At this time of the year in Edmonton many people contemplate the possibility of firing their landlord and buying their first home.

The current glitch in the Alberta economy is making some potential buyers second guess themselves. Are you one of these people? Are you wondering if your job is secure? Whether you pay rent or a mortgage, it’s still a commitment you must face, so it might not matter about your job security, at least in the long term.

Situation

Tina need to sell her home quickly due to some life changes, but she did not have very much equity. She wanted top quality advice and results, but could not afford to pay a traditional REALTORS® high commissions. The Ambergate Realty Advisors program was an excellent choice for her. Tina received the very best advice, top class marketing, but paid a fraction of what she might have been charged elsewhere.

Result

How did things go? Our program created 4 offers, we negotiated full market value for Tina and saved her several thousand dollars in commissions.

Situation

Piotr and Alimiada had tried working with a traditional REMAX REALTOR® and with Comfree. In both cases, they had failed to find a suitable buyer for their home in Cameron Heights. They desperately needed to sell so that they could move onto the next stage of their lives enjoying a peaceful retirement in British Columbia. In the end, they turned to Ambergate Realty Advisors.

Result

We put our exclusive marketing program into action. We generated multiple offers and eventually sold the home direct to a purchaser. And the best part? We saved Piotr and Alimiada more than $13,500 in real estate commissions.
