Dear Kathy:
Buying a new home is never an easy experience. Throw in a 9½ month old daughter
and the fact that we live 7½ hours away from Edmonton, and you have the
potential for disaster! But, throw in a realtor like yourself, and buying
a home becomes not only a piece of cake, but a wonderful experience!
Kathy, you amazed us right from the beginning. You listened to everything
that we wanted in a home and you kept us up-to-date, via e-mail, on all
new houses that came on the market. This guaranteed that our trip from
Swift Current to Edmonton would be one in which no time was wasted. You
took us to every single home that we wanted to see. At each home, you
listened to our comments and made us feel that we were the most important
clients that you had ever had. The service that you provided to us was
positively exemplary!
Once we realized that the home we wanted was really our “old”
home in Edmonton, you immediately stepped up to the plate and contacted
the new owner. You even contacted other homeowners in the area to see
if they were interested in selling! Needless to say, thanks to your persistence,
your insight, and your dedication, we are now moving into an absolutely
stunning home – the home of our dreams!
The time that you devoted to us, along with the patience that you had
as we proceeded from the stage of “looking” to that of “buying”,
is appreciated more than you will ever know. You were professional, courteous,
insightful, enthusiastic, and honest – from the beginning through
to the end.
Group was over. Once the deal had closed (via telephone and fax –
another great service that I appreciated), Kevin and I raved about the
service that we received. At that point, we thought that the service from
The Schmidt Imagine our surprise when a bouquet of flowers arrived –
congratulating us on our purchase. Then, a few days later, we receive
business card holders and change of address cards. The exceptional service
never ends!
Rest assured that everyone we know will hear of the absolutely amazing
service that we received from you and from Jody. What a team!!!!!!

Being a first-time home buyer brings with it many questions and much confusion.
Jeff’s knowledge and enthusiasm made us realize what good hands we
were in. His friendly manner in which he does business created a level of
trust, comfort, and confidence beyond what we could have ever expected.
Thank you again for making this such a smooth and wonderful experience.
Rene George &
The George Family - July 2005
As a first time home buyer, I had to place a lot of trust in my realtor
to give me honest and accurate information. Kathy (in conjunction with her
realty team) provided not only excellent customer service but made me feel
comfortable with the entire home buying experience – staring right
from deciding what type of home would meet my needs to the final purchase
agreement. I would highly recommend to anyone considering a real estate
purchase to contact The Schmidt Group first.

We loved working with The Schmidt Group to sell our home when re-locating

in having to move so quickly. Their expertise, energy and dedication were
phenomenal. As with any real estate venture, there were a few bumps in the
road, but you steered us through them smoothly. Our gratitude goes to Kathy,
Jody, Sabrina, Larry and the rest of The Schmidt Group!

Kathy and Larry are pleasant to deal with and most of all they are very
professional. During the period our house was on sale we had to leave for
Europe. With their dedication and professionalism we managed to conclude
the transaction by phone, fax, and email. It was a real relief to know that
we did not have to stress over all those procedures and paperwork.
Veronique Flambard and Stephane
Vigeant- January 2003

especially when it came to negotiating the sale of our home. We would recommend
Kathy to our friends and family.
Tim Loreman & Lizz Zahary-
December 2002
As first time home buyers, my husband and I were pretty much clueless! Having
Kathy as our agent was the best choice we could have made. Her service was
excellent, from the time we first entered her office, to the moment she
handed us the keys to our new home. Honest, optimistic and attentive, we
would recommend Kathy & Larry in a heartbeat!
Julie Norell- November
2002
I really appreciated Kathy’s recognition of the challenge in pricing
my older character home, of the benefits and risks of different prices,
and in developing tentative plans for adjusting price as necessary. Kathy
and Larry created also high quality print and web marketing materials. And
the few extra dollars from their win-win commission formula helped when
moving into my new house.
David Deephouse- October
2002
I highly recommend Kathy and Larry Schmidt. They are professional, friendly
and maintained good communication with us throughout the process.

been filled with stress.
Jesse Wilson- April
2002
We are very satisfied clients of Kathy and Larry Schmidt. Our sales success
was due to their committed focus and understanding of our sales objective.
As our realtors, we found them professional, informed, capable, and assessable
at all times. We both recommend and endorse them as front runners in Real
Estate in Edmonton Southwest.
Phillip Butterfield & Karen
Dyberg- February 2002
We were scared, nervous and apprehensive about taking the big leap from
apartment dweller to home owner. Kathy guided us along the path: teaching
us what to look for when viewing a property, providing emotional support
for the inevitable highs and lows, and keeping us focused on our “must
have” list when desperation made us want to accept just anything.
Sandy Foy and Rick Leaker- February
