Richmond, Killarney, South Calgary area ever since. Glen was born and raised in
Killarney attended Viscount Bennett High School, SAIT and the U of C, he still
makes his home in Calgary’s S.W. Inner city. Glen was a proven sales
professional before entering the real estate industry, with more than 20 years
of sales, marketing, negotiating and management experience. He has previously
owned and operated two successful sales companies that marketed Software,
Technology and High Tech Navigation Equipment internationally. His decision to
enter the real estate industry was not taken lightly. Glen is a people person
the biggest enjoyment he gets is seeing the smile on his clients face when he
hands them the keys to their first home. This is much more satisfying than just
selling technology. He loves the product; there is such diversity in
housing.
EXPERIENCE: A licensed
REALTOR within the province of Alberta since 1999, he is still licensed with
Re/Max Realty Professionals, were he started his career. The Re/max Real Estate
brand is the biggest and best in the world and the cross marketing advantages it
brings to his clients are enormous. During his career Glen has received numerous
awards from both the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) and Re/Max International,
most recently the distinguished Re/Max Hall of Fame Award. Glen’s expertise goes
far beyond fancy sales and marketing he is a very mechanically inclined
individual that has personally renovated and repaired every item or system that
can be found in a home in Calgary. He truly understands housing to the bones.
This mechanical knowledge is extremely valuable to his clients as he educates
them while searching for the perfect home.
SPECIALIZATION: Instead of
just specializing in one neighbourhood or Geographic area, as most Realtors do,
Glen specialises in specific types of real estate. Glen concentrates on
Inner-city homes (such as infill’s, older bungalows and the land they reside
on), Investment properties (Positive cash flowing Duplexes, and Rental
properties) and homes ideal for First Time Home Buyers. Glen enjoys creating a
custom marketing plan for every home that he sells. This plan insures that the
marketing is targeted to the most likely buyer demographic thus maximizing his
sellers return on investment
REAL ESTATE AS INVESTMENT: Buying a
home is the biggest investment most people ever make in their lives. It doesn’t
matter whether you plan to live in the home or use strictly as an investment,
purchasing in the wrong location can cost you well over $100,000 in lost
appreciation. When you are educated, Real Estate is the best financial
investment that a person can make PERIOD. Glen purchased his first piece of Real
Estate in the 1980’s & continues to grow his personal portfolio, he
understand the investment aspects of the Calgary marketplace. Glen will educate
you on the financial and investment characteristics of real estate and will

streets, in the best neighbourhoods, all within your personal criteria and
budget.

marketing tool ever invented since the advent of the telephone. Glen understands
how to sell and market real estate on the Internet better than most Realtors in
Calgary. Do not underestimate the power of the internet
