Michele goes above and beyond every time. She takes the time to understand the needs of the entire family to ensure long term satisfaction with the property. She is open and honest about her personal knowledge and experience to ensure you fully understand the community of interest. We have been working with Michele for many years and would work with no other in Calgary.

I’ve known Michele Swiggum for over 15 years & highly recommend her. She listens to your needs & concerns & provides tailored solutions that exceed your expectations.

Michele helped me buy my 1st condo, then later sold it, & facilitated my current house purchase. I’ve  relied on her knowledge, expertise & her trusted professional “entourage” to guide me through those transactions & beyond. 

I’m willing to bet most people view the home buyer/realtor relationship through a single transactional lens. But what happens months or years down the road if you experience an issue like coming home to a leak in your ceiling? Who can you call for advice or to provide you with a reputable repairman? Will your realtor still be there for you?

I’ve experienced a few issues over the years, & who did I fall back on? My realtor.  Michele has honed relationships with many different professionals & always came through with a name & #  to call & a solution.

Michele’s commitment to you doesn’t stop at the sale or purchase of your home. When you hire Michele, you receive client care for life.

Thank you so much Michele for the work & dedication you did for us in obtaining our retirement home. We think you were amazing!

We want to thank you very much for all your help, intercession, counsel & time with us in buying our house. As brand new arrivals to Calgary we didn’t know the city & you helped us know its neighbourhoods & character. You also helped us figure out & define what we wanted, needed & could afford - always with such a charm & easiness.

Thank you for being so professional & caring with us. We will be forever grateful to our friend Fran for having recommended us to you - we could not have had a better partner in finding our house.

With lots of appreciation, Luis & Monica Flores.

Michele has been my realtor for over 19 years & has helped me with four purchases & sales. Michele is very thorough when working with you to find your new home. She asks a lot of questions to understand exactly what you are looking for, provides you with lots of options & will help you weed out listings that don’t suit your needs so you can focus on the ones that do. Once you’re in the house, Michele is very detail oriented, finding special finishes the current owners have added & flaws that could be potential issues for you - no corner goes unlooked at when dealing with Michele. Her first priority is finding you the right house to call home & she is incredibly focused on ensuring your needs are heard & fulfilled. Michele is wonderful to work with on the quest to find your new home.

When selling your home, Michele understands how important your home has been to you & will endeavour to help you sell your home quickly & at the best price possible. When we recently sold our house of 10 years, Michele provided us with a list of economical improvements we could quickly & easily do ourselves to help increase property value. She helped us with staging ideas & listed the property at a price we were happy with that would enable us to sell quickly. Even in a market that had taken a downturn, Michele was able to secure an acceptable offer within 25 days that was close to full list price. 

Whether you are buying or selling, Michele is very conscientious & focused on ensuring your needs are met in a timely manner & to your satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending Michele to any buyer or seller, & have done so numerous times with excellent results.

We had just become foster parents & needed more space. With all the kids, our schedules were crazy - working at the office, music lessons in the home, playtime, & homework too - Our greatest WISH was to sell our house in a week SO after quick painting touch-ups & de-cluttering, we called in “The Expert”. Michele went to work at record speed - with a wealth of information, amazing negotiation ideas, & WOW - CAN SHE STAGE A HOME!!

One day later we were up on MLS, with an open house scheduled for the weekend, & several showing appointments thoughtfully booked around our hectic schedules.  By 8pm on the 2nd day - an offer.  By 10pm our home was conditionally sold!

The very next day, she found us our new home - just one street over from where I grew up. Before the week was over, everything was finalized, & her moving checklist was on our table ! Thank you Michele -  for making this the BEST move EVER !

Michele is an awesome real estate agent. We have moved several times and worked with several agents. Michele is head and shoulders above them all. We've bought two different homes with Michele as our buyer's agent. She made sure to understand what we were looking for in both instances, and kept us out of our own way when we were going down paths that wouldn't make good sense for us. She is protective as a buyer's agent, working hard to steer her clients clear of pitfalls. On our second purchase, which happened during Covid-19, she was beyond patient as we hemmed and hawed about what to do. When we found a property that finally made sense (it took a while as there was not much on the market to see) she expertly steered us through the process of competing bids and helped us get through to a successful outcome while protecting us from the emotional ride. We would definitely work with Michele again if and when our needs change. 5+ stars.

We recently relocated from Saskatchewan. Michele Swiggum was our realtor. The professionalism that she showed when helping us look for a house cannot be described with words. Michele showed enthusiasm & was not satisfied until we had found a house that was perfect for us.

The help did not end there, after the sale help with everything from who to contact for utility connections to leaving Halloween candy in our new house for us because she knew we would arrive in Calgary on Halloween night cannot be thanked enough.

Michele made one of the most stressful things in life seem almost effortless. Thank you for making us feel very welcome in Calgary.

Michele is a powerhouse of real estate knowledge and experience, is prompt to respond, and always exemplifies a professional demeanor. She offers the complete package of untold depth and breadth to serve her clients. Having engaged with Michele for the purchase of our first condo in 2008, we were welcomed with upfront conversations to guide our first real estate experience which really helped when it came time to sign the final documents. Michele made us aware of important factors impacting our purchase (e.g., situated on a flood plain) so we were informed in our decision-making, in addition, Michele identifies the little details (e.g., there has been more than one occasion where she laid on the floor to visually demonstrate the size of a Queen bed), incorporates our personal preferences within our search criteria (e.g., family heirlooms), and really listens to our needs and wants when it comes to home purchasing while factoring in community growth, proximity to main arteries, spending time filtering searches based on our preferred schools, etc. She has the foresight to show us (or not show us) things that she knows won't work for us as determined by our previous discussions.
As our family and housing needs expanded, Michele was instrumental in helping us find our family home and we fully trusted her in the sale of our condo. She brought us competing offers on our condo and got us the best offer we could get on our subsequent family home, saving us tens of thousands of dollars in the process through her keen ear.
We have worked with Michele for 15 years and are so grateful for her experience during these important financial decisions. We fully trust Michele's real estate prowess and know that she will find us the right buyers and the right "next" home for our growing family. We only have amazing things to share about Michele Swiggum and you will be well-served to enlist her services.

I was able to sell my condo with Michele's hard work in a challenging market for a condo sale. Michele was great at thinking outside the box to market my condo .I really appreciated Michele's attention to detail. Her thoughtful and professional advice during the whole process was extremely helpful. This was my second time working with Michele and I would not hesitate to work with her in the future.
