Ray was a gem to work with. Explained the process, was very supportive, excellent communication both verbally & electronically. We have dealt with many realtors over the years but would say Ray was by far the best! Have recommended him to several others & will certainly call him again if we require his services in the future. Thank you, Ray!

Kara:
There is no one else we would ever consider doing a property deal through other than Ray. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, kind and always makes time to support your property search. He brings a calm, even approach to what is often one of the biggest financial decisions a person makes in their life (buying/selling a home). He accommodated all our our timelines, and always made us feel like our deal was his top priority. He was an excellent negotiator for us and really encouraged us towards some approaches that we are confident helped us to secure the purchase of the home we wanted, and then get top dollar for the home we in turn sold. We have and will continue to recommend Ray to everyone we know looking to buy/sell.
Ross:
Ray has been very courteous, patient, and diligent in his services. We had to offer on multiple properties due to market conditions and he has been very competent and a great professional throughout the whole process.
Eddie:
I had the pleasure of working with Ray, an outstanding realtor, and I cannot recommend him enough. From the very first interaction to the closing of our new home, he demonstrated exceptional qualities that set them apart from the rest. One of the most remarkable attributes of this realtor was his unmatched patience. Despite our house search spanning years, Ray never once pressured us into a buying a home or got frustrated with us after showing us home after home after home. Throughout the process, Ray showed unwavering support and understanding, making us feel confident, optimistic and comfortable at every step. Responsiveness was another area where Ray truly excelled. He was incredibly prompt in answering our inquiries, whether it was a phone call, text message, or email. I never had to wait long for a response, and it made the entire home-buying process feel seamless and stress-free. Ray was always quickly available for a showing which is a must in today’s market where it is common for a house to be listed and sold within a day. Beyond his responsiveness, his knowledge of the real estate market was truly impressive. He was well-versed in the neighborhoods we were interested in and provided valuable insights about each property we visited. His expertise was evident as they pointed out both the positive aspects and potential drawbacks of each home, ensuring I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions including quickly providing recent sales of comparable properties. Professionalism was ingrained in every aspect of our interactions. Ray was punctual, organized, and well-prepared for all our appointments, demonstrating his commitment to delivering a top-notch service. His dedication to finding the right home for us was evident throughout our collaboration. I never felt like just another client; he genuinely cared about matching us with the perfect property. His guidance and negotiating skills during the final stages of the purchase were invaluable, resulting in a successful and smooth closing process. In short, my experience with Ray was nothing short of exceptional. His patience, responsiveness, knowledge, and professionalism exceeded all expectations. Thanks to their efforts, I am now a proud homeowner and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond for their clients, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend this realtor to anyone in need of expert guidance in the real estate market.
Kevin:
What else can I say about this fine agent and incredibly individual. Ray has high integrity, and he has an incredible way of dealing with people. He involves you as the client in the decision making process, balancing the offer of guiding advice and letting the client come to a decision after discussion. Ray is highly experienced and is able offer sage advice at every point in the overall listing and offer negotiation process. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with, and you can tell that he works cooperatively with other agents. Some people have a quality and genuineness about them that resonates with other people, and Ray exemplifies this at all times. He and Bea make a great team, and I trust them implicitly. Such great people and so highly professional, while also being so incredibly personable! Much respect!!
Amanda Malkiewich:
What I liked most Working with Ray:
My husband and I relocate frequently for work and have sold many houses. Out of all of our past experiences, Ray Cote has been our favourite realtor. Ray is professional, prompt in his responses, well-versed in market knowledge, open to ideas and easy to work with.
Even with a difficult market and a down-turn economy in Calgary, our home was able to sell in only a few weeks.
I would highly recommend hiring Ray Cote to anyone looking to buy or sell in Calgary.

Shaeney Miller:
What I liked most about working with Ray:
Ray was open and honest with us about the market. He knew the challenges that we were going to face and the area that we were listing in. Ray has years of experience behind him, which we believe, helped to sell our house. As soon as we signed the contract, he made arrangements to have the photographer in and to get our house on the market. We know that we needed to move quickly as the market was going to be flooded with homes and within 2 days we had approved everything and the listing was up. House was sold for asking price to the first couple that came and saw it.
Ray provides such personalized service. We felt comfortable with him right from the start.
Is there anything that your Realtor could have done to improve your selling/buying experience?
Absolutely nothing. We had an amazing experience and 3 months later we can’t believe that we sold our house for asking price to the first people who saw it.
Please provide a short testimonial about your experience?
We had such an amazing experience dealing with Ray. We interviewed realtors and found that the “Team Approach wasn’t going to give us the service that we wanted and felt that our house needed. With his years of experience and knowledge of the neighbourhood, our house sold on the first day in a difficult market. We can not thank him enough for his easy going nature and his skills as a realtor. We would definitely recommend him.
Kevin & Cheryl Jabusch:
Ray first represented us in purchasing our current home in Calgary in 1995. We had worked with many realtors over the previous 10 years and we can truly say that working with Ray was a unique experience. He was committed to help us find the right home for the right price and his ability to conduct business negotiations with a warm manner the highest level of integrity made the process rewarding and enjoyable.
Since that time Ray has helped two of our grown children find their first homes. Ray had the patience and commitment to help them learn the market and then guide them through the emotional first home buying process. We often witnessed him advising patience and selectivity which we found extremely refreshing in the commissioned sales business. We will definitely recommend Ray to our youngest son and would not hesitate to use him again ourselves when it is time to downsize.
