Local knowledge
What a good Airdrie realtor should know
01
They compare new builds with resales
With several active communities and builders, they show you what a resale offers against a new build at the same price, including landscaping, fencing and GST.
02
They know which schools serve which areas
Rocky View Schools and the Calgary Catholic School District serve Airdrie, and new schools are coming in Southwinds, South Windsong and Bayview.
03
They're honest about the commute
Drive times on Highway 2 at the hours you'll actually travel, and what the ICE commuter buses can and can't do.
04
They price on Airdrie sales
Airdrie has its own market, so they use recent Airdrie sales, not Calgary averages.
