Gordon Hoglund Reviews

We used this guy to buy our first home in Calgary. Having not been in the country more than a number of months, we trusted him to guide us and all went well. It was a very different story when we came to sell our home some years later! We engaged his services again with the confidence that he was trustworthy and credible - big mistake! He had his own agenda, as we learned to our detriment when we were in too deep to run. Yes, he sold our house, but everything about the process was tinged by his underhanded behavior. Ultimately we had to leave the country before the terms of the sale were completed as the alternative was to cancel costly flights and endeavor to reschedule important work commitments. On the day we left Canada, the new owner was moving into the house before completing the purchase of the property. Meanwhile, Mr Hoglund was nowhere to be found to offer us any form of advice, information or reassurance. The single call he did pick up was condescending and nasty. This guy was only interested in climbing the professional ladder, making quick bucks and beating the rival he regularly mentioned in property sales. He is not trustworthy and goes underground at the first sign of a problem. He also takes advantage of a non-Canadian person's lack of knowledge of the intricacies of the Canadian property market.

<p>Gordon<br /> I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf for the sale of our home in Mahogany.<br /> I will completely go on the record and state that I am hard to work for. I am demanding, interfering, annoying and can be set in my ways. We had a few expected bumps during the process but I am pleased to say Gordon worked with me from the start and we developed a great relationship for the sale of our home. We were relocated to Kamloops due to a job offer, and because of the quick turn around to get the house up and on the market, Gordon directly worked with us to take care of deficiencies and completed some repairs himself. Gordon also line up trades to complete required repairs and also set up us with a designing/staging company which was a huge help with the sale of the house. Communication was never an issue as Gordon was always available to us and a let us know when he was away. We knew that the Calgary Market place was tight and extremely competitive and Gordon gave us the direction and market evaluation that would ensure a quick and fair sale. I am happy to report that our house sold and closed within 40 days of the listing date. This is extortionary feat given the market conditions at the time. I believe this was a combination of a good product (top valued house for the price point) and Gordon’s hard work staging, marketing and educating the buyers of the house’s value and desirable location. Gordon always had a showings booked and gave our house continuous market exposure.<br /> I would like to state, that Gordon was and is an outstanding Realtor for us during our house sale and closing. I would only recommend Gordon for a Realtor in the Calgary market place.</p> <p><br /> I would only call Gordon for any future real-estate requirements.<br /> Again, thank you for all your hard work and help you gave us during our house sale.<br /> Please use Lisa and me for references anytime.<br /> All the best to you<br /> Cheers<br /> Greg Reid<br /><br /> Kind Regards,</p> <p>Greg Reid<br /> Project Manager</p>

Gordon was great, he showed me a number of suitable places within my price range. He was aware and informative on condo policies and many other questions I had.. He helped me purchase my first home.
