Trevor,

I’m not easily impressed 😉 Murray crushed it!
New home seller, somewhat uncertain, somewhat skeptical.
We decided to sell quickly & out of the blue, unprepared & unsure, we called Murray (Got his number from a friend).

Murray provided and explained to us all of our available choices and options which weren't few, given the short notice, particulars of the area, diverse conditions of the property & obstacles we/he had to overcome.

There was a lot to consider & simply put, overwhelming, so we put our trust in Murray as a 30-year veteran in the Calgary real estate market, who are we to question.

Murray laid out exactly how things were going to play out from tip to tail. The arrival of his prep staff to the best day to list, the kinds of showings we can expect right out of the gates, all the way through to how it will culminate and play out in the end.

His deliveries were professional, organized, crystal clear & easy to understand.
His knowledge of local laws, requirements & limitations was excellent and much-needed.
His people were on time, courteous & professional - Photographers, Land surveyors, and Interior property measurements.

Murray put this together, listed & sold within 5 days for exactly what he said he would on day 1. Seamless execution on all fronts, couldn’t be happier, Thank you!




Kelly,

I have known Murray for a while now, he helped me get into my first starter home (which I stayed in for 14 years). When the time came for my husband and I to find our next home, Murray was first on my list of people to call. He gave us valuable tips to help stage our home to appeal to buyers and what to focus on to sell quickly and at the right price.
When looking for our new home, Murray showed us a wide range of homes as we looked for a needle in a haystack. Because we were looking at older homes in need of love, his expertise and honesty was exactly what we needed. He was amazing at telling us about what to expect, what was up to code, what could be a problem and flat out told us when to walk away. He made us feel comfortable and confident and we felt like all our ramblings about what we wanted and needed were heard and he was always available to answer questions big and small.
Murray's deep understanding of the real estate business and the culture of house hunting helped us make the right offer and secure our new home with confidence!  We are so thankful where we ended up thanks to his help.
Moving is such a stressful experience and you need the right person on your side when taking on such an important life event. I would absolutely recommend Murray to anyone we know and anyone we don’t.

Letter of Recommendation for Murray Harris


We recently sold our home in Church Ranches, an executive acreage subdividision. located on the North West boundary of Calgary, Alberta.


We chose Murray Harris with Royal LePage Benchmark as our reatlor. Murray has extensive experience in the business and is well connected in the industry. This was evident from our first meeting. Murray walked us through the process, presented the market analysis and what we could expect to get for our home. We never felt pressure to do anything that we were not comfortable with. He answered all our questions to our satifaction.


Murray was knowledgable, creative, detail oriented and professional from the beginning till the end. Murray showed considerable problem-sloving skills in the solutions to the situations that were part of our sale. He has great enthusiasm and energy. It was a pleasure having Murray as our realtor. I would recomment Murray as a realtor.


Regards,

Murray rocks!  He took my impossible vision of 'the perfect home' and weeded through the numerous possibilities in the marketplace and came as close as humanly possible to my list of 10's. Murray has great charisma and the ability to expertly handle details and logistics; therefore making my first time home purchase an enjoyable and exciting process.

I met Murray 2 years ago when I first moved to Calgary and was eager to buy a house. His kindness, honesty, professionalism and knowledge shines through!

Westminster Glen

Allen and Joy Knight-Joy and I had the pleasure of listing and selling our house in Westminster Glen with Murray Harris. Murray is honest and is very knowledgable about the Bearspaw real estate market prices. Prior to listing with Murray we did meet with several other realtors. We had expectations of a higher price based upon the other realtor comments, however, Murray was very diligent in his research of other equivalent properties and gave us a realistic listing price.

We highly recommend Murray as he is a man of integrity and is able to back up his listing prices.

We would definitey use Murray again because of the due diligence he demonstrates as opposed to others who just tell you what you want to hear.

Sincerely

Joy and Allen Knight

Ms O'Brien-Bearspaw Acreage

Connie O'Brien.."My experience with Murray Harris has been nothing less than stellar. His professionalism and knowledge of the current markets was on the mark! Instead of the disillusionment of an inflated listing price to sell my Bearspaw Property, he too a more hones and realistic approach to sell the property in a shorter timeframe and for the best price. The result was a sale to the first offer! I would highly recommend Murray for any real estate needs.

Church Ranches-Wilhelm and Caroline

We contracted Murray Harris to assist us in selling  our property in Church Ranches after a time of low and unresponsive performance experienced by the realtor we initially selected to market and sell the property.  The first realtor was selected because of apparently being well known and established in the area.  However, while eager to obtain the rights to sell the property, we were introduced to a time of limited feedback on showings (had to explicitly request feedback) as well as what appeared to be a limited interest in negotiating offers that were made

After a very frustrating period of time, a friend of mine recommended Murray Harris.  Murray provided honest and refreshing opinions, marketed the property with enthusiasm, provided ongoing feedback and was successful in negotiating the sale of the property within a short period of time.  Murray is genuinely interested in his customers, very professional, provides his honest opinion on property matters and is proactive throughout the process.  We continued our relationship with Murray in acquiring our next property. 

We can strongly recommend Murray as a professional end effective Realtor.

To whom it may concern,

 We had been living in Bearspaw for over 10 years when we decided to sell our home. We had used a few different relators over the coarse of 2-3 years.

 It wasn’t until we used Murray Harris did we finally get the results we needed.  He was honest, reliable, and very hard working.  He is always available to answer any questions big, or small.  He cares about how he represents you as the client.

 I had nothing but the best experience using Murray.  He didn’t just put his sign in the ground and expect the house to sell it self. I can honestly say you are making a great decision if you choose him for the sale/or purchasing of a home.

 He sold our home very quickly, painlessly, and provide great ease through the whole process. He had the upmost respect for my family, and our home.

 You won’t go wrong by giving Murray Harris a chance to be your relator. Believe me when I say let him be your first choice, you won’t be disappointed.

 Kind regards

Jeunesse Violette

 

Barry and Natalie

Murray has been AMAZING! We are from out of province and were looking to buy in Calgary, and as such were on a very limited timeline as to when we could come and view properties. Murray spoke with and us and listened very carefully to our needs (which were quite specific and as such, not easy to find). He immediately, found us multiple listings and was able to arrange showings with little notice. We found our dream home the first day with him, and he went above and beyond to make things happen for us. Murray recommended home inspectors, lawyers, and even had a company come out to give us an estimate on a chair lift on the day of our home inspection (which was a condition on our purchase), and he worked late into the evening with our mortgage broker to ensure that everything was happening on schedule. Even now, he is still in contact with us, helping with whatever he can to make this a smooth transition. We cannot recommend Murray enough-you will not be disappointed!! Thank you Murray for everything!
