Why Sylvan Lake houses come to us

Sylvan Lake began as a cottage town, and plenty of its housing still remembers that — summer builds winterized over the decades, carrying the quirks of both lives. Lakeside or in town, we buy them as they are.

Our office to Sylvan Lake: about an hour and 35 minutes, up the QE II and out Highway 11. We come to the house once, in person.

We also buy in Calgary and across southern and central Alberta. If yours is somewhere between two towns, call anyway.

Sylvan Lake questions

Asked by Sylvan Lake sellers

Do you actually buy houses in Sylvan Lake, or only in Calgary?

We buy in Sylvan Lake — it's about an hour and 35 minutes from our Calgary office, inside the range we drive. We come to the house once, in person, the same as we do in Calgary.

How fast can you close on a Sylvan Lake house?

The same as anywhere we buy: as little as five to seven days on a clean title, two to three weeks more usually. You pick the date, and the offer is firm — no conditions, and the deposit is at your lawyer's office the next business day.

It started life as a cottage and it shows. Will you still buy it?

Yes — winterized cottages with quirks are normal stock for us. We price the work; you skip doing it.
