Christina Carrick is a superb realtor. Here’s why:
1. As out-of-town buyers, she was always able to accommodate our last-minute visits. More importantly, she was able to seize the opportunity to visit newly listed homes so that we could get in with the first offer. This strategy ended up getting us our dream home in Three Sisters Area!
2. Christina quickly understood our family needs/desires and focused our attention on properties that met those expectations, thus saving us valuable time.
3. Canmore is unlike other Canadian cities (due to geography, proximity to Banff and Calgary, etc.) Christina grew up in Canmore, therefore she understands the intricacies of the Canmore real estate market very well. Additionally, she understands the Canmore rental market very well. This knowledge was very helpful to us as future landlords.
4. Christina kept us updated with weekly/regular listings and price changes in the market. (i.e. what property sold for what, etc.)
5. Finally, Christina is very sociable, has a good sense of humour and makes the house buying process pleasant.
Our family has executed nine real estate purchases working with realtors across Canada in the last 15 years (and one rental agreement with a realtor in the USA). Christina’s energy, diligence and work ethic set her firmly above her peers. Also noteworthy is that – in addition to being a highly professional realtor – Christina is a mother. This helped her understand our needs as parents.
With such exceptional service, she’ll soon dominate the Canmore/Banff/Kananaskis market as the Realtor of choice. If you are interested in buying a home in or around Canmore, do yourself a favour and call Christina. She’s a rare find!

We had such a positive experience with Christina. Selling your home can be stressful and easy to feel overwhelmed with all the little details and decisions that need to be made. Christina made our experience so stress-free and easy. She is very knowledgeable and we trusted her right away. She did all of the expected tasks of a realtor, but where she really won us over was all the little extras that she provided. I would highly recommend Christina and would have no questions about using her again!

We were looking for a house remotely and were very fortunate to find Christina Carrick as a realtor. She is from the Canmore area and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the Canmore real estate market. She was always aware of all properties that came on the market or were coming onto the market. She did virtual tours for us so we could make quick informed decisions without having to travel to Canmore.
Once we found a property she provided clear communication and responsiveness during the purchase negotiations and closing. It was a very seamless process.
We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Christina. She truly cares about you as a client. We have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone looking for a property.

Working with Christina Carrick took the uncertainty out of buying a house. She gives great advice and makes the real estate process seem reasonable and less intimidating. After working with Christina a few times Buying properties and having her sell my condo I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family. She gives excellent advice and is more concerned with building a long-term relationship than with the immediate sale. I always felt supported and never pressed to make a decision that wasn’t right for me. It is a pleasure to work with her and I’m very happy, both with the sale of my condo (including the price I got in a tricky market) and my new Home.

Christina helped us find and buy our daughter’s first home in Victoria, in the middle of a very hot market. We were in competition with 4 other buyers but our bid won the game. That experience was so positive that we decided to list our own home with Christina and find something a little bigger.
She sold our Fairfield home and helped us upsize to the perfect home in Oak Bay! With each of these transactions, Christina was accessible, positive, calm, profoundly effective.
Most importantly, she always listened to us! Christina is an amazing woman, rich in experience and real estate smarts. She gets the job done while remaining empathetic, honest and ethical. We trust her completely. (We love her lol!)

My partner and I met with Christina to discuss purchasing a condo in the near future, and even though we weren’t quite ready yet, she was happy to meet with us to help us get started. This was new to both of us, and Christina was great at discussing the market, current conditions, and areas she thought we could find value. When we were ready to begin searching seriously, she was great with suggesting units that might suit our needs, and worked around our busy schedules to ensure we were able to see each of the condos we wanted. When it came time to make an offer, Christina thoroughly walked us through that process, ensuring we understood everything and that it all made sense. All in all, it was a pleasure to work with Christina, and she made the daunting task of purchasing a home quite manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends and colleagues in the future.

What immediately won us over about Christina was how genuine, caring and non-pushy she is. Viewing houses with her was always fun and informative, and something we really looked forward to! Christina really listened to our needs and put a lot of time and effort into finding us our perfect home. I absolutely whole-heartedly recommend Christina as an agent; we continually give her name to friends and relatives.

As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were very pleased with the professional help provided by Ms. Christina Carrick. She was very helpful in explaining all the steps that often makes this process very stressful, especially for novices.
Christina’s experience was instrumental in making the property purchase process as smooth as it could be. She treated issues of our concern as if they were her own. She offers a good balance of professionalism and the human side of the home-buying business. She also introduced us to a very competent team of mortgage and insurance brokers. She showed remarkable dedication to bringing terms to our satisfaction and we always felt we have a friend at our side of the transaction. She was methodic, punctual, and showed excellent communication skills.

We were very happy with the service we received from Christina Carrick while looking for a house for our daughters in Victoria. Not only was she extremely efficient at her profession but she went over and above the call of duty when challenges in the process arose. Christina is a well-educated and intelligent young woman with a positive and caring attitude. She helped us muddle through our challenges without ever making us feel indebted to her. Thanks to Christina, we found the house best suited to our needs. We have no problem recommending Christina as a Realtor with superb integrity and impressive skillsets for the job.

Christina is patient and is always up for the challenge. When I have a difficult question she did not turn her back or convince me that it’s not important, she did the proper research and always got back to me with an answer. This speaks value.

Christina was the perfect real estate agent to have as a first time home buyer. What we liked best about her style was that she did not push us in any one direction, but she gave us just enough advice that we felt we could comfortably make a decision on our own. She assured us that when we found our perfect house, we would know. I was hesitant, but she was right! We are now in our new home and couldn’t be happier.

Christina’s work has been exceptional. From our first meeting through until today, Christina has been the ultimate professional. Christina walked me through the entire process so there were no surprises. She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, competent and diligent.
I was particularly struck by Christina’s patience with me. Until now, I had only ever bought one property and had never bought and sold at the same time. Christina provided good advice on the bid to purchase and on what steps I should take to get my current place ready for listing.
I am delighted with the outcome. I have a new place that ticks all of my boxes and my current condo sold in one day.
I have no hesitation in recommending Christina to friends and neighbours and have already passed along her name.
