Art Leslie helped my wife and I put a bid on a beautiful home on one of the most exclusive streets in Calgary. Although our bid was refused Art knew we really liked the neighbourhood. A week later Art informed us he had arranged 3 showings on the same street - for homes that were not currently listed for sale. How'd he do it? By picking up the phone and calling homeowners to gauge their interest in selling their homes to his client.
What Art did for us is unprecedented in his industry. He's not an ordinary realtor. He's an advocate for you and your family's real estate needs. If you are looking to buy a home in or around Calgary - Art is the realtor of choice! - David S
Josh was referred to us by another amazing realtor we had worked with from another Province and being still somewhat new to Calgary we really didn't know where to start. Josh made us feel welcome right away and it was easy to see that we were in good hands. From the start, Josh was terrific as we searched many properties across various parts within and outside of the city to find that perfect home and property for our family. We found a wonderful home at an amazing price. He was knowledgeable, patient, understood our needs, offered advice and perspective that was invaluable, and never had any doubt that despite our very particular requests we would indeed find what we were looking for. Josh went above and beyond, researching information, connecting with various experts, and leveraging his network of professionals in other related areas of expertise who were equally amazing, whether mortgage brokers, legal experts, or construction and renovation specialists. Josh's negotiating skills are second to none as he negotiated potential deals and then the ultimate deal with professionalism and ease always working to get the best possible scenario for us. When potential roadblocks or challenges arose, he found solutions and alternatives and his resilience and positivity was very appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending Josh to anyone looking for a first class results-oriented and client-focussed professional realtor. We felt well cared for and even after we purchased the home, Josh still stayed in touch and followed up to make sure things had gone and continue to go smoothly. Whenever our next sale or purchase of property will be, we absolutely will look forward to working with Josh again. - Eric & Joanna P
Our experience with Josh and Art couldn't have been much better. We were looking for a house in Lake Bonavista to renovate into our dream home and we found it very quickly. I was worried that he might try to steer us toward buying one that was already nice (bigger commission) but Josh really only seemed interested in making sure that we found what we wanted and were comfortable along the way.
We also ended up selling our old house for exactly what we wanted in under a month! - Tom and Robyn P
Art was highly recommended, as a Realtor of choice in Calgary, by my daughter and son in law, who dealt with him on their two properties.
We found him very professional, listens to your expectations in a residence, doesn't waste your time, makes recommendations and knows what he is doing, and is very experienced, for a young man.
He has the respect of both my wife Marilyn and myself, and has a very human approach to his trade, as a Professional Realtor.
If you want a job done right, I highly recommend Art as your realtor. - Harold & Marilyn Lavack
