Lana Bedard Reviews

From the initial meeting, Lana and Jamie impressed me with their quality presentation on their business model, including key visuals and statistics. While it was some months from our initial meeting to actually being able to list the condo, Lana remained in close contact to update me on changes in the Calgary housing market. Lana had a challenging task working long distance with me to ensure all the little tasks were handled and she went above and beyond what I would have expected of a realtor. She really managed everything I couldn’t do from a distance. Lana is the quintessential professional; extremely knowledgeable about her markets and always gave great advice, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. As promised on the first day I met with Lana and Jamie, the condo sold...and fast. It sold for full asking price, even before it hit MLS. Lana delivered as promised and has continued to support me in finalizing outstanding details even after the closing date. That is superior service!

<p><br /> Good knowledge of the neighbourhood, very organized. I felt that she could have negotiated a better deal since we had 2 offers. However, in this market, it might have been very impossible.</p>

<p><br /> Lana was an outstanding professional in every way. She knew the market well and helped me price my house correctly. She went above and beyond by helping me stage the house for better appeal.<br /> She was quick to respond and brought some good marketing skills to my sale.<br /> My house sold within 8 hours of listing thanks largely to Lana.</p> <p>I would highly recommend Lana and the Jamie Newton team to anyone selling a house.</p> <p>John Wiseman</p>

We first met Lana, somewhat by happenstance, when were mistaken for scheduled clients to view her listing in Artesia. She happened to be in her car in the driveway while we were writing down information on the "for sale" sign on one of Calbridge Home's quick possession new home listings. She invited us to view the house since she was there anyway. To make a long story short, this happenstance meeting turned into the purchase of our Villa home, yes the one she first showed us, and the sale of our home of almost 31 years all within a 3-month period; a pretty amazing feat under the guidance and partnership of a "pretty amazing" realtor and her ReMax First team! Lana represented both Calbridge Homes and us in purchase of our Villa home as well as sale of our own! Although seeming somewhat unorthodox to represent both Seller and Purchaser, not for one moment did we feel that there was any conflict of interest in such an arrangement. And in fact, this arrangement likely worked very well for both parties (as one party being the home builder) there was direct and open working relationship; clear understanding from the outset, sound and experienced advice in our offer to purchase with little need for negotiation which moved things along very quickly. With her warm report, demonstrated experience and professionalism of her trade, we had no hesitation on having Lana as the listing agent for our home. Jamie and Lana lead us through the price selection and listing process. They demonstrated excellent market knowledge, provided a remarkable sales platform for marketing our home all of which left us with good confidence and comfort in our decision to list with them. Things happen very quickly following that including sound advice on home staging, house de-cluttering etc. and within a few days short of a month, our, now even better looking home, was on the market. Our previous house buying / selling experience had been through corporate moves. The sale of those homes had always happened while away on "house hunting" trips to our new destinations. With that, I set high expectations for Lana; sale of the house within one week while I was away on a business trip. Not only did Lana and team meet our expectation, they exceeded them...sale within 24 hours and at full list price...a seller's dream! Would we recommend Lana as your purchasing or selling agent; in a heartbeat, although we won't be using her services in the near future...since we don't plan to move from here for another 30 years ;-)

pleasure to work with. i have already recommended Lana to a family member. looking forward to engage Lana for my next home purchase. she recommended key people needed to make the process go smoothly , lawyer and mortgage broker.

Lana made a strong first impression and we were not disappointed when we signed our listing agreement. The marketing strategy and work ethic were impressive and demonstrated her commitment to helping us sell our property quickly. On the buying side Lana was just as effective in helping us negotiate a fair price and favourable conditions. Her contacts for moving, home inspection and mortgage lending were excellent too. We would work with Lana again on our next real estate deal.
