There is no higher level of satisfaction, than that which we get from reading about the positive
feedback from buyers and sellers just like you.
Read some testimonials from past Buyers and Sellers.
Gary and Mike,
I would like to say a big, “THANK YOU” for helping us reach our dream. I actually never thought we
would end up with our first house that is as new or nice as the one we have.
Once again, thank you, for keeping me on track and making sure all the wrinkles were ironed out.
I will be sure to refer your names to anyone that I know who needs an agent.

Thanks for all your help.

Dear Mike & Gary
If we wished to sell another property we would contact you again because:
• You were well prepared at our first meeting. You had already taken pictures of the property
and had it tentatively set up on your web site for our viewing.
• You were realistic in evaluating our property and making suggestions as to the listing price
• You made valuable suggestions in regard to preparing our property for sale
• After the property was listed you stayed in touch with us to let us know how things were
progressing
• Every time I phoned your cell – you answered
• You negotiated a higher counter offer price from the buyer
• You followed up promptly with our lawyer to help get the sale closed within a tight time frame.
To summarize we have been very pleased with the way this whole transaction proceeded. Based on
this very positive experience I would have no problem in recommending your services to anyone. In
fact we have already and it is my understanding that you have since sold a property for one of these
parties.
Thanks,
Cam W.

Dear Gary and Mike,
I just wanted to write this short note to say “Thanks You” for all your help you have been in finding
that perfect home for me.
Your expertise and good advice was much appreciated. Plus I felt you had my best intentions at heart
and not just getting me to purchase. That I appreciated.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your names to anyone who would need a good Realtor to
help them either sell or buy.
Best regards,
Christina H.

Dear Gary and Mike,
We’d like to express our appreciation for the wonderful job you did helping us find our home
in Calgary. You definitely went “above and beyond” from welcoming us with flowers at our hotel
during the house hunting visit, to negotiating with the builder and suggesting extras such as a patio
and basement fireplace etc. The information you provided has been invaluable; you answered
questions before we thought to ask them. You are not only true professionals, but in out seven moves
we’d list you as Number One – Realtors.
Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and your time and effort in making our move to Calgary as
smooth as possible.
Sincerely,
Cliff and Janet H.

Mike and Gary,
This is to thank you for all your hard work in the recent sale of our home.
In our attempt to sell By Owner for over two months, we had become very discouraged. Your
enthusiasm and positive attitude were a welcome relief.
We were both impressed by the perseverance that you demonstrated in marketing our home to your
colleagues and Remax and elsewhere.
Imagine our surprise when you closed the deal only two days after our first meeting. We now realize
the value of professional, hardworking realtors and would certainly recommend your services to
anyone attempting to sell by owner.
Thanks again,
Dale and Dawn R.

Open letter to Gary and Mike MacLean:
Over the years I have had discussions with friends on their preference of various real estate
companies.
RE/MAX was number one in excellence.
When I decided to sell my property, I naturally called on RE/MAX.
My Realtor, Gary MacLean, gave an excellent, honest and realistic appraisal of my home.
To Gary and brother, Mike, a big THANK YOU, for your friendly, professional, courteous manner,
together with dedication and good advice, makes you both a winning team.
I LOVE YOU GUYS, YOU”RE WONDERFUL!
My best to you both in your chosen profession with an excellent company.

Subject: For Sale By Owner
To your clients:
Don’t waste your precious time trying to sell your house by owner. We tried for two weeks (advertised
in the Herald and held open houses) to sell by ourselves. The only ones who came by to see it were
real bargain shoppers that wanted us to give it away. Anyone can give a house away. It takes
professionalism to sell it. Thanks Mike and Gary for getting us a good fair price.
Best regards,
Brenda O.

Dear Mike and Gary;
Thank you so much for your very professional real estate services which led to a quick and
uncomplicated sale of our house.
We were very impressed by the detail and completeness of the initial appraisal and your plans for
marketing our house. Because we also felt that you could provide better exposure to many more
prospective purchasers and that you were more expert in our area, we decided to forgo a guaranteed
selling price with another lister. The choice paid off with the sale of our house netting $7040.00 over
the guarantee.
Throughout the two weeks it took for our home to sell, you were busy hosting ads in the Real Estate
News, and ensuring that our home got preferred exposure among the MLS Realtors. Yet you were
readily available to answer our phone calls when we had any questions and you dealt with our few
concerns promptly.
Your experience was welcome when, very shortly after we listed, you assisted us in analyzing and
countering an unacceptable offer to purchase. Your competent advice in dealing with this and a
subsequently acceptable offer again underscored your professionalism.
We would definitely recommend you to any prospective vendors. We appreciate all your efforts and
wish you well in all future endeavours!
Sincerely,
David and Bonnie D.

We listed our home with a realtor from a well known real estate company, she was very eager to sell
our house and was determined to do it very quickly. We felt she had a sincere and honest approach
about selling our home, and that she would do everything she could in doing so.
Like most new listings we had a lot of traffic going through our home, we figured that it would only be
a short time until we had an offer. After about 3 weeks the showings had dwindled until they
eventually faded.
Due to a family illness, we were focused on other matters until one day we got a phone call from our
real estate agent who had mentioned that our listing had expired 3 weeks ago. She wanted to know
if we would want to re-list after Christmas in perhaps January or February. We never spoke to her
again. We contacted my sister who put us in touch with her friend at ReMax in Winnipeg. He had
referred us to Mike MacLean at ReMax in Calgary.
Mike had called us and explained his approach to selling homes using the Web and his contacts with
other real estate agents. After receiving information from other real estate agents who had noticed
our listing expired we decided that Mike and Gary would provide us the service we needed to sell our
home.
We invited Mike to come by and give us his professional opinion about our house. Mike gave us clear
understanding about what we should list at and why. We had a sale about 20 days after we listed.
I strongly believe that there are some real estate agents that are out to just get the listing and rely on
other real estate agents to do the work. I feel that Mike and Gary are the real estate agents
working.
I would recommend Mike and Gary for selling anyone’s home knowing that they will provide
the service that you would expect from a professional real estate agent.
If you would like please contact me personally if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Blaine F.

Dear Mike & Gary,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in helping us chose our first home.
The service you provided sending listings in our preferred areas allowed us to efficiently go through
and select the houses we wanted to see, without having to actually visit them all or go through the
internet ourselves, saving us hours!
We appreciate the advice and knowledge you provided while we looked at the house we eventually
bought. You really gave us the information we needed and gave us an objective opinion of the
infrastructure. You hooked us with a great mortgage broker, house inspector and lawyer. This was
wonderful as we had no idea where to start looking for these services. Thanks for making it as easy as
it could be and for getting us in contact with the right people. We really appreciate it and would highly
recommend you to anyone looking for a place in Calgary.
Christine and Evan

Dear Gary and Mike:
Our thanks to you both for the great job you did selling our home this past August.
Your approach was tactful and professional in every way. You showed proper respect for our property
and our privacy at all times. And you were frank with us in the advice you provided.
We were referred to you by a friend, and we would in turn gladly recommend you to others who were
buying or selling a house.
Wishing you continued success.
Sincerely,
Sheena and Oscar R.

ear Home Owner / Purchaser:
Gary and Mike MacLean from RE/MAX Real Estate sold our home for 97% of our asking price. We
previously had our home listed with Sutton Group but were unsuccessful in selling. We found there
were too many open houses and people seemed to be just comparing prices.
Gary and Mike MacLean kept the open houses to a minimum, and allowed Realtors only with
prospective buyers. Gary and Mike also assisted us in purchasing our new home.
These Realtors are very professional and knowledgeable with the current real estate market and we
would recommend their services at any time.
John and Melinda P.
