We would not have purchased though a realtor if we had not made contact with Kendell

We needed a starter home to live in. We came to know the Platinum Team through Kendell. Kendell is just fantastic, always smiling, cheerful, not stressed, and always willing to help to find a house with our budget and our choice. We would not have purchased though a realtor if we had not made contact with Kendell. She has helped us in all aspects to find a home for us. And finally we found a house as per our budget. Thanks alot Kendell. The buy and sell process went fine and smooth except the seller did not fulfill the commitment as per our purchase contract. However Kendell is trying her best to fulfill the seller's commitment. We are very positive with Kendell. We sure will recommend Kendell to our friends and families for buying and selling properties. We wish Kendell a very great success in her career.

It was time to stop renting and get our own place. The market was slowing down but rent was still going up.

Kendell spent many, many hours showing us homes and then sealing a deal that worked for us

We're a young family and the need for more space was evident after our second child. We were referred to the Platinum Team from family members, and must say, we were impressed. Shane Parent listed our townhouse in a market that was very slow. With only a few showings, we felt that selling would not happen for a long time. Shane had some great marketing ideas, some we tired, others we passed on, and then we got an offer. Shane worked so hard to make the sale work for our needs. Once the sale was completed, Kendell Olkanych started the process of finding a home to suit our family's needs and budget. The whole Platinum Team was very patient and understanding. Kendell spent many, many hours showing us homes and then sealing a deal that worked for us. So stressful is the selling and buying process, but things really worked out well. We depended on the experience and the knowledge of the Platinum Team to help us understand the process and achieve our goal. The new home is great and we want to thank the Platinum Team for all of their support. You should call them, as you'll have the same excellent service and experience as we did.

The Rangasan Family

I was very pleasantly surprised and happy

Nathan Richards and I were co-workers a while back, and when I heard he was a Realtor I gave him a call. I owned a duplex but I was so tired of fighting with the contractors and wanted to sell, and fast. Nathan and the Platinum Team were up for the challenge. The market had slowed down and Nathan prepared me that the house may sit on the market for a while. We came up with a competitive price to list it at and it sold the day after it was listed. I was very pleasantly surprised and happy. Now I needed to find a place for myself. Nathan was awesome, taking me out to view tons of properties, as I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I needed some place soon. I decided on a cute and lovely condo on Whyte Avenue. The possession date was soon on both properties but everything ran real smooth and Nathan was on top of all matters. He kept me informed and helped with items I needed to take care of myself. I love my new place and the location is great. The whole selling and buying process was very, very quick, however, the Platinum Team made the experience smooth and easy. You need to call them and let them help you!

Melissa Masse

I would work with her again in a heartbeat

Paulo and I were in the market to buy, or "checkout" what was out there in regards to a home with an oversized triple garage/shop. We had been keeping our eyes open on our own prior to meeting Manuela, with no success. We were referred to her from a family friend that used the Platinum Team for their home purchase. Within the first week she showed us two homes with triple garages, and we purchased the second home she showed us, located in Belmont. It required renovations, but structurally and landwise, was exactly what we were looking for. Manuela was very professional, and at the same time friendly and easy to talk to. She was always prepared and organized. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her. There were complications in the transaction with the seller's realtor, and it made it very stressful and at times upsetting. The transaction had many hurdles and bumps along the way, all out of our control. Manuela handled everything very professionally and was able to put us at ease. Our best interests were her first concern. During very high stress times in working with the other parties, she was persistent and dedicated to getting the job done. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her services to others with high praise.

Paulo & Petrina Ferreira

He was tremendous!

We had been discussing the fact that we should really purchase a home, then the baby was born and the condo we were renting felt too small. The last straw was when the landlord gave us a huge rent increase. The hunt was on, but where to begin! Our friend told us about Shane Parent and the Platinum Team, as he had recently purchased a home using Shane. We met with Shane and felt we were in good hands right off the bat. He was tremendous! Shane took very good care of us, not with just the main stuff but all the little questions and fears we had. He even taught me how to use my fax machine. He always returned calls or had one of the Platinum Team members follow up with us. Even if he was unavailable we still felt like we were his only clients. Finding the home we wanted took some doing, as itâ„¢s not just about the house, but the location and potential of the house. Soon we signed on the dotted line and with no complications became homeownerâ„¢s. On moving day we were upset as the sellerâ„¢s left a lot of garbage in and around the house. One call to Shane and he had someone there in an hour to pick it all up. WOW! that man moves quick. We are greatly blessed to own a house. We are so very happy. Take that step now and call the Platinum Team, you can also be BLESSED.

The Fernando Family

Manuela was awesome

As a young couple starting a family, our dream was to buy a place of our own. Rent was going up and we decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy a home where our money was going into our future, not someone elses. I knew Manuela Videla from our daycare days, and knowing she was a realtor now, I went to her for some info. Manuela was awesome. She sat down with us and explained the whole procedure and took lots of time to listen to our wants and needs in a home. Regarding price we could afford, a place I could have a Day Home in the future, the area we wished to stay in, and a place that didnâ„¢t need too much TLC. She showed us several places and when we fell in love with one and our offer was accepted, Manuela and the Platinum Team took care of all the details. Everything went real smooth and there was no stress other than to move in." We are very, very happy in our new home and wished we had called the Platinum Team and Manuela sooner. Don't wait. Call the Platinum Team NOW! You will not be disappointed. They are all super, professional people.

We decided to invest in a home instead of paying for someone else's mortgage

Well, its an old story but with the rent escalating we decided to invest in a home instead of paying for someone else's mortgage. With the market so high three of us decided to take the plunge and buy a home together. A family member told us to call the Platinum Team. We were very pleased with the service Shane Parent provided, he was very professional, well organized and explained all that would happen clearly so there was no surprises. Though buying a home is stressful, Shane made us feel at ease and was always ready to meet our needs. We will recommend the Platinum Team to everyone looking at buying or selling a home as they're very client focused. We're very happy with the new house we purchased and when you are trying to please three different personalities, that in itself is amazing.

He delivered great service with courtesy and respect

We were so tired of renting and wanted to see our hard earned money go to somthing that was ours. We heard through friends about the Platinum Team and gave them a call. Shane Parent was excellent. He delivered great service with courtesy and respect. Our buying experience went very smooth, and we now have a home that we can call our own.

Bill & Arlene Ayotte

He was patient and always kept my families best interests in mind

I called Shane on a listing he had in the Edmonton Journal. His response to my telephone inquiry was quick and professional. Initially I was looking to sell my condo and move myself and my teenage daughter into something larger with a garage. Shane listed my property and worked hard to find me a new home. He took the time to find out what my family's needs were and was able to match that with my budget. I found Shane's no pressure approach to be very comforting. He was patient and always kept my families best interests in mind. He was very informative on the properties and provided honest feedback on any concerns I had. We sold my condo for more than most were going for in my complex, and We purchased the perfect house, with a garage and a huge yard!! The whole process was smooth, from my initial contact with Shane to the end result of my purchase and sale. My experience far exceeded my expectations. I am referring Shane to EVERYONE. I think he has an edge over most realtors. He is driven, and passionate about helping people.

The Hathan Family

He would do what ever it took to find the right home for us

My wife and I were renting a nice townhouse in the Northend we knew that we were wasting are money paying someone else's mortgage but didn't think we would qualify for our own. We started looking at assumables and ran into Shane.We talked to Shane about a listing of his, he informed us that it had already sold and that he would keep an eye open for us. Later that week he called us about a listing that had not yet hit the market and that we could be the first to see it. That wasn't the home for us but we knew then that we had to work with Shane and that he would do what ever it took to find the right home for us. He was able to get us approved for a mortgage without haveing to assume which allowed us to choose from more homes. 4 months later we were lucky enough to find the right place and got it for a great deal. We are both very busy people and I travel often for work so Shane lined up a carpet cleaner and Furnace cleaner for us before we moved in and made sure our transaction went smooth. He was there every step of the way.

My home buying experience with Shane of the Platinum Team was above and beyond the experience that I had ever expected

My home buying experience with Shane of the Platinum Team was above and beyond the experience that I had ever expected. Shane's ability to adapt to my needs was amazing. Most would have been skeptical that a 20-year-old student was serious about buying a house, but Shane never questioned my intentions, in fact, he encouraged me. I am now living in an affordable place that I can call my own. I love it. It has truly been a positive experience. I can honestly say that he treated my unique needs with pure dedication. I will be recommending the Platinum Team to my friends and family, as my friend Desiree had the courtesy to do for me.

Sara Brooks

I was looking to boost my wealth portfolio by purchasing an additional property.

I met Shane and Kendell when a friend of mine was taking possession of her new place, which she had purchased through of the Platinum Team. I wanted to surprise her with a housewarming gift, which Kendell was more than happy to help with. From there we began to discuss Real Estate and I let them know that I was looking to boost my wealth portfolio by purchasing an additional property. The Platinum Team guided me step-by-step to make sure that my buying experience was as comfortable as possible. Their expertise and attention to detail showed me that they are true professionals. I am thrilled with my property acquisition. The Platinum Team structured an incredible deal for me! I expect to work them again in the future. A giant THANK-YOU to Shane, Kendell, and the Team :)

Jodi and I bought our new home for a reasonable price and are very, very happy!

As our family began to grow, Jodi and I decided we needed a little more space and that it was time to upgrade to a bigger home. When we began working with Shane, he asked us exactly what we were looking for and we were convinced that he wanted us to be in the home that was perfect for us and our family. In fact, the home we purchased was one of the ones Shane had suggested! In the end, Jodi and I bought our new home for a reasonable price and are very, very happy! Thanks again Shane!

Jonathan & Jodi Gloss

Shane is professional and courteous, yet fun to work with.

Shane Parent of the Platinum team worked with us in the process of selling a condo and relocating to a new house. Shane suggested a variety of strategies to help sell the condo in a reasonable timeframe at a price we were happy with. He helped us through the ups and downs of finding a new house, and in the end we found the perfect new home. Shane is professional and courteous, yet fun to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the Edmonton market and had many great ideas to help with all the phases of our relocation. We would be happy to recommend Shane and the Platinum Team to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home.

Ivanna Gidlow & Jay Schapman

He always made sure we knew exactly what was happening so nothing ever felt like a surprise

As first-time home buyers we really had no idea what we doing, and Shane’s friendly and personable demeanor and extensive knowledge went a long way toward putting us at ease. When we got frustrated or stressed out by the process Shane was always incredibly positive, and reminded us we should be having fun with it. He always made sure we knew exactly what was happening so nothing ever felt like a surprise which was great for us. We especially appreciated how he took the time to explain things, and how patient he was with all of our silly questions. We would recommend Shane to anyone, especially first-time home buyers, and we’ll definitely be calling him when it’s time to sell!

Mitchell Visinski & Angela Haas

We had an extremely positive experience with a great agent and have found a home that really suits our needs.

My wife and I were relocating to Edmonton for business so we had to start looking for a place to buy. A friend and co-worker that had used Shane in the past told us about the Platinum Team. We decided to contact them so we could begin the moving process. We had to make most of our purchase decisions from a distance as we were still in the process of selling our home in Manitoba and Shane was extremely helpful, patient and acted on our behalf. We had an extremely positive experience with a great agent and have found a home that really suits our needs in our new city.

- Colin and Jenn Gilliard

I will have no reservations in using you in the future or recommending you to my friends, clients, and/or associates.

It was a great pleasure to work with Shane on my most recent investment property purchase! From day one you acted with great professionalism and a had a keen eye for a good investment opportunity. Also your willingness to look at a number of properties in less than ideal weather conditions was very much appreciated! I was most impressed by your aggressive negotiations – it likely ended up saving me thousands of dollars! I will have no reservations in using you in the future or recommending you to my friends, clients, and/or associates. Thanks again and I wish you all the best!

Rhett Bagnall

I really enjoyed working with Shane and would highly recommend him!

At the end of last summer I began looking for a condo to purchase, and I was referred to Shane Parent by my sister, Sarah. Shane had sold her the house she currently lives in and highly recommended him. I began working with Shane last fall, purchased my condo this past April and moved in at the end of June of this year. Shane was very attentive and communicated really well. He was able to answer any and all questions I had about the home buying process, and as a first time home buyer this was very reassuring. Shane’s upbeat personality made the home buying process fun with no pressure. He learned very quickly what I was looking for and was able to steer our condo searching accordingly. Shane was very patient and made it a priority to find a condo that would truly be a home for me and my son. I really enjoyed working with Shane and would highly recommend him!

Rent keeps going up and up

Rent keeps going up and up. The housing market was coming down and we felt it was our time to purchase a home. We called the Platinum Team from a For Sale sign we saw and have been working with Buyer Specialist Manuela Videla for almost a year. Manuela was great, as she assisted us in what we could expect regarding having financing in place, fees, contracts, and showing us many houses until we found the house that we would call home. Everything went real smooth, however the sellers left a lot of garbage for us to deal with and though Manuela has tired her best to have the other parties remove it we've had to deal with it. Now we're focused on some reno's and upgrading, as the house needed some TLC, but it's ours and we love it. We'll be recommending Manuela Videla and the Platinum Team to all of our friends and family. Make your call today to the Platinum Team and make your dream a reality.

Don't delay make a call to the Platinum Team NOW! You won't be disappointed

Like so many, I wanted to be a homeowner, a girlfriend at work recommend the Platinum Team. So I made the call that would change my living arrangements and life for the better. The Platinum Team was quick to hook me up with the people who would help me become the homeowner I dreamt about. They were very knowledgeable and informative, I was well aware of every step the purchasing process would take. The Platinum Team was great at finding me properties in my price range to see, it was not long and I found the home I wanted and made on offer. I was never so excited and nervous at the same time: but it all came together and here I am a homeowner and loving it. Don't delay make a call to the Platinum Team NOW! You won't be disappointed.

Lisa Goertzen

Giving the Platinum Team a call to help us sell was a no-brainer

It was off to Toronto, as I was being transferred through work, so we needed to sell our house. Selling, and selling fast was a concern as the market had slowed way down. The Platinum Team was great! They put a plan in motion and we sold two days after listing! We were all very surprised and happy. As the deal came to an end, and moving day was upon us we felt relieved that there had been NO complications and it was off to a new stage in our lives. My wife and I will be recommending the Platinum Team to all we meet as no matter where you move the Platinum Team can, and will assist!

Sean & Teri Miller

We recommend them for all your Real Estate needs!

Time to up-grade. As any growing family knows you always need more room as the children grow. Living in a townhouse just wasn't working for us anymore, and the whole selling and buying process was pretty unconventional for us. Through some friends we heard about the Platinum Team. They brought a buyer to our door and we didn't even have to list our property! While we were on holidays the Platinum Team found the house we dreamed of, so by internet and fax we made our offer and obtained our new home. It was all very fast and overwhelming, yet very exciting. As the moving date came upon us the buyer could not close on time but the Platinum Team made sure we could get into our new home. Finally, three weeks later the buyer closed, and though it was all very stressful we were kept informed on what was happening. We love our new home and look forward to making many memories in it. Give the Platinum Team a call. We recommend them for all your Real Estate needs!

Shane made the whole process flow nicely, and we couldn't believe the time and patience he had

We had a great little condo that we adored. Keyword here is little! It was time to upgrade to a bigger home. When we started to discuss selling the condo and buying a house I knew whom I would call for assistance. Shane Parent and I grew up together, and it was him who I called to help us make our dreams come true. Shane and the Platinum Team were great. In no time the papers were signed, the condo listed and SOLD before the ink was dry. Selling was easy. Now we had to find the perfect house. Shane made the whole process flow nicely, and we couldnâ„¢t believe the time and patience he had. He must have spent hours and hours searching for houses that reflected our new home criteria. He has such a great sense of humour, and though we have know each other forever, he was still very professional and totally on his game. We were amazed at the amount of houses we saw, yet when we walked into the house that we now call home, we knew it was the one. Shane and the Platinum Team kept us informed of everything that was going on. Shane helped with the do's and donâ„¢ts to make things run smooth. Now we have a wonderful home, with sufficient room to start the family we want. Whether you are upgrading or just starting out, call the Platinum Team to find your perfect home. We recommend them to everyone!

Manuela stepped in to help us find the home we wanted for our growing family

We owned a house in the west end. When we found out we were expecting, we knew we wanted to raise our family outside of the city. I knew Manuela from the daycare and she hooked us up with Shane Parent, as he is one of the Platinum Team's Listing Specialists. We met, and started the procedure to sell our home. Shane was great, as he walked us through the whole process and in no time our house was sold. Manuela who is a Buyer's Specialist, stepped in to help us find the home we wanted for our growing family. We discussed with her what our requirements were in a new home. In no time she had found the home we were looking for. The whole experience and transactions of both the sale of our house in the city and the purchase of our country digs went really well and stress free. The Platinum Team dealt with any questions or concerns quickly. We couldn't have asked for more. We love living in the country and having the space to raise our child.

We want to thank Kendell and the Platinum Team for all their help and support

To own was expensive, but renting was getting crazy, increases every time we turned around. So we decided that if we were ever going to be homeowner's the time was now. We had a friend who worked within a Realty Brokerage and gave us several realtors names to see who we'd like. After talking and meeting many, we chose to go with Kendell Olkanych of the Platinum Team. Kendell is just so sweet, and the most caring person youâ„¢ll ever meet. She was the greatest help, explaining the whole buying process, from legal papers, to showing us many homes within our budget. She really listened to our needs and wants, taking care of any issues with ease. We never worried about anything. The whole purchasing process was stress free, even when the lawyers had delays beyond our control, it all got dealt with in a timely fashion and we were able to close on time. We want to thank Kendell and the Platinum Team for all their help and support. We are very happy in our new home. Call the Platinum Team and stop paying rent. You won't be sorry.

Luis and Ana Flores

The Platinum Team was always there 100%

We loved our Condo, but as a young couple with future we knew we wanted a house. While viewing listings on MLS we spotted a house we liked and Shane Parent's picture and number was there so we gave him a call. Shane was awesome from the start; we knew we could trust him, as he was very understanding and helpful. We bought the house we loved and Shane listed the Condo, selling it quickly. You would think all would be fine and dandy but no... When it came down to closing on the Condo the Buyer failed to come up with the funds and the deal fell apart. The Platinum Team and Shane took control, answering all our questions and calming us as needed. Shane found another Buyer for our Condo and that closing went off without an issue, though it had been very stressful the Platinum Team was always there 100%. When they say new heights in client satisfaction, they mean it. Call them today you will not be sorry.

Bryan and Terra Cameron

He was the most energetic, informative and prepared realtor

We were thinking out loud, talking to some friends about upgrading our house for something a little bigger, We were given Shane's name right away from one of our friends that had used Shane in the past and was very pleased. We met with Shane and two other top agents to discuss selling our home, He was the most energetic, informative and prepared realtor we met, Shane answered all our questions promptly and did not make us feel silly for asking what might seem like simple questions. He put us at ease knowing that he was working hard for us so we did not have to worry about anything. Shane kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire process and explained everything that was going to happen. We had a Quick and Successful sale with trouble free negotiations. There were no surprises." "No one we know will Buy or Sell without meeting with Shane first.

Sean and Angela Korsan

Through the whole procedure we felt as if all our needs were a high priority and we really appreciated it

We decided to buy a house in the spring of 2006. As a young married couple we were tired of throwing money away to rentand were in a good financial situation to invest in our first house. A co-worker highly recommended the Platinum Team to assist in finding our perfect home. We gave Shane Parent a call and set up a meeting where our fears of buying our first home were diminished and many questions answered. We were anxious to find a home and were not planning to drag this process on for more than a few months. The Platinum Team went above and beyond our expectations, working around our schedule to show us homes that we may be interested in. It did not take long until we found the home we wanted. Through the whole procedure we felt as if all our needs were a high priority and we really appreciated that. We are now all settled into our first house. It is an amazing feeling to have no regrets and be totally certain that we chose the ideal home for us.

Michael & Lindsay Yasieniuk

Our first home buying experience was a piece of cake

After getting engaged we felt it was time to stop renting and buy our own home. Our first home buying experience was a piece of cake, compared to some of the horror stories we have heard about from friends. We heard about Shane from a co-worker that told us that he was an honest, hard working, and most of all a fun guy to work with. Our first meeting with Shane, he sat down with us and asked 3 questions: What type of home do you want? What area are we wanting to live in? and How much are we comfortable with spending? He was open, up front, and honest with us, something we were both extremely thankful for, being first time buyers. Gary and I were positive we would find a place we would be able to call Home. We noticed right away that Shane was willing to go the extra mile, literally, he took us to every property we wanted to see from MLS and then some that he suggested. We trusted his opinion. We had Shane running, we had only two week to find a place in order to close on time and sure enough, he found the right one...that was right for us. "Thanks again Shane for all your support, advice and the endless tanks of gas we probably went through finding our first home.

Shane Parent provided outstanding service

We were renters, and as we watched the prices of homes escalate we figured we better buy before the market was out of control. An associate told us about Platinum Team. Shane Parent provided outstanding service. He was very helpful and went out of his way to make the whole trasaction as smooth as possible. Now we're happy as we enjoy living in our new home.

Trina Heiskanen & Dave Evans

He made us feel comfortable, he was open and informative

We wanted to make some changes so we could have financial freedom in the future. We set some goals, and while we were checking into buying homes for investment purposes, we met Shane Parent at an Open House. He made us feel comfortable, he was open and informative. Shane assisted us in meeting our goals and everything ran really smooth. We feel good about the two properties we purchased in today's market.

Christopher & Beth Nayet

We are all settled into our new home and are grateful to Shane for making it a painless and very informative process

My wife and I were in the market to buy our first home as a married couple. I had used Shanes services in the past to buy my first home and since the experience was positive, we decided to ask Shane to list our previous home and to begin looking for a new residence. We saw many homes with Shane as he narrowed down our likes and dislikes. Within two weeks we had seen a house, fresh on the market that was perfect for us. A month later, we are all settled into our new home and are grateful to Shane for making it a painless and very informative process. When we decide to move again, Shane will definately get a call from us!

Not only did he educate me about the market and while doing so made the experience incredibly entertaining

After months of scouring the Internet drooling over houses, I finally decided it was time to purchase a place of my own. Knowing many real estate agents, the choice came rather naturally, once I realized what I was looking for. I wanted someone who would give me the attention I would need/deserve, information - without me having to pull it out of them and most importantly I needed to have a good time while I was doing this house hunting business. At this point the decision made its self, Shane was it and I certainly made a good choice. Not only did he educate me about the market and while doing so made the experience incredibly entertaining. Shane was able to read me, he could tell if I was interested in a place right away and he was honest with me about what was realistic. I have been in my house now for several months and love it immensely. I'm so grateful to have gone through this experience with someone who is not only knowledgeable about real estate and new buyers, but who exudes passion and excitement about their job and helping you find what you are looking for. Thank you Shane and the Platinum Team. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Sarah Jackson

Shane made a very stressful part of our lives a lot easier, and went out of his way to help us where ever he could.

Shane was our realtor when we purchased our first home, so when it was time to sell, we knew exactly who to call. We were considering a rather large move to the USA, and called Shane to talk about the housing market as part of our decision process. He came out to the house and talked about where the market was, where it was heading, and what we would be looking at as a list price on our home. When it came time to list, he took care of everything. Our house was on the market only 4 days when we got our first offer, which was followed by another offer the following day. Shane was great in negotiating and getting us more than asking price on our home. He made a very stressful part of our lives a lot easier, and went out of his way to help us where ever he could.

Trina & Dave Evans

This was one of the most stressful times in my life, and Shane brought sensitivity and a great sense of humor to my situation

After twenty two years of marriage, I found myself needing a great divorce lawyer, and an equally great realtor. A good friend said he'd get me a realtor, and a little while later, I got a call from Shane Parent. He explained how he got my phone number, and we chatted for a bit, so he could get an idea as to what I was looking for. I was not yet ready to look at houses, but he set me up with an automated e-mail notification, so I was able to start getting an idea as to what was out there. I had not lived in Edmonton before, so I also needed to find out about the different neighbourhoods, which he patiently helped me with. Over the course of the four months we worked together, I changed what type of house I wanted to buy a couple of times, and each time Shane adjusted his search for me, so I kept getting daily e-mails as to houses that would work for me. At times I would get discouraged, but then I'd get new e-mail notification, and I was able to focus on what I needed: a home for my daughter, myself and our two dogs. When it came time to start looking at houses, Shane was awesome. He patiently drove my daughter and myself around Edmonton looking at different properties in several different neighbourhoods, and explained what each area had to offer. He pointed out some of the "guy" things in the houses that I was considering, such as electrical panels, foundations and pipes, where I was looking at the kitchen cupboards, closets and ensuites! This was one of the most stressful times in my life, and Shane brought sensitivity and a great sense of humor to my situation. He was so patient with me, and I felt very at ease with him. Before too long, I was under amazing pressure to buy a home and get out of the marital home very quickly, so Shane, my daughter and I headed out with one goal: to buy my home, one that I could move into quickly. It seemed that there were so many things working against me, but Shane was very up beat, and confident that I would do it. He showed me a property that I'd not checked out on line, and it was perfect!! We looked at several other houses that day that I thought would work, but none of them did. The first house that I looked at that day is now my beautiful home. It was vacant, so I was able to take possesion in three weeks, which was what I needed. It is everything I was looking for in a home, I am so happy here. I had bought several houses in the past, but always with my then husband. Being a first time home buyer was rather daunting, but he explained everything to me, and never once made me feel that I was asking a stupid questions. Shane was there for the home inspection, and once again he displayed great patience and honest concern for me. He wanted to make sure that I got the best deal, and I did. I would confidently recommend Shane and his Platinum Team to anyone buying or selling.

I was lucky to come across the Platinum Team and am extremely pleased with the services they have provided for me

This past quarter I was looking for a rental property in Northern Edmonton and luckily stumbled across a talented agent named Kendell Olkanych from the RE/MAX Platinum Team through a referral. With her expertise and knowledge in real estate investing she was able to guide me down the right path and assist me in purchasing my first rental property. Kendell not only demonstrated that she could find the perfect property for my needs; however, she also negotiated a solid offer and deal for both parties to be extremely happy with. She was able to work her schedule efficiently around my schedule and worked around the clock to locate my ideal revenue property. I was lucky to come across the platinum team through a referral and am extremely pleased with the services they have provided for me. I look forward to the next property and maintaining an excellent relationship with Kendell and Shane from the RE/MAX Platinum Team.
