The Vanderveen Team
Rachel R. Vanderveen
Hi folks! Welcome to our site! All of these “about” sections on every agent’s page are all the same, aren’t they? “I am dedicated, loyal, and honest. I will lay down in traffic for you. I will refuse to sleep until I sell your house.”
I like to think my approach is a lot simpler: I’m a real person. I have a house, a mortgage, five kids and I pay bills just like you do. I understand that you need to get top dollar from the sale of your home because you don't want to spend your entire income on mortgage payments. I understand that you want simple, no-nonsense information about the market and what your home is worth. I understand that you want as few showings as possible because you don't want to have to cart your dog and your kids all over the city while people ogle your fridge magnets and I understand that you may need some help and guidance in getting your home sold for top dollar.
I'm just like you. Like you, I take my job seriously. It's not difficult to be dedicated to your job, and to become an expert in your field, when you love it so much. I really do love Calgary Real Estate and I love working with people. Since I was licensed in 2006, I have said -- and I will always say -- that becoming a REALTOR® is the best decision I have ever made.
Clint Vanderveen
Customer Care Specialist/Executive Assistant
Having worked at the same job for 15 years, I decided to join Rachel to make something great: The Vanderveen Team. Being partners in life, love, and money, it only made sense to be partners at work. We love every aspect of our work, and I think our business and client-care styles complement each other, which gives our clients the best possible experience.
Having worked as a site supervisor in the trades, I know a lot about not only how homes are built, but how to make sure the customer is satisfied every time. When you phone with questions, we've got the answers, and you talk to a Vanderveen every time, not a team of people designed to keep you away from your agent.

We love Kathy. Like us, she's a true professional. Working for the biggest bank in Canada, Kathy has put together some of the most difficult mortgages with ease. Of course, you're always free to use any mortgage broker when you work with us, but because Kathy is a constant source of information and a real team-player when it comes to closing hard deals, we consider her part of our team!

Maxwell South Star Realty
With years of experience helping Calgary buyers and sellers just like you, we know how to locate the finest properties and negotiate the best deals. It's our job to know about the latest market conditions, government regulations, and upcoming developments so that you can focus on what's really important: living your life!
Buyers' RepresentationAs a buyer's representative, we can make the process of house-hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to unique neighbourhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We'll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones. Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we'll negotiate on your behalf with the seller to make sure you get the most favourable terms. It's our job to look after your best interests, and we will do so at no cost to you as a buyer.
| Sellers' RepresentationSelling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There's advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and piles of complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of seasoned professionals. We have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them in their most favourable light. First, we'll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we'll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We'll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS® listings. We may even showcase your home as part of our site's featured listings. When it comes to negotiating a purchase offer, we'll make sure that you get the best price the market will allow. We'll help you understand contract contingencies and details of the closing process, in addition to handling all the paperwork for you. Essentially, we're here to represent you throughout the entire selling process, and to make sure that your real estate transaction is a positive and profitable experience. |
