What Wally helps with
Buying a home in Edmonton
Wally works with first-time buyers, move-up buyers and people relocating to Edmonton from out of province. That includes narrowing down which communities fit your budget and commute, booking showings around your schedule, flagging problems during viewings, and handling the offer and conditions. Start with the full Edmonton MLS® search.
Selling a home in Edmonton
For sellers, the work starts with pricing and preparation, then professional photography, listing on the Edmonton MLS® system, coordinating showings and negotiating offers. See the marketing plan for how listings get promoted, or request a home valuation.
Condos and high-rise buildings
Condos work differently from houses: condo fees, reserve fund studies, bylaws and building history all matter, and two units in the same tower can be very different investments. Wally maintains detailed guides to Edmonton buildings, including Symphony Tower, Legends Private Residences, SKY Residences and The Ten. Browse all high-rise condos for sale.
Commercial property
About 20% of Wally's business is commercial real estate, from investment buildings to owner-occupied space. Commercial deals run on different timelines and different questions than residential ones, and having done both helps when a client is doing one of each.
Acreages near Edmonton
Wally also sells acreages in the Edmonton area, where water, septic, access and zoning matter as much as the house itself.
What working with Wally looks like
If you're buying
- A conversation first. What you're looking for, your budget, your timeline, and whether now is actually the right time to buy.
- Financing before shopping. If you don't have a mortgage pre-approval, Wally can introduce you to brokers he has worked with for years.
- Searching and viewing. You get listings that fit your criteria, and showings scheduled around your work, not his.
- Offers and negotiation. Wally prepares a comparable-sales review before you make an offer, so your number is based on evidence rather than the asking price.
- Conditions and possession. Inspection, financing and condo document review where it applies, through to possession day.
If you're selling
- A walkthrough and valuation. Wally tours the property and prepares a price range based on comparable sales, not a single guess.
- Preparation advice. What's worth fixing or staging before listing, and what isn't worth the money.
- Listing and marketing. Professional photography, MLS® listing, and the promotion outlined in the marketing plan.
- Showings and feedback. Regular updates on what buyers are saying and what the showing traffic means for your price.
- Offers to closing. Reviewing every offer's terms, not just the number, and negotiating from there.
How to choose a real estate agent in Edmonton
Whether or not you work with Wally, these questions are worth asking any agent you interview:
- How many homes did you personally sell last year? Ask about their own transactions, not their brokerage's or their team's total.
- Do you work full-time? A large share of licensed agents sell only a handful of homes a year.
- Who will I actually deal with? On some teams, the agent you meet isn't the person who shows you homes or handles your negotiation.
- How did you arrive at this price? Ask to see the comparable sales behind it. An agent who prices high to win the listing costs you time and money later.
- How and when will you communicate? Agree on this up front. Most complaints about agents come down to silence, not strategy.
- What are your fees, and what's included? Get the full structure in writing before you sign anything.
What it costs to work with a REALTOR® in Alberta
Real estate commissions in Alberta are not fixed or regulated at a set rate. They're negotiated between you and the brokerage, and they vary by agent, property type and the services included. In a typical residential sale, commission is paid out of the seller's proceeds at closing and shared with the brokerage that brings the buyer, though the details should always be spelled out in your written agreement.
Before you sign a listing or buyer agreement, ask for the fee structure in writing, what marketing is included, and how long the agreement runs. Wally will walk through his fees and what they cover at your first meeting, with no pressure to sign on the spot.

What clients say
Wally said, "I'll get you $310,000. Just give me a chance." Two weeks later I sold for $291,000 — $42,000 more than I was going to list for.
Gary Malley, Malleys Seafood
I had a short window to sell. Wally came the next day with his photographer, and my home was listed the day after that. He found a buyer who needed the same possession date I did.

Frequently asked questions
What does a real estate agent in Edmonton do?
An Edmonton real estate agent helps you buy or sell property: pricing, marketing and showing homes for sellers, and searching, viewing, negotiating and managing conditions for buyers. Agents are licensed in Alberta and work under a brokerage, which for Wally is Maxwell Devonshire Realty.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Edmonton?
Commissions in Alberta are negotiable rather than set at a fixed rate, and vary by agent and property type. In a typical residential sale, the commission is paid from the seller's proceeds at closing and shared with the buyer's brokerage. Ask any agent for their fee structure in writing before signing.
How do I choose the right real estate agent?
Ask how many homes the agent personally sold last year, whether they work full-time, who you will actually deal with day to day, how they arrived at their suggested price, and how they will communicate with you. Get their fees and agreement length in writing.
Can the same agent help me buy and sell at the same time?
Yes. Coordinating a sale and a purchase is common, and matching possession dates is usually the hardest part. Wally handles both sides of that timing regularly.
Does Wally work with first-time home buyers?
Yes. Many of Wally's clients are buying their first home, and a large share of his business comes from referrals by past clients.
