Justin is a very motivated and outgoing agent, result-oriented and will maximize any opportunity in the client's best interest.
Highly recommended and we look forward to maintaining our working relationship with him and his team in the coming years.

When we made the difficult decision to sell our family home after 25 years, we set out to find an empathetic yet savvy real estate agent who would work hard for us. We had a prime land location and knew it was worth a good deal. We were looking for a real estate agent who would find the best deal they possibly could, all the while making us their priority. After meeting with a few agents, we settled on Justin Warthe, who said he understood how difficult this journey would be for us, and would work only for our best interests. This turned out to be a false claim that we found out the hard way.
After signing with Justin, the first red flag quickly appeared. He told us that he had a buyer, and that he had been working “with” the buyer for some time. Justin was, in fact, not just working for us, but also for the buyer. To our dismay, this practice is legal in Alberta.
We learned that, as we had already signed a contract with Justin, if we were to back out of that contract, we would still have to pay him a commission on the sale of our house in the following months, even if he was no longer our agent. We reluctantly stayed with Justin, as we really didn’t want to pay double the fees.
Justin told us that the deal we got from his buyer was the absolute ceiling. But was it? At one point during negotiations, we asked Justin to go back to the buyer, and one other buyer who was in the mix, with our counter offer. Justin later admitted he only went back to his buyer. At this point it was impossible to trust that he was acting in our best interest. We just had to hope we weren’t leaving money on the table.
The second red flag was that the paperwork that came our way from Justin constantly had multiple errors. We had to follow up almost every time a legal document was sent our way to sign, to get things corrected. We retained an excellent lawyer at Clark and Clark, who helped us navigate these muddy waters.
The bottom line is this - if you retain Justin Warthe as your real estate agent, make darn sure he’s working for you, and only you. And make sure you have an excellent real estate lawyer to help you through the process. We wish we had known then what we know now.

It is my great pleasure to recommend Justin W, Cameroon Burke for helping me in purchasing our first home in Calgary. As part of a company relocation plan, Justin was recommended to me by the 3rd party relocation company. From the time i contacted him to the time the keys of our new home was handed over to me, it has been nothing but a solid, professional home-buying experience. Due to my tight turnaround time and especially in a hot Calgary realty market, it was essential to ensure that house was purchased without getting into a bidding war and at a discount. Cameroon worked very hard and diligently with me to ensure that everything was done suavely. We had a difficult selling realtor and Cam managed him very well to ensure that the deal closed on time.
To conclude, it was a wonderful home buying experience!

Justin is an incredible realtor. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. He is a very hard working and knowledgeable professional with superb communication and dedication. Justin knows the market very well and his inputs and suggestions towards the sale of our properties were what led to the successful process. At the same time he is very easy to deal with. I was very impressed with Justin, Paige and their whole team and will definitely be working with them in the near future!

The property that Mr. Warthe helped my husband and I with was not our first purchase. We found Mr. Warthe to be very knowledgeable, respectful and competent. Mr. Warthe handled everything in a very professional manner with the previous owner's agent and ourselves, therefore, facilitating a smooth transaction. We knew that we would be renovating our property and he was also very helpful in this regarding as well. We purchased our property in Dec. 2012 and we still keep in touch with Justin. Both my husband and I would use Mr. Warthe's services again and would recommend him to others.

I've had experiences with Justin Warthe on 3 different occasions. We met at an "open house" the first time. We visited a couple houses on the same day , with no agent . We were looking for a second home in Okotoks for investment purposes in 2016 , so because we had no agent, we had Justin's business card and asked him to help us in our pursuit of a home. We checked out a few homes over a 4 month period but decided to wait till 2017.
In 2017 , we we decided to make another attempt. Again we approached Justin and over a 3 month period , we made a purchase.
I am not your normal client. I travel out of the country for work , so I was only available to view homes on weekends and usually would ask for last minute viewings. I am very hard to work with, impatient. So my agent had to go the extra mile.
Justin was always available , punctual and went out of his way to help us out. He was always pleasant , respectful. We felt comfortable working with him.
So this year, 2020 I was looking for another home to purchase for my daughter and an investment.
Didn't hesitate to contact Justin, as my wife and I have the upmost respect for him as a person and agent. Again, we spent 1 month viewing at least 35 homes and about to make a purchase but because of the Covid - 19 pandemic .... Our venture was put on hold.!!!
When, the world returns to normal , hopefully soon ,we will pick up , where we left off.
I personally , would recommend Justin Warthe for sale or purchase of a home.

Had my home listed with another realtor who overpriced my house in the current market and hardly had any people looking at it. Also never suggested I do anything to my house to make it a better sell.Cancelled my contract with them a 2% realty company. Brought in Justin and he immediately brought in a stager. I got an offer right away and he did great in bringing up the buyer 20,000 dollars. He was great to deal with. Was really hoping for more money, but due to the bad sellers market I was happy to sell my house. I would definitely recommend him

Justin is truly passionate about real estate but, more importantly, he is passionate about people. Put those two passions together = the best person possible to represent you in your search for the place you call home. He gets it!!

Justin, Paige and Team did an outstanding job for me in a challenging market. He was collaborative, coached me along the way and was especially helpful in my pricing and marketing strategy. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional and effective sell-side experience!

Justin Warthe was recommended to me from another friend who has used his service a number of times in the past. At first I was not sure about using someone who did not live in the area however the package that was presented to me prior to listing the home made it abundantly that he had done his homework and showed me the true value of the home for my area. I have recommended Mr. Warthe to my neighbor as well and his house also recently just sold in this very quiet market. Overall, I had no issues with Justin Warthe and glad my house is sold in such a "bad" market.

Justin was a great agent with selling our property and purchasing our new one.
Justin, Paige and Kent were always available to answer questions and ensured we were happy with all of the outcomes. They took time to show us all properties we were interested in and solidified a purchase price that we were pleased with on both sides on the deal.
We would highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. They truly have your best interest at heart!
