Kim & Tim Goodwin
We met Justin during an open house he was hosting in Royal Oak. My husband and I were both immediately impressed with his level of professionalism and his polished and relaxed style. He was very helpful in that he explained the background on the home, pointed out some of its features, and allowed us to explore on our own. Before we left he asked us to sign a guest book, which I particularly thought was a nice touch. Shortly after meeting Justin we asked him to come and do a property evaluation on our home as we were considering selling if we could get the right price for it. Justin prepared a top notch, professional and impressive report on our home and gave us the confidence that he really understood our community and the resale potential of our home. We listed our home with Justin and we were really impressed with his customer service. He actually called us back when we had showings and gave us the feedback in a very timely fashion. In fact, that is what sets Justin apart from any realtor we have worked with - he keeps his word and does what he says he will do. His listing service is top notch, which included great pictures of our home and additional marketing on his personal websites. We are happy to say our home sold for 99% of the list price in 20 days in a relatively slow market in Calgary. On the purchase side, Justin helped us find a new home in a matter of one week. He was available to show us houses, and didn't object at all when some evenings we looked 10 at a time. He was informative, offered good insight into various properties, and didn't pressure us to buy. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone who needs professional real estate advice - he is simply wonderful to work with.
Maureen & Larry White

Zoe & Derek King
Just thought we would let you know that our move went well.. Thank you so much for making this a good experience for us. Moving from rented to purchasing our first Canadian house was bound to have its trials and tribulations as we are relatively new to this country. Also moving just before Christmas was certainly an interesting experience. With your help and guidance we made it. Many many thanks for your patience in putting up with us. You were always very helpful and very professional during our search for a new home.The experience was very positive and very successful due to yourself
Jeff & Heather Calkins
This is a brief note to thank you for the very prompt, professional and personal service provided to us in selling our Royal Oak property. Our ability to communicate with you regarding any and all concerns along with you attention to detail gave us great piece of mind during the entire process. I will not hesitate to refer anyone we come across who is in need of your services in future! Once again thank you for everything.

The purpose of this letter is commending Justin Havre for the exceptional service he provided to us when we recently purchased a property in Calgary. We received Justin's name and contact information from another satisfied person. Almost, immediately, after contacting Justin with the property criteria we wished to pursue, he sent several options. They were all good possibilities and we were able to quickly short list. We asked him if he could be ready for us to visit Calgary a few days later and he very graciously made time for us on short notice for a weekend. Justin made all the appointments necessary to see the properties that were available and we did so. We choose one and he immediately, that day, presented our offer and followed up promptly, even on Sunday, until we and the vendor were happy. He followed the transaction through professionally until completion. He accompanied our daughter, the purchaser, to the unit on several occasions and made himself available for all her questions, etc. as a first time buyer. We would definitely call Justin again with real estate needs and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. He always presented himself professionally, both in his actions and his relationship with us.
Lesley & Tyler
Again, we just wanted to let you know how impressed we were from day 1 with your professionalism. And, having sold our house in less than 2 days, for more than the list price, well that just goes to show how well you excel at your job!!! It has been a pleasure working with you, and when the need comes up again, we will definitely be in touch!
Sheena & Steve
As first time home buyers, Justin played a major part in making our experience positive. He was always quick to respond to our questions anytime of the day and educated us very well, not hesitating to give advice where we needed it. He is great to work with, gaining our full confidence right from the start and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Carolyn & Bob Hamilton
Thanks for your Knowledge and professionalism in showing us many homes. We really appreciated it and wish you the very best in your career. Thanks again for the lovely basket and treats.
Les Gilbert
I selected Justin after interviewing three realtors. I found him prepared, professional and well versed as to local conditions. My journey with him was brief, however, as the house sold on first showing. The whole deal was wrapped up just as efficiently as it commenced. Thanks for getting the job done Justin.
Tony & Yolanda H.
Hi Justin, Just want to thank you again for everything you’ve done. The whole buying process went smoothly and painless. As a first time buyer, there were so many things we didn’t know, however, we met you, the person who knows EVERYTHING! We actually started our house shopping online and your website was my wife’s favorite. We found the design of the website is very user friendly and thoughtful. Probably the only website I liked in real estate area, in Alberta at least. Guess what, we found our home there! It was the first house/condo we looked, and we liked it very much. In addition, we were very comfortable with you and your professional service. You answered all the questions we had and offered much more. As a result, we made our decision quickly. Once the bank gave us the pre approval, we made an offer. The process of negotiation was painless as well and we were surprised that you can work remotely and still very efficient, I meant VERY EFFICIENT! Luckily, with your help, we think we got a great deal. Thank you again. The lawyer and the condo document reviewing company you recommended to us are very nice and efficient as well. I had great experience with them too. As promised, we received the house key on the due day and everything worked out perfect! During the whole thing, I personally think you are a good friend with great knowledge about real estate rather than a broker or agent. I still think this way. We would recommend you as the NO.1 people to other friend whenever they want to purchase a new home. It was a great experience and we are very happy with our new home, we will keep in touch and thank you again!
Lisa & Dan P.
Moving from Houston to Calgary was made easy with CIR, especially with the help of our Realtor, Justin Havre. Our family needed to explore the city and find a community that meet our family needs. Justin was very helpful and very professional in our search for a new home and this community. The experience was very positive and very successful due to Mr. Havre.
Kim & Jeff Fahlman
We would personally like to thank Justin Havre of CIR Realty for providing us a level of excellent service. He is a perfect example of what a successful realtor should be doing for each and every client. We will continue to recommend Justin to our friends. He is easily accessible by Blackberry and is promptly on time with meetings, returning phone calls, or sending out text messages. His custom based web site provided another great level of unprecedented service, keeping us up-to-date with listings, and having alerts sent right to our inbox. Justin’s custom web-service search let us know what activity was happening around the area. Monthly CREB reports gave us the facts, instead of relying on a daily newspaper article for activity reports. We have used Justin as our realtor more than once and for good reason. He has always helped us negotiate the best possible deals and we remained in good confidence from hearing his advice. Thank you for all your hard work and services!
Sara & Brett Mulder
Justin Havre is a blessing to the Calgary Real Estate industry. He helped my family both sell our home and purchase a new one. He was able to get us the home we had always wanted for a great price. He never wasted our time on properties that didn’t match what we were looking for. Always taking the time to listen to what we needed and what our concerns were. When it came time to sell he made the process for us effortless. He presented our home beautifully and did a wonderful job with advertising and keeping a steady flow of traffic through the home. Justin remained available to us at all times and was always ready to assist in any way possible. He gave insightful suggestions and kept us positive through the whole process. Justin sold our home quickly and completed the sale process wonderfully. I have recommended Justin to all my family and friends who are looking to buy or sell a home and I am confident that he will treat them in the best way as he did our family. He is a great person with great values who truly understands the importance of a home!
Angie & Greg Jacobson
Justin’s use of technology and Internet marketing made both buying and selling an efficient process. Justin sold our house in one day allowing us to clear conditions on our purchase within 5 days of our offer being accepted, and for more money than similar properties in the area! Justin fully understands what is required to make deals happen, and how to price your home / make offers that will be successful in any market. I have previously sold houses by owner and can say that Justin managed to get more money for our property than I could have, without the headaches. Angie and I would like to thank you for all your hard work, we love our new home!
Linda Wyse
I have just purchased my 6th property in the community of Wentworth in SW Calgary. I was viewing some listings on mls and I saw Justin Havre's advertisement. I called him and asked him if we could meet. I was immediately impressed with his professionalism and his vast amount of knowledge in the real-estate industry as well as his knowledge in the communities that I wanted to sell and purchase a property in. I must say that in the 15yrs that I have been purchasing and selling homes Justin was by far the best, most competent, professional, realtor that I have ever done business with!! I would highly recommend him to everyone. He will go that extra mile for you and I truly want to emphasize this point. There were a few situations that came up in my transactions that he did just that, went that extra mile and basically saved the day. This is definitely a rare quality in business these days. Thanks Justin, I will be contacting you again for my next real-estate adventure.
Christian & Eugenio
My Husband and I are very happy with our new condo, we call it our little palace in the sky. After seeing many properties and not being able to find a place we could call home, Justin urged us to see what he thought would be it for us and he was right. Throughout our engagement with Justin, he continually presented as friendly, professional and ever so patient with us and our quest for paradise living. We were so impressed that we referred him to a close friend in need of selling his place urgently, Justin did just that, he sold his place within 4 days of being on the market! Thanks Justin, you're the best!
Dwight and Tanya Ross
To Whom It May Concern, If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in Calgary, I would highly recommend hiring Justin Havre to do the job. My wife Tanya and I met Justin last year when we went to see one of his listings in northwest Calgary. We found his soft spoken, easy going and no-pressure approach very refreshing. We explained that we had been thinking about listing our current home and were looking for something newer and bigger, but we had already chosen a realtor to work with. Justin went on to tell us about the service he offers to his clients. We were most impressed by his online presence and how he has embraced and leveraged the technological capabilities of today’s competitive housing market. Being in careers that rely heavily on technology, we were previously frustrated with realtor websites and the lack of adoption of technology by realtors in general. Later after taking a tour of Justin’s websites, we realized he wasn’t kidding when it came to using the internet to promote his client’s homes, and it became an easy decision to ask Justin to represent us in our sale. Although our 1962 bungalow had had a complete ‘top-to-bottom’ renovation with all high end finishings, we knew our house was going to be a tough sell because we would be setting a new high ‘dollar-per-square-foot’ for our area and landing on the right price was not going to be easy. Justin worked very closely with us to help determine the right selling price for the house. He then tailored a marketing plan for us that suited our property perfectly. Firstly, he hired the local franchisee for ‘Open2view.com’, Dustin Mifflin, to takes photos. Without question, Dustin’s pictures were of magazine quality and we were extremely impressed. Justin then used these amazing photos to create a beautiful 12 page color glossy brochure for our home. Within a few days, our house was posted on the MLS website and also 4 additional high quality websites including www.JustinHavre.com, www.JustListedCalgary.ca, www.CalgaryRealEstateBroker.com and www.Open2View.com In the following weeks, we found Justin to be very professional in day-to-day dealings. We also quickly got the feeling he was looking out for OUR best interests during the selling process. He was very diligent in keeping us informed of feedback from showings, website ‘hits’ for our house and of general market activity. Prior to working with Justin, this had been something that we found lacking in other realtors. Justin was on top of things and he instilled a confidence in us that we had never before experienced in selling a home. When we got word that we had an offer coming in, Justin immediately went to work for us and contacted two other potential buyers that had previously expressed interest. One of these parties came for another look the same day; and we ended up getting competing offers in what we thought was a quiet market. The final result was we got the sale, and thanks to Justin’s persistence, we got $20,000 over list price! We are convinced that Justin’s marketing package combined with the wide internet exposure is what generated many showings and was ultimately what sold our home – we were very, very pleased. Needless to say, using Justin for the purchase of our new home was a no-brainer. He set up detailed searches with our ‘must haves’ and ‘nice to haves’ and we were immediately ‘tapped’ into the market getting only the new listings that fit our criteria. With his guidance, we were not only successful in finding exactly what we were looking for, but incredibly, we got our house for a whopping 22% under its original list price. We were ecstatic! We have bought and sold many homes over the years and we have finally found a realtor we would recommend to our friends. He helped us in achieving ALL our goals in selling and finding a home, and we absolutely love our new house! Thanks Justin and keep up the good work!!
C. L. Smith
Justin, I can’t describe how thrilled I am with my new house. It is the perfect size in the perfect location, and is absolutely everything I had hoped to find when I first contacted you about being my real estate agent. As a first-time homebuyer in a very competitive price bracket, I hit more than a couple snags along the way. I would not be the proud owner of this house if it wasn’t for your knowledge of the real estate industry, your endless patience, and your dedication to helping me find what I told you I wanted (even after I had started to give up). Thank you a thousand times over for being not only a great realtor, but also a teacher, a therapist, and a friend. Stop by any time!
Roger Drury and Karen Deby
We would like to say what a pleasure it was to work with Justin on the sale of our home in Valley Ridge. From the first time we met him we were impressed with Justin’s sincerity and professionalism. He is truly an expert on the current status of the Calgary real estate market and has a tremendous marketing approach. Our home was listed and sold within 10 days, at a price we were very happy with. If we ever need a realtor again, Justin Havre is our man and we strongly recommend him to anyone planning to sell a home in Calgary.
Patrick Carriere
Upon relocating to Calgary AB, I enlisted the support of Mr. Justin Havre, CIR Realtor. Justin was very helpful throughout the entire process, demonstrating a high level of professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge. I was impressed with Justin's patience and overall dedication to quality and service. From the first day on, towards closing the deal, the experience was a very positive one. I am definitely recommending your services to my family and friends. Thank you very much!
Jonathan Sargent
Justin Havre came highly recommended to me by some close friends. They knew I needed a realtor who was honest, professional, prompt and who knew the market into which I was selling. Justin fitted that profile perfectly. For my home appraisal, Justin came prepared with all the information I needed to feel confident about getting the correct market value for my home. A professional sales brochure of my home, along with an inviting description and excellent photography was prepared within days. This was used in conjunction with website promotion, an online virtual tour plus an open house. Within 2 weeks my house was sold. Once a sales price was agreed, the paperwork was completed on the spot. Not many realtors have a tablet laptop whereby you can close a deal without faxing back and fourth, this in my opinion is a smart move and a step up from other realtors I have worked with. My philosophy is this: When you are buying or selling a home, you need to feel like you are the most important person in the equation, not just another 'customer'. I believe in choosing Justin, you will feel this way too.
Linda Wyse
I have just made another successful sale and purchase!!!. I have used Justin Havre as my realtor for about the last 6 yrs and to use just one word to describe his talents in the real estate world well, it would be Tremendous!!!! I have been in the real estate game for 20 yrs now and have dealt with many, many realtors and Justin Havre is by far the best I have dealt with. Trust me if you are looking for an honest, respectful, compassionate ultimate professional Justin Havre is your man!! Even when your positive the deal is not going to come together because the facts make it almost impossible to do so, some how Justin makes it happen!! He goes way beyond his duties most times even without being asked. If your looking for the best realtor there is call Justin I guarantee he will give you 120% I promise that!
Claire & Tom Huffaker
In late 2008 and early 2009, we had the pleasure of working on a house search and purchase with Justin Havre. We were hugely impressed with his professionalism throughout our dealings with him. His knowledge of the market is vast and his attention to our personal needs was exemplary. Justin was also VERY patient with us as we took more than a little time to make a decision. Even after months of spending his time working with us, he did not hesitate to counsel against a house when he thought it was not the right one for whatever reason. Fortunately, we took Justin’s advice and avoided more than one possible mistake. In addition to being a real expert in his field, Justin is extremely pleasant company, no small thing in someone you may spend weeks or months with looking at houses. Should we ever buy another house in the Calgary area we are certain to use Justin as our realtor again. We will recommend him to our friends and colleagues with great enthusiasm. He is simply a total pro!
Cindi Kushnir
Justin is a top notch realtor, and I'd recommend him to anyone. I was extremely impressed by the level of customer service that Justin provided, he is very busy, but yet, he made me feel like I was his only client. Phone calls and e-mails were promtly replied to, and he always followed up to see if I had any questions and to make sure I was happy. I know from experience as well as speaking with our piers that Justin's reputation is flawless - it was his professionalism and his character that closed my deal, if it wasn't for him, I'd probably would have lost out to one of the other 2 families wanting to write, but the seller gave Justin priority. I would happily work with Justin again, there's a reason why he is successful, he has a lot of happy clients!
Melanie Langford & Jesse Moffatt
Justin did an excellent job of marketing our home with professional photographs, beautiful brochures, and advertising. We had numerous daily showings as a result. Justin was always easy to get in touch with and responded to our questions quickly for both the sale and purchase of the new home. We have worked with him for 3 transactions now and would do so again!
Ryan Neufield
Just thought I would let you know that my move went well.. Thank you so much for making this a good experience for me, and I will totally recommend you to anyone I hear of that is looking to buy or sell.
Dr. Faith-Michael Uzoka
I write on behalf of myself and my wife, Helen Uzoka , to appreciate your efforts towards the sale of our previous house located at 16 Royal Birch Crescent, NW, Calgary. We are particularly impressed by the level of professionalism you exhibited in the whole process. This ranges from the kind of photo shoots of the house to the level of exposure you provided through the use of information and communications technology. The feature sheet produced for the property was of a very high quality. All of these generated a lot of showings for the house, which was quite impressive. The way you handled the actual sale of the property was exceptional, especially in dealing with financing and inspection conditions. I would gladly recommend you to any person for any real estate transaction, and we would be very please to request your services for future transactions.
Tracy Hudson & Jeffrey Bates
The service and personal attention we received from Justin Havre was exceptional and unexpected from a Realtor! Justin and his team are truly exceptional at what they do. Their knowledge of the local market and their contacts made the sale of our home easy and painless. After Justin provided us with the most recent detailed listings and sales in our neighborhood he made sure we got the best offer for our home. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Justin Havre to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process.
Rhonda & Anita
Justin, thank you so much for all your patience and generosity. You listened to our needs, you showed us the houses we asked to view and you went above and beyond. Justin pointed out things that could come up in the future in the houses we looked at. He helped steer us in the right place for a mortgage. We would recommend Justin to our friends and family, and we will for sure be dealing with him again in the future. Thank you again.
Brent & Bev Scott
Justin is an experienced, knowledgeable, and no nonsense realtor. His marketing skills, creativity and work ethic resulted in the sale of our house within three weeks…absolutely fantastic, given the very difficult 2009 real estate market! We appreciated the photos of our house which were professionally done and the wonderful website that showcased our home. The professionally produced booklets that were at the door as well as in the outside information box definitely helped potential buyers to view all the features of our home. Based on our experience and the results of the sale, we highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a real estate agent!!!
Gerry and Heather Thomas
Hello Justin, Gerry and I wanted to say a big thank you to you for all your work on the purchase of our new home and selling our other home. We were very impressed with all our dealings with you. It didn't matter where you were, you always communicated with us in a timely manner and always kept us informed. We have nothing but positive things to say about you and the other members of your CIR team, your professionalism is outstanding and appreciated. We absolutely love our new home and look forward to many years in it. Thank you and all the best to you, Gerry and Heather Thomas
L. & N. Brookwell
This letter is in recognition of Justin Havre of CIR Realty who was our Real Estate Agent for our Duplex properties in Airdrie. We found Justin to be the most efficient and professional Real Estate Agent we could have asked for. We feel Justin went way beyond his duties as an agent to look after our places while we were in and out of the country. It gave us a great feeling of security to know that every detail of every offer was taken care of in a professional manner. We would highly recommend Justin Havre to handle anyone's Real Estate needs. Thanks Justin!
Julie & Lan
Lan and I would like to thank you for the great service you had provided us with regards to the sale of the Chestermere property. It was such a long and painful process but you were always there for us. You kept us in the know throughout the process by daily updates through phone or emails. You even went out of your way to make sure our rights were protected and that we had never seen or even expected from a Realtor. Justin, we like to thank you from bottom of our hearts and for sure will recommend you to our friends and relatives.
Tanya & Neven
Now that we are finally settled in our new home, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. You are both very professional and a hard worker. You clearly take pride in doing a good job. In our particular case as a buyer of a home, there were many rough spots on the road to closing and in every instance you were a great help. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than you or being anything but happy in choosing to work with you
