JC gets the job done no matter what.

Having JC manage our rental property for 7 years and then also act as the realtor when we wanted to sell was a slam-dunk. 

JC went the extra mile on many occasions to ensure the transaction went super smooth.

Thanks for being our realtor.

Sales Testimonial September 2019

This was the second time I have used JC as my realtor. The first time was 15 years ago as buyers realtor. At that time JC quickly understood what we were looking for and by the third house we looked at found our new home and within our budget. When it became time to sell our home we invited different realty companies to present a marketing plan to us. After all presentations we again decided to use JC as our selling realtor to market our house in a very difficult market. JC ensured that our home was advertised and listed in the best possible fashion and with the widest possible exposure to prospective buyers. Sometimes up to three showing a day were scheduled in advance. After 120 days in the market we received an offer. Very difficult negotiations followed and JC was always there to protect our interests. I would recommend JC to anyone that wants a realtor that is willing to go the extra mile without you having to ask.

Lawyers Testimonial

Hi JC, Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it is to work with you. Your conveyancing instructions to us as lawyers are always clear, detailed and thorough. This makes our work much easier and means that we can serve our clients more effectively and efficiently. You always let us know in good time when a deal is on its way, and always point out special circumstances to us way ahead of time, giving us time to deal with unusual issues long before closing. Sometimes you do send us a rush deal, but you know we won’t say “no” to you, and as always, you are just trying to accommodate your clients. We know that you go above and beyond for your clients every time, and hope that we can continue working together with you for many more successful deals – we wish you the best.

Mr Van der Walt or "JC" as he prefers to be called is an AMAZING realtor! He worked patiently with my wife and I for 5 months to help us find a house. During this time we explored the 4 quadrants of Calgary & surrounding areas. He was extremely flexible and worked around our busy schedule working with us mostly on weekends including Sunday's. We found him very knowledgeable and offered us advice when we needed it, respecting our thoughts about what we wanted. Thanks to JC we found the "perfect" house and he skillfully negotiated with the seller for us, avoiding a bidding war and saved us a lot of money. JC is straightforward and honest and he is our first choice realtor to buy or sell a house.

My experience working with you to find a suitable home was positive and informative.

Dear JC, Recently, I was recollecting my experiences of selling a house in Edmonton, and buying a house in Calgary. I realize I had never formally told you how much I appreciated your help in finding a home. By the time I had the good fortune to meet you, I had had a few experiences with other Realtors that were less than positive. One Realtor was reluctant to actual show me any potential house until I had sold my house in Edmonton, whereas another Realtor relied only on the listings I found myself through the Internet and seem to believe that every property we saw "was good enough." My experience working with you to find a suitable home was positive and informative. You took the time to actually listen. You took into consideration my expressed wishes of what I want in a new home i.e. being able to walk to work. Each time we viewed a potential property; you discussed my impressions, and took them seriously. Therefore I always know that each property you suggested we view would have several of the features I was looking for. You were low-key and knowledgeable. You did not pressure me to buy a property that was unsuitable, and thorough our viewings you educated me as to positive construction features of a property and potential problems. This information and your willingness to view many potential properties was invaluable to me. As I was not familiar with the Calgary real estate market, viewing many properties gave me the opportunity to learn about market value of property in Calgary. This knowledge was invaluable when the purchasers of my house in Edmonton, asked for a 30 day possession date. I was able to make an offer quickly, with the added security that I was buying a property for a fair market price. JC, I greatly appreciated your help in finding my home, but I was astonished and extremely grateful that you continued to help me after I had "signed on the dotted line." You suggested a knowledgeable inspector, who was able to produce an inspection report in a timely manner, you ensured that all unfinished and necessary details were completed on the property, and you suggested a lawyer who had extensive experience in the real estate area. Your assistance continued when I experienced some difficult in having a door replaced in my house, although it was part of the purchase agreement. Your invaluable help both in finding a suitable home for me, and in assisting me through the legalities of purchase and dealing with difficulties is greatly appreciative. Thank you. Take Care,

He was confident and skillful in identifying with us and guiding us to a great property well suited to our needs

Dear Mr. Roy: It is our pleasure to apprise you of our complete satisfaction working with your Realty Executives Broker -JC van der Walt. JC has demonstrated exemplary business acumen. In late July, we were challenged with the prospect of being unable to find suitable rental accommodation and jumped streams to the idea of purchasing a residential property instead. Living in Regina, we were unfamiliar with Calgary demographics and the real estate market. We called our grandson Mike Yerhoff in Saskatoon asking him to refer us to an agent in Calgary. This networking resulted in a prompt phone call and an introduction from JC van der Walt. JC was not daunted by our lack of being able to identify with what, where or even our price point. He was confident and skillful in identifying with us and guiding us to a great property well suited to our needs. We are extremely happy to be taking possession September 30, 2014 of 5133 17"Avenue NW, Calgary. We believe JC to very knowledgeable of his profession, dedicated and goal oriented while serving us as his clients. Regards, .

He paid attention to my specific needs!

This letter serves as reference for Johan (JC) van der Walt, a realtor with Realty Executives. JC acted as my realtor during my search for a residential property in Calgary, Alberta. It is necessary to mention that firstly, he paid attention to my specific needs. Secondly he only showed me those properties that complied with my specifications and price range; therefore saving me valuable time. He was also very flexible when it came to arranging appointments. Even second and third appointments for the same property were not too much effort for him. The fourth house he showed me was the one I bought. At the negotiation table JC ensured that an agreement could be reached that was surely in my favour as his client. I can most sincerely recommend JC as a realtor who puts his client first, and will personally, in future property transactions, again employ his services.
