Quick Answers

• Top selling realtors: Anyone can say they are top selling. Ask for proof, such as recent sold homes in your area.
• Home buying agent: A buyer’s agent helps you find homes, make offers and handle paperwork. In Alberta you sign a written agreement first.
• Cost: Realtor fees are not set by law in Alberta. You can talk about them.
• Market: In September 2026, Calgary had about four months of supply and a benchmark price of $566,700.

Top Selling Realtors in Calgary: How to Check the Claims

Many agents say they are top selling or top producing. There is no single official list of top selling realtors in Calgary that everyone uses. Some rankings come from brokerages, award programs or the agents themselves, so it helps to ask for proof.

Ask any realtor these questions:

• How many homes did you sell in the last 12 months, and in which communities?
• Can you show me recent sold homes like the one I want to buy or sell?
• Who gave you this award or ranking, and for which year?
• Will I work with you, or with someone on your team?
• Can I talk to two recent clients?

How to Read a Top Producing Claim

• Homes sold or dollars sold? One agent may sell many lower-priced condos. Another may sell fewer, more expensive homes. Both can be called top selling.
• Which year? A ranking from a few years ago may not match today.
• Who ranked them? A real estate board, a brokerage and the agent’s own website are not the same thing.
• Solo agent or team? Team numbers add up the work of many agents. Ask who will work on your home.

You can also check an agent’s licence with the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) and read their public profile on REALTOR.ca. Remember that sales numbers are only part of the story. A very busy agent may have less time for you, and an agent with fewer sales may know your community better.

Calgary Realtors at a Glance

Here are some Calgary realtors and teams that home buyers and sellers look at. Each row comes from the agent’s or team’s own public page, or from a news report, so these are claims they make about themselves. The details were taken from the linked sources in October 2026.

This page is published by AJ Sidhu, so he is on the list too. We only use what is shared in public, and we do not repeat a ranking or sales number without a link to its source.

Please check any agent’s licence with the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) before you hire them. Agents and teams can change their profiles, so look at the latest version.

How We Compared These Realtors

We looked at the same few things for each realtor:

• Calgary work: Do they sell homes in Calgary often?
• Licence and membership: Do they have a RECA licence and belong to CREB®?
• Reviews: Can you read real client reviews?
• Focus: Do they help first-time buyers, condo buyers, sellers, investors or luxury buyers?
• Languages: Which languages can you use with them?
• Communication: How do they keep you updated?

Calgary Home Buying Agent: What a Buyer’s Agent Does

A home buying agent, also called a buyer’s agent, works for you when you buy a home. A good Calgary home buying agent will:

• Find MLS® listings that match your budget, your needs and your move-in date.
• Show you homes and tell you which streets are quiet and which are busy.
• Use recent sales to tell you if a price is fair.
• Write and negotiate your offer, including the price, the closing date and any conditions.
• Connect you with a mortgage broker, a home inspector and a lawyer.
• Keep the paperwork moving until possession day.

If you are a first-time home buyer, get a mortgage pre-approval before you start. Our Calgary home buying agent guide explains down payment rules, closing costs and first-time buyer programs.

How is a buyer’s agent paid? In Alberta, you sign a written service agreement with your agent, and buyers sign a buyer representation agreement. The seller usually agrees to pay a commission to their own brokerage, and part of it goes to the buyer’s brokerage. But your agreement decides who pays. A buyer may owe the agent if the seller’s commission does not cover it, so read the agreement first.

What a Calgary Listing Agent Does for Home Sellers

• Sets a fair listing price using recent comparable sales near your home.
• Plans photos, staging tips and marketing, and puts your home on MLS®.
• Handles showings and open houses.
• Compares offers by more than price, such as conditions, deposit and closing date.
• Helps with the paperwork until closing day.

How Buying a Home in Calgary Works, Step by Step

Here is how a typical home purchase works when you use a Calgary home buying agent. Every deal is a little different, but most follow these steps.

1. Talk to a mortgage broker or lender. Get a mortgage pre-approval so you know your budget.
2. Sign a written agreement with your agent. In Alberta, this is a buyer representation agreement. Read it, and ask about anything you do not understand.
3. Search and tour homes. Your agent sets up MLS® searches and showings that match your budget and needs.
4. Make an offer. Your agent uses recent sales to help you pick a fair price, and writes the offer with the closing date and conditions.
5. Meet the conditions. This often means a home inspection and final approval from your lender.
6. Hire a lawyer. Your lawyer checks the paperwork and handles the money on closing day.
7. Get your keys. You move in on possession day.

Which Calgary Realtor Is Right for You?

The best Calgary real estate agent for you depends on what you need. Here is what to look for in each case, with a few numbers from the September 2026 CREB® report.

• First-time home buyers: Look for an agent who explains each step in plain words and can point you to a mortgage broker. Ask about programs for first-time buyers.
• Condo and townhome buyers: Apartment condos had about five months of supply (5.29) and a benchmark price of $291,400, so buyers have more choice and more room to negotiate. Ask your agent about condo fees and the building’s reports.
• Detached home buyers: Detached homes had about three months of supply (3.31) and a benchmark price of $739,400. With less supply, good homes can go fast, so pick an agent who answers quickly.
• Home sellers: Ask any listing agent how they will price your home, what marketing they will do, and how they will compare offers.
• Investors: Look for an agent who knows rental demand. See our guide to the best place to buy rental property in Calgary.
• Newcomers and families who speak other languages: Ask which languages the agent speaks. AJ Sidhu speaks English, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu.

Realtor or Real Estate Agent? What Is the Difference in Alberta?

In Alberta, anyone who helps people buy or sell a home must have a licence from the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). RECA licenses all real estate professionals in the province.

The word REALTOR® is different. It is a trademark of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), and only CREA members can use it. In the Calgary area, that means members of the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®), which has about 8,700 REALTORS®.

So every REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent, but not every licensed agent is a REALTOR®. REALTORS® also follow the REALTOR® Code, an extra set of ethics rules. If you have a problem with licensing, you can contact RECA. If it is about the REALTOR® Code, you can contact CREB®.

How to Choose a Realtor in Calgary, AB

Ask these questions before you sign anything:

1. How many homes have you sold in Calgary in the last 12 months?
2. Will I work with you, or with someone on your team?
3. Which Calgary communities do you know best?
4. How will you keep me updated, and how often?
5. What happens if my offer falls through, or my home does not sell?
6. Can I talk to two recent clients?

Be careful if an agent pushes you to decide fast, will not answer questions about recent sales, or talks more about signing papers than about what you need.

Calgary Housing Market Snapshot (September 2026)

Here is how the Calgary housing market looked in September 2026. The numbers come from CREB® and were released on October 1, 2026.

What this means for you: Months of supply tells you how long it would take to sell every home for sale if no new homes were listed. Detached homes are in a fairly balanced market. Condos and townhomes have more homes for sale, so buyers have more room to negotiate and sellers need a fair price. Every community is different, so ask your agent about the area you want.

Calgary Communities Your Realtor Should Know

Calgary is split into four parts: northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast. Each part has many communities, and prices, schools and travel times can be very different from one to the next. A good Calgary real estate agent should be able to compare communities for you without looking at a map.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the top selling realtors in Calgary?

There is no single official list. The realtors and teams in the table above are ones that buyers and sellers often look at, but their numbers and awards are their own claims. Ask any agent for recent sold homes and check their licence with RECA.

What is the best realtor in Calgary?

There is no single best realtor for everyone. The best choice depends on whether you are buying or selling, your budget, your community and how you like to communicate. Compare at least three agents, check each licence with RECA, and talk to two past clients.

Does a top selling realtor give better results?

Not always. Top selling can mean many homes sold or a high dollar total, and it does not show how well an agent will look after you. Ask for recent sales like yours, and ask how much time the agent will give you personally.

A buyer’s agent finds homes that fit your budget, shows them to you, helps you write and negotiate an offer, and works with your mortgage broker, inspector and lawyer until possession day.

Do I pay my home buying agent?

How much does a realtor cost in Calgary?
