My Process (or How I Work)

My Mission

My mission is taking care of families by creating positive real estate experiences that bring security and prosperity. Over the years, I’ve focused on figuring out a formula for the Best Real Estate Experience possible. I’ve created my own 9 Step Dvorak Real Estate Honour Code and have been following it ever since.

My mission, as your Real Estate Agent, is to offer you:

clarity and guidance
fun, easy, pain-free, simple process that you can understand
focus on your best interest and what’s good for your family
knowledgeable, authentic, caring *REAL* real estate agent
no pressure and no drama
professionalism, integrity, consistency in service
proactive client management
overall positive experience
going the extra mile for you

How I work with Buyers

I usually start with “Sit-Talk-Search-Find-Analyze” process because I want to get to know you, find the best property for the best price for you and save you time and money. Many people spend a lot of time searching for properties on Realtor.ca; however, due to its limited search function (for e.g., as of right now, you cannot find specific things such as whether the property has a backyard or the properties that have been upgraded/renovated only), it’s a time-consuming process to find the properties that exactly match your criteria.

When you are working with me, I will cut that time in more than half because I will be sending you exact matches that match your strict, narrow criteria that we will determine together. We will sit in my office, determine your narrow criteria and look at some listings together. After that, I will find and analyze the listings for you, so that means that you won’t be looking at 50 houses – you will be looking at 10-20 houses that are PERFECT for you, in YOUR ideal neighbourhood with YOUR IDEAL specifications.

Then we will go and actually physically look at them because sometimes the photos do not reflect the true character of the house and you truly need to walk into those walls to see if this property is *yours*. As your Realtor, I have access to almost every single property *except some foreclosures* that’s listed on MLS (that’s over 10,000 properties). That means that we can view 8-10 properties in one day!

One of the most important misconceptions is that people think that they have to pay a fee to the Realtor who is helping them buy a house. It is not true! When you are working with me, the fee is covered by the Sellers, so you do not have to worry about paying me anything. I am not sure how other agents operate, but in most cases, the buyer never pays anything to the Realtor for helping them buy a property.

So let me state this again: I guarantee you if you are working with me, you will not pay me anything – ever- when I am representing you in the purchase of your property (ANY TYPE of property).

My Value Proposition:

I save you time and money and do all the legwork for you (you enjoy your life and spend your valuable time doing things you love)
I show you all the properties you ever wanted to see in one weekend (or whatever works for you). You do not need to book anything or call anyone. I book everything for you and take care of all the scheduling. We meet, you receive a map of our route, a folder with all the property details, and you follow my car. You do not need to print or bring anything for our tour but yourselves!
I guide you through the process, explain every single term to you, draft the contract and other various documents and negotiate the best price for you. You get the property of your dreams for the best price.
I take care of all the bookings for the property inspection, attend the actual property inspection, pre-possession walk-through appointment, attend the meeting with your lawyer (if you do not want me to be there, that’s fine too).
I can also help you with arranging the cleaning services, choosing appliances, appliances pick-up and removal, and many other.
I will never rush you, pressure you, or make you feel uncomfortable. I guarantee that.
My goal is to make sure that there will never be a time when you are confused, lost and unsure of something. Every step of the way, I will work in your best interest and guide you every single step of the way. My goal is to remain your trusted agent for years to come. This will never happen unless I provide the highest level of service possible.
As this level of service takes a lot of time, I take on a limited number of clients per year in order to guarantee the best experience possible.

Working with Anastasia was an amazing experience. She was incredibly responsive! Every time I had a question or sent a message, I received a quick and detailed … read more reply. She made me feel like a top-priority client and always gave me her full attention and support.
She took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly, guided me through every step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy. She was always willing to show me more options and never made me feel rushed. I truly felt that she was genuinely invested in helping me find the best place, not just any place.
On top of that, she negotiated a great price for me and made sure my interests were protected throughout the process. Her professionalism, dedication, and commitment to her clients really stand out.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares and goes above and beyond.

I recently moved from Austin, TX to Calgary, and I can't recommend Anastasia highly enough. I found her through a Google search for an agent with experience … read more in international moves, and her name came up in the top three results — I'm so glad it did.
From the very start, Anastasia was always on time, friendly, and accommodating. She's a true expert in the process, and most importantly, she was refreshingly honest about the buildings here in Calgary. She earned my trust early on, and she never once took advantage of it.
At every step, Anastasia kept me informed about what was happening and what to expect. She went above and beyond by giving me tips about where to go and what to do in my new city — something that made a huge difference as a newcomer trying to find my footing.
She also surrounded me with a team of highly competent professionals — including an inspector and a lawyer — who worked together so seamlessly it was as if they'd been on the same team for years. That kind of coordination took so much stress out of the process.
If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in helping you settle in, Anastasia is the one to call. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Anastasia (and Amanda) were incredibly helpful throughout my house purchase process through the last few months! She was instrumental in finding a place which was … read more appropriate and matched my budget; and then she went above and beyond by helping me set up inspections, utilities and negotiating a fair price with the seller.
Through it all she was both upbeat and deeply excited about finding a place that worked well for me. I highly recommend her.
