Calgary real estate questions: selling, buying and investing

Ask us for a free home evaluation. We compare your home with similar homes that have sold nearby and those on the market now, and give you a price range to list at.

The main costs are the brokerage commission, your lawyer's fees and paying out any mortgage. The commission is agreed between you and us and set out in your listing agreement before your home goes on the market. Ask us for our rate.

Usually yes. A Real Property Report is a drawing prepared by an Alberta Land Surveyor that shows the property lines and the buildings on the lot. Most standard residential purchase contracts ask the seller to give the buyer a current one with a municipal stamp of compliance, so order it early. The Real Estate Council of Alberta guide explains it.

Not always. Not every repair pays back in the sale price. We walk through the home with you and point out the small jobs that are worth doing, such as fixing obvious damage, fresh paint and a deep clean.

Yes. Tell us at the start, because the lease affects showings and the possession date. We plan showings around the tenancy and the tenant gets written notice before every visit.

Yes. Ask for a free rental analysis and within 1 to 2 business days you receive by email what your home should rent for. You can then choose full property management, leasing only or selling.

Yes. We can book showings and write offers on homes listed on MLS® by any brokerage, not only our own listings.

Call us on 587 832 5000 and we will arrange a private showing at a time that suits you. If you already work with a REALTOR®, they can book the showing for you.

For a home you will live in, the minimum is 5% of the price up to $500,000, plus 10% of any part of the price between $500,000 and $1.5 million. At $1.5 million or more the minimum is 20%. For a property you will not live in, ask your lender, because the rules for rental properties differ. Source: Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.

Plan for your lawyer's fees, a home inspection, the Alberta Land Titles fees to register the transfer and your mortgage, and adjustments for property tax and any condo fees already paid by the seller. Alberta charges land titles registration fees instead of a land transfer tax.

Since 20 October 2024 the fee to register a transfer of land is $50 plus $5 for every $5,000 of the property's value, and the same formula applies to registering a mortgage. On a $400,000 home that is about $450 for the transfer.

Yes. Once the keys are yours we can lease and look after the property with full property management, or find and place a tenant with our leasing only service and hand everything over to you.

Yes, with full property management. If we do not rent your property within 21 days, you will not pay the first month's property management fee after the property is leased. The property must be rent ready, available for showings, and listed at the market rent recommended by AM PM Properties. The 21 day period begins once the management agreement is signed and the property is ready to be advertised.

Yes. Tell us the address and we look at what similar homes are asking now. The chart on our buying page shows the live asking rents of the Calgary homes we are leasing today.

We help owners sell homes and investment properties, help buyers buy homes and rental properties, and list properties for sale on MLS®. We also lease and manage rental homes across Calgary and nearby towns.

Yes. The Real Estate Council of Alberta has issued a brokerage licence to AM PM PROPERTIES INC., which operates as AM PM Properties, to trade in real estate. Our licence runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027.
