Testimonials

Kathy helped us buy a house "virtually" as we made the move from BC to Alberta in a challenging market. Houses were for sale in the morning and gone by afternoon. Without her skillful expertise, market knowledge, quick responses and patient guidance, I don't think we ever would have achieved a successful purchase. We love our new home by the ridge in YYC!!

My husband and I have bought and sold houses with Kathy many times. She is the only realtor we would ever use now, we have used others in the past but no one compares to Kathy. She is very professional and knowledgeable but she also really does care about her clients to a whole new level. The service she provides is above all other realtors. I HIGHLY recommend using Kathy for both selling and buying homes. She has helped us with both our personal home and for investment properties. She is hands down the BEST!

-Jan and Cam

Amazing personal care and attention through the process. Thank you Kathy for going above and beyond with the purchase of our new home!

I can’t speak highly enough of Kathy. As a real estate agent in Ontario, searching for the right investment property in Calgary, virtually, I put my trust in Kathy for her guidance and expertise after she had recently assisted my brother and their family to make the move from Ontario to Alberta. Communication was seamless and Kathy made the process stress free. She’s a true professional and I will continue to refer her to anyone looking to make the move to Calgary.

Kathy is an amazing realtor! I bought my first home in Calgary, moving from Toronto. She is the go to realtor if you are new to Calgary. Kathy made the process very seamless and stress free, though I was buying from literally two times zones away from Toronto. Very responsive and professional! Would recommend Kathy to anyone buying from Toronto!! :)

Buying a house for the first time in Canada can be daunting. Even more so when living in Toronto and looking for your dream home 3500 km away in Calgary. Having Kathy Thirsk as our realtor made the process stress free. She quickly understood our family dynamics and started looking for the right house for our needs. We had a couple of virtual viewings and she was very honest about the ups and downs of each house. When we found the house we bought, the interest in the property was huge. Kathy went out of her way to secure viewings. Since the property was so hotly contested, there was no time for us to fly over for a personal view. We relied and trusted completely on
Kathy’s opinion about the house virtually and bought it. Kathy is professional, very experienced and honest. We got the distinct feeling that being our realtor was not just her job, but a real passion. I highly recommend Kathy.

-Albert

Kathy was a pleasure to work with as she was the selling agent and I was on the buy side. She is incredibly knowledgable, and a pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend Kathy as an agent to work with!

-Sean

Kathy has been great to work with. She's been helpful every step of the way. We have a beautiful home now in Airdrie.

10 out of 10 hands down the best realtor. Kathy is super attentive and sold our home in 3 days. We were very satisfied with her ability to negotiate and she went above and beyond for us. She has a great team and lots of contacts to help with anything we needed. I will refer as many people as I can because the process was so easy. Thank you Kathy. - Brittney

If I could give Kathy 7 stars, I absolutely would! From the very first meeting, Kathy made finding my perfect apartment feel easy and exciting. She was there for me at every step - not just helping with the search. but also guiding me through negotiations, touch-ups, decor ideas, and even coordinating with my lawyer to make sure everything went smoothly. What truly sets Kathy apart is her personal touch - she genuinely cared about making sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision. Her attention to detail, dedication, and warm, professional approach, made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a truly exceptional experience! - Nimrat

We can’t recommend Kathy enough! She’s an absolute shark in the best way possible—strategic, sharp, and fiercely committed to her clients. We were navigating a sudden oversaturated market with the turn of season, and she never missed a beat. Her market knowledge, negotiation skills, and hustle helped us secure exactly what we were looking for. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and confident from start to finish. If you’re buying or selling in Calgary, she’s the one you want in your corner! - Krista

Kathy is not just an exceptional realtor—she’s someone who genuinely cares, and that made all the difference for us. From selling our old home to purchasing our new one, she stood by us at every stage, offering constant guidance and support. Her dedication, patience, and attention to detail were unmatched. Kathy worked tirelessly on our behalf, always going the extra mile with genuine care. No question was ever too much, and she made sure we felt confident and supported throughout the entire journey. We’re truly grateful for all she’s done. - Mehmet

I would recommend Kathy in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond to get what you want at the best price. We bought a house with Kathy and when we thought we were done negotiating because we said yes to the sellers last counteroffer...she actually managed to get us a lower price. She trusted her instinct and I'm glad she did. She knows the market and understands the 'game' of buying and selling when it comes to offers. We won't be selling for a while, but when we do, we want Kathy on our team! She works for you and has your back, and that is very much needed and appreciated during the stressful time of buying. Thanks again Kathy!!!! - Gail

We had an amazing experience working with Kathy—she helped us sell our old home and buy our new one, and was with us every single step of the way. What truly sets Kathy apart is how much she puts her heart into her work. She worked so hard for us, always going the extra mile with genuine care, patience, and dedication. No detail was too small, no question too much—she made us feel fully supported throughout the entire journey. We are beyond grateful for everything she did. Kathy is not just a great realtor, she’s someone who truly cares—and that makes all the difference. - Sevgi

Having Kathy as our realtor was such an exceptional experience. She is knowledgeable, organize, and made the whole process easy and fun. We found our dream home and she helped us negotiate everything we wanted. It is a wonderful thing to meet someone who is truly passionate about their profession and perfectly well fit for it, and Kathy is truly that. She is above and beyond our expectations for a realtor, and we are very grateful. - Madeline

Kathy is amazing at what she does! We have worked with Kathy on multiple occasions now and we will continue to work with her in the future! She is always available and very professional! We will always recommend Kathy to anyone without a doubt!! - Atit

Amazing and thorough! This was my first time purchasing a home and hiring the Kathy and Janice team was the best decision. They answered all my first time buyer questions and never pushed me into something, they are informed and very knowledgeable realtors. - Julia

If we could give her a hundred stars, we would. Kathy was absolutely amazing. She has exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond what a realtor should do. We are moving from BC and we we originally had a terrible realtor (whom we eventually got rid of), and Kathy helped us every step of the way (she took on way more work than she should have). She really had our best interests at heart and we owe her big time for everything that she has done for our family. Not only did she secure us our dream house in a competitive market, but she was also able to negotiate a good deal and terms. Kathy is professional, extremely knowledgeable, responsive, kind and just amazing overall (I could go on). If you want someone you can trust and who will represent your best interests, Kathy is the realtor for you. We highly recommend her and will be using her again for our investment property. - Shell

I have worked with several realtors in the past, but Kathy is hands down the best. She’s knowledgeable, efficient, and always put their clients first. Kathy went above and beyond for me for my sale and my purchase. She took the time to understand my needs, offered expert advice, and supported me every step of the way. Even after my sale/purchase was completed she still offered me support. She invests so much of herself and her time to each and everyone of her clients. Kathy is also super responsive and always available to answer questions. If you're buying or selling a home, do yourself a favor and work with Kathy– you won't regret it! I will always recommend Kathy first to everyone I know. Thanks Kathy!! - Jessica

I have worked with several realtors prior to Kathy and she is by far and away the best I have ever worked with. She is punctual in every way, thorough, and always went above and beyond for us in both the selling and purchasing of our new home. To anyone who will listen that is looking to buy or sell I will always give Kathy's name. If you want to have a stress free experience, call Kathy. I cannot recommend her enough. - Tyson

Kathy is the best of the best. I'd give her a million stars if I could. In addition to being extremely professional and on the ball, she's also a truly compassionate, kind, and thoughtful person. Working with her gave me so much confidence at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed and emotional about selling my first home. She guided us through the whole process, giving us insights into what to expect, asking questions to make sure she was meeting all our needs, and getting our house sold in record time. I will continue to recommend her to absolutely everyone I know and I would highly encourage anyone looking for a realtor to consider Kathy. You won't be sorry! Thanks for everything, Kathy! We're so grateful 🩷 - Emma

My family and I moved from Ontario and were recommended Kathy through our realtor in Ontario. I can’t recommend Kathy enough as a realtor. She provided assistance, support and guidance through every step throughout the whole process. Even though we did everything virtually, it felt like Kathy was always there for us. Whatever question we had she was always easily contactable and was always in our corner. If we ever need to move or sell again, we will for sure be using Kathy. - Kathryn
