When we bought our house, we used the services of Glen Weikle of Royal Lepage. He's a great guy, a really good agent, and I recommend him to anyone looking for property in the Calgary region.
When we started looking for houses, in September of last year, we came across Glen. We told him what we were looking for and he spent the next three months helping us to find this house. He then helped us find a mortgage broker and a lawyer and generally make the whole process easier for a couple who knew nothing of the subtleties of house buying in Calgary.
Yesterday, Glen gave me a call. He was in the neighborhood and wanted to drop by. I hadn't seen him since December of last year when we made the last offer on the house. Since then, we redecorated a whole lot so I was happy to show him the new look!
What I did not expect, however, was to get a Christmas gift! As if Glen and Jeanie knew me so well, they got us a really cool set of 4 BBQ tools and 4 skewers. The really manly stuff, too: huge pieces, wood handles, pretty heavy... I can't wait to try them out! (Which will be as soon as we buy some meat since we're living in balmy +10 degrees of late!)
That was the last thing I expected. A really nice thing indeed.
