Big John Peterson - Calgary, Alberta

My wife and I decided to use Mark Fawcett as our realtor for the purchase of our first home. Mark had a no pressure approach that we appreciated. As first time homebuyers, Mark took us through each stage of the process and made sure we had a thorough understanding of each step. He was available for showings and always made time in his schedule for us. If we had questions, he would call or text back promptly. We trusted Mark completely, using his connections to hire a inspector and legal services. We definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking for a new home.

We could go on and on about John and Cheryl's level of service and expertise but will try to be brief. We must say they are truly experts in their field! It is evident their advice and strategies are based on years of experience in the Calgary market.
Their task was to sell our current property and help us find a new downsized home. We are extremely busy and had very detailed requirements for our new property and specific timelines. During our first meeting, John asked several questions designed to customize our journey. From how involved we wanted to be, how much information we wanted to receive and what our expectations were. He was patient and thorough. We then met Cheryl and we can't say enough about her dedication to her profession and her clients. We never had to wait too long for a response, and she made herself available at our convenience. We also communicated with Jasmine in client care and marketing team who kept us appraised of the process.
We entered the market during a frenzied period of real estate activity, only to see it make a 180-degree turn. John and his team quickly pivoted and successfully adjusted the marketing strategy. Our property has sold, and we are moving into our new, downsized, home. John and his team were able to find exactly what we wanted and met our timeline requirement. We cannot say enough about John, Cheryl, and their marketing team. They were always at the ready and valued our opinion. They have truly delivered!

The team at Big John's was fantastic during our search for a house this summer. We were first time home buyers and wanted to find a place during a condensed time window. With each step of the process - identifying what we were looking for, visiting homes and negotiating the purchase once we found one - we felt supported.

We worked with Cheryl, who took us through many homes and fielded questions at all hours. We felt that she was very responsive and helpful, which added comfort as first time buyers. The team was able to offer support with home inspectors and real estate lawyers as well.

If we are ever in the market for another home or selling this one, we would definitely go with Cheryl and Big John again. We would strongly recommend choosing them to help you in your home search.

From start to finish, John and his team were personable and professional. John provided us with excellent advice on what needed to be done prior to listing and what didn’t need to be done, saving us a tremendous amount of stress. The photographs were professionally done and provided an honest and positive portrayal of the property. John was patient with our lack of experience, taking the time to visit in person and patiently explaining the various steps and terms.

John took the time to explain the different parts of the process to ensure that we were all comfortable with the decisions being made. We would not hesitate to either sell or purchase through John and his team again and would recommend them without hesitation!

Cheryl and John were amazing! They were clear, honest and approachable throughout the buying process. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in Calgary (especially for first time buyers such as myself).

Such a positive experience purchasing our first home with John and Cheryl in a challenging market, highly recommend! They are extremely professional and have extensive knowledge of market conditions and trends. They really took the time to understand what we were looking for. We were provided with valuable assessments and advice that helped us make decisions quickly. We were confident they always had our best interest in mind.
Cheryl was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an excellent communicator- responses were prompt and she always accommodated to our schedule for calls, showings etc.

Thank you John and Cheryl for making a stressful process so positive 🙂

We recently purchased a Calgary property from our home on Vancouver Island. John made this process so easy for us, not only was he extremely efficient and professional, he was able to put us in contact with everything from mortgage broker, to document reviewers and lawyers. One stop shopping with John. Such a positive experience.

Big John and his team have been amazing to work with! I had Julia Barrett as my realtor. They made the entire home buying experience a pleasure walking me through all the steps and providing options and guidance along the way as well.

Highly recommended!
