Sharon & Murray Trusler, Moose Factory, ON Mar-2008
"Murray and I wish to thank you for your excellent service and the successful sale of our chalet, La Suisse. We sincerely appreciate all your efforts and those of Tracy, your assistant. We hope you and Wayne will be able to enjoy the enclosed Storm Mountain gift certificate on one of your trips to Calgary. Many thanks for your good guidance and understanding of how to sell La Suisse. With much appreciation as always."
John and Janet Thomas, Edmonton, AB Feb-2008
"When we decided to sell our condo, we were faced with two decisions:
• How much was it worth?
• Who would do the best job of selling it?
In spite of having owned our condo for many years, and having been in the valley regularly, we, like other visitors had very little experience with valley realtors. We did, however, realize that the market for our condo would likely be in Alberta. We looked for a realtor who invests in marketing where the buyers are……..not someone who sticks up a sign and waits for buyers. The number of “Kim Collens for sale” signs convinced us that Kim is serious about her work. More importantly, Internet searches repeatedly directed us to Kim’s superior website. Kim was responsive, knowledgeable and well researched when she met us to help develop a selling price. All sales material was ready and in place without delay. Thanks again for your help Kim. "
Janice and Chris Sheedy, Calgary, AB Nov-2007
"You have made our purchase in Radium a very pleasant experience. Everything went very smoothly. You are very efficient, knowledgeable, and personable. Your assistant Tracy was very helpful as well. We would highly recommend you to others."
Ralph and Yvonne Jans, Edgewater, AB Oct-2007
"Hello Kim, sorry for beaing so slow, but that is what happens here in Mexico. We would like to thank you for the gift we received it was spent on small appliances for our new Casa. When we listed we thought it would be sold in no time and when that did not happen you kept our spirit up, we felt you represented us to the max, specially the last offer we got. Without you I don't know what would have happened. If anybody needs a real estate representative I would pick you, you became a friend not just an agent. We thank you again for the wonderful job you did for us. Buenes noches!"
Lou and Helly Salloum, Calgary, AB Oct-2007
"Just a big thank you to Kim for her professional assistance during our search for the right condo in Radium. Kim was honest and straightforward at all times. I would not hesitate to call her again at a future date."
Harold & Norma Jolliffe, Calgary, AB Sep-2007
"Over the years we have purchased many houses, and this one was by far made the easiest. Kim was professional, knowledgeable and more than helpful. There was never a question she coud not answer and she worked hard to put us in the best place possible to suit our needs. Can't say enough good things about her and will use her again."
Sean and Kathryn Whalen , Calgary, AB Sep-2007
"Having worked in sales before l wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you. Your knowledge of the area as well as area listings was incredible and we learned exactly what we needed to know to make our final decision about moving to the valley - which we appreciate more than you could know! It was a breath of fresh air dealing with a person with your professionalism and I can honestly say that if we need to buy or sell in the area we will definitely do business with you." (editor: they purchased a new condo development)
Michelle Arsenault and Chris Hunt , Calgary, AB Jul-2007
"Thank you so much for everything you did to get us our beautiful cabin, and helping me with my first real estate purchase. It took a year and a half of searching, but it was completely worth it. You certainly knew what we were looking for, and only sent us the gems that were worth our time and mileage to come out to see! We are thrilled with our new place, and it is thanks to you. We will certainly refer anyone looking to buy in the Valley to contact you. Thanks so much! "

Carrie & Brad Griko, Whitecourt, AB Apr-2007
"My husband and I first utilized Kim's real estate expertise when we moved from Whitecourt Alberta. She was incredibly helpful in assisting us in this long distance transition. Since then we have purchased and sold a rental property from her. When we had questions regarding selling a renovated rental property, we called Kim and she got us the information we requested (and more) in a very timely manner. We have recommended Kim to friends and will continue to do so as our experiences with her have been nothing short of excellent. She is warm, caring, and a professional; and puts our mind at ease when it comes to purchasing / selling real estate. We will continue to use Kim for our real estate needs."
Elizabeth & George Rollison, Edmonton, AB Apr-2007
"We would like to thank you for the hard work and for being so patient with me when we were trying to sell the condo in Radium, It was a stressfull time, but knowing we could trust you put my mind at ease. George and I appreciate all the hard work you did in selling. I have no problem recommending you for buying or selling. Thanks again, Liz "
Vesna Dusevic, Edmonton, AB Mar-2007
"I can't express how wonderful Kim made this whole experience. She turned what can be an extremely frustrating undertaking into a fun and very satisfying one. She anticipated all my needs and I ended up with the place of my dreams. Thank you Kim from the bottom of not only my heart, but the hearts of my children!!"
Peter & Connie Parkin, Calgary, AB Mar-2007
" Kim, we just wanted to express our thanks for the excellent service you provided on our recent purchase of our second home in Fairmont. With our moving from Calgary in the next two months, you took the stress away completely in our endeavours to find a suitable home. Your amazing energy and attention to detail are qualities we must admit that we have never seen in a realtor before ---- and we've lived in 4 different cities in Canada. You went the extra mile with duties buyers are normally left to fend for themselves on, and this was such a pleasant surprise. We know that if we make any other purchases in the Valley, we won't even think of using anyone else. Intelligence, energy, efficiency, patience, and a pleasant manner --- no one could ask for more. Thanks Kim!"
Sandy & Leslie Elliot, Calgary, AB Jan-2007
"The real estate experience working with Kim was just great. There was no pressure and no stress. Her professionalism and friendliness was greatly appreciated. Kim is also a fountain of information when it comes to the valley. We would recommend Kim to anyone for their real estate needs."
The Nicastro Family, Calgary, AB Dec-2006
"It surely was a pleasure dealing with you. Your professionalism & care to detail made buying our home an easy transaction. We would most definitely refer you & use you again in the future. Thank you so much for all your help!! "

"I appreciate everything you have done and can say dealing with you has by far (been) the best real estate experience I have had. Have a wonderful holiday season."
Michael & Jyoti Myers, Calgary, AB Dec-2006
"Thank you very much for the card and gift certificate to the Cattle Baron restaurant. How thoughtful of you! It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you. You handled the sale of our home with commitment and professionalism. We would recommend your name to any one of our friends with pride and confidence. We also greatly appreciated your willingness to look after the “extras” (furniture sale notices) on our behalf. It was all of those little things that you took on, that made life go a little smoother for us here in Calgary. Again, thank you very much for your thoughtfulness. We will be thinking of you when we are enjoying our fabulous dinner at the Cattle Baron! Merry Christmas, Kim and our best wishes for the New Year ahead!"

We appreciated your prompt response to our emails that initiated the transaction. Your assistance with the building inspection, legal advice and contractors was invaluable. In addition, it was a pleasure to be able to view the property, with the owners' consent, several times during the course of events thanks to your arrangements.

Geoff McFarlane, Calgary, AB Nov-2005
"For me, purchasing real estate is a painful process. The time committment is immense and the "details" are a nuisance. Kim Collens demonstrated to me that with professional, prompt and courteous representation, the task of buying property need not be so cumbersome. I appreciated her candor and will recommend her services with distinction. Kind regards, Geoff"
Barry and Kelly Morrison, Calgary, AB Sep-2005
"From the moment we met you, we were impressed with your Calgary business sense and eagerness to succeed. You were a professional from the moment you walked in the door. We especially liked being kept in the loop with the progress of the listing with your web site and your weekly e-mails or telephone calls. Since the sale of our cottage, there have been many loose ends to tie up and they were all done quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure working with you and I will pass your name on to my friends if they have any real estate needs. Job Well Done Kim."
Paul and Dolores Neilson, Calgary, AB May-2005

We have been happy to recommend you as a realtor to our friends and acquaintances."

We always felt supported in finding the home that was right for us, and you were always available when we called or e-mailed. Lon and I would highly recommend you to others."
Rod Gibbons, Invermere, BC Aug-2004
"I want to let you know that it has been an extreme pleasure working with Kim. At all times she was helpful, professional, and keen. One aspect I was quite impressed with was if she did not know an answer she did not try to make one up. She admitted it and then went and found that answer. I have been in the service business for 20 years so I feel like I can recognize service and Kim truly delivers." |
