A resident of Edmonton since 1971, I have been involved in real estate for the past 17 years and have lived in many locations in and around the city including Garneau, Mill Creek, Riverbend, Mill Woods, Strathcona, Avonmore and Grandview….and probably a few more that slip my mind. A former University professor and administrator as well as a classical musician; I spent the first part of my career working with everyone from the Edmonton Symphony to the Big Miller Band. I moved to Florida in 1999 and lived in Miami part time working as a real estate investor and broker. I am also licensed in Arizona where I find recreational properties for my golfing buddies in Alberta. I continue to work in all three locations and love finding both principle and recreational properties as well as investment properties for clients of all ages.
Dennis was a great help in finding us a home – we had established a budget and a general idea of location, but needed help in figuring out exactly what we wanted. Dennis had a lot of real knowledge with every neighborhood that we were interested in and was patient while we searched out our future home, and was practical in showing us houses that matched our needs. When we did find a house we were interested in, Dennis showed a nice balance between guidance and freedom and helped us close at a price we were happy with. We were so pleased with our experience with Dennis as buyers that we didn’t hesitate to have him sell our condo for us. He was always more mindful of our needs than a potential commission and faced a tough challenge in selling our apartment in a slow market – but was ultimately successful in finding us a buyer and a great price. We would recommend Dennis as a buyer or as a seller.

We are very happy in our new home and definitely appreciate all the great advice you gave us and the time you took finding the best home for us. Really, we could never have found this home with your patience.

Dennis did a phenomenal job in selling our home in one week for more than our asking price. He was also very patient and showed us many different houses as we determined what features were important to us as a home purchaser – ultimately helping us find the best value in our new home.

As novice first time home buyers, we were looking for an agent who would walk us through every step of the process. At the time, when the housing market was moving so quickly, few agents were willing to give us that attention. After meeting Dennis for the first time, we knew we had found someone who was going to take care of our needs. He took the time to answer all our questions, without belittling our knowledge. Dennis helped us narrow down a location, provided us an extensive list of comparative prices, and spent considerable time driving us around the city to look at potential homes. With his guidance, we were able to find a home in an aggressive market, at below market prices. His international experience in home buying and selling, extensive knowledge of market conditions, and sense of humour made the potentially stressful process a very enjoyable experience. Since our first home transaction with Dennis, he helped us sell that house,, with a decent profit, and found us a new house in Sherwood Park, all within fourteen days of putting a for sale sign on our front lawn. This during extremely tough economic times, when homes were sitting on the market for many months, or even years. We will not hesitate to contact Dennis again for all of our real estate needs. Thanks Dennis!
