damage, lack of maintenance, questionable neighbours, where you plan to work, raise children, etc).
The Good Agent will make every effort to point out the pros and cons of any property and what they mean to you and how they relate to your wants and needs. Don’t be surprised if we talk you out of a buying a property because we don’t believe it’s what’s best for you. Remember the “Honest” part? The Good Agent‘s job is to protect you and ensure you’re making the right choice.
Most importantly, we have to be FAST to get the best properties before they’re snatched up by other buyers. We pride ourselves on our sense of urgency and ability to pounce on the nicest homes as soon as they hit the market. Who wants the stale bread left on the shelf for days or months? You shouldn’t!
Let’s be honest.
Experience, education, being realistic, personable and approachable (having a sense of humour) knowing how to use the tools available, and acting like a good person by caring AND doing what we say we’re going to do… that’s what The Good Agent wants to be known for, and that’s what we truly believe matters in helping our clients.
Results
We’ve helped HUNDREDS of people buy or sell their homes in the Calgary and surrounding area. We don’t make outrageous promises, or set unrealistic goals. When we’re hired, we set out to get you where you want to be by following a PROVEN PROCESS that makes sense, and brings actual results.

Tammy was incredible to work with!! I can confidently say that we would not be moving into our dream house next month if it weren't for Tammy's expertise as a realtor. She helped us get our offer accepted against all odds. Tammy is knowledgeable, honest, flexible, quick to respond, and personable. She always made us feel like a priority and she put us at ease during a stressful time. I highly recommend the services of The Good Agent to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home!

Chris orchestrated an intricate move from Ontario to Alberta, demonstrating profound market analysis skills. He tirelessly led us through viewing 30+ properties, covering over 500 kilometers, ensuring they aligned with our precise criteria. His profound knowledge of Calgary's communities played a pivotal role in discovering our ideal home. Chris went above and beyond, providing invaluable support throughout the post-purchase process. His expertise in market dynamics and customer service truly is astonishing. We're new to the city, but with Chris's guidance, settling in was seamless. A comprehensive professional, Chris exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!"

To say Tammy and her team went above and beyond for me and my family is an understatement. Tammy was supportive and understanding through the entire process. She arranged everything I needed to get the house ready for sale and was incredibly supportive when I was going through personal difficulties. Even if the sale had not gone well, I would still be incredibly grateful. However, with Tammy's market knowledge and skills she perfectly positioned our home and it sold in 24 hours for $60,000 over the asking price. I have and will continue to enthusiastically recommend Tammy to friends and family in Calgary. By far the best real estate experience I have ever had!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
My wife and I worked with Tammy to purchase our first home in Calgary and it was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend The Good Agent & Tammy for anyone looking to purchase properties in Calgary. We were a bit worried since we were still based in Vancouver when we started looking at properties in Calgary, but one phone call with Tammy and we were sure we were in the right hands. We flew in for a weekend and Tammy was able to show us 20+ properties in just 2 days. Her organization, time management & people skills are highly impressive. We were able to finalize on a property and Tammy negotiated a sweet deal for us and we were able to close the deal in just 3 weeks ! The process of buying a property especially when you're not in the same city can be quite stressful, but Tammy made it very comfortable for us & my wife and I enjoyed the whole process quite nicely. I have already recommended Tammy to 2 of my friends and they're both very happy working with her too.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Chris and Tammy as first-time homebuyers, and we can't say enough positive things about our experience. From start to finish, Chris and Tammy went above and beyond to make sure my home buying journey was smooth, stress-free, and ultimately successful. We wholeheartedly give them a five-star review and would recommend their services to anyone in need of a realtor.
If you are a first-time homebuyer, or even an experienced one, and are in need of a realtor who is knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to your success, we wholeheartedly recommend Chris and Tammy. Their professionalism and commitment to their clients are truly exceptional, and they have made our first homebuying experience a memorable and enjoyable one. Thank you, Chris and Tammy, for helping us find our home!

Funny
Honest to a T
Humble
Kind
Knowledgeable
Modest

He truly went above and beyond given the unique circumstances of this sale. I don’t think he actually sleeps, as he lives and breathes the business. I’d highly recommend his services!

It’s been an incredible journey working with Chris. From the first conversation with him to the closing of our house purchase and getting the keys, he has shown an incredible capability to understand our needs, respect of our opinion and choices, make very important suggestions, point out critical aspects of the properties and the locations, and recommend of other partners such as home inspector and the real estate solicitor. His team of partners is as capable as he is. They were quick to respond, very easy and pleasant to work with, and very professional. Chris earned our trust by being genuine, professional, educated, knowledgeable about current real estate market conditions and properties’ values. Thanks to Chris our move from Ontario to Alberta and a purchase of our first house was seamless and smooth. We completely relied on Chris’s expertise making a very important decision purchasing a property without seeing it live. Somehow we were able to see it through Chris’s eyes and trust his judgements. And we are so happy we did. The property exceeded our expectations. It is even better than on pictures and videos. It became all possible thanks to Chris’s remarkable work ethics and commitment to us as his clients. We already started recommending him to our family and friends!
Работать с Крисом было огромное удовольствия. С самого первого разговора с ним и до самой покупки нашего дома, он не переставал удивлять нас своим профессионализмом, умением понять и услышать наши пожелания, способностью порекомендовать именно то, что мы искали, знанием рынка недвижимости и навыками правильной оценки стоимости жилья. Помогая нам с важной покупкой, Крис порекомендовал профессионального адвоката и инспектора жилья, которые также оставили только самое положительное впечатление о них. К сожалению, у нас не получалось приехать и увидеть дом воочию перед покупкой. А у Криса получилось донести до нас всю информацию о доме также, если бы мы были на месте. Он был нашими глазами. Мы очень довольны покупкой и изумительной работой Криса. Благодаря Крису наш переезд из Онтарио в Альберту стал легким и очень приятным. И мы уже начали рассказывать и рекомендовать его нашей семье и друзьям.

Chris and Tammy were a delight to work with. Very patient and resourceful, took their time to find a home that was just right and had a reputable group of partners ready to help. In the crazy environment of immense demand for real estate, they both provided guidance on how to best approach an attractive offer and were always ready to act when needed.
A 5/5 recommendation and will definitely come to The Good Agent for my next real estate transaction.

We had such a great experience working with Tammy! From our first meeting she was very knowledgeable, professional, prepared and down to earth, we knew she would give us her honest opinion and help us find our first house!
We definitely recommend working with The Good Agent as we really enjoyed working with Tammy. She was patient and taught us what to look for at the showings. She was very attentive to what we like and didn't like to help us narrow down our choices. She was very responsive and booked us for showings right away as well as answered all our questions and concerns promptly.
Once we found our house, she made sure that we had everything we needed, checked in on us and even provided us contacts to vendors she knows and trust which was very helpful!
