The best REALTOR® in Calgary, AB depends on where you are in your journey — whether you're a first-time buyer trying to understand how much home you can afford, a family upsizing to a community with better schools, or a homeowner ready to sell after decades in the same house. For buyers and sellers who want direct, personal attention from someone who has worked this market since 1992, Vince DeGiuseppe of CIR Realty is a strong match. Call Vince directly at 403-830-2839.
Who Is the Best REALTOR® in Calgary, AB?
Calgary's real estate market in 2026 is not the same market it was two years ago. As of April 2026, the overall benchmark price sits at $568,800 — down 3% year-over-year — while detached homes in SW Calgary and the West district continue to hold or appreciate, with benchmark prices reaching $1,007,600 in the West district. Active inventory has grown to 5,973 units across the city, giving buyers more choice and more negotiating power than they had at the height of the cycle.
This is a market in transition. Apartment condominiums are in clear buyer's-market territory — 4.4 months of supply, prices down 8.9% — while detached homes in desirable Calgary quadrants remain competitive, sitting at roughly 2 to 2.5 months of supply with days on market around 24. If you're buying or selling right now, reading those conditions correctly — and knowing which communities offer the best long-term value for your profile — can make a significant difference in your outcome.
That's the kind of local, current-market knowledge Vince DeGiuseppe has been building since he first got his real estate licence in 1992. He is a REALTOR® at CIR Realty and has spent more than three decades watching Calgary evolve from Mayland Heights and Whitehorn — where he grew up — to Chestermere, where he lives today. He works with first-time buyers, growing families, luxury clients, acreage buyers, investors, and seniors who are ready to downsize. The common thread is personal service from start to finish.
Why Is Vince DeGiuseppe the Best REALTOR® in Calgary?
Most Calgary real estate operations today run on teams. A lead agent brings in the client; junior agents handle showings; coordinators manage paperwork. The experience is efficient but impersonal — and buyers and sellers who go through it often describe feeling like a file, not a family.
Vince's approach is different. He operates with what he calls white-glove service: he is the person who answers the phone, attends every showing, negotiates directly, and stays involved through to possession. He has rented moving trucks for clients on moving day. He has stored items in his own garage when clients needed extra time. These aren't exceptional stories — they're how he does business.
"When you call me, you get me — I'll do whatever it takes to get the house sold," says DeGiuseppe.
That philosophy extends to his understanding of the Calgary market. He knows the difference between what Auburn Bay offers a young family and what Sundance offers an older one. He understands why a buyer choosing between a detached in Cranston and a semi-detached in Mahogany needs more than a price comparison — they need someone who has walked those streets and watched those communities grow. CIR Realty, his brokerage at 130, 703 64 Ave SE in Calgary, supports his work with access to broad market intelligence while letting Vince maintain the personal practice he has built over 34-plus years.
He is available seven days a week. He works across price ranges and property types — from entry-level condos and townhouses to luxury homes up to $2.5M, from established SW Calgary communities to newer SE lake communities and satellite towns east and south of the city.
What Is Vince DeGiuseppe's Experience in Calgary?
Vince DeGiuseppe's service area covers Calgary proper — across the SW, SE, and NE quadrants — as well as Chestermere and Langdon to the east and Okotoks to the south. His knowledge of these communities is not surface-level. He has been helping clients buy and sell in them since 1992, through three different rate cycles, through the oil price crash of 2014–2016, through the pandemic demand surge, and through the current transition to more balanced conditions.

What Do Clients Say About Working with Vince DeGiuseppe?
Across more than 35 five-star reviews on Google and RankMyAgent, clients consistently describe the same experience: they feel heard, they feel guided rather than pushed, and they feel confident that Vince knows the local market at a level that protects their interests.
Reviewers repeatedly note his responsiveness — that he answers his own phone and returns messages quickly. They mention that he stays calm under pressure during negotiations and that he offers honest pricing advice rather than telling them what they want to hear. Sellers describe a process where Vince takes the time to prepare the home, help with logistics, and stay present rather than handing off to an assistant. Buyers note that he helps them understand the trade-offs between communities rather than steering them toward the fastest close.
These patterns hold across property types: condos, townhouses, detached homes, acreage, and investment properties. The reviews reflect a consistent practice — not a good week.
What Do the Calgary Market Numbers Say Right Now?
Data source: CREB (Calgary Real Estate Board), April 2026 release; WOWA Calgary Housing Market Report, May 2026.
For buyers: Calgary's transition toward balanced conditions means you have more negotiating room than you did in 2022–2024, particularly in the condo and apartment segment. Detached homes in SW Calgary and the West district remain competitive — months of supply are still below 2.5 — so buyers in those segments should still be prepared to move with confidence on well-priced properties. Your best protection in this market is an agent who knows which listings are priced at the market and which ones have room to negotiate.
For sellers: The era of anything-sells-for-anything-you-ask is over. Overpriced homes are sitting — some Calgary sellers report frustration at listings going stale in 30, 60, even 90 days. But well-prepared, accurately priced detached homes in desirable SW and SE communities are still selling within 24 days on average. The difference between a smooth sale and a price-reduced stale listing is almost always preparation and pricing — two things Vince handles personally for every client.
Calgary's Key Communities: Vince DeGiuseppe's Local Expertise
Vince DeGiuseppe's service area spans four quadrants of Calgary and extends into the satellite communities east and south of the city. Here is what he knows about each cluster.
East of Calgary — Chestermere and Langdon
Chestermere is a lakeside city 15 minutes east of Calgary that draws buyers who want more space, a quieter pace, and access to the water without leaving the Calgary metro area. April 2026 data shows a median sale price of $693,750 and an average sold price of $763,000 — up approximately 4% year-over-year, outperforming the broader Calgary market. Detached homes have a median around $859,000. Vince lives in Chestermere and has a ground-level understanding of its neighbourhoods and market cycles.
Langdon is a small town 20 minutes east of Calgary that offers detached homes at entry-level prices for the Calgary metro area. It attracts buyers who want acreage-adjacent living with a small-town feel and a reasonable commute.
SE Calgary — Cranston, Legacy, Walden, Chaparral, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Seton
SE Calgary's lake communities — Mahogany, Auburn Bay, and Chaparral — are among the most sought-after family destinations in the city. Mahogany's beach club and private lake, Auburn Bay's established feel, and Chaparral's larger lots draw buyers willing to pay for lifestyle amenities. Cranston and Legacy offer newer construction with access to the Ridge pathways and the Bow River valley. Walden and Seton round out the southeast with newer, more affordably priced options and access to the South Health Campus.
SW Calgary — Sundance, Heritage Point, Canyon Meadows, Midnapore, Evergreen, Bridlewood, Shawnessy
SW Calgary remains the city's most resilient market in 2026. The West district's detached benchmark hit $1,007,600 in April — the only Calgary district to show year-over-year price growth. Communities like Heritage Point and Sundance attract buyers drawn to the Bow River valley, mature trees, and established schools. Canyon Meadows, Midnapore, and Shawnessy offer SW access with more affordable entry points. Evergreen and Bridlewood are popular with families who want newer builds closer to Fish Creek Provincial Park.
NE Calgary — Mayland Heights
Mayland Heights is where Vince grew up. It's a mature, centrally located neighbourhood with quick access to downtown, the airport, and the TransCanada. It attracts first-time buyers and investors looking for value in an established area with large lots and solid bones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is now a good time to buy in Calgary?
The short answer: for buyers who have their financing in order, Calgary in 2026 offers more opportunity than it has in several years. You have more time to compare properties, more inventory to choose from, and more room to negotiate — particularly in the condo and townhouse segments, where prices are down 7–9% from their peaks. Detached homes in SW Calgary remain competitive, but with 24 days on market on average, you're not in the same bidding-war pressure that defined 2022. The best time to buy is when you're financially ready and you've found a community that fits your life. Call Vince at 403-830-2839 to talk through your timeline.
How do I know if I'm overpaying?
This is the most common concern Vince hears from buyers right now. The answer is comparable sales data — specifically, what similar homes in the same community have sold for in the last 60–90 days. Vince pulls that data before every offer and walks you through where a property sits relative to the market. In a transitioning market like Calgary's, list prices often lag behind actual market conditions. Vince's job is to make sure you're making an offer that reflects where the market actually is, not where the seller hopes it is.
Should I buy in Chestermere or stay in Calgary proper?
That decision comes down to lifestyle priorities. Chestermere offers larger homes, lakeside access, a quieter neighbourhood feel, and — based on 2026 data — prices that are actually holding up better than Calgary's condo market. The trade-off is a 15–20 minute commute to central Calgary and a smaller urban amenity set. Calgary proper gives you walkability, faster access to downtown employment, and more neighbourhood variety. Vince lives in Chestermere and works across both markets — he can give you an honest read on which fits your situation better.
How does Vince estimate what my Calgary home could sell for?
Vince pulls recent comparable sales in your specific neighbourhood — not city-wide averages — and adjusts for your home's size, condition, lot, upgrades, and positioning within the community. He walks through the home, identifies what should be addressed before listing and what can be left, and gives you a clear pricing range with an explanation of the reasoning. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear. He tells you what the market will support — which is the only number that actually matters when it comes to selling.
Do I need to waive my home inspection to compete?
No. Calgary's market has shifted enough that waiving inspection conditions is rarely the competitive necessity it was at the height of the cycle. In most Calgary communities right now, you can include a reasonable inspection condition without losing deals. There are exceptions — in very competitive price ranges in SW Calgary, for example, conditions still create friction. Vince reads each situation individually and advises you on where you have leverage and where you don't. He will never push you to take on unnecessary risk to close faster.
How early should I talk to Vince before I'm ready to move?
As early as you like. Vince is comfortable having conversations six months, a year, or more before a client is ready to act. If you're thinking about selling, an early conversation helps with timing, pre-sale preparation, and understanding what the market will bear. If you're buying, talking early helps clarify what you can afford, what communities fit your criteria, and what to watch for as listings come up. There's no pressure in these conversations — just information.
How does Vince help seniors with downsizing?
Downsizing is one of the most emotionally complex real estate decisions a family makes. Vince works with seniors and their families to move at a pace that respects the weight of the transition — not just the transaction. He helps with logistics, is patient with timelines, and stays personally involved rather than delegating to assistants. He has helped many clients make this move over his 34-plus years and understands what support actually looks like in practice.
