Reviews of Jim Mcleod - Royal LePage Lifestyles Realty (Real Estate Agency)

Brenda Michnik

Jim's knowledge of the real estate market is second to none. We have been clients of Jim's for 15+ years and we turn to him for advice and guidance when buying and selling. He always goes above and beyond with negotiations and works hard to get us the best price possible. We couldn't be happier with the professional service Jim provides!

After having my house on the market for a while, I needed a fresh start. Upon speaking with Jim, I immediately knew he was the man for the job. We met in person and got things going right away. The house was on the market for just over a month and it was sold. Really appreciate the hard work and dedication from Jim. I recommend him for anyone looking to purchase or sell their home in the Red Deer and surrounding areas!

Steve Carney

Jim did a great job, no complaints.

I have been looking for a house for quite some time and met plenty of real estate agents during the process. But no one like Jim Mcleod He has been an amazing, patient and knowledgeable realtor that I could ever encounter! He could accommodate my busy schedule and be full of great ideas and an expert in his field. Allowing me to decide on my own pace, not putting pressure on me for a quick answer because he understands the importance of getting a first property. He was very helpful giving me updates of the houses available on the area and provided accurate pro and cons. If you are looking for the perfect realtor Jim would be the smart choice in the Red Deer area with more than 15 years of experience!

My wife and I have used Jim twice to help us find our homes. Jim was professional and ensured that we bought the house that was right for us. We appreciated his knowledge and feedback during the house buying process. We would not hesitate to work with him in the future.

Travis Fowler

We just purchased our first house and after reading through some reviews, we decided to go with Jim. We could not have ended up with a better realtor and I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. He guided us through every step of the offer and kept us up to date with everything that was going on throughout the purchasing process. He really went above and beyond and even caught multiple mistakes made by the sellers realtor. This deal threw everything at us including the kitchen sink and Jim was able to navigate multiple hold ups to get the deal done on our original closing date. I don't think there are many realtors out there that offer this level of service, professionalism, and kindness at every turn. He truly has an incredible sense of humor and made even the worst parts of the process seem fun and effortless. As long as I live in Red Deer, I will always use Jim for future purchases and will recommend him to everyone I know without a second thought. I cannot thank Jim enough for making our dream home a reality and without him, I don't think this deal would have went through. Keep up the outstanding work, as you are truly a step above all the rest.

Jim represented us on our last house purchase. As an appraiser myself, I know he truly understands the value of things and was always making sure we were comfortable in the decisions we were making. He's a really smart guy and his attention to detail was the reason we got our house during multiple offers. Highly recommended.

Brennan Wright

I could not be happier with Sanctuary Real Estate. Jim made my first time home purchase absolutely painless. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions, but after the very first meeting with Jim, he had most of them answered before I could even ask them. Not only did Jim take the time to answer my questions, but he made sure to ask me a lot of questions to make sure he understood exactly what I was after. He took the time to make sure I understood and was comfortable with everything I needed and even took the time to teach me things about real estate that I would have never thought of. Overall it was an exceptional experience working with Sanctuary Real Estate. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Took all the anxiety of my first time home purchase away. I would recommend Jim and his team to any one without hesitation. Thanks once again. It has been 3 years since Jim helped me purchase my condo, and he has now successfully helped me sell it. Jim's utilization of modern marketing on Facebook & Instagam was a great benefit to sale of my condo. Jim was always available for any questions that I had and always kept me updated on any new developments. I recommend Jim to anyone buying or selling as I have had positive experiences on both the buyers side as well as the sellers.

Sarah Gibson

Jim has helped us with the purchase AND sale of our home, and we are currently working on the purchase of our second home! I have personally recommended Jim to a friend to sell her home, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor for buying, selling or both. His knowledge of the market and resale value is completely invaluable and he is truly honest with you from start to finish. He goes the extra mile when doing his research and works day and night to ensure you are happy and getting the best deal possible. Thanks for everything Jim!

Jim Wright

We just purchased our first home with Jim Mcleod as our buying agent. It was a great experience, and he helped us find the perfect home for us. We really appreciate Jims honesty and transparency. He also helped point out things we may not have considered when searching for a home that I believe will help us get better resale value in the future. Jim came highly recommended to me by a trusted source and after finding a home through him, I would absolutely extend that recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. I know we’ll be contacting him if we decide to sell or buy another property in Red Deer.

Peter Heinz

Jim provided very honest and professional suggestions to me while selling my house. He regularly kept me updated on both showings and the housing market. I would definitely go to him again for my future real estate needs.

Ed Larkcom

Jim is the consummate professional for real estate buyers or sellers. In my experience, he has the most comprehensive knowledge base in the City, if not the Province. His perspective on the market and advice has proved invaluable in numerous transactions for me over the past few years. His social media marketing plan is phenomenal. Ask him why social media marketing is important. You owe it to yourself to interview him before you buy or sell.

Murtaza Rizvi

It was great meeting with Jim and getting advise for my best interest.

Jeremy G

Recently used Jim for the purchase of a house. I am new to the city so wanted to choose a realtor than had a vast knowledge of the market and pricing. Jim more than exceeded all expectations, his years of experience show in the way he does business. He will offer his honest opinion based on things like location, list pricing, and resale consideration. He helped me find a great choice of a property, in a great location. He is always available and goes the extra mile with the way he practices his work ethic by being super responsive via email, text, phone calls or in person, and does his daily homework to keep up on the market and all things real estate. It's great to have someone so experienced on your side while going through the significant task of purchasing a home. I would without hesitation recommend Jim to anyone looking for a realtor who's the best at what he does, I know I'll be using him for future sales and purchases.

I had Sanctuary Real Estate sell my first home in red deer with very good results. They have just sold my second home. I was pleased with the attention that Jim Mcleod, my agent gave to assist in selling my home. He were very helpful in giving good advice and allowing me to take the time to make decisions with no pressure. When it comes time to selling my third home Sanctuary Real Estate will be the company I call.

Megan Logan

Jim was fantastic! His knowledge was immeasurable. He helped us find our beautiful home and made the process fun and easy to navigate. His sense of humor was great too. Can't say enough about Jim and our expienrence with him.

Kevin U

Facilitated the whole process and made it as easy as possible. His experience is a definite attribute and would recommend to a friend.

shauna muller

Had a great experience selling our property with Jim! He was very knowledgeable and spent numerous hours making the sale happen. My Husband and myself would highly recommend Jim to anyone buying our selling their property.

Rosalea Glubrecht

Kevin and I had a great experience with Jim. He really ensured that we covered all our basis when looking at the property. He knows what you need to watch for and how to close a deal on a place you really want. If you are looking for a realtor that looks out for your best interests Jim is your guy!

Rob Pratt

Jim has been great to work with as a first time home buyer he walked us through everything and nothing was ever a rush. He took the time to explain and to be sure we weren't overwhelmed. We got our home for much less than the listed price and are confident that him got us a great deal on our home. Thanks for your help jim

laurie assingo

Jim helped us buy our first house. He was incredibly easy to work with which made the whole process enjoyable. He was very honest and up front about everything which can be refreshing when dealing with a realtor. He went along with our crazy schedules and made sure we could sign most documents from our phones. All in all it was a very pleasant experience and we will for sure work with him on the future!

RYAN A

I have sold/purchased multiple homes with Jim over a 16 year span. Jim has always been in touch with central Alberta real estate and is versed in US and Europe real estate as well. Sanctuary Real Estate continues to educate their clients on current market situations and has been a huge asset to our real estate maneuvers. The realtor team at Sanctuary is bar none the most professional and results driven team. If there is any company on my side in a real estate transaction, from Arizona to Sylvan Lake or France; Sanctuary Real estate is the ONLY choice. :)

Steven T

Jim was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in helping us begin the process of selling our home. He answered our questions fully and ensured we were fully qualified to make any necessary decisions. Sanctuary Real Estate is worth checking out!

Scott Deans

We recently used Jim with Sanctuary Real Estate to sell and purchase our new house. With Jim's knowledge and experience it was very stress free. Jim always presented us our options and gave us his recommendation without pushing us into something we weren't comfortable doing. Jim does a very good job of always keeping you in the loop and provides advice and past experiences along the way. We will use Jim again in our future real estate ventures!

Teri Brown

Again Jim has successfully sold a home for us ! He definitely knows the market and the trends and keeps on top of changes! He is a very shrewd negotiator and helped us get a good price on our home. He keeps you informed during the whole process and only advises when asked but his advice is very perceptive. We are very pleased with his way of doing real estate by keeping us in the loop but not taking over and leaving all the final decisions to us with much helpful information. He is completely thorough and detailed about everything and always available . We definitely recommend him as a realtor .

Micheal Terrill

With Jim's knowledge and how easy he is to work with, purchasing our home was a stress free and enjoyable experience. He was always there for any questions we had and to get the deal done in a timely manner. Thx for the late nights and all your hard work.

brian b

Very professional and interactive when selling our home. Jim guided us through every step of the process and explained every detail along the way. Very knowledgeable and honest in both buying and selling sides of the market as we soon discovered. If you're looking for straight answers and honest opinions Jim's the realtor for you. Highly recommend Jim to be your realtor. Thanks again for selling our home

Jim Gross

My wife and I were very close to retiring from our working careers. We had decided that we wanted to buy a condo in Red Deer. A little bit of surfing led us to Jim's website. We read some of the reviews and decided to give Jim a call. The call led to a meeting, and the meeting led to us putting in an offer on a condo unit. Jim's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. He made sure as we moved forward that we were well informed and that we were in agreement with everything taking place.From start to finish Jim was very responsive, kind, and a constant professional. In completing this review we were able to rate all of the things that we appreciated about Jim's work. He had great knowledge about Red Deer, and was very clear as we took each step through the process, answered emails, texts and calls very quickly. We will certainly recommend Jim to family and friends as a realtor with integrity. Best Regards Jim, Jim & Lori Gross

Kayla Sieben

My husband and I were looking to sell our home in Red Deer but as we are a young newly married couple, we have little to no experience in the real estate department. With the struggling economy in Alberta right now, we knew we needed someone who knew what they were doing. Jim spent an entire evening with us at our home going through all the details and explaining our options. He is professional and personable but above all he is honest, and very passionate about the industry. I would recommend him to anyone.

Trisha Pedersen

Jim helped us sell and buy our houses. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism make him really great to work with. He made sure we understood every step of the way and taught us anything we didn't know. Jim was always easy to get ahold of, and got back to us right away when we needed him to. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a house. We will definitely work with Jim again in the future!

Verna Kovacs

Jim Mcleod is a very professional, courteous, person and Realtor. With his knowledge, and experience in negotiation he was able to get the best price possible for my property. It has been a pleasure dealing with him. Verna Kovacs

Amy Eger

My fiance and I used Jim for our recent home purchase, me being a first time home buyer and my fiance being a second time home buyer. He used Jim for the first purchase and I only heard good news about Jim. Everything my fiance said was true. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and knows the market. He was there every step of the way and always got back to us right away with answers for any questions we had. We couldn't have picked a better realtor. He helped us get the home of our dreams! Thank you so much Jim for making this experience painless and stress free, and extremely fun.

Wendell Allen

I would like to share my selling experience. In this tough economic climate I wasn't sure if selling our house was even possible. Jim was up for the challenge though. His experience and expertise shone through and just the fact that he uses many marketing tools to get product out there is amazing. Thank you Jim for selling our house.

Dianne Just

I have known Jim for 20 years. My first interaction with Jim was in 1996 when he helped me purchase my first home. In 2005 he was there for a purchase and sale. In 2013 he helped me purchase a home and again in 2016 was there to help me with the sale. During the last 20 years our Real Estate market has changed; Jim's knowledge, expertise and advise has been a huge asset. Jim always acted in my best interest, he made sure I had the knowledge to feel confident in each transaction. Jim is an amazing person and realtor and through the last 20 years, I also consider him a friend. Thank you so much Jim for everything you have done and continue to do.

tyler lavoie

Jim has been great to work with selling our home! He gave us more selling options then other realtors did and let us decide everything without being pushy at all. He is very knowledgeable on the market and kept us updated every step of the way. Jim was very patient with us and answered all of our questions and being that it was our first time selling we had lots of them! He really goes above and beyond what he needs to make the process of selling easy for you! Thank you Jim!!

Brad Patterson

I have worked with Jim on a number of deals over the years. He definitely knows his stuff. Great service!

Shane&Tara L

I recently purchased a commercial property and Jim once again played an integral role in getting the deal completed. I have used Jim on many different occasions, both acting as the selling agent as well as the purchasing. His knowledge of contracts, negotiations, financing and market conditions truly set him apart from any other Realtors I have had dealings with

Travis Jones

Jim McLeod is a very knowledgeable and helpful Realtor. Jim has helped us find a commercial space for our business as well as purchase our first home. He is extremely patient, very informative and always available. I would highly recommend Jim and Sanctuary Real Estate.

Robert Kurio

We put an offer on our house site-unseen, based largely on Jim's advice. We found Jim to be very knowledgeable about the housing market, and his assessment of properties we were interested in was very thorough. From the initial offer, to the home inspection, and eventual possession of the house, Jim was always easy to get a hold of an quick to answer any questions we had. Purchasing your first home can be a daunting task, and we were glad to have Jim guide us through the process. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Bev Bowles

Jim has helped me buy/sell a home a few times, and it can be a very stressful time, but Jim has a way of making it fun! He is very knowledgeable about the real estate but also all the ins and outs of buying and selling. He took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve in buying a new home and helped guide me to the right place. He has always been very patient and honest with me, which I value very much. And his vast knowledge goes beyond just the obvious and he has helped in so many other ways, including linking me to resources for renovations needed, inspectors, etc. He is also very good at staying in touch and checking in, just in case you have questions and always takes the time to answer your questions. And comes up with some I had never thought of. I trust Jim completely and would recommend him highly!

Simon Butler

Quick sale, great job . Would recommend

Bob Allen

Jackie and I couldn't be happier with our choice to use Jim in both buying our new home and selling our current home. From our first contact with Jim, we felt at ease with him. His plain spoken style, along with his extensive knowledge of the Red Deer market and current market trends, helped us make our decision on our purchase. When it came to selling our home, unlike with realtors we have used in the past, we were given a very thorough step by step explanation as to what Jim would be doing for us. With Jims modern approach to marketing, he focused on the people that would be interested in our property and took care to qualify potential buyers so time wasn't wasted by anyone. Jim negotiated our purchase and sale with nothing but professionalism that only increased our satisfaction and reinforced our notion of having picked the right man to work with. From first contact to finish, Jim was there all the way helping us whenever we had any questions or concerns. We would not hesitate to use Jim again and would recommend him highly to anyone.
