Royal Lepage Foothills

I’ve had good and bad interactions with realtors over the years and it makes a huge difference in the home buying experience. After going on house hunts with half a dozen other realtors in Calgary, I ended up with Royal Lepage Foothills on a recommendation and they’ve been fantastic. I’ve been given upfront advice and in some cases was told NOT to buy because a better deal could be had if we waited on timing. I’d recommend RLFoothills (and have done) to my friends and colleagues.

Well you may know I am on a condominium hunt; and the greatest part of that if you can get past the 25 years of future debt, is the shopping for one.
Today I was with a sales representative from Royal Lepage, a very courteous and friendly guy that was able to show me a loft like 1 bedroom condo in the downtown area.
The property was quite nice; an open kitchen and living room concept with tons of sunlight and it was at a decent price.
However, I just found that he was trying way too hard to pitch using solely him as a realtor. You usually have to sign on with someone and they can do the work for you in finding the right space for your needs. I wanted to meet a few people and then give a chance to decide who I wanted to work closely with.
He went on about communication and how we need to know what we want to buy in a property and used ordering a pizza as his pitch. Although he was doing his best to make things simple for me, I got the concept in the first 5 seconds and just wanted to see other listings I had that day but I am not rude so I did listen.
That took a good 20 minutes and I felt he was too concerned about getting me as a client than just letting me sit with things and come around for myself. Thankfully I had more successful rendezvous later on that day.
So if I had to sum it up, a professional showing but just a little too longwinded for me.
