Testimonials

After looking at many homes to potentially purchase – and meeting a variety of realtors – we were exceedingly fortunate to meet Gerard Chiasson who was prepared to show this home with only 10 minutes notice. The professional demeanour of this realtor, coupled with his outstanding knowledge of the immediate housing market, served to guide us through the intricacies of a successful purchase at well within market value. Further, Gerard enabled us to sell our previous home of 23 years in five days flat, at a higher value than we had previously anticipated. We heartily endorse Gerard Chiasson as a realtor nonpareil, and supported by his knowledgeable wife Sherry.

We met Gerard @ an open house he had listed – he was very knowledgeable about the Valley Ridge area & helped us with our decision to relocate back to Calgary!
He was very patient with my husband & I, guiding us through the process of buying our home from long distance. He was easy to communicate with & always promptly returned our calls.
It would be our pleasure to recommend Gerard as their realtor in either purchasing or selling a home.

Gerard got us into our home in an almost impossible market. He was easy to communicate with and was quick to address any questions or concerns we had. He has been in the industry for a very long time and is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend using Gerard for any of your real estate needs.

Few things are more daunting then having to relocate your family to another province under tight timelines without knowing anything about the city or which areas would be a good fit for your lifestyle. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have been referred to Gerard to help us with our move. We had limited time to fly in and view properties so working with someone incredibly knowledgeable, organized and prepared meant the world to us. He sat us down, explained the market and asked us all the right questions. We always had all the pertinent information on houses before a viewing and anything we asked for after was immediately addressed. He was excellent with negotiating the sale, as well as going through the needed inspections. No matter where we were in the buying process, Gerard ensured we felt in control and we were well looked after. We have moved several times over the years, but never have we had an agent so experienced, connected or responsive. Gerard found us our dream home, in the perfect area, in record time. Gerard is a true professional who goes above and beyond for his clients. We will never use anyone else.

Michael and Wanda Harrick

We chose Gerard based upon his wonderful reputation both as a realtor and a great contributor to the Valley Ridge Community. Gerard was extremely supportive to our needs and we were always impressed with the marketing abilities especially during the economic downturn We will always remember Gerard as an outstanding professional and would not hesitate to recommend him.

We recently worked with Gerard to sell our house and buy another in a very challenging market and we could not be happier. Gerard’s wealth of experience, client-first attitude and great communication style were absolutely critical to getting to signed deals on both and keeping things going smoothly right through to closing. Gerard works for you every step of the way and you never have to wonder whether he is doing everything possible to meet your needs, because he’s already doing it! We cannot recommend him highly enough: go with Gerard for your next sale or purchase – you will not regret it!

Gerard has been an exceptional agent and advisor! Communication to clients is a priority for Gerard and he responds quickly. He is very knowledgeable of the area and is incredibly community minded. It is these traits that make him an exceptional agent!

When choosing a realtor it was an easy decision for us. Over our 15 years of living in Valley Ridge we had seen all the work Gerard had done in the community. From kids sporting events such as the soccer wind up, community BBQ’s, and the Valley Breeze he always had a presence. This showed us that he cared for people. The market in Valley Ridge was slow this past summer of 2018 but we knew we had Gerard working for us. His experience and honesty gave us a reassurance that our house would sell. Gerard’s availability to answer questions and give advice eased the stressful process of selling one’s home for us. When our house sold, we knew that Gerard had taken care of us. It was a pleasure to work with Gerard.

We moved to Calgary about 2 years ago and found ourselves having to move again with not a lot of time. Even though the stress level was high for us, Gerard was very patient and did everything he could to help us sell at a price we were happy with and helped us find our new home too. We have moved about 15 times, and it is never easy, but having someone that is confident and connected helped us to do so in a timely manner. Gerard goes above and beyond with his customer service to his clients. I do not think we have ever had a realtor put so much back into his clients as he does. If you are looking for a down to earth person with a great deal of experience and connections, please contact Gerard to help you sell or buy your home.

Gerard gets results! We have bought and sold many homes with many different agents, but we can honestly say our experience with Gerard was the best. He is a pleasure to work with, knows the market extremely well, and gives great advise. He will personally answer his phone and if unavailable he will return your call ASAP. Our home sold more quickly (8 days from signing with Gerard) at a higher price, and with less work on or part than we ever expected. We would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Gerard!

We were very apprehensive about selling our house in these difficult economic times. We called Gerard, as he had already sold several houses on our street. Gerard turned out to be a wonderfully friendly, honest, straigorward man. He sat down with us and we discussed a price that we thought was fair market value. We expected to wait more than a month for our house to sell. Gerard was absolutely amazing. Within 24 hours of the listing being posted, we had 6 showings. The first couple that came through made a full price, no conditions offer. We highly recommend Gerard to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home.

My experience using Gerard Chiasson as the realtor to sell my house was a very positive one. It was clear from the beginning that Gerard saw the true value of the property and wanted to get me the best price possible. Gerard was enthusiastic throughout and always very positive and professional. There is no doubt he was working hard and putting significant effort into the selling process. There was a conditional offer on the house, that I didn’t think would bear fruit, and in the end Gerard has to take the credit for bringing the deal to a conclusion. My house was in Valley Ridge and I chose Gerard as he is very familiar with, and successful in this area. There is no doubt using Gerard was the right decision.

Gerard has been our realtor for four of our most recent real estate transactions. From the very first sale he has been pleasant, friendly and extremely efficient. Doing whatever was necessary to come to a respectable and favorable sale in a timely manner.

We have had many realtors over the past years. None have worked for us like Gerard. He is very knowledgeable, personable, pleasant, positive, flexible and cooperative. More importantly he is a very good listener. No matter what problem may occur, Gerard has a knack for finding an amicable solution without a lot of fanfare.

Gerard has excellent knowledge of the real estate market and works diligently and tirelessly to get results both parties will be happy with. He works hard at getting you the best possible price working open houses until they sell.

Gerard is very involved with the Valley Ridge community, volunteering in several different activities.

We strongly recommend Gerard as a friendly, competent realtor that will efficiently work any listing. He is very easy to reach by phone and if unavailable will return calls in a timely manner.

Gerard can get the job done when others can’t. He puts in the extra effort to make sure that everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend Gerard!

We had the property on the market for over 2 years when we decided to reno a bathroom and replace carpet on the main level. These recent improvements were hoped to make a difference in selling the property in a difficult market for this type of property. We met Gerard in Tim Horton’s one day and kept his card. When we called him to talk about selling my wife was uncertain as she had thought about using one of those realtors who offered a 90 day “buy your home if it doesn’t sell” deals. Gerard was particularly skilled and knowledgeable about explaining the advantages and potential pit falls – he was very clear and so relentlessly wanting to prove to Val that he would make it happen that we signed up that Wednesday. The house was shown the very next day and by Thursday there had been many showings. We took off to BC that Friday – we made it as far as Golden when Gerard called to mention that he had a c/s the property – we were so excited! Our hopes had come true. I chuckled as I somehow knew that Gerard would prove to Val that in his words “we needed the right Realtor” which resonated as we reflected on how proactive and positive he had been. We would recommend Gerard as a great realtor and not a bad chat to boot!

We have worked with Gerard with the purchase of two homes now and both times were an absolute pleasure! Gerard is a professional that my husband and I both respect and we value his expertise and opinion. We went to him for guidance on the recent purchase of our second home which came with a very tight deadline. Gerard really listened to what we were looking for and was extremely patient throughout the whole process; making it as stress free as possible. We appreciated all the time and effort he put into finding our perfect home, which is in an incredible neighbourhood for our young family; we couldn’t be happier! We would highly recommend Gerard to any of our family and friends.
