What the best real estate agents do differently for real estate investors, the questions to ask, and how we help.
By Tod Hall and Tausha Hall, TNT Real Estate Pros | Real Broker
An investment property has to work on paper as well as in person. The best realtor for investment property in Calgary helps you run the real numbers, knows which homes and condos suit renters, understands suites and condo rental rules, and can sell a tenanted property without upsetting the people living there. Here's what to look for, the questions worth asking, and how we help investors.
What to look for
What the best real estate agents for investment property do differently
01
They run the real numbers
Rent estimates, condo fees, property tax, insurance, maintenance and vacancy, so you see the cash flow before you buy.
02
They know what renters want
Locations, layouts and features that rent well in Calgary, from condos near transit to homes with suites.
03
They understand suites
Whether a basement suite is legal and registered with the City of Calgary, or could be, and what that means for value.
04
They check condo rental rules
Bylaws on rentals, short-term rentals and pets, so your plan fits the building.
05
They can sell with tenants in place
Showings that respect tenants, Alberta's notice rules, and pricing that reflects the lease.
06
They think long term
Neighbourhood trends, likely repairs and exit plans, not just this year's rent.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Alberta have rent control?
No. Alberta doesn't cap how much rent can increase, but the Residential Tenancies Act limits how often rent can be increased and sets notice requirements. Check the current rules before you change rent.
How do I know if a basement suite is legal?
The City of Calgary keeps a public Secondary Suite Registry of suites that meet safety and building code requirements. We'll help you check a property's status before you buy.
Can I sell a property with tenants living in it?
Yes. The lease stays in place unless it's ended properly under Alberta's rules. We plan showings with notice and respect for your tenants, and price the property with the lease in mind.
Are condos good rental properties?
They can be, if the bylaws allow rentals and the fees and reserve fund make sense. Some buildings restrict rentals or short-term rentals, so we review the documents first.
How do I find out what my rental property is worth?
Start with our home value request, and we'll follow up with a price based on recent sales near you.
Selling your own home too?
This guide is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Talk to your accountant and lawyer about your situation.
