Jacky van der Ven - Okotoks and area realtor® @ CIR Realty

If you are looking for a dedicated, friendly, thorough, and all round incredible realtor, look no further! From our first conversation with Jacky we knew she would be a perfect fit. She was SO thorough, went through absolutely everything with us, which was perfect as we were first time home buyers. She never ever pressured us, always encouraging us to go home and talk it over for a few days after a viewing. She was always very open about the pros and cons of each home, and always came prepared with thorough research in case there had been previous issues with the home. Jacky went above and beyond as a realtor, always keeping us in the loop and checking in with us every week, educating us on the many aspects of buying a home we weren't familiar with, and holding our hands through the buying process. She was fun to work with and made the whole process so much easier! Our mortgage broker even commented on what a thorough and caring realtor we had when Jacky gave us a ton of advice on what to ask when meeting with the broker. She also recommended a fantastic home inspector, which made the process so relaxed. We LOVE Jacky and really cannot recommend her enough, to anyone looking for a home, but especially to first time buyers like us who want someone smart, kind, professional and knowledgeable to guide them through their largest purchase! Thank you so much, Jacky! We are so happy in our new home and couldn't have done it without you!

Jacky helped us purchase a house six years ago so when we recently decided to sell, Jacky was our first and only consideration. We made a great decision as our experience the second time around was like the first. Jacky is everything you want in an agent. Always available and communicates frequently and timely, very knowledgeable , honest, friendly, proactive, professional, reliable and gets results. I wouldn't hesitate to use Jacky again in the future.

Jacky has been our realtor for our first home purchase and also the sale and purchase of our second home. We found her to be very professional but friendly, very efficient and thorough !! We would highly recommend her:)

I would recommend Jacky to any and all of my family and friends. I took time to research a realtor who cared for all of her clients equally and possessed great market experience both online and in person. Jacky was my #1 choice when I sold my house and purchased another house this fall. She is responsive, thoughtful, personable and professional. Her integrity for both the buying and selling is unmatched from listing to viewings to negotiation skills and handling/explaining the paperwork of selling and buying. I am very thankful for Jacky's partnership as I was informed and confident through the whole process. Give her a call - you won't regret it!

I was visiting friends in Okotoks and decided on the spur of the moment to purchase a summer home there - I chose to work with Jacky. I had a limited amount of time to find a place and take care of details. Jacky found me a good number of choices to look at quickly. Most importantly, she listened to me and heard what was important to me. Within the week, I was able to look at a long list of options and found something. She connected me with all the right people to facilitate the financing and sale. I have now closed on the property and couldn't be more excited. Jackie has a very personable manner and I would work with her again without hesitation. I would recommend her to anyone I knew and know they would be as happy with her as I am.
