Oleg Ep. February 16th 2021 Dear John and team, We would like to express our gratitude to you for handling the listing and sale of our property in such a short period of time, especially considering these difficult economic times, the covid pandemic, and the fact that our house is tenant occupied. The listing became active on Feb 2nd; 3 offers were presented and the best one with the offer above asking price was accepted on Feb 5th with the conditions removed on Feb 12th. Your marketing strategy delivered results even faster than you indicated at our initial meeting. In our past experiences of selling houses, we have never had such a remarkable result in which you and your team have delivered as promised. In all four categories of competency, knowledge , communication, and personal experience, we believe without any reservation that you and your team earned a rating of five stars. We will no doubt expect the same level of service from you and your team from now on until this transaction closes and the ownership will be transferred to the new owner. We will be more then happy to provide references to anyone seeking a realtor to attend to their real estate needs. Thank you! Kind regards Oleg and Fiona 5.0000 5

Heidi and Dan July 13th 2020 After discussions with several Realtors, we decided to list our home with Big John Peterson’s team. It was the best decision we could have made. John and his team, especially Cheryl were tremendous. The process was simple. They handled everything for us, i.e. the pictures, video, surveyor’s certificate, lawyers…and all the other details. John and Cheryl were thorough, professional, attentive and courteous. John is a great negotiator who acted solely on our behalf. We had an offer the day after the listing went live and it closed in 2 weeks. We highly recommend you use Big John’s team when you decide to list and sell your home. 5.0000 5

Dave and Cheryl were great support, and were there to assist us when needed. From the first meeting with John, we felt confident listing our home with him. We understood when we listed, we were faced with a terrible economy, but never dreamed, we would encounter a worldwide viral pandemic midway! Big John's many years of experience, knowledge and professionalism guided us thru a couple of ups and downs, but in the end got our house SOLD for top dollar, in today's economy. We can confidently say, that we will recommend Big John to all our family and friends, for all their future real estate needs! 5.0000 5

Michael Tenszen July 28th 2019 Deciding to sell our home in a terrible economy and a buyer’s market was probably not the best decision but we knew we would need someone with the experience to get us through it.

They were amazing throughout the entire process, answering all our calls and questions in a timely manner, providing regular updates and although we didn't realize it at the time, guiding us through this very emotional process in a non-emotional manner. If you're looking for someone that has been through the good times and the bad times and is still going strong, Big John is your man! 5.0000 5

Anne & Chris - Calgary April 10th 2019 Big John was great, he is a true Professional and his Team were very helpful. We had another Realtor prior to John, who produced very little results. All he wanted was to reduce the Price time and time again. It would appear that he did not have an extensive marketing campaign whatsoever as we have very few Showings. Big John was highly recommend to us by our Movers and from the first time we met him we new he was the Realtor that would do a great job for us. Big John has a very extensive marketing campaign which paid off with the number of Showings, which resulted in us Selling our House. Given the market conditions in the Calgary Market, Big John is amazing in delivering results. Over the years we have brought and Sold several houses in the Calgary area and by far, Big John is the best Realtor we have ever had. We would without doubt highly recommend Big John to any person who is interested in Selling their house, he is a wonderful guy along with his Team. 5.0000 5

Cameron R March 18th 2019 John and his team have helped us sell and buy 3 houses and 2 rental condos in the Calgary market. Our last house sale in February of this year was the one that concerned us the most as the housing market is not great for sellers and prices are severely depressed, however an opportunity existed that we didn’t want to miss out on and wanted a quick sale if possible. We met with John a couple times before listing the house to review what was needed to get the house in the best shape for selling and to review pricing options and John was honest about the market and what needed to be done to maximize value. Prior to the official listing John and his team started the pre-marketing work and we actually had a showing prior to official listing. Once we were live online the phone app that John's team uses was great for confirming showings and keeping information current on our houses activity and the custom webpage really showed the house to its best. The proof of John’s hard work was that we had a sale complete in 10 days from listing at almost the exact number that John told us we could expect. The follow up work from Cheryl post sale has been fantastic and she does a great job of managing the sale and post sale process. Overall we would easily recommend John and his team for your real estate needs. 5.0000 5

Steve H. February 19th 2019 My wife and I moved to Calgary with our 9 month old son from Ontario in November having secured an Airbnb for one month. Our plan was to find a short term rental for 3 months while we would start house hunting with our chosen realtor, Dave Peterson. As it turned out Dave had us moving into our new home within 2 weeks of starting our hunt! Something I thought totally impossible. Our first choice was very unrealistic as it was well outside our ceiling price. Dave negotiated the price down by close to 10 percent. He took care of finding us a great mortgage broker, a lawyer and a home inspector, he even lent us everything we needed to redecorate. I'm sure for a lot of people, buying their first home can be a very stressful experience, for us Dave took care of everything. Thank you so much for the moving in gifts, thanks for saving all our paperwork on a handy USB stick, thanks for all the constant support since we moved in and thanks for putting your negotiation skills to work and saving us an absolute fortune. Hope to catch up again soon, all the best, Steve, Ellysia and Leo 5.0000 5

I would recommend them to anyone needing to sell our buy a home. 5 Stars! 5.0000 5

Larry & Dawn J May 2nd 2018 We met Dave Peterson when our daughter and son in law bought a home from him in the spring of 2017. We quickly connected with Dave and gained a lot of respect for his knowledge of the housing industry. When it came time for us to find another home of our own, it was a no brainer to engage Dave. He assisted us with the purchase of a really nice home in Okotoks. His negotiation skills proved to be very worthwhile too. Our experience with all the staff at Big John’s during our purchase was very positive. If you are looking for a great real estate firm, these folks are top notch! We highly recommend them! 5.0000 5

After working with them it's obvious you're dealing with people who know the business of selling and can offer insight to the housing market that many realtors only wish they had. 5.0000 5

Michelle November 4th 2015 It has been a pleasure working with you. We have sold properties in the past with other realtors and I must say that working with you was refreshing. The additional touches, the no penalty cancellation option, the questionnaire about our property's features and the feedback surveys from the other realtors, elevated the trust factor that you wanted the sale to be successful. My biggest concern has been communication with the realtor and you were always available to us. Thank you so much for all that you have done. We will definitely use you again. 5.0000 5
