What the best Evanston real estate agents do differently, the questions to ask, and how we help buyers and sellers.
By Tod Hall and Tausha Hall, TNT Real Estate Pros | Real Broker
Evanston is a newer north Calgary community with family homes, parks and pathways, and quick access to Stoney Trail and Symons Valley Road. The best realtor in Evanston knows how homes on different streets and in different phases sell, what buyers here are looking for, and how Evanston compares with nearby communities. Here's what to look for, the questions worth asking, and how we help in Evanston.
What to look for
What the best Evanston real estate agents do differently
01
They know newer-community homes
Builder, age, layout and finishes all affect value in newer communities. They compare like with like.
02
They check builder warranties
On newer homes, they check what warranty coverage remains and flag any deficiencies.
03
They know Evanston's phases
Older and newer parts of the community, and how homes near parks, schools and main roads compare.
04
They're honest about commutes
Drive times via Stoney Trail and Symons Valley Road at the hours you'll actually travel.
05
They price on local sales
Recent sales in Evanston and nearby communities, adjusted for lot, layout, condition and location within the neighbourhood, not a city-wide average.
06
They stay with you to possession
Conditions, deadlines, your lawyer and the keys, handled without you having to chase anyone.
