Success Stories

“We had the pleasure of having Mike and Dee sell our Mom's home in Eagle Ridge. They are truly the most professional, hardworking, knowledgeable and fun realtors to work with. Exemplary in every way. We are so grateful to them both. We highly recommend Mike and Dee for your real-estate needs. They are our Realtors for life.”

“Thanks to Mike, we found our dream home in Calgary hassle-free. His responsiveness, communication, in-depth knowledge of the market and processes were impressive. He's proactive in ensuring a smooth transaction. If you're looking for a trustworthy and efficient realtor, Mike is the one to go to!"”

“Mike did a great job and fulfilled all my expectation! I would use Mike again and recommend him to any of my friends. Great job Mike!!”

“Mike and Bamber May use any of my comments and I would be pleased to be a reference for any future clients of Mike.”

“Mike Dreger and Doreen Heinbigner are an excellent team. From our first meeting we felt confident that they would work to get us the best possible price, and they did just that. They knew the product, they knew the area, and they came prepared with a plan that highlighted what was great about our home and neighborhood. They took such great care of us, answering a myriad of questions, offering advice, providing clear pre and post sale expectations, that we felt like we were their most important clients. They were fast and efficient from meeting us to getting a sign on our lawn and a listing up on MLS. They booked several showings in one day so that as a family with small children we weren't being constantly uprooted from our home. Overall, selling our house with Mike and Doreen was exciting and simple. We appr eciate all that they did for us and will (and have) recommend them to anyone looking to list their property.”

“Mike was referred by a trusted friend, and he delivered above and beyond during the sale of my father's home in Calgary. I live out of province, and we relied on Mike to help coordinate the sale when we couldn't be there. He helped us find service people to help prepare the home for sale, he helped us find buyers for several items of value, he connected us to a lawyer to manage the sale, and he kept us well informed of the process throughout. Moreover, once the house was listed, Mike was brilliant at managing the competing buyers (until well into the evening) to get us a good price which will support my father's retirement. Aside from his knowledge and skill as a realtor, he and Dee were also very understanding and supportive during a major life event: selling a parent's home. I would recommend Mike and Dee wholeheartedly for anyone selling a house in Calgary.”

“We hired Mike Dreger to sell our new build duplex in the SW community of Richmond, west of the old Children's Hospital. Mike and his team were very knowledgeable about the inner-city area, including this small relatively unknown pocket .

We met with him on day 1 to discuss what we were looking for and after that Mike delivered 100% in every aspect.

Do not hesitate to use Mike as your realtor!! Thank you Mike.”

“I have known Mike Dreger going back to our days growing up in small town Saskatchewan. There would be no one else in Calgary I would use to buy and sell my home.

Doreen was also helpful and they complimented each other’s skills. Would always recommend Mike Dreger in the future to friends or family.”

“We were looking for a realtor that would appreciate the massive renovations we'd undertook, and Mike came recommended from a friend. We met with him and right away he could see the details and value in our property and his enthusiasm and years of experience became obvious. This was important as we'd had a big named realtor walk through the home and only gave a cursory look and valuated it much lower than Mike. We signed him up immediately and I'm glad we did. From onset to finish he was professional and more importantly trustworthy, and we closed on the sale within 3 weeks. No small feat as houses were not selling quickly at that time. We would highly recommend him to anyone and look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks Mike!”

You both did so much to make the process less stressful and always there to step in when I needed help. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am!”

“Mike and Dee did a great job helping Alison and I sell our house. They suggested a pricing strategy that allowed us to put the house on the market on a Thursday evening and we had 17 offers and a sale, much over asking, by Sunday. We know that it is a sellers market but feel that Mike and Dee's expertise allowed us to get the best price we could in a very short time. We would highly recommend Mike and Dee!”

“Mike & Dee were fantastic. Attentive, experienced and enthusiastic about selling our home. A true concierge experience. We can't thank them enough. Dave & Kori”

“Mike and Dee are a phenomenal team. We were very impressed right from our first phone call and meeting. Both Mike and Dee are very approachable and professional. Both proved right away how experienced and knowledgable they were with the current market. We were first time home buyers in a chaotic market where you didn’t even have time to think. We had a myriad of questions and concerns. Mike and Dee were always available, prompt, considerate and efficient with everything we threw at them. Our purchase had to be done in 8 days. With Mike and Dee being committed, dedicated and efficient - they got it done for us. We would recommend this great team with full confidence that all your expectations will be met when buying or selling. Thank you Mike and Dee for going above and beyond.”

“Working with Mike (and Doreen) was a real pleasure. When we chose to build a new home, their services were offered as a part of the build package - and of course our first thought was "would this would be a good fit" as most things too good to be true often are. However, we can honestly say, this experience couldn't have been better. The build took longer than projected but they were patient and fantastic at working alongside us to help make our home shine - so we could get top dollar for it - which they definitely did! Bottom line - if you are in the market to sell or buy - get a hold of Mike and Doreen - you will NOT be disappointed!”

“Mike was very responsive to my initial contact in looking for an apartment for my son. We explained the parameters of our requirements and Mike quickly drew up a list of properties suitable for view and the current state of the market. After several viewings at our convenience, we moved to purchase and my son is very happy with his new apartment. Thanks for your help, Mike.”

Thank you, Denise and Dale”

“I have known Mike for several years and he has always worked with me very professionally. I have bought and sold houses through him and never had an issue. I would strongly recommend him and Dee as your go to realtors.”

“A few months ago I was looking to purchase a condo in Calgary and had the good fortune to have contacted Mike who, along with his partner Doreen went over and above to ensure that they understood my needs and to help me find what I was looking for. As we were doing Zoom visits they were both always present so that one person could hold the camera and the other could show me around. They gave me honest assessments of the units, both the good and the bad points, given I wasn't physically present to assess everything myself. Their help didn't end once I found a place, Mike referred me to someone to manage the rental of the unit for me and ensured a few small repairs were completed in the condo before it was rented out. I would highly recommend Mike and Doreen if you're looking to buy or sell.”

We would recommend Mike and Dee for anyone’s real estate needs. Very trustworthy.”

Their understanding of the market, historical trends and our neighborhood gave us so much confidence in them. They made themselves available to us, communicated efficiently and genuinely made us feel as though they had no other clients. Our house sold without any difficulty and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stress-free experience with selling their home.”

“It was always a pleasure to work with Doreen, she always made sure I was well informed. Never at one point did I question my choice on realtor. I will use Doreen again in the future if needing to purchase or sell a property and will recommend Doreen to others!”

“Doreen and Mike offered us exceptional service with our new home search journey, and with closing the chapter on our 19A St story. They were attentive in allowing us to view multiple properties before finding our dream home, hosting an open house on our sale, and expertly negotiating both contracts. It has truly been a pleasure working with both Doreen and Mike, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future.”

The first house they showed us was the one we purchased, and even won against 6 other offers. Mike and Dee always made us feel like their top priority and allowed us the time and space to make a decision that was right for us. Their relationship focused approach is evident at every step of the process and is what truly sets them above any other realtor in the city. Thanks Mike & Dee!”

“Mike and Dee helped my partner and I buy our first home and it couldn’t have gone better. They are both very knowledgeable and their communication with us throughout was excellent.

“Mike and Dee provided unparalleled services, Mike was available for questions and discussions when we had them, and was flexible with showings working around our schedule. The client services did not end when the papers had been finalized, Mike and Dee continued to provide us with direction and valued services well beyond the closing date. Mike's network of other professionals made financing, closing, and legal work easy. I would highly recommend any buyers/sellers deal with Mike and Dee.”

“I can honestly say that Doreen was the best realtor I’ve ever used, from start to finish she was 100% there for me! She’s very knowledgeable and helpful, I would definitely recommend her and definitely will be using her again! A+++++++”

“Doreen Dreger is very professional and compassionate realtor who listened to our specific wants and needs. She is courteous in her demeanour, and focused in her efforts on our behalf.

Then, brought quick results through her network of contacts and provided good feedback throughout the active listing period which culminated in a satisfying sale amidst a slow moving selling market.”

“When you think about all the qualities you want your realtor to have, like knowledgeable, personal, problem solver to name a few. It takes a lot of dedication to make sure the buyers and sellers of real estate are happy. By naming these qualities I automatically think of Doreen Heinbigner. She was the amazing realtor that made my dream of buying a house at 21 a reality. I remember going to the first bank and applying for a possible mortgage and then telling me Doreen automatically told me that she was there for me and whatever my decision was she would help me out. Having the support and the problem solving skills from Doreen Heinbigner was 10/10 customer service! I completely recommend Doreen to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property because you will not be disappointed and get exactly what you want!”

“We were very impressed with Doreen's knowledge of the sale of our home which sold within two days of being listed. We trusted her expertise totally and left the sale of our home in her hands. We would recommend her as an agent to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home. We would highly recommend the services of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Signature Service Moose Jaw. We have seen homes dealing with other agencies sit for 2 to 3 years and not being sold. Ours was sold in 2 days. When we contacted Doreen we told her we had never sold a house before and we were leaving our future sale in her hands. She did an EXCELLENT job”

“Doreen was marvellous to work with. Very professional in her approach, gave me a good market analysis and a sound marketing strategy on which to base my listing decision at the initial stages in the listing process. Then, brought quick results through her network of contacts and provided good feedback throughout the active listing period which culminated in a satisfying sale amidst a slow moving selling market.”

“Doreen was very accessible and always responded to my messages within minutes, no matter the time or day of the week. She did an excellent job working on a short timeline. She spent an entire weekend helping me buy a home, and went above and beyond over the next couple weeks as we worked to remove the conditions and finalize the deal. I have already recommended her to a co-worker and would have no hesitation recommending her again.”

“Doreen Heinbigner is a top-notch realtor, who took care in ensuring she understood our goals, but gave us the no-kidding realistic view of what to expect and what was the most reasonable way forward. She is always positive, and set our minds at ease anytime we wavered. She kept us on track even in a slower than normal market. And before you know it, the sold sign went up!! Doreen is a consummate professional with the personality that makes her so approachable she feels like a friend. She goes above and beyond in all aspects, and was always easy to reach and to deal with. Doreen sold houses for 3 friends of ours, and they all had glowing recommendations. After our experience with Doreen, we too have a glowing recommendation.”

“Doreen was a fantastic guide through the entire home purchase experience. As a first time home buyer with a very short deadline, she exceeded all of my expectations of a realtor, going above and beyond to communicate what was happening every step along the way. In the end, her guidance aided me in having a better experience than I could have imagined. Thank you Doreen.”

“It has been over 35 years since I last sold a house, and I didn’t know how much things have changed over the years. Doreen provided me with a sellers booklet that answered most of my questions and concerns. She was always available and frequently gave me updates for any showings we had. She has proven to be an expert within the Moose Jaw area, and her negotiating skills were invaluable. I will certainly recommend her to my family and friends who are thinking of buying or selling.”

“Doreen was exceptional. Overall, her attention to detail, savvy marketing techniques, and super relaxed personality made this experience of selling our home so much easier and with far less stress than my wife and I had anticipated! We will certainly be hiring Doreen again in the future. By far the best realtor I have worked with.”

“Doreen helped make the process of finding our first home such a positive experience. She took all of our needs and concerns seriously and was patient with us, considering we were clueless when it came to most everything involved! One of the most notable things about Doreen was her prompt and professional communication! Whatever time of day I had a question she was on it, if we wanted to see a house she would have it organized right away. Another thing with Doreen was that it seemed like she was always 2 steps ahead of us. If we had a question about something regarding a home, insurance, mortgage, etc. It always seemed that she had already been in contact with someone or had a recommendation right away.”

“Doreen helped make a purchasing a home a much simpler and worry free process than I would have ever imagined. There is no doubt we would recommend her to our friends and family, Im happy to say my brother will be looking at homes with her this week! Doreen gets the job done and done right. She reassured me that my house would sell and was always positive. She goes above and beyond. I would recommend her to everyone I know wanting to sell their house! She was amazing! Also a great help in finding me a condo. A great company to deal with. Very understanding and patient. Definitely will recommend to everyone! So happy I found Doreen. She works hard at what she does and goes above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Doreen! You are the best!”

“Doreen took over our listing from another agent at the same brokerage who ended up changing to a new brokerage. We had already moved away when she took over the listing so we never actually met her, but within a month she had our house sold. She went above and beyond what we expected of our real estate agent and even took it upon herself at one point to mow our yard before a showing (that showing ended up selling our house). Although we weren't able to get what the price we wanted out of our house, we did get the price we needed and no longer have the stress of owning 2 houses in different provinces. A job very well done by Doreen!”

“Doreen was great to work with. She was very understanding of our needs and was very patient with us. She was easy to get ahold of and was always prompt with responses. I felt that she advocated for us throughout the purchase of our home. Would recommend.”

“Relocating to a new city is always a stressful period. We were referred to Doreen by a friend and really enjoyed working with her. Doreen had researched the market for the homes we were looking at, and the previous history as well. Doreen is very in tune with the present market conditions, assisted us in the negotiations and final closing of the purchase. We would highly recommend Doreen for anyone looking to buy or sell!”
