TESTIMONIALS

When choosing a Real Estate Professional, review their history!


I would like to offer you some objective information about me. In the awards section below, I am providing you with the awards and credentials that I have achieved. In addition, I have included some references from past clients. Nothing speaks more loudly than a raving fan! Call me today. I would love to add you to my list of satisfied and happy clients!

” George Van De Walle is a true professional, guiding his clients through a series of processes that raise the odds in favor of quick sales. 

 

I got to know George through a business networking group initially, and turned to him frequently for advice while managing a few investment properties for myself and for another family member. 

 

He has always been knowledgeable, completely reliable, and always true to his word. In preparation for a listing, his presentation checklist ensures that when a potential buyer views a property, the buyer’s agent will comment that the property “shows well.” That endorsement is worth gold in the real estate industry. 

 

George has a very thorough approach to reviewing a property from the perspective of a potential buyer, checking for detail-oriented overall cleanliness and encouraging the minor touch-ups that will delight even the most critical potential buyer. Because of that, my property showed as a well-cared-for “move-in ready” home, attracted an early offer, and a quick sale, and quick close, within 2% of the original asking price. 

 

The decisions along the way were always up to me, while his advice and guidance helped me avoid the emotional roller-coaster involved in letting go of a favorite property. I highly recommend George as a realtor you can trust, and one who will work in your best interest every step of the way.”

FIRST TIME BUYER

George was amazing at finding the perfect home for us.  He took his time showing us houses and was always available to answer questions.  We never felt rushed.  It was the first time buying a house and he made the process so easy.  He pointed out things in the house that may not be practical for what we were looking for which I so grateful for!  Definitely recommend!!  

Carole

Return Client

George was very compassionate and undertanding of my needs during my purchase.  He walked me through the process and was very knowledgeable with the steps I needed to do.

I appreciated his profesionalism and kindness.  He was patient and caring throughout the entire process from start to finish!

Thank you once again George for your expertise.

Selling Mom's Home

Just wanted to send a big thank you George for your work and assistance with selling my mother's home in Edmonton.  We were very impressed with your honesty, professionalism and expert knowledge.  You explained the process in a way we all understood including my mother who is 85.  In setting the price, you provided specific information so that when we discussed it, we easily agreed on the asking price.  Your suggestions on minor improvments were greatly appreciated and I think it is telling that we ended up with two offers after only 6 or 7 showings.  You were there to support us through the complete process and we are confident that we received the maximum value for the property.

George during my over 30 years in the military, I have bought and sold homes in Newfoundland, Ontario, Northwest Territories and now in Alberta.  This is by far our best experience in dealing with a Realtor, keep up the good work.

Our appreciation, Ivan, Ann and Mom.

Home of my Dreams

George Van De Walle has been an amazing realtor.  I was very indecisive as to what I wanted in a house and he was patient and VERY knowledgable in every aspect.  After 2 years of working with George I finally got into the house of my dreams.  I have always heard that realtors are cookie cutter but if that was true George's shape is of an angel.  Thank you George and your amazing Team!

I was not looking forward to the whole selling process, I think selling a house is the most stressful thing you can put yourself through.  George and Karen made it so painless for me.  I love George's honesty and knowledge of the market.  I am very satisfied with the whole experience.  I had zero stress.  Thank you George for helping me move on.

Townhouse Purchase

Hello to you George and your team..

I would like to take this moment to thank you all for your patience and professionalism, during what turned out to be a complicated and drawn out process.  Your guidance and experience was instrumental in finally closing off the deal to purchase our townhouse.  It was extremely impressive to witness your calm demeanor as you guided us through all the unusal challenges that at many times, seemed to be a brick wall with no way around it.  It was unforseen how much our world has changed when it comes to buying a property, thanks to covid.  Your experience was invaluable, and I thank you for being available to represent us during this frustrating time that we're living in.  Best wishes to you and your team for continued success...

Growing Family

George was able to show us his professionalism, knowledge and years of experience right at our first house viewing.  We were the first home buyers and we didn't really know what to focus on when viewing properties so George was able to guide us through the process and make it smooth for us.  We are so happy we found him as he helped us find a perfect house for our growing family.  We recommend George to anyone who is looking for experienced, not pushy, patient and honest realtor.  Thank you for all your hard work George!

Out of Town Buyer

George Van De Walle is an absolute pleasure to work with.  

Moving from North West Territories in the year of Covid-19 added one more challenge to finding a new home.  We were unable to travel south to look at options in the traditional way because of a two-week isolation requirement upon return to the Territory.  George worked with us, and we trusted his judgement regarding properties of interest.  He was patient with requests to see rural properties scattered across three counties.  He put together listings of target properties and then also ran through sale comparisons when got to a point of making an offer.  I really appreciated the fact that he was willing to walk away from negotiations if the seller had expectations that were not in line with the market information.

In the end, we did some virtual touring and my daughter who lives in the Edmonton area did some on site visits to narrow the choices.  We bought a great place in Strathcona County without ever having set foot inside.  Buying a house and moving is a big investment, not just in terms of dollars but in time and effort.  This is a testament to George that we were comfortable to trust his judgement.  He is the kind of man who would rather meet eye to eye to have a conversation and then shake hands at the end, with grounded genuine integrity.

I have no hesitation in recommending George to anyone buying or selling.

Realtor and Friend

I was delighted again to be working with George to sell my property in Edmonton.  George's long experience in the industry, his moralistic character, and his genuinely charming demeanour bring calm to what can be a stressfull even for many people.  For both sales, I worried that a counteroffer would scare away the buyer, but George's reassurance netted me more money than I thought the buyer would pay.  He has a knack for understanding the thoughts and motiviations of a buyer and is candid when he believes there's no further wiggle room.  George is a joy to work with, and I'm grateful, not only for his service in selling my home, but grateful for the strength of his humanity.  Working with George may not only net you a sale on your home, it may net you a friend.

We were confident in George to represent us in selling our home after he helped us buy it 3 years ago. George was very thorough and honest about what we could do to help our home sell faster.  Quick easy fixes and a bit of tidying in places we would have never thought of on our own.  He was more than willing to work aroud our crazy work schedules and our 8 month old baby's sleep schedule to go over any details.  We were thrilled when we received and accepted an offer on our house within 24 hours of listing it.  Thank you so much George!

Military Relocation

My family has worked with George representing us in the buying and selling of our family home during military relocation.  George has removed significant stress from the process with his experience and calm demeanor that is so often needed when running the real estate gauntlet.  During the buying process he was able to offer many unique perspectives that a buyer may not notice otherwise.  During the sale of our home which was incidentally during a pandemic he represented us very well and served as an excellent filter between us and potential offers.  After living in many real estate markets in the country George is truly the Agent you want to help you navigate the tough Edmonton market.  Thank you George for Everything

Wow what can we say that has not been already said about George, fabulous, amazing, professional, outstanding, hardworking are only a few words that start to describe George.

When you hire George as your realtor be prepared to sell/buy your house at the best possible price, stress free. 

George sold our second home during COVID-19 pandemic, where the real estate market was not favourable for sellers, yet he made it happen in a reasonable amount of time and at a fair market price.

We will be for ever grateful to George for all he has done for us.

Highly recommend and if you are a CAF member he takes care of everything with BGRS.

Larry - Out of Province Purchaser

George came highly recommended and did some great FaceTime walk throughs as we were purchasing from out-of-province.  Very patient and thorough.  Highly recommended!  Also an excellent after purchase source for reommending local tradesman for little things that needed to be done.  Quickly found us a painter, gas-fitter, appliance installation, and someone to re-stretch carpet, all within a couple days after possession.

First Home - Isaac

I would not have found my condo if it was not for George!  I first contacted him on a Sunday night  and within an hour he had sent me a plathora of listings to look at.  We started looking at condos a few days later which happened to be my busy season at work but George was always very accomodating to my schedule.  It was clear tht George wanted me to end up in a good home because he always told us the good as well as the bad everytime we set foot in a new condo.  After a few months I found my perfect home and George made the purchasing process effortless for myself. George made purchasing my first home a great experience.

Thank you!

First Time Home Buyer Dillon

It was a pleasure working with George Van De Walle on my house hunting adventures.  George is a professional.  He was always honest and truthful with me, no matter the condition of the home we were viewing.  He was very vigilant and detailed in dissecting and explaining anything and everything about the homes we viewed, but was always humble in the process.  George is a very punctual professional and was always very accommodating when scheduling home viewings, especially given my sporadic schedule as I work out of town frequently.  Right from the beginning, I felt very comfortable with George and his opinions as we developed a strong working relationship very early in the process.  We spent countless hours talking about what I was interested in a home and he always made the effort to put my needs first and foremost.   I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision and George was always supportaive along the way.  I could not have asked for a better realtor.  I am more than happy with my new home and the services that George was able to provide.  I feel like buying a home can be a bit of a gruelling process, but it was a piece of cake with the help of George.  Thanks for everything George!

Working with George to find our first home was the best decision we could have made.  With our crazy work ours as shift workers, George was incredibly accommodating, and willing to meet us at all times.  We never hesitated to message him with any questions we had, and he was just a quick text or phone call away.  We both felt very confident in George's knowledge and we are so excited he was able to help us with this next step in our lives.

First Time Buyers

"As a first time home buyer I met with various realtors, George immediately stood out with his commitment to his clients.  He focuses on educating his clients so they can make the best decision, either on the type of home, locaiton or whether it is even the right time to buy.  

Our first viewings were about learning the ins and out of buying a home, state of the market, key features to look for, factors that effect the price, and a walkthrough of the complete buying process.  After working with George and learning about the market, I came to the decision that it wasn't the right time for myself to buy a home.  There were no obligations or fees attached to Georges service, whether or not I bought a home.  I knew I had George's support so I could make the right decision

 With his high level of professionalism and commitment to his clients, and my own great experience working with him, I highly recommend George Van De Walle as a realtor.

"We really appreciated working with George.

As first time home buyers we learned that George is exactly the kind of realtor you want to have by your side during the process. From the beginning he helped us develop our "wish-list", critically view properties and navigate our way through the real esate market. Being first time home buyers we probably had more questions about things then the average persons; not to mention pestering you with all the text/emails. You were great with answering them and helping us understand things better so that we could make the decisions that were good for us.

We would recommend your service to anyone looking for an honest, straight forward and reliable Real Estate expert."

Thank you so much George!!

He was helpful, informative, prompt and without doubt had our interests in mind at all times through the course of our dealings. He found us a very good deal and kept the process stress free.  George was professional, very personable and that combined with his passion and expertise in the real estate market is a winning combination. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Real Estate Agent. Thank you George."
