Crystal listed our acreage on October 2, 2009. On all our appointments she was punctual, friendly, however, businesslike. She explained the documents to me and advised the way the listing would be handled. Her positive attitude was very much appreciated and encouraging, especially when I voiced my concerns that she received the listing so late in the year and with winter approaching it could be difficult to sell. She remained positive and proceeded with a plan of action. She communicated on a regular basis and this was much appreciated. I feel there was extra time put in to accomplish the goal to sell the property - "and she did!!" Crystal has a bright and successful future ahead of her and wish her all the best in the Real Estate business. Irene G.
Integrity! Many talk about it, Kerry lives it! From the first meeting you know that this is someone you can trust for advice and to act in your best interests. Good job!

Team Braaten of Advantage Real Estate came through for us over the past several weeks. We thought that we would sit and rent for several months and wait for the market to drop. With the sale of our home and a failed home purchase, our mood was dismal but Team Braaten never gave up on us and continued to look for a home for us on their own time. They went above and beyond what any other Real Estate Agent/Office would do and gave us advice when we needed it and helped us with the move by loaning us a trailer when the time came. They treated us like we were old friends. Everything was what we wanted and more. Thank you to Duane Braaten of Advantage Real Estate for all the work that they have done for us.

We met Kerry in April 2008 when we contracted him about some listing on MLS around Candle Lake. Since we were from Edmonton Kerry set up a number of viewings for us, but the properties were too far from town for our liking. This gave Kerry an idea of what were were looking for. He then went out of his way to start looking for acreages outside Candle Lake. Kerry found a couple of properties, with one standing out. He took his wife for a woman's perspective and took some pictures and emailed them to us. We both fell in love with the place. We made plans to come for a viewing, but in the mean time made an offer on the house. Kerry's honesty, sincerity and drive for customer satisfaction was what convinced us to enter a buyers brokerage contract with him. Within two months Kerry found exactly what we were looking for. He kept in contact with us and when it was time to buy our house, he helped us go through all the steps required to make it go as smoothly as possible. We feel that Kerry went above and beyond his duty in finding the place we now call home! Throughout this process we feel we have also gained a friend.
Sincerely Leanne M. & Frank Zastre
Kerry was very professional and courteous. We appreciated the flexibility around our family and work schedules. Kerry offered a lot of advice about the property and surround area.

Team Braaten: We thank you very much for all the sincere effort put into selling our home, in such a short period of time. We also thank you for keeping us informed on a regular basis. You looked after our home as good as your own home when showing it. Again we say thank you "Team Braaten" as you handled the sale beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend "Team Braaten" to people when buying or selling a home.

I was attended in a competent , friendly, professional manner and relieved of the many aspects that selling a home may bring. I also felt I received a fair enough monetary value to compensate the realtor fees involved. Due to what I believed may be a lengthy and difficult procedure; I was happily impressed with Duane and would recommend the agency to my family and friends.
Maureen J.
Working with Duane Braaten has been a very positive experience. They helped us through the many twists and turns of buying and selling a home. We wouldn't have made it through without them. Thank you Team Braaten!

We heard about Duane through a friend and my mother saw your picture on the park bench beside the IGA. Thank you for your services. We will recommend you to our family and friends.
Steve & Angus S.
As far as we could see the purchase of our house went very smoothly. The timing of each phase was very good. When we had questions or concerns your office was very helpful and prompt. We are very thankful for the use of the moving trailer as it made it a lot easier to move - also the promptness.
Irving & Lois L.
First of all, I want to say thank you 100 times! This guy (Duane) is busy like you have no idea and he found me the perfect spot in less than a week-end, FANTASTIC! Professional advice, clear explanation. I don't know much about real estate and I felt comfortable from the beginning to the end. I always say "Life is Good". I ask for professional advice, and I got a friend...

We found Duane Braaten to be: friendly, knowledgeable and well informed about properties, courteous, accommodating, punctual, honest and helpful.
Don & Edna B.
We appreciated working with Kerry during the summer of 2007 as we closed on the purchase of a lot at the Candle Lake Golf Course. Kerry's professionalism and courtesies were noticed. Kerry was able to work effectively with us and the Vendor's realtor to negotiate and close the deal. Very good job!
Katherine & Kevin T.
We want to take this time to thank Kerry for his hard work. Kerry was very professional and we really enjoyed him as a real estate agent. The opinion we have of Kerry is that it wouldn't matter if you were buying a $50,000.00 piece of property or a million dollar piece of property, you would be treated equal. Thanks!
Brent L.
If we were to list again in this area we would definitely use Kerry's services. Kerry proved to be an aggressive marketer of our real estate. We did not have to wait long to a good price. Thank you Kerry.
Roger and Sophie B.
Mr. Swallow was very good to deal with and put our deal through very quickly. We were on a tight schedule and everything was done with efficiency. The whole experience was positive.

On our annual trip back to the family farm in Manitoba and about hearing about the Candle Lake Area from a friend in Calgary, Alberta we decided to go east via that area. We then had the fortunate experience of meeting realtor Kerry Swallow with whom we had an orientation lunch at the impressive golf club house and a guided tour of the lake area. We were very impressed and decided on a lot in the Glendale Subdivision area. Kerry's professionalism and energetic nature made the transaction "First Class" and would highly recommend home to friends and family. Sincerely..
Bob & Judy T.
We tried to sell our cabin for ten months with posters - only a couple of calls. We contacted Advantage Real Estate and four months after Kerry Swallow was assigned to us he had our cabin sold! We found Kerry courteous, helpful and effective. We're very happy with Kerry Swallow of Advantage Real Estate for a successful sale.
Jean M.
We were very satisfied with the service provided to us by Kerry Swallow and his real estate office Advantage Real Estate. Thank you for the prompt and efficient manner in how our transaction was handled.
Duff & Margaret F.
We found Kerry to be very professional in dealing with us and the whole transaction in general. When the deal was completed he had all the documents to our lawyer immediately and there have been no glitches. We would use him again and recommend him to our friends.
Al & Sharon C.
After having a very bad experience with another realtor we came across Kerry who was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. We had purchased two lots from Kerry last year. This year we engaged his services to sell a property. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone looking for a realtor. You can be sure your experience will be exceptionally pleasurable.
Kelley H.
Friendly, drew attention to things to take into consideration. Made to feel comfortable, easy to ask questions and not pushy when talking to you - these qualities all describe Kerry Swallow.
