Client Reviews & Testimonials

She's awesome!

Jen Hawkins is the best. When we were selliing our house, we met a lot of realtors, and Jen was by far the most straightforward and honest realtor we met. She also helped us find some great folks for doing renos on our new place.

Jen and Christian were amazing to work with.

They went above and beyond to make the selling and buying process as smooth and stress free as possible. Jen was very available to any and all questions we had at any point and was always extremely professional to deal with.

It is quickly apparent that Jen and Christian know a lot about homes. Jen priced our home super accurately and we accepted an offer within a few days. She also helped us purchase our dream home.

Throughout the process, they gave us some great advice and even helped us update some plumbing in our new home before we moved in. We couldn’t be happier with our “Team Hawkins” experience. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor!

The service you provided was over and above expectations.

(Jen) will work with you to get the best deal based on price, timing, and your personal circumstances and needs.

Straightforward and honest. No pressure.

You were so amazing that I just keep coming back!

You go above and beyond for your clients! You took care of every detail. You were dedicated to making this whole process of buying and selling go as smoothly and pain free as possible. It was such a pleasure to work with you!

Highly recommend.  Great to work with.

(A) friend said you were great at your job, professional, straight talking, (and) competent.  We also liked that you have experience flipping homes so know more about what to look for.  (Jen was) very responsive, communicated well, and informative.  (She) answered all our questions throughout the process.

Words to describe your service:

  “trustworthy, available and accessible, client centred services,  care about the clients, great communication, excellent at working with people and stakeholders in the real estate transaction, get the job done”

Jen will always tell me her opinion, whether it benefits her or not.

She will even tell me her opinion if she knows I'll disagree or I won't like it. I feel that I can trust her with a large purchase like buying/selling.

She is my first recommendation. I always know I can send someone her way and she will be as honest with them as she is with me. I am always very happy with Jen's service! I'd recommend her to anyone.

What stood out most was how much Jen genuinely cared.

I had an incredible experience working with Jen and Team Hawkins. From the very beginning, Jen provided genuine personal care and truly took the time to understand my needs during a very emotional and challenging time.

She went above and beyond with communication, staging, quick turnaround on next steps, and helping coordinate maintenance to ensure the best possible sale price. She also never gave up on finding the right home for my little family and made me feel supported every step of the way.

Jen truly cares about her clients and it shows. I never felt like just a transaction. I am so grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Jen and Team Hawkins to anyone looking for a realtor who goes the extra mile.

I liked the low pressure approach.

Met you when you came to Mom’s garage sale during Midnapore’s Parade of Garage Sales. Though we weren’t ready to list at the time, it was going to happen eventually. We had been approached by other realtors but they didn’t feel right.

You really knew the market and priced the house right for a quick sale. You made us feel very comfortable about the entire process.

Your experience helped make it a smooth process.

Thank You!

Dear Debbie,

I can't thank you enough for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping me find our home in Calgary. I love our home, the neighbourhood, and the community!

As I started to look (from out-of-province), the e-mails you sent, along with kindness, and perseverance to help, were extremely helpful as I am going through my initial decision process. After we decided to move to Calgary, your years of experience in this market really came into play. Your knowledge of the neighborhoods, home construction, and attention to my other needs (inspectors, insurance providers, and mortgage companies....), was so valuable and helped guide us in making the right decisions. In fact, I have already recommended you to both friends and relatives who have mentioned purchasing or selling a home!

Thanks again and best regards,
Hossein

Don't consider anyone else. Choose Jen, you won't regret it!

Nothing fake, just real human to human interaction with no sales gimmicks. You were real, honest and your communication was always reliable.

Excellent realtor with good awareness of the market.

(Jen provided) good advice on price and preparation for a very quick sale with extra money added to listing based on work done on cosmetics. Great communication.

A Wealth Of Experience & Knowledge!

Debbie has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the real estate industry. The service she provided me was excellent. Debbie listened to my needs and wants, took time to show me what was available, was patient and answered many questions. Thanks to Debbie's perseverance I now live in a home that is a perfect fit.

Long history of repeat excellence.

Fun, professional, easy relationship. We talked a lot so you know what we wanted, and we trusted your advice. I felt like we were your only customer. You gave us complete attention.

You were great!

You communicate very well with others.  You work super hard and always reach out with new ideas that maybe we haven't thought of.  On top of what we were looking for, you provided us with homes that had something we liked as well as trying out new things we didn't think about! You were (dedicated) to finding the perfect home for us, looking into what we liked and didn't like and applying that to our next appointments.

The whole process was very smooth.

You made everything fast and convenient. There never was a delay in response times. (You were) always ready to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely recommend you.

I'd use Team Hawkins again, that speaks for itself!

Team Hawkins goes over and above what most realtors do. (They are) quick to respond, organized, reassuring and extremely helpful. Team Hawkins is trustworthy, hardworking and goes the extra mile!

Responsive. Reasonableness. Candor. Helpfulness.

You provided comps and set reasonable expectations. You have experience in our neighborhood and the area. The two of you meant someone was always available. (You have) expertise in real estate and renovations (and are willing) to help even outside of the real estate transaction. You listen to your clients and match them with what they are looking for. You advocate for your clients. You are very genuine and realistic.

Look No Further!

You were friendly and helpful, and very professional.  Lots of great insights into homes!

We couldn't have asked for more.

(Jen is) personable and listens. (She has) a great work ethic and is knowledgeable. She goes the extra mile.

You were amazing to work with.

You were very positive from the get go and prepared for our meeting with you. You were also very patient and kind to our mom.

You did what you set out to do. Made my sister and I feel very comfortable during the whole experience.

Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Debbie Rice as a realtor and would be comfortable referring her to family or close friends. Some of Debbie's professional attributes are dedication, organization, market expertise as well as negotiating skills.

I was extremely short of time due to a work-related move. Debbie dedicated large blocks of time helping me secure the right home. She 'went to the table' numerous times during the negotiation and definitely had my interests in the forefront. Even after the sale, Debbie continues to assist me with details related to my home. I will definitely be calling Debbie when it's time ot buy an investment property or sell.

I would recommend Jen 100%.

(Jen) went above and beyond what many realtors seem to do.  (She is)down to earth and gave lots of helpful info. (She is) conscientious and good at explaining things.

Your service is outstanding!!

You were honestly interested in meeting my wants, hopes and needs.  You even came with my two daughters and I to check out the new abode. You were the experienced extra set of eyes while we came to do the “look-see”.  I loved having you with us. I loved the new place and you again were with me  during every step of the way!!   Together we set the price of the sale and sold my condo. Together, times were arranged to come here to purchase my new home!  You were sitting beside me through the jargon of paperwork, making sure of wording and of what was being signed. Wow, I was grateful .

Team Hawkins provides the most wholesome family experience. One could not even wish for anything more positive.  They are an asset to the community.

Jen, you are a peacefully capable professional.

My previous experience with you as a realtor (this is my 3rd property shift with you!) made the decision to ask for your help on my recent purchase a no-brainer! You instill confidence, offer constructive guidance, and attend to every detail.

Your grounded advice and direction helped quell unnecessary worry; you also invited pause and further consideration where needed. Your experience served me in both the practical and emotional aspects of my fixer-upper home purchase.

Warm & Compassionate

We initially decided to meet Debbie because of her excellent reputation in The Harbours of McKenzie Lake.

From the beginning, we knew Debbie was listening to our needs going forward. She operates with warmth and compassion while never taking her eye off the ball.

Debbie made sure our house was ready to be viewed using outside professionals and her own expertise. She was helpful in introducing us to people in the trades not only for our previous house but our new one as well.

After the sale Debbie handled the paperwork with ease which we surely appreciated- this is not our forte.

We thought with COVID-19 we would be looking at a very long time before our house would sell. Debbie posted our house on other sites to get as much exposure as possible.

If you are looking to sell your house Brian and I would not hesitate in recommending Debbie Rice.

You had insight into builders and the quality of their work. 

Jen was very helpful when looking at a showing.  She noticed things that I wouldn't have thought of when buying my first place.

You made us feel like we had a friend working with us.

We really enjoyed working with you.  I was out of province and was not able to see the properties in person.  I had to totally rely on pictures and your opinion.  You were always available, you went out of your way to accommodate all of our requests.  You made us feel that we could trust you.  You didn't pressure us just to make a sale.

100% - I would recommend you.

I have already recommended you to some friends. 

I really appreciated your openness and just going with the flow.  You were patient but helpful.  I appreciated not having some houses pushed on me just for the sake of the commission.  

Thank you both so much for finding us a house we absolutely love!

You were absolutely on it! You checked in regularly and made us feel very comfortable. You are wonderful to work with and you listen to what people are looking for. You're very personable and professional and we enjoyed our time with you consistently.
