Licensed Realtor since 2002.
From a very young age, I had determined that I wanted to be in the eco-tourism / adventure business. I would take small groups of people into communities in interesting parts of the world. I would assist in creating ‘memories for a lifetime’.
My wife and I started an outdoor adventure / eco tourism business in 1993. We led small groups of people on sea kayaking, biking and walking tours in Eastern Canada and Mexico. My plan was to offer adventures all over the world.
Family, children, and children with learning disabilities make us re-evaluate our lives. My oldest child was not able to read or do math in grade two. I struggled with the resources available to our family. While business was fine, I worried about my kids success in our Island school system.
Kids with learning disabilities suffer, especially in the early 2000’s. I researched. I learned kids who learn different and do not get the resources they need, suffer later in life. They are at a disadvantage and studies show many will have alcohol and drug addictions. Even worst, imprisonment and even suicide.
This kept me up at nights.
I started a Parents group called “PEI parents for kids with Learning Disabilities”. I spent a year or two giving my time, and advocating for kids and parents to get resources for their families.
Meanwhile, my business suffered.
So did my relationship with my wife, and oldest child with the learning disability. Being husband, Dad, teacher, and principal income earner was not working.
In the fall of 2002 CBC Radio hosted a program on Schools in Eastern Canada, and living in Eastern Canada. I kept hearing the best decision to a better education for your children was to move to Alberta. Move to Albeta for better schools, and the Alberta Advantage.
I moved to Alberta for a better life for my family. I came for the schools, the economy, and the opportunities to explore. Creating a life in Real Estate was a natural choice. Real Estate isn’t about a house. It’s about helping (even guiding) people in making choices that move them forward. That’s what a great agent does. We’re equal parts salesperson and therapist.
I began selling and investing in real estate in Calgary before, and during the 2006 and 2007 boom. The Alberta bust happened at the end of 2008 and by 2009 we were all either laughing or crying at ourselves. That bumper sticker that last appeared in the 1980’s appeared again. “Please God, give us another oil boom, we promise not to piss it away this time.” (
Bee had another boom in 2013 and 2014, which busted in 2015 … and the bumper sticker appeared again!)
It is during the rough times in Alberta that I learned a system to sell real estate at a high level. I had no choice. Like many Albetans, I had overextended myself. I lived too high on our boom cycles, and like many Albertan families, my family paid for this in the bust cycles.
Before our next boom in 2013, I learned the importance of a real estate team. After going it alone for 10 years, I came to realize the most effective way to do “it all” was with a team. My team helps make the process and journey for our clients seamless and brings them full circle.
In the meantime, my children thrived in school and their chosen extracurricular activities. Our oldest, graduated from University of Victoria - thriving within her community. The youngest excelled at cycling. Their schools were Altadore, Calgary Science, Calgary Academy & The National Sports Academy.
And that’s why helping Calgary families is personal for me.
Bryon was a great realtor in the sale of my first home in Walden. It was a fairly new build with lots of availability in the neighbourhood, and he was successfully in getting above asking price. He was always quick to respond and cordial through the entire transaction - Adam Perry

It was a fantastic experience working with Bryon and his team (specifically - team lead Ben)! I’m a first time home buyer and was worried about many things , but Ben made process very smooth and fun! Ben was extremely specific about all the details and was willing to go extra mile so we feel comfortable. I would definitely work with Bryon, Ben and the team when we will decide to upgrade! If you want a stress free experience - this is the right team to work with. - Igor

We called Bryon to gather information regarding a potential sale of our home. However, after hearing Bryon portray the activity in our neighborhood, we decided to sign an agreement for Bryon to sell our home. He was confident, knowledgable, gave us a reduced realtors commission, and put everything in place regarding pictures and staging, which was awesome. Our home sold in 12 hours......we were happy campers. - Margaret Posnett
Reply: It was a pleasure working with you ... and assisting in making you "Happy Campers". :-). Thank you for your trust. Bryon

It was my first time selling a property. Bryon helped me through the process. He sold the condo for more than I expected. He also did a fantastic marketing job with the photography and video and posting. I noticed, after my sale, several other condo owners used Bryon to sell their condos. - Larry Adorjan

Thank you much for your trust in the sale of your beautiful Cranston property. Bryon

Reply: Great to work with you Charles. You were patient ... and acted in perfect timing to catch a great price. Congratulations and Thank you for your trust in selling this valuable asset! Bryon
After reaching out to a number of Realtors and being generally unimpressed with their knowledge and management of expectations in Calgary's condo market, I was thrilled to have an honest, informed, and immediately strategic chat with Bryon. His team moved quickly and decisively to list my place, and kept in constant consult/communication despite the fact I was out of province. And within days of listing I accepted a counteroffer that exceeded my (realistic) expectations. He also helped me understand and navigate subsequent steps beyond the role of a realtor. Nothing but praise from me for Bryon and team. - Dustin Thul
Reply: Such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for your kind words. Bryon
A pleasant experience. Shirley lined up a bunch of properties to look at and we fell in love with the second one we saw. Thank you very much, you helped make this a pleasant experience. - Sam Patterson
Reply: Shirley has a great eye for finding the right property for the right buyer! I LOVE her too. (I feel soo lucky I convinced her to marry me 29 years ago!). :-) Bryon
Showing a house when you have dogs can be tricky, but Shirley accommodated our needs and made a quick sale. Selling and moving is potentially very stressful and Shirley manages to take a lot of tension out of the process. - SFehr
Reply: Shirley is fantastic at managing the tension out of the selling process … and a whole lot more! Haha (She is my wife … and I thank my lucky stars every day!!!). Thank you for your trust in selling your home Shauna. Best with the next chapter! Bryon
Brian and his team was great to work. They kept me up to date on showings - had great use of social media - went through offers with me - and close went smoothly. - Shauna Head
Reply: It was a pleasure to work with you Shauna. Thank you for your trust in selling your investment condo. Bryon

Bryon and his team at Bryon Howard Realty were a pleasure to work with. Bryon was very knowledgeable of the area and current market conditions, and he was quite familiar with the building in which my unit was located. He was able to sell my unit within a month in a fairly tough condo market. Bryon's team was able to gather the majority of the required condo documents and paperwork without me personally having to spend an excessive amount of time doing the grunt work myself. - Hillar Lilles
Reply: Thank you for your kind review Hillar. It was a pleasure to work with you.
