We recently listed our Property through Marwan Charanek and it was during the lean period following this Summer. Marwan did a fantastic job showcasing our Property not just through Realtor's website but also through other mediums and we had a buyer within a short period. He was forthright and earnest and was easy to deal with and helped us navigate the whole process in a very positive way and we are satisfied that it was sold at a ...

Around 7 years ago I thought I could buy a home. Turns out we weren't quite there yet. But, at the time I met Brad Thomson. For the next 6.5 or so years Brad patiently sent me listings, reached out occasionally with questions and to offer advice and was never, ever pushy. When we finally got our pre-approval there was no doubt Brad would be our agent. For someone to stick with you that long shows they care. If you're looking ...

I went with Marwan Charanek with First Place Realty for both the sale of my townhouse, as well as the purchase of my new home, and could not be happier with that decision. For the sale, he did an excellent job communicating regularly with me on interest, showings, as well as other comparable units (whether newly listed or ones that had sold). He sold my townhouse within 3 weeks at a higher price than I expected during an economic downswing ...

My husband and I have been working closely with Roberta Gibbons on the purchase of our first home throughout the crazy market. She was so helpful and always positive that we would find our perfect home. With no surprise, she was right! She knows what she is doing and very easy going and professional to work with. Highly recommend First Place Realty! ...

We recently purchased a Home in Okotoks, Alberta through Marwan Charanek and wish to place our deep appreciation for his efforts and tenacity during this crazy period of time of buyers outbidding each other by going obscenely over the asking price. The whole process was prolonged and stressful and it drained every bit of our energy because of the bidding wars. Fortunately for us, Marwan was persistent and methodical and was actively involved in our house hunt even at ...

I consider myself lucky to have met and worked with Veronica and Michael Palin. Their professionalism, efficiency, no-nonsense work ethic combined with their knowledge of the Sunnyside and Hillhurst areas made my experience so stress-free! Michael was able to describe some of the more complicated processes in a way that i was able to wrap my head around it with ease and I am ever so grateful. ...

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Melissa Peters as both my listing and purchasing realtor. She has been more than patient with searching for my new home, as well as making sure that the legalities of all involved with the sale, as well as the purchase, were nothing short of thorough and professionally done. She pays attention to detail, is respectful, but also stands firm and advocates on your behalf. There were a few glitches ...

Brad Thompson is just amazing person to work with in buying my first home in Calgary. While living outside the province I was able to work with Brad virtually for three months to find a place, his knowledge and experience is just astounding! 🙂 He not only helped look at different homes but find the right one! I highly recommend him and you will working with him as much as I did! ...

It has been a great pleasure to know Ali Javad Zadeh and work with him as my purchasing realtor. Ali went above and beyond our expectations. In the current sellers market, my wife and I had not imagined ourselves to be able to find a suitable home within short period of time. However, Ali’s dedication to the business and his genuine support helped us find and purchase our home. Ali was super patient and friendly in educating us ...

We dealt with Veronica and Michael for our new home purchase. We were moving from New Zealand to Canada and both of them were amazing, connecting with us via video calls while we were still abroad, and answering all of our questions about the home buying process in Canada and discussing the different neighborhoods in calgary. They set up searches for us that would send us houses that matched our criteria and it really helped us narrow it down. When we ...

Selling my home with Marwan Charanek exceeded my expectations, what I thought was going to be a very stressful, confusing and time-consuming part of my life was almost the opposite. Marwan’s professionalism and knowledge made selling my home an enjoyable and easy experience. He was prompt and always available for any questions that I had and I felt like I was a priority and not just another client. Additionally, the photographer that Marwan used was fantastic my place out of ...

My experience working with Lionel Sale was exceptional and memorable. He handled both the selling/buying of a property for me - in a complex market environment- with such a professionalism, leaving me with admirations for him. He is always a phone call away and willing to hop into car- even when not convenience- to look up property in any part of the city. He is realtor with exceptional qualities. ...

My wife and I purchased our first home with the invaluable assistance of Marwan Charanek with First Place Realty. With his professionalism and diligence we got the house of our dreams! Marwan worked hand in hand with our mortgage broker and property lawyers to facilitate the purchase while we were travelling; thank you again Marwan! ...

Jinny Jung helped me to purchase a condo in downtown Calgary while I was in overseas. She was very patient and dilligent in the process. She explained very well how the process would go and answered any questions I had as a first-time home buyer. If anyone is looking to buy or sell a real estate, I highly recommend this industry professional. Name: Jinny Jung. ...

As a first time home buyer I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. But having Marwan Charanek by my side in this adventure was the best decision I made. He went out of his way to answer every question I had and was extremely professional helping me find the best home for me. He was very personal and honest throughout my adventure. The best quality to me about Marwan Charanek was that he wasn't afraid to ...

Marwan is an amazing person and honest. He was patient with my house search knowing my wife and I had specific needs. Marwan is very knowledgeable being able to spot issues we would have looked past. ...

Jennifer was great to work with! We were able to view 10 houses in a single day and was very informative about the industry. She handled all the communication with the property inspector & with my lawyer as well, everything went very smoothly! I recommend Jennifer’s services as well as the lawyers & property inspectors she works with regularly! ...

Thank you, First Place Realty, for having great people who listen and work countless hours to find the right place to call home for their clients. Marwan Charanek thank you for your professionalism, hard work, and going above and beyond to find me an amazing home in this crazy sellers’ market! Marwan, thanks for making finding a property a stress-free experience. ...

Marwan Charanek at First Place Realty is the full package. I’ve been thinking for a long time how best to describe our interactions and relationship with Marwan and keep it brief but it’s tricky. He is simply the best. In every way that a realtor can be great, he is a 10 out of 10. I am a fairly sceptical person. I think if someone seems calm, relaxed and fun, he can’t be hard working. If someone is really nice and ...

We didn't even need a realtor. We bought our home off of a friend and I thought a realtor would just get in the way of an otherwise friendly transaction, but I could not have been more wrong. Marwan Charanek at first place realty let us discuss a lot of things on a personal level but also made sure that some of the trickier points, or things that could have potentially been quite strenuous on a friendship, were handled by ...

Greg and Lisa were a pleasure to work with! My condo sold in just a few days, and for over asking! Both Greg and Lisa are patient, dependable and insightful. From start to finish the whole experience felt easy and stress-free with their guidance and support. I would highly recommend this dynamic duo for all your real estate needs. ...
