Brian was absolutely great helping us buy our first home! He made it an enjoyable process and listen to all our of questions/concerns. He was not pushy at all and made time for us whenever we called or emailed. Would recommend Brian to anyone!

Ryan Cariou

Brian was really helpful and didn't pressure anything. He's friendly and courteous, he also takes calls every day of the week, at almost any time of day. He was good at walking us through the home buying process and recommending useful services to us. Thanks again for the help Brian!

Richard Iwaniuk

Brian is a rare combination of someone who is hard working, diligent, and consistent in delivering properties that were in-line with our requests. Thanks Brian!

Brian is a great realtor and a lovely person! He is easy to work with, easy to communicate with and made selling our house as low stress as possible. I was blown away by his gorgeous listing pictures. We had LOTS of showings right away and I think it was largely because of how his pictures captured the house. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to sell their home!

Brian pays for his 5 star reviews. He claims he is 'nose blind', I don't know what that means but it's a scammy way of saying 'if you house has mold, I can disavow it.' He sold us a house with mold issues that I'm almost 100% sure he knew about. His only concern is to close deals and make money for himself. Beware! There are BETTER realtors in the same company. Avoid. PS This has not been a paid review, and I actually bought a house from this guy.

Tara Borle - Mortgage Broker

Brian's sense of humor and positive attitude make him a realtor we love to deal with. He is very professional with his clients and gives excellent advice. Top Notch in our books!

Brian was so patient when finding us our perfect home. We had a huge list of must haves and a tight budget. Brian came through! He also held our hand throughout the entire process. We couldn't have found a better realtor!

Brian MacLeod helped my fiance and I purchase our first home. He helped us set our budget, choose features, and put no pressure on us to buy. We definitely recommend Brian to any future home buyers!

Julie Elford

As first time home buyers we got lucky finding Brian! He was extreamly knowledgable walking us through the house buying steps and always shared a lot of great insights. Brian was wonderful with communication, he responded quickly and honestly to our concerns and inquiries, and he had a huge amount of patience as we worked through our first time homebuyer journey. We never felt pressured to purchase with Brian and in the end we love our house and would recommend Brian for anyone looking for a new home!

Thanks Brian for all your hard work. Highly recommended!

Zach Rix

We are first time home buyers and we were lucky enough to have found an excellent realtor, Brian MacLeod. He helped walk us through all the steps necessary to purchasing a new house and did so with a great deal of patience. As first time home buyers I'm sure that we were exceedingly picky in what we wanted and what we wanted to pay but Brian continued to show patience and never put any pressure on us to purchase a house. He had a great deal of incite in what to look for and what the actual value of a house should be. He answered our calls, texts and emails very quickly and worked around our complicated schedules. We finally managed to find a house we liked and Brian worked hard to get us a price that we were comfortable with. We now have a house. I couldn't recommend him more.

Naveen Saggi

It was a great experience dealing with brain. He is very professional and honest Man. This was our first home what we bought it through brain and he educated us in each and every manner. I strongly recommend his services to anyone near or far.

Allison Bigelow

Brian was the perfect realtor. He worked hard to find us and lock down the house we had dreamed of. He was always prepared for showings and was knowledgeable about property values in the area. About a week ago, we purchased our first home. Brian made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the process. We communicated by text, phone and email and there was never a time we couldn't get a hold of him. He even helped us move a couple heavy objects on our moving day! Overall, Brian was friendly, committed, trustworthy and worked hard. I would recommend him to all looking to sell or to buy a home in St. Albert.

Rachelle Vanguard

I had the pleasure of acquiring Brian's real estate expertise last summer as I sold my condo and bought a house with my son in North Edmonton, Alberta. Brian's suggestion of selling my condo at a marketable price resulted in multiple offers and a quick sale. He was relentless on the search for a house for myself and my two adult children. We were able to purchase the best house that fit our lifestyle. I am very content with the purchase price and purchase of our new home with no regrets! Brian was also very diligent and knowledgeable regarding the real estate market in Edmonton last summer and I trusted him implicitly with any suggestions he made to me regarding selling my condo and buying a house. Everything worked out brilliantly in our favour! I would highly recommend Brian to everyone for their real estate needs as he is clearly a "cut" above the rest with his honesty, integrity and helpfulness to get us exactly what we required.

Merv Graham

After a lot of frustration trying to find what we wanted for a home in St. Albert through many agents who we needed to sign up to their site to review their listing my wife happened on Brian while attempting to sign on to his site. He noticed her having trouble signing in so he contacted her and helped her get set up. To describe Brian takes several adjectives; FAITHFUL describes the way he attended to sending many listing each week; COMMITTED the way he kept to the needs we described and what he kept questioning how the listing were; FRIENDLY Brian is no stuffed shirt and showed sincere concern about us and our hunt for a home; Dedicated as when the summer was fruitless as far as we were concerned he kept at the quest and 2 days before we were to leave for Vancouver he found what we wanted. THOROUGH is another word in the way he worked long hours to get our deal done. Thanks to the efforts of Brian we will be residents of St Albert in Nov 2016. Where others had failed Brian TENACITY FOUND our home and brought the deal to be. The best trait was that through all the trials and tribulations Brian's sense of humor never waned and helped to make a lot of disappointments more bearable. Thanks Brian your a champ in our books.

KY_ DRO

Patient, Personable and Honest. Being a first time home buyer he explained everything to me and made the whole experience very comfortable.

Patrick Brass

Brian did a fantastic job from start to finish. His marketing experience is a phenomenal attribute that surely helped get our previous home sold in a timely manner, no realtor in St. Albert has a comparable system for marketing your home. On our purchase of a new home, Brian acted swiftly when we hit a snag on a different property and was able to get us a viewing on a home that we loved from the beginning of our search but was no longer accepting viewings. In the end we were so happy that we were able to purchase this home. If it wasn't for Brian's quick action and perseverance we wouldn't be were we are. After moving in, Brian has stayed connected with us to ensure there was no surprises and everything was delivered as promised. Brian always made himself available day or night, phone, text or email for all of our questions and concerns. If you're looking for a realtor who will not put any pressure on you to do something you are not comfortable with, will work his tail off for you and communicate all the nuances with real estate, this is your man. You will have a great experience!

William Kiminsky

Brian is an excellent realtor to select.He was referred and glad he was. Brian immediately lined up a number of properties on short notice. And again, when I wanted a second viewing but our schedules didn’t line up for the upcoming 4 days, Brian dropped everything on Father’s Day to attend to the viewing.That wasn’t my intent, yet it was the only time it worked in the next 4 days and Brian was pleased to assist. This house ended being my purchase. An error on my part with financing/possession date also had Brian assist with a resolution with the seller. During negotiations I was pleased with his strategies and the eventual sale price. Don’t hesitate to select Brian to assist with your home purchase.

Edward Milner

When my significant other and I decided to purchase our first home we went to Brian due to his five-star rating. We were not disappointed! His response times are bar-none and his knowledge of the minutiae of the whole process, and what to watch out for, were very beneficial to us. He set us up with some fantastic home inspectors and lawyer and took a great deal of stress out of the process for us. I would highly recommend Brian for your home purchasing needs!

Robert D

It was really great working with Brian. He was quick to respond to our questions/set up appointments, very professional and we valued the advice he gave us. As first time home buyers, he made the experience enjoyable and as stress free as possible. The whole home buying process went very smoothly and my wife and I found a house we are extremely happy with. We are very glad we chose Brian to represent us. I would definitely recommend Brian to others. Thanks again Brian!

Karen Zubrowski

Brian is a great guy! A true professional to work with!

S Warshawski

Brian is a dedicated and conscientious realtor who understands his clients' needs and goes above and beyond in his representation of them.

Doris Cruse

We listed our acreage with Brian Macleod and were impressed with his suggestions of using an aerial video drone service and professional photographer. This contributed to the sale of our home in two weeks. With Brian's assistance we purchased a bungalow and relocated to St. Albert. Brian is a true professional, has integrity, is a good listener, and followed up immediately on any concern we had. We highly recommend Brian Macleod as your realtor!

charles worton

Brian recently helped my sister sell her home, and purchase a new one. On the sales end, he provided a significantly higher property valuation estimate than other realtors my sister interviewed; and he then made that valuation come true, with numerous suggestions regarding staging the property for maximum appeal. He also spent considerable time creating some genuinely spectacular photos of both the interior and exterior of the home, using high end professional camera equipment; and he arranged for an aerial video of the outside of the home and neighborhood, showing the lake and wildlife. The result was an immensely powerful sales presentation, and it resulted in a final sale price of at least $50,000 more than other realtors suggested they might achieve. Once the property was sold, Brian helped my sister find a new property. This involved looking at literally dozens of properties, and an immense time investment on Brians part. At no time did he show any impatience, or try to upsell my sister into a higher value property; instead, he worked diligently to help her find a property that was right for her, at a price she was pleased to pay. That happened, and now my sister is happily relocated into a beautiful home that is just perfect for her. There's no question that she would not have found that perfect home, without Brians endless effort and good will. I've dealt with several realtors in my life, and I can say without reservation that I've never seen such a high degree of professionalism in any realtor. Brian is, literally, the standard of excellence which all realtors should strive to achieve. I cannot recommend Brian highly enough, so I shall now stop trying. But I would suggest that, should you need the services of a truly stellar realtor, you give Brian a call. It will likely be the best decision you'll ever make.

Richard Mcan

Brian did an excellant job. He was up front, honest, and patient. Being away from home often and looking for a year, I was always able to call up Brian and he would speedily set up viewings. He would point out condition whether good or poor to give you an idea of future investments and timelines. Over all he took a lot of stress off and found us a wonderful home.

Ty Smith

Extremely helpful, doesn't push you to buy a place, just points things out that you might not notice and let's you make your own decision.

Chip Dykstra

Brian was the third Realtor we hired to sell our property. He was the first one who actually worked hard to get the job done. He had a marketing plan, and he wasn't afraid to hold Open Houses to attract interest. Our other Realtors had told us that Open Houses don't work, Brian proved them wrong. Great Photos too!

jessica arndt

Exceptional realtor! Brian is knowledgeable and very professional. His patience was outstanding as he had shown us numerous houses before we found the one! He has a high level of market knowledge, and offered us good advice in choosing a home best suited for our needs. He has excellent communication skills and kept us in the loop of what was happening throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend Brian and will definitely use him again in the future!

Lonl Winters

I just want to say, dealing with Brian was great.. Open door. Thanks again

Kurt Engebretson

Brian was fantastic to work with! He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. Brian was very flexible and made sure we found the perfect home. He made our home buying experience very stress free. We could not be happier! Thank you, Brian.

Les Cogswell

As a first time home buyer Brian made sure to take the time and walk us thru every step and never once pushed us to buy a property till we were 100% sure it was the one thanks for everything Brian!

Eleanor Worton

Brian Macleod did an excellent job in marketing my home. He did a thorough description, excellent photographs, and used additional imaging resources because the home backed on a lake. He always sought feedback after showings, and provided that information to me. I found him to be hardworking and I would recommend him to anyone.

Crystal Pajunen

I would highly recommend Brian. He was very knowledgeable, organized and professional. He was informative and helpful during the whole process of selling our home. He responded to call and emails very promptly and made everything easy. I will recommend Brian to all of my family and friends.

Anri Bruwer

Our experience with Brian as our real estate representative, I would have to say was a desirable one. He was exceptionally professional, friendly, trustworthy, and punctual, to mention just a few of his strengths. His ability to market and draw prospective clients in for viewings was excellent. Brian was able to move our home in a timely fashion so that we were able to move on to the next chapter in our life. We would certainly recommend Brian to our friends and family! Thank you Brian!!!

Annie Heffer

Brian helped us to purchase our first home and connected us with a number of people we would need help from along the way. Highly recommend!

Alicia Vervoorst

We just got our keys today to our new home and we have Brian to thank!! He was very professional yet personable during the house hunting process. Easy to communicate with and get a hold of. So genuinely interested in finding the right home for the right price. I am not the only one in my family that has used Brian's expertise to find a home. Thank you so very much for all you have done for not only Shawn and I but our whole family! Would recommend him to others who are searching for the right home!

Julie Morris. Thanks Ryan. Great tips. I

We located Brian when we were here last year visiting our children. He has provided so much local insight on the area. He is always answered our questions and being at the ready to give us any further answers to our questions. It’s difficult when you’re looking at real estate from a far as we live in Ontario. The last few months we were looking more seriously and couldn’t get out here so we had our sons view a few properties on our behalf. Brian was very patient and recognized our limitations. He is not a pushy guy he is in it for the long-haul and wants the buyer to get exactly what they want. We would highly recommend Brian as your next realtor.

Hayley

I have recommended Brian to all my friends and family! Brian was my realtor when I was buying my first home, he made it extremely enjoyable and stress free! Not only was he NOT your typical "pushy" realtor, he continued to show me the do's and don'ts of buying a house for the full year and a half I looked- not once telling me to buy something or pushing me to come to a decision. He was always a text or call away and continued to impress me with fast replies and fast easy bookings the entire time. He seemed to always make it his personal goal to make people feel at ease, calm and happy during the whole process and he defiantly stayed true to that! I will with out a doubt be using Brian for any properties whether it be selling or buying in the future!! Thank you so much for finding us our dream first home and making the process so enjoyable!! Hayley & Marco.

Leif Swinamer

Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with as our Realtor. Pictures and 3D tour were the best I have ever seen and he responded to questions very fast. Would recommend him every time.

Glenn Stronach

Brian is an excellent realtor. He works very hard, he is professional and determined to find you the home that is right for you. I would highly recommend him. The following is an update: I have now, for a third time, had the opportunity to observe, and be impressed by, the expertice and friendly professionalism exhibited by realtor Brian MacLeod. Utilizing his broad background of experience, along with his exceptional photographic skills, he was able to help facilitate the fastest sale of a property I have witnessed. The property, belonging to a close friend, was viewed by the purchaser on the 1st day of listing and followed up with a pending offer, quickly leading to a 'SOLD' sticker. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to either buy or sell a property.

Carrie Sundby

Brian helped sell my place at a very difficult time for me, with what seemed an impossible sale, going up against other units that had not been selling in the complex. Mine was sold within a few weeks. He knows what it takes to get the sale, while maintaining genuine character. He and Sandi were very friendly, helpful and hands on with suggestions, advice and information. I felt supported from day 1. He also does his own great photography and it helped to have his iguide 3D tour on the ad. I chose him because he seemed genuine and honest in comparison to others, I did not want to be represented by someone shady or self serving. He did not disappoint. He handled some rough moments for me during negotiations and did his best to keep me level and reassured. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Professional, effective, efficient and kind hearted, while balanced with a sharp, firm sales outlook, keeping focused on the end game. Do not hesitate to work with Brian. Thank you both, Brian and Sandi.

Rory Bentley

Buying my first home was a stress free enjoyable experience thanks to Brian. He was knowledgable and professional exceeding my expectations, I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to purchase a home in the St.Albert area.

Colton

This review comes on behalf of two parties; both my parents and myself. From my parents; Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with during all phases of the selling experience. We were shocked at how fast he responded after our initial contact, it was within minutes! Our previous realtor stopped contacting us with updates towards the last three months of our fifteen month term. Not only was Brian professional, efficient and responsive but he was on board with a lot of social business platforms to reach more people. Our previous realtor didn't even bother to update the awful dead winter photos. We would definitely 100% recommend Brian to anyone looking to sell their home. We had it listed with our previous realtor for over a year, and when we changed to Brian - he sold it within two months, not even kidding! He really made it hassle free. Now from myself; while I didn't live there I am very very much into photography and the first thing Brian did was scrapped all the old awful photos from before. Brian's photography really helps show off the beauty of the home, and offers more of an experience of what is inside. Brian takes the extra step during his photographic process to show the detail inside the home and the beautiful outside details; and let me tell you, it's not a 2 second process - he is definitely a very hard worker! Thank you Brian for your swift execution in selling my folks place! Much appreciate!

Katherine Landry

After 8 months of frustration with other sales reps and companies, I signed with Brian and he had my condo sold within 2 weeks. Brian is professional, respectful and realistic; and he knows the St. Albert area and market extremely well. Thank you Brian, this sale has really improved a very stressful time for myself and my family.

Jane Berggren

Brian was an absolute joy to work with. He was honest, open and treated our family with respect and patience. This was our first "city" purchase and we really didn't know what to expect. His experience and his client centered approach made this a pleasurable experience. If you want a realtor who respects your purchase as if it was his-Brian is the guy. We will miss our Saturday trips with you!

Douglas Wilson

Our experience with Brian was nothing but exceptional. We felt very comfortable with Brian right from the start. He is very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. Quick to respond to all inquiries. Provided advice but at the same time listened to our wants and needs. We would highly recommend Brian whether you are purchasing or selling your home.

Sheryl Porter

Brian Macleod is my #1 realtor. Brian should be your #1 realtor also - he succeeded In getting my home sold when others told me not to even list! Brian is personable, detail oriented, well organized and a good communicator. He kept me appraised of every step throughout the sale process. Brian was always available if there were questions to be answered. Many thanks, Brian, for all your successful work done on this sale.

Oscar Rodriguez

Brian is very knowledgeable and professional. As first time home buyers, we had tons of questions, so Brian was very helpful to us. I would certainly recommend him.

Heidi Cossey

Brian was fantastic to work with when buying our first home. He is professional, very thorough, and made the home buying process stress-free. We are so happy we chose Brian as our realtor!

Harley Rae Elizabeth Bradley

Brian was very helpful with everything I needed. He was always by his phone if I had any questions, and he worked as hard as he could to have everything done quickly for me. I was very impressed with my experience!

Kyle Ÿ

Brian was a fantastic person to work with, even though he’s juggling other people too, he replies quickly and is almost always willing to drop everything and tend to your wants and needs, he helped us find a great place and has fought for us to make sure everything went smoothly, he has inspectors and lawyers to recommend so you don’t have to go searching for all these things while already stressing about trying to buy or sell a home, there is a reason why this man has an almost perfect 5 star rating, he is fantastic and you will definitely not regret having him as your realtor! Thank you Brian for the amazing service.

Marcy Turner

Brian was absolutely outstanding as our agent. He was both professional and efficient. The advertising and photos that were done by Brian were amazing and I'm sure this is what led to a very quick sale. We just can't say enough. Thanks Brian

Allan Guthrie

Helped us find our perfect house!!!
