We were particularly impressed by The Esposito Team’s exceptional market knowledge. They demonstrated it through their accurate assessment of property values and ability to navigate complex market trends.
Beyond this expertise, the team’s negotiation skills are particularly noteworthy. According to our research, they consistently secure favorable terms for their clients, even in highly competitive markets.
Their innovative marketing strategies effectively showcase properties to a wide audience. These include high-quality photography and leveraging digital platforms. As a result, home sellers market their properties with ease.
Furthermore, The Esposito Team cultivates strong client relationships through a personalized and attentive approach. For instance, they provide valuable insights into neighborhood dynamics, construction quality, and potential investment opportunities.
However, their popularity sometimes leads to scheduling challenges during peak seasons, typically from April to August. Clients seeking immediate availability may need to be proactive in securing appointments. Despite this, their client-first attitude far outweighs this drawback.
Provides necessary advice and strategy
“Once again, Joe Esposito proves why he is our trusted realtor. His knowledge and expert advice on how best to prepare our home for maximum value was spot on. We were able to achieve full ask based on his recommendations in conjunction with his innovative marketing plan. He effectively removes the emotion from this process providing the necessary advice and strategy based on business intelligence and data. He estimated the value of our home almost $300K more than another well-marketed realtor we asked for an evaluation from for comparison – an indication of the difference in experience. We highly recommend Joe and his team!

| ADDRESS | 11150 Jasper Ave #505 |
| CONTACT DETAILS | +15874150804 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday - Sunday: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM |
What sets Elevate Realty Group apart from other realtors is their communication. Clients appreciate consistent updates via phone, email, or text, ensuring they are always in the loop.
Their seamless communication also benefits clients who are out of town or unable to meet in person. They offer virtual tours for easier access, which is something we appreciate.
Our findings also show that the group excels at maximizing property value. For sellers, they provide research-driven guidance to determine the optimal asking price. In fact, one client shared that their strategy led to multiple offers and a final sale well above the asking price.
First-time clients also commend the group’s service, transforming what can be an overwhelming process into a more enjoyable experience. They start by clearly explaining complex jargon, empowering clients to make informed decisions and better understand each stage.
However, there are instances where they may miss crucial information in listings. For instance, one client was frustrated to find out after inquiring that the property had a strict no-pet policy, which was not mentioned in the listing.
Incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the process
“Our realtor Marlise Alves was incredibly supportive and helpful through the whole process. Made the biggest financial decision of our lives easier to make, and also made looking at homes a fun experience”

| OPERATING HOURS | Monday - Sunday: 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM |
What we appreciate most about Haven Real Estate is their all-in-one service, made possible by a strong network of consultants readily available for assistance.
This network typically includes inspectors and mortgage advisors, ensuring a stress-free process for clients. While these professionals are not in-house experts, Haven Real Estate facilitates connections with trusted providers who can help streamline the processes.
Their client-focused approach aligns with our standards. We value that they provide insights from a construction perspective—evaluating a property based on structural integrity, quality of materials, and more—to help assign a fair market value for home sellers.
We were impressed by their punctuality in service execution. By staying on top of deadlines and promptly handling paperwork, they give home sellers the confidence to secure multiple offers with ease.
They also simplify the process for first-time buyers with their quick response to inquiries. Clients also noted that the team’s engaging personalities foster productive collaboration.
Just take note that the initial consultation can be difficult to book, especially during peak seasons. These typically occur in spring and summer, particularly in June, July, and August.
Makes stressful processes easy and fun
“My partner and I contacted Deidre as a referral from a friend and after our initial consultation we knew we would want to use her as our realtor. Deidre is kind and knowledgeable and made the very stressful and emotional process of selling and buying a house easy and fun (I literally want to be her friend). We always felt she had our back and our best interest in mind; she never pressured us into a decision we weren’t ready to make; and she was direct about any issues or flaws in a home she thought we might run into. She is the absolute best. If we were to ever need a realtor again or if anyone we knew needed a realtor, we would suggest her in a heartbeat”

Personable and professional team
“Amber was phenomenal! She’s personable and professional and lovely to deal with. She was always quick to respond and get anything we needed done in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! Not to mention the frequent messages from her checking in to make sure everything in our new home is going well! I truly believe having Amber as our realtor made the experience as positive as it was! She’s the best hands down!”

| CONTACT DETAILS | +17809938036 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday - Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM |
What sets Black Sheep Realty apart is their emphasis on having a long-term relationship with their clients, as evidenced by their track record. We found this valuable, as many clients may buy or sell homes multiple times.
We were impressed with how their ability to maximize property value, often attracting a substantial number of potential buyers. Homes are often presented with high-quality photos, which further appeal to a wide range of buyers.
They also handle everything from legal paperwork signings to referrals and even working with trusted mortgage brokers. For example, they assist with contracts and connect buyers with reputable lenders.
They’re also a great choice for non-English speakers, with realtors fluent in multiple languages, including French and German. This helps them cater to a wider, more diverse clientele.
But like other top realtors, they can be difficult to hire during high-demand seasons in June, July, and August. It’s best to contact them months ahead.
Knowledgeable and great to deal with
“Thomas assisted us in purchasing our first home. He was great to deal with and provided lots of good advice in the entire purchasing process. I highly recommend Thomas if you are looking for a realtor!”

“Zach and I have known eachother since high-school and even went to College together at NAIT. We ended up taking the carpentry program together around 2012 and he has since been doing carpentry projects on and off throughout Edmonton. Not only does Zach have the personality for being in the realtor industry, but he is professional, caring and truly treats you like family. He has the skill and wherewithal to complete any project or get you into your dream home”

5. The Foundry Real Estate Co.
| Title | Info |
|---|---|
| WEBSITE | http://www.thefoundryrealestateco.com/ |
| ADDRESS | 9411 98 Ave NW #3 |
| CONTACT DETAILS | +15875233267 |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday - Friday : 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM |
One of the things that attracted us to The Foundry Real Estate Co. is their flexibility. In particular, they can accommodate last-minute showings. This is especially helpful for home sellers with tight schedules.
They also tailor their marketing depending on the client’s needs. They offer comprehensive services like virtual suits, top-notch photography, and signage. Their wide range of marketing solutions helps sellers attract potential buyers.
We also found that they have exclusive access to new listings before they hit the market, giving their clients a significant advantage. Additionally, they have a robust support system, offering advice on everything from market trends to negotiating the best price.
Clients noted that the team was highly transparent and never left them in the dark. The firm ensures transparency by clearly explaining the process and being readily available to answer questions.
The only downside is an instance where a home sold for less than the client had originally wanted. Fortunately, this was an isolated case, though we recommend staying in the loop with them when selling your home.
Very responsive and easy to deal with
“Appreciated working with Jordan Clarke on our deal. Very responsive and easy to deal with. Will highly recommend dealing with him. Ricky Chowdhury, Century 21 All Stars Realty”

Provides honest and prompt communication
“Our search for “home” was not short. It took over a year of searching, finding “the home” and then waiting another year for it to come back onto the market! It was a unique search that took patience and much of Lauren’s time. She was open and honest with our expectations and ultimately helped us get an incredible deal. We are so happy that we ended up with our “dream home” that we prayed earnestly for! We are thankful for the endurance Lauren has to not settle and help us find exactly what we were looking for. She is a prompt communicator and readily available for both appointments and answering questions. We are so thankful for her!”
