It was our first time buying a house and Barry was great to work with. He took the time to explain everything about the process and all the ins and outs we needed to know as first-time home buyers. He is very knowledgeable and provides practical and honest advice. - Shelby
Reply: Thank you for taking the time to write a review Shelby. We always love such positive outcomes for first time home buyers and we are glad you love your new home and continue to make lots of new amazing memories together. Take care.
Barry fully explained his role and responsibilities. He was knowledgeable about every aspect of the sale. Firm and aggressive in negotiations. We were at ease, and confident that any deal was negotiated with our best interests in mind, not a quick sale. His knowledge of the Calgary market is second to none. We live in Ontario so all correspondence was done via emails, texts and phone calls. I was confident and comfortable at all times with any suggestions Barry made. Paperwork was provided on time and was followed up to ensure timely submissions, he made himself available 24/7. Couldn't ask for better representation and will absolutely refer and use him for any future real estate transactions. - John and Stephne Kolnik
Reply: Thanks for the lovely review John and Stephne. It was such a pleasure to work with you both. You both are the kindest people. We look forward to working with you in the future to help you with your next journey. Take care.

This isn’t our first time having Barry as our agent. He has been involved in both the selling and buying a home in the past. As well as a purchase with our Son and Daughter-in-law . Barry is very knowledgeable, willing to listen to our needs and roll with the constant changing circumstances. Barry went above and beyond to successfully sell and purchase a new home during these trying times. Thank you, Barry - Jane Brunton
Reply: Thanks so much, the two of you and your family have always been so great to me, appreciate it! I would have to say the best part is you're famous Janey line to me on a Friday night, word fr word "Sorry to interrupt my wine and fire but do you have any updates for me?"
Barry was awesome and made the process of buying our first home easy and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of great connects in the industry. He did a great job of walking us through each aspect of the buying process. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone looking into real-estate in Calgary. - Katie Tait
Reply: Thank you for allowing us to work for you, really was our pleasure. As first time buyers you were very trusting and willing to learn which I believe was the perfect equation to achieve the right house for you.
Wonderful realtor. Barry definitely knows his stuff! It was our first house purchase so we really valued his lead in the negotiations (of which he was totally spot on), plus he had an abundance of home reno ideas that we appreciated and are definitely going to integrate in our new home. Would recommend him to anyone else without a doubt!! - Kristen Adams
Reply: Thanks so much for the kind review, like many first tie buyers especially starting a new family you really invested in learning and asking questions while following our lead. I really love the house you purchased with the location that I believe will the perfect work / family/ life balance!
Barry was absolutely fantastic, could not recommend more highly! He was not at all pushy and as we were first time buyers he took lots of time to teach us the ins-and-outs of purchasing a home. Through the entire process we always felt that we were in extremely capable hands and that Barry was fully looking out for our long-term interests. - Aron Zahradka
Reply: Thank you so much for the greta recommendations and review. I really appreciate first time buyers with so much enthusiasm for learning and investing in a first family home!
Thank you Cynthia and Barry for your assistance and time in selling our house. We are truly grateful for your experience and help. We will be sure to see you when we are ready to buy again - Angie and Bill Hamm
Reply: Thanks so much for choosing us, we really enjoyed how you listened to our advise to prep the home then stayed on board to achieve the end result. Best of luck in the future and see you on the ball diamonds.
Barry and Cynthia were great to work with buying my first home. They had great advice on the pro’s and cons of each property we looked at and I did not feel rushed or pressured to buy anything. Buying a house is a huge investment and Barry and Cynthia are a great team who pull from their many resources to assist you in making an informed decision. They are approachable and highly responsive, which was great as I feel I had a million questions. They were very quick to answer any questions I had either by phone, email or a quick text message. I highly recommend this team of professionals. - Paul R.
Reply: Thank you for the fantastic review, really glad we passed our first zoom interview with you! Cynthia and I always enjoy dealing with first time buyers that we can help guide and can deal with our sense of humour, makes our jobs fun.
Thank you so much helping us with the sale. It really made things easier for us during these busy times. Also, having things go smoothly during these strange Covid times. - Dawn
Reply: Dawn we appreciate your kind words, you are truly the calmest person we met as we had to work through this years covid times and surprise hail storms, thank you.
During our first home buying process, having Barry as our realtor was a great asset. Barry took the time to explain in details everything through the process of purchase. He was always there to answer all of our questions over the phone, by email or even by a virtual meeting on Zoom. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. He is also very professional and never tried to rush us to make a decision. We would highly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a great realtor. - Michael Mahrous
Reply: Thank you for the review, we are pleased that you were able to search for us on line, interview through zoom and choose us, it was an honour. I really appreciated he in depth questions, sometimes clients are afraid to ask because they're not sure, you asked and allowed me to find the answer if I didn't know at the time. You and your wife were great to work with while learn more about the new city you choose as home.
We had a wonderful experience buying our first home with Barry’s help. He was very knowledgeable about the market and shared his experience with us in choosing a home; he helped us see the potential in each place we viewed, which led to us making some updates to the property before we moved in; we are so happy with the result. He was always available for our many questions as anxious first time buyers. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor! - Jennifer Pavez
Reply: Thank you, you were our first possession this year as a new family purchasing a first home in the covid times! Really enjoyed your patience and understanding and truly from the heart appreciate both you and your husband as front line workers! What a year.
Very informative and always very attentive to needs. He is very realistic as well. He helped us through a very tough time of selling in this Alberta Climate... this is impressive!! - Siva Rajadurai
Reply: Thank you for the great review Siva, it certainly was a tough sellers market but we can appreciate the challenge. Hope you are doing well. Stay in touch!
Barry went above and beyond to help us sell our home. He was always available whenever we had any questions or concerns. He helped calm us down when showings were not coming as quickly as we had hoped. He is extremely good at his job and I would highly recommend him to sell or buy your home. - Heather Davies
Reply: It was truly my pleasure Heather. I really appreciate the time you took to write a review for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. We are always happy to go above and beyond for great, kind people like yourself. Until we meet again, Wishing you all the best!
Barry went above and beyond to ensure we closed on our dream home. We could not have done it without him, especially since we were out of the country throughout negotiations. We would highly recommend to friends and family looking to buy or sell their next home. Thank you again! - Mackenzie Naylor
Reply: Thank you for the great review Mackenzie. I am so glad we were able to get you into your dream property and you were amazing through the whole process and it was such a pleasure working with you. I hope you are still loving your home as much now as when you first stepped foot inside.
Thanks for everything this was becoming a little stressful as showings dropped off completely after election. Price was lower than we wanted but was expected with current conditions. Thanks Barry for always keeping our spirits up. - Howard Davies
Reply: Thanks for choosing and trusting me to sell your property. It can be pretty frustrating when the market doesn't align with our expectations, but I really admire the way you stayed patient and open-minded throughout the process. Despite the challenges, your trust in the system paid off, and you had a positive outcome. That's definitely something worth appreciating! I enjoyed getting to know. Wishing you all the best in your future adventures.
I have know Barry for awhile now and have bought and sold a few places with him. He always gets the best price in a very timely manner. I look for his valued opinion and knowledge on all real estate matters. He is prompt and communication is excellent. Thanks again Barry - Derek MacKay
Reply: Derek - It isn't often we cross paths with truly great people but I felt a great friendship when we started working together. It is always a pleasure working with you and hope for the best in your future endeavors.
Amazing team to work with- very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. They made the transition buying in Alberta extremely easy. We would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or who is thinking of buying here. They were extremely honest and gave their personal opinion when asked. - Melanie Vankoughnett
Reply: Thank you for the kind review Melanie. Alberta is lucky to have you. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with you. Take care of yourselves.
I wanted to thank Barry for his patience on showing multiple homes until the right one was found. Renovation and tenant experience was helpful to the process as well. The core function of the website was very helpful in searching for a home, however, there are usability and interface things that could be improved on. Have already recommended Barry's services to others. - Mitchell Latimer
Reply: You are more than welcome Mitchell. That is my job and it all is so worth it when we do settle on the perfect home and our clients are happy. That's truly all that matters. We enjoy the challenge of getting there. Thank you for the great review and I would love to get your feedback on what we could improve on our website, I can always run things by our tech team. My email is barry@albertare.com if you ever have a minute for some feedback. Thank you again, it was a pleasure working with you. Wishing you all the best!
Barry was great. Picked me up for work too go to showings and was forthright and helpful. - Roger

Reply: Curtis, I am glad we were able to be a useful source of information for you and help guide you through the process of buying your home. Thank you for taking the time to write me a review, much appreciated. Hope all is well and you are still enjoying your amazing home!
Barry was fantastic from start to end, and then some. He was never pushy, and took into consideration what we wanted in a home. No matter how indecisive we were, he always kept us calm and level headed with his knowledge. In addition to his knowledge about the industry, he was always super personable and friendly. Despite the professional relationship, we now also consider him a friend. To anyone looking for an agent, don't look any further. Go with Barry & Cynthia. You won't regret it! - Heather Tran
Reply: You two are the best, never indecisive, it's hard as a first time buyer to understand real estate and options. Cynthia and I just educate and guide so you can make the proper decisions for you and your family. Yes the great part of teaching is we get to make friends along the way!
Barry brought such a refreshing feeling to the us as our realtor. He was super knowledgeable, not pushy, listened and responded well to everything we were looking for, and kept us within our price range. I would recommend Barry Klatt to anyone looking to buy or sell. - Luke Ceraldi
Reply: Thanks for the kind review, great thing about doing this for 20 years is I get to work with friends!

It means a lot to hear about your experience. Thank you! It was great getting to know you both and work together as a teal to find the perfect home for you. Best of wishes to you both!
Seamless. From first decision to buy to keys in hand, Barry led us through the process perfectly. Included in that is having great contacts from the mortgage broker to the lawyer, it really felt like we were their number one priority. I would highly recommend them to anyone. - Derek & Süz
Reply: We are happy that we were able to be a great source of information for you in your buying process. We have a great team of supports behind us and we are always elated when we can provide that to our clients to help make them feel taken care of. We appreciate your wonderful review and you taking the time to share your experience with us. Wishing you all the best!
Barry Klatt & Cynthia Culhane have a professional approach. They give honest feedback of your property and price it accordingly to the market place, I had many people approach me after the sale and said they were not surprised by the relative quick sale because it was priced right from the get go. I will use them again. - Joe Ricciardi
Reply: Thanks for entrusting us to sell your home Joe! It was an absolute pleasure. We all made a great team. We wish you the best in your future adventures.
Great to work with! We were pretty difficult clients when buying, but Barry & Cynthia were patient, knowledgeable, and supportive through the whole process, and jumped through all our hoops like we were their #1 client. - Amber
Reply: Wow, thanks so much for the nice compliment. It's funny, you and Regan always thought you were so difficult to deal with, but both Barry and I really appreciated getting to work with you and all of your lovely little's. Thanks again Amber!
My wife and I were looking to purchase a new home and were on the fence about whether to sell the current house or try and rent it. I had done a great deal of renovations to the structure and surrounding property, and we were working with Barry and Cynthia to evaluate the cost benefits of each option. On the purchase side, my wife and I (mostly me) had a pretty specific set of criteria for our new house and initially I wasn’t sure that a Realtor(s) would be able to meet those expectations. As much as it pains me to say “I was wrong”, it’s the truth. Barry and Cynthia provided options meeting our criteria on a weekly basis and we went to view a number of places prior to making a decision. My knowledge of the Construction Industry is pretty good so they provided insight on the location and lifestyle side of things. More on the side of “what it would be like to live in that particular house/neighborhood and what it would ultimately cost (aside from the mortgage).” Some of this stuff you just can’t find in a book and is pretty valuable information. Anyway, on the rental/investment side of things they are very knowledgeable as well. To say we were skeptical of turning our beautiful fully renovated home into an investment property would be an understatement. Barry and Cynthia worked through that with us and provided all the necessary information so we could make a very informed decision. I would certainly chaulk this up to a “value added service.” Their personalities and skillsets compliment eachother very nicely and they are able to work within timelines and meet expectations very effectively. All told, I think the most useful part of this review is that I had a great experience and would ultimately use this Team again on future purchases and/or sales. -Jeff S. - Jeff S
Reply: Thanks do much for the raving review, you’re the only one that can comepete with me in talking, haha
Barry Was an amazing realtor! He made everything easy and in a way I could understand. I could not be happier with my new place! I would suggest him to anyone! - Nicole
Reply: Thanks for the review, you were great to deal with, always excited, ready to learn and very positive about everything.
Barry was very helpful and knowledgeable. My boyfriend and myself work opposite shifts and he was very accommodating. He was very thorough and quick to reply to any questions we had. The whole transaction went smoothly and we felt Barry had our best interests in mind. We would highly recommend him as a real estate agent. - Jenny and Andy
Reply: Thanks for the positive review, I love when any of my friends ( Jason and Laura ) refer me to clients like yourselves. You and Andy were fun to deal with, makes my job fun, can’t wait to see the shop you set up in the second detached garage, tell your dad Roger says hi!
This is not my first time using Barry and it most definitely will not be my last! Not only is Barry the most knowledgeable realtor out there, he is also the best dressed! All jokes aside, Barry will ensure a professional, positive experience for his clients and you will leave the transaction with not only as a client, but as new friend. You will not meet two more capable and pleasant people to work with than Barry and Cynthia. Cheers to making our dreams come true - Ashley Reilly
Reply: Love your humor! It was truly a pleasure working with you as I look forward to when our paths cross again. We would gladly work with you again. Hope you are still enjoying and loving every inch of your dream home! Thank you for your kind words and great review. Take care.
