Working with Janet was amazing, she knew the area, the competition and how to get me the home I needed. I think of her as my home coach more than a realator. But however you need her to be, just know she is the best. This was my 5 th realator experience and if I need a new home ever I know who I will call. Thank you!!

Monteith Houle Real Estate helped us buy our first home, they were extremely responsive and diligent. Thier experience and knowledge really shined throughout our whole process, I would recommend them to anyone.

I can't even begin to describe how happy my partner and I were with this real estate firm. As first time homebuyers, they were incredibly helpful through every step of the process and we always felt like a priority to them.
We had Janet as our real estate agent and she was absolutely wonderful! As a first time homebuyer, I had no idea what I needed to look for when touring these houses and she walked us through everything to be looking for, the positives and negatives of each of the houses we viewed, and info on the locations we were in. She worked tirelessly to find us our home and we could not be happier with it and our experiences with her.
I would highly recommend this real estate firm to anyone and we will definitely be using them again if we decide to move.
~Sabrina W

Highly recommend Michele Monteith! She is patient and diligent and made my first home buying experience amazing. She made sure to explain each step of the process and made sure I was comfortable as we progressed. She is extremely professional and is focused on making your home buying experience stress-free!
~Megan D

Michele and Janet represented us for the sale of our home in Mount Pleasant and the purchase of our new home in Rosedale. We were blown away by their level of service and professionalism on both transactions.
They are both super responsive and attentive to our every need. We felt like valued clients through the entire process and still do to this day.
On the sale of our home they did a detailed walk through and made great suggestions on how to get the full value from our home. We also thought they did a great job negotiating the price and getting us above market value. They are extremely well organized and provided us with detailed checklists for getting our house ‘inspection’ ready and ensuring we had all the right paperwork for a smooth closing.
For the purchase of our new home they negotiated three access times prior to possession so we could plan out our renovation. In addition, they sat in on 6 hours worth of meetings we had with trades. This level of service from realtors is unprecedented from our experience. After we finished our renovation, they signed up at Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel and West Elm for the realtor discount so we could get access to 20% off new furniture purchases.
I would not hesitate to recommend them! I am super picky and they exceeded our expectations on every level. Thanks so much Michele and Janet!
~Kristen and Peter

Janet and Michele are an amazing team. They've been our realtors both when we sold our house and when we recently purchased a new home. They are thorough, patient, communication is super quick and we never had a question they couldn't answer. Once you work with them you never look for another realtor. We highly recommend Michele and Janet to anybody selling or buying a property!
~V&A 

I just wanted to thank you and Janet for your patience and care and dealing with my mother through this challenging life event. I appreciate both of you taking extra time to explain things to her and to put in place as many things as you could on her behalf. I'm also very appreciative of your willingness to keep me in the loop and often have the same conversation twice, once with my mother and then again with me.

I'm very happy that my mother stumbled upon the two of you. I don't plan to sell or buy a house anytime soon but I will certainly keep your name in my back pocket should anyone I know be looking for a realtor.

Michele was extraordinary in helping us find our dream home! As first time home buyers we were filled with anxiety and uncertainty, but she went above and beyond to guide us through the process. Michele is the kindest soul, always willing to help and answer questions, and genuinely strives to make sure you find the perfect home! Because of her expertise and wisdom we purchased the first house we put an offer on, and are so thrilled!
Highly recommend Michele to anyone navigating the real estate market! You won't regret it!
~GL


Janet and Michelle are at the top of their game!
Their attention to detail and professionalism made a stressful situation into a pleasant experience.
They guided me through the process of selling my parents house with knowledge and skill.
They communicated openly and made sure that the best results were achieved.
I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone.
Well done ladies!!!
~AJ



Janet and Michele recently listed and sold my home.
They were both professional and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. They are down to earth and easy to talk to. They had good advice and were well versed in the current market conditions. Their Marketing Plan and Sale Brochure were fantastic! Both are skilled negotiators.  They made the whole process easy. I would highly recommend the Houle Monteith Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Thanks Janet and Michele!
~ Colleen H



Janet and Michele did an amazing job selling my home. They were extremely professional and responsive and navigated the whole process for me without a glitch. My home was listed and 3 offers were received within 4 days of the first open house. Even during the pandemic, they did a great job on the marketing, the pictures and navigating the whole showing and offer process. I had listed my home the year before and did not receive one offer. I attribute the success of my sale to Janet and Michele's expertise and attentiveness to even the smallest details. I would highly recommend them if you are looking at selling your home.
~Barb W


Recently we worked with Michele and Janet for the sale of our house.  The first time we met with them, we knew they were the ones we would go ahead with.  They were very thorough with their research of the market and bring together strong expertise and skills.  They were very caring and helpful especially during the trying times of COVID. Their biggest strength was understanding of people, which complimented the technical skills and allowed us to maximize the potential opportunities. We selected them from a selection of a few strong realtor referrals and would repeat our selection, without hesitation. It was a pleasure to work with them and would highly recommend them to anyone. They achieved timely and market price results  turning one of our biggest concerns into a success.
Thank you every so much Janet and Michele, we are so ever grateful for your expertise and friendly upfront approach!!
~Milind and Aditi



What an accomplishment! Michele and Janet made one of life’s significant milestones of selling a home, combined with the added uncertainty of the global/local markets at the beginning of a global pandemic a successful and telling tale of their dedication, adaptive nature and resolve. 2020 was full of unknows and uncharted territory. Every day seemed to change from the previous days and weeks and was extremely difficult to navigate thru the fog of uncertainty. However, with Michele and Janet’s expertise, preparation and energized assurance, together we were able to create a consistent and valuable roadmap to follow for the sale of the house all the while keeping our anxieties in check. Even being informed sellers, we still relied heavily on their opinion regarding market analysis, appropriate comparables, and relationships with other real estate professionals in the field. In the end, we were quite happy with the value and sale of the house, but the effort and passion of the dynamic due is what has stuck with me.
~Patrick and Cara


Navigating a home purchase during a pandemic while only having one weekend to find your home is not an easy task. But with Michele and Janet's help the process was an enjoyable one and much less stressful than we could have hoped.  Janet and Michele are a great team who managed to show us 16 homes in two days. They had our best interests in mind and helped with the negotiation allowing us to have an accepted offer before we left. As a team they were incredibly responsive with any queries that we had. And we had many :) The time they took to respond to our many emails and calls was always quick and positive. They looked after every last detail, booking the home inspection and providing referrals for other services we needed.  We would definitely recommend using Janet and Michele to anyone wanting a smooth enjoyable home buying experience. In our situation we were relocating from another city and we'd been told moving is one of the most stressful experiences one can go through. Because of the professional and personable care Monteith/Houle took with us before and after the purchase, our move felt very stress free. Thank you Michele and Janet; we've been in our house for four months now and couldn't be happier!
~Richard and Dana


We knew that the first-time home buying experience could be an overwhelming task so we were determined to find a realtor who could instill in us a sense of comfort and confidence as we navigated this daunting new process. Lucky for us, we found just that in Janet! We were put in contact with her through friends of ours who had recently upgraded to a beautiful new property with Janet’s assistance. They had nothing but praise for her and we are very happy to say that she lived up to that praise and then some. The patience and flexibility with which she accommodated our home viewing requests, made the process seamless and stress free. The diligence with which she tended to our inquiries and answered our emails left us feeling informed and confident every step of the way and her personalized approach to relationship building made the entire experience feel bespoke. Our first-time home buying experience was wonderful thanks to Janet and we whole heartedly recommend her and the Monteith Houle Real Estate Team for all your future real estate endeavours.
~J and S


We absolutely loved our experience with Janet and Michelle. They were so accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, and super professional. They did such a wonderful job both helping us find our perfect forever home, and selling our home at the time. They are amazing. 5 stars isn’t enough! We would recommend Janet and Michelle to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
~S and S


Michele and Janet helped us sell our home this fall. Selling a home during a pandemic is stressful and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and safe for the showings of our home. They were professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of both the listing and sale of our home. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a real estate team. Thank you again.
~Jennifer and Jordan


Another house bought and sold with Monteith Houle Real Estate Team! Janet and Michele are not only ultimate professionals, but are also a lovely and efficient team. They will support you through every single part of the process and are always there to answer any question, no matter how small, or show up ready and eager to help with staging your home. Should we ever consider selling again, they will be our only call!
~Amber and Matt


As Jackie and I are just about done settling in our new home, I just want to take a brief moment to give a shout out to Michele, our realtor, who was nothing but a joy to work with in purchasing our first house! As first time home buyers, we knew that stress would be part of the the experience, but Michele was able to minimize that stress, answering all our questions with promptness and professionalism. We are confident and thrilled to recommend her to our friends and family who are looking to sell or purchase their home. Thank you so much, Michele! Not only did we gain a realtor to handle our realty needs in the future, but we also gained a friend in the process! Friends and family, please reach out to this team for all your realty needs - you will not be disappointed! 
~Louie and Jackie


I sincerely recommend Monteith Houle Real Estate when you are looking for a competent and reliable real estate service.
While I dealt primarily with Janet, I was reassured in the knowledge that Michele was providing support in the background. Janet stays on top of everything; listens to your concerns, acts on them, is very helpful, and, above all, is an excellent communicator. They both went above and beyond to complete the sale to my satisfaction in this difficult Calgary Market. 
~GW


It was so wonderful to have Michele guide us through our new home purchase. She clearly explained all of the necessary processes and procedures, which we really appreciated as first-time home buyers.
Throughout the process we felt that both Michele and Janet were determined to find the perfect home for our family, for the right price, and in the community in which we wanted to live. They were extremely patient, caring, and genuine; prompt and professional in every communication. They were both friendly and easy to talk to. They made us feel very comfortable and answered any (and all!) questions we had. They were genuinely pleased for us when we found our home.We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property and have no doubt that everyone would have a positive experience working with them.

~Loriel and Michael

Amazing team! Knowledgable, friendly, professional, and I really felt that they were working in my best interest. I definitely recommend Michelle and Janet!

~ MacKenzie

We recently used Janet Houle and Michele Monteith from CIR to sell our Calgary house. They are an amazing realtor team that bring together a strong compliment of skills. It all starts with great care where they go well over and above the norm, with strong organization, professionalism and handling of every detail, such that they make the whole process seamless. They were both caring and sensitive with the whole family when the moments required it, knowledgeable and lots of fun as well as outstanding at negotiating. Their biggest strength was understanding of people, which complimented the technical skills and allowed us to maximize the potential opportunities. We selected them from a selection of a few strong realtor referrals and would repeat our selection, without hesitation. It was a pleasure to work with them and would highly recommend them to anyone. They achieve timely and market price results in a poor and softening real estate market, turning one of our biggest concerns into a success.

Thank you every so much Janet and Michele, we are so ever grateful for your expertise and friendly upfront approach!!
~ Sheldon and Trish Ibach


Huge thanks to Michelle and Janet. You made selling our home an amazing experience starting right from the first meeting. ~The Beatty Family


Michele and Janet were the most incredible team that either my boyfriend and I have ever worked with. Their guidance and resourcefulness coupled with a great sense of humour made us feel at ease through the process of buying our first home. We are extremely grateful for all of their help and would highly recommend because our time with them was so spectacular.
~Mic and Mac


Great experience for first time home buyers. Michele was knowledgable and helpful about every step along the way!
~Brad and Rachel

Michele and Janet were the most amazing team of realtors, ever! They were on top of every communication & transaction, as well as giving us great advice and support throughout the purchase of a property for a family member. There is no one we could more highly recommend than the Monteith Houle Real Estate Team!
~Charlotte B


We had the opportunity to work with Michele and Janet for selling our property and purchasing a new one. In both scenarios we found both Michele and Janet to be extremely professional, prompt in communication and most importantly mindful in conducting business. They made home buying an effortless task. They were able to provide recommendations of homes as they got to know their customers really well and listened to what they wanted. They also remained extremely patient when we were selling our house, which can be a hell of process in this tough housing market. They pretty much helped us sail through the entire process.

Another thing we shouldn't forget to mention is that Michele negotiated very effectively on our behalf. We was very impressed how calm she can remain and yet get the best possibly outcome. We would definitely recommend them to friends in the future. Thank you Michele and Janet !
~Jeff & Cathy



"Michele and Janet have been unbelievable to work with. They were both professionalism and caring and made the entire process seamless. Their in depth knowledge of today's market was key and put us on the right track for success. These two make an amazing (and fun) team, they were always just a phone call or text away to answer any of our questions. Thank you for everything Michele and Janet!"
~D and S Reily

"I bought my house with Michele and Janet, and they are both very knowledgeable and sincere women. They obviously love their jobs, and compliment each other well. I felt that they were determined to find me and my family the perfect home; for the right price, and in the community we wanted to live. I referred Michele and Janet to my mother, and right away, my mom felt comfortable with them.
This was a challenge because my mother lived in an adult only apartment condominium. A very limited market at the time. Michele and Janet worked hard to complete the sale, quickly and painlessly.
Both my mother and I would recommend Michele and Janet to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Thank you both for a happy home."
~Candy S. and Lynn K.



"We are very grateful to have had Michele and Janet represent us when selling our home.  They were amazing realtors to deal with, very professional and accommodating to our unique needs.   They brought a great deal of knowledge about our area and the market.  We would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a property and are convinced that everyone will have a positive experience working with them. Thank you again Michele & Janet!"
~V&A


"We can not express enough how thankful we are to have chosen Michele & Janet to be our realtors for both the purchase and selling phase of our move. Their professionalism, due diligence, gentle guidance and patience throughout our house search & putting our old home for sale, not only led us to our perfect new home but also to the sale of our old house in just 3 days. Michele and Janet went above and beyond their call of duty as realtors throughout this process with us and we highly recommended them to anyone thinking of buying or selling a house."
~Patricia & John 


Michele is a dream realtor. She was committed to finding me the perfect house even when it took months and months. Michele made the process so easy and fun. I was almost sad to have my offer go through because it meant that I wouldn't have anymore house viewing sessions with her! Until next time... 
I was so well taken care of. Michele was efficient, professional, and made sure that I understood all of the procedures and processes. I would highly recommend her team!
~Ivy F.



"Just want to give a big shout out to Janet and Michele for the wonderful experience we had with the sale of our home. Janet is a long time friend and so we felt very comfortable with her and had complete confidence in her ability to take care of us. We met Michele at our initial meet and greet and was immediately put at ease with big warm smile and wonderful personality. Janet and Michele make an amazing team, we were very impressed by their wealth of knowledge about all aspects of selling our home. They answered every question we had for them and were always available any time of the day or night. Our home sold within days of listing with them and everything was handled with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommended Janet and Michele if you are considering buying or selling, you will not be disappointed! Thanks ladies!"
~Irene and Drew


"Our move to Calgary took over a year.  As we were new to Calgary and the real-estate market was very different than our previous city, Janet was recommended to us through a friend.  We have sold and purchased 4 prior homes over the years in 4 different cities and our experience with Janet and Michele by far has been the best so far. They were extremely knowledgeable of the areas in the city we were interested in and turned out to be very patient as our timeline stretched out much longer than we planned.  We never felt pressure throughout.  They learned quickly what we were interested in and not interested in seeing.  They worked great together and were always available when we needed them and handled the transactions with extraordinary professionalism.  We would work with them again and would recommend them to our closest friends and family"
 ~Doug and Jody S  

 

"Having Michele as my realtor as I searched for a new home was a rewarding experience . She carefully & patiently listened to my new home priority list and in a timely manner took me to see several houses that filled my criteria. In the negotiation process her level of expertise was invaluable. Michele's assistance with all the documentation & companies to deal with that are required in a house purchase was very helpful - especially in my case as a first time home buyer. I truly appreciate everything she have done for me .
I would highly recommend her as a realtor."
~M.V



"Janet and Michele are experts and have the knowledge, skills and expertise we needed.  They were savvy when helping us purchase our new home, and very thoughtful and professional when helping us market and sell our old house. 
We were impressed with their processes, organization and commitment.  We were especially impressed by the marketing and awesome staging of our old house.  Their hard work enhanced it’s marketability which resulted in a quick sale.                
W
e would highly recommend Monteith Houle Real Estate."
~Alex M & Jackie D



"Michele was extremely helpful and patient assisting us with the purchase of our first home. She was very knowledgable about all areas in the city and gave us lots of good advice on what to look for as first time home buyers. She was always accommodating and worked around our busy schedules, making sure to not make us feel pressured or overwhelmed. We have recommended her to all of our friends and we look forward to working with her in the future." 
~Antony and Jenna



"Janet and Michele were an amazing team to work with when we were searching for our house. They were so friendly and easy to talk to. They made us feel very comfortable, answering any questions we had. They were very knowledgeable of the whole buying, selling process. They didn't "push" any properties, they listened to what we wanted, and were able to suggest properties similar to what we were looking for.  If we are even in the market again, we will definitely be calling Janet and Michele!"
Thanks again for everything!!
~Chris and Colleen B




"Michele Monteith, we could write quite a bit about our realtor Michele but we'll keep it simple and you will have no trouble in deciding to use her yourself.
We worked with Michele to find our dream home which we have been settling into for the last month and can't thank her enough. She's professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, reliable and on the otherhand she's honest, friendly, kind and genuine.
What more do you need from a realtor, I truly believe you're onto a winner if you call her as she'll work hard with you to ensure you get the right fit for your family/personal needs."
~Denise and Anthony. Very happy new home owners.


"We have an architectural and building practice and often deal with realtors in Calgary.We have not met realtors whose professionalism and care for their clients match Janet and Michele's. Our calls and emails were answered and addressed immediately as well as treated with an utter importance.They are responsive and know how to listen to their clients' requests. They made us feel as we were their only clients because of their outstanding dedication and words of encouragement. There is an aura of optimism and a very positive attitude characteristic for Janet and Michele. We sold our house in very difficult real estate times. It is also due to their perseverance and belief in quality of design provided.We wholeheartedly recommend Janet and Michele as your realtors for their many commendable qualities as exceptional professionals. We also hope to work with them in the future."
~Bozenna and Witek W

 
"Michele was very diligent and hard working. What impressed me most was her ability to quickly narrow potential selections to suit my needs. With Michele, you don’t get the feeling that you are being pushed into making a bad decision. Michele works with you to find a home that is right for you."

~Richard and Colleen L

 
"Janet was recommended to us by an Edmonton Realtor, her involvement with her clients is to get to know them and understand their needs. We found her availability, market knowledge and work-ethic second to none.  She was easy to stay in contact with and would return emails and phone calls promptly.  It was a pleasure working with her and we would highly recommend her to all potential buyers or sellers."
