Joel and Jen are our go-to realtors as they understand the Calgary inner city market, and very importantly, relate it to their customer’s needs, desires and budget capabilities. They do an outstanding job of providing support in the finalizing of the sales and purchases by providing direction to professionals necessary to complete the deal. For over 20 years and many transactions they have been our rock for real estate transactions! Thanks Joel and Jen! - Dave Jepson

While living in France for a one-year term, we decided to initiate a custom home build in our hometown of Calgary. Joel's expertise, professionalism and dedication allowed us to proceed confidently despite being on a different continent for most of the lot-purchasing process. Joel carefully considered our intentions and ideas, ultimately finding us the absolute perfect location for our new home. During the entire process, Joel went above and beyond, proving to be incredibly insightful and comprehensive. He is an exceptionally strong advocate for his clients and we feel truly fortunate to have been guided through this process by someone as knowledgable, experienced and personable as Joel. We would absolutely and adamantly recommend him to others. - Tony Bizios

Joel and His team are absolutely awesome! I personally worked with Joel and his team on the purchase of my family home in Upper Mount Royal. He is courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and took care of all of our concerns. Rarely do you meet a realtor who is willing to go to this level of service for his clients. As a result of Joel and his teams unwavering commitment and integrity, I continue to work with him to buy other properties both as rentals and for development. Simply said, a stand up group of individuals who know how to take the bull by the horns and make things happen. Highest recommendations. - Dr. Mark Bajramovic, B.Comm, MBA, PhD

Joel was the selling realtor for a house we put an offer on. He did answer promptly a call for the open house on an inner city property which we went to see. However when we put an offer in for the house that he thought was too low he was beyond rude and condescending, past the point of belligerence to us and our realtor. In Joel’s own words he said “you should educate yourself and your buyers before submitting offers like this”. I would give zero stars for professionalism if this was an option. Anyways this helped us since in the end we got a much better house for the same price which fortunately was with a different listing realtor. Thanks Joel, glad you missed out on 30K+ commission on our deal! - Jon

Reply:    Hi Jon, I'm sorry to hear that this was your experience. We represented the seller, our clients, in this transaction and maximizing value for our listings is always our top priority. Our goal is to reach our client's needs to the best of our ability and sometimes the home buying process can be a learning curve on the other end- and vise versa at times. My entire real estate career is based on inner city properties so I know the values well. In the end, we did end up accepting an offer a week after yours was presented in the tune of $200k more. I apologize for you taking any offence, however the offer negotiating was only between myself and your agent. I heard you did end up finding a home in Briar Hill and I wish you and your family all the best.

We used Semmens & Associates when buying our first home. Joel and his team were always available (even last minute), friendly, honest, and offered helpful advice. We ended up with a home we absolutely love and at a great price! Thanks Joel! - JD

I've used both Joel Semmens and Jennifer Forbes for several property transactions. They've given me the best support and give me honest advice about what to sell for and how much to pay, depending on what I'm doing. Property deal can be emotional for people, and any advice and guidance they've given me has been in my best interests; not just to get the deal done. Every deal I've ever made with them, I've come out on top so the results speak for themselves. I've recommended them to several of my colleagues and friends and they've all been very happy as well. - Mike P

Joel and his team did an outstanding job negotiating multiple offers on my home. His approach to marketing with a sponsored social media advertising plan made all the difference. His office staff and photographer were amazing. They all seem to love working together and were pleasant every time I called or emailed. Jennifer Forbes worked with me to sell me my new home and she was professional, always on time and found me the perfect home. I would highly recommend them! - Valerie B

Joel Semmens is professional, caring, knowledgable and goes above and beyond to help his clients. We used Joel when we relocated to Calgary to be near family. He showed us several condos within our budget until we found the perfect unit that answered our needs. He looked after all the details while we were out of town. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service. I have recommended Joel to other people who also found him a pleasure to deal with. If you want top notch service and expertise, Joel is my choice. - Jan F

Joel Semmens, was an amazing realtor for my family. He helped guide us through one of the biggest decisions in our lives. The customer service was so superior compared to our experience with other realtors that multiple friends and family have used him and his team. He gives back to the community by donating time to create a local hockey rink. You can tell Joel cares about customer service and how his customers feel about their experience. I continue to refer him to other friends and colleagues. - JB

We used Joel and his team to sell our house and find a house in the inner city. We had specific needs which he took the time to understand and then only showed us properties that meet our requirements. He was always available and open for questions and feed back and helped walk us through the processes and buying and selling. I recommended him and his team to some other friends who also had an outstanding experience. - Tyler

I represented myself on a new home buy. Joel was the selling agent. He tried to get us to buy without a home inspection in an attempt to force a quick sale. What a guy. Avoid him and if he's the agent on the other side of the deal, do your due diligence. - Anonymous

For those people hesitating using a realtor, deciding to work with Joel was literally the best decision I made. He has extensive experience in the market and knew it so much better than I ever could have. He was also really great at giving me realistic advice about my property search that showed he had my best interests as the top priority. I've worked with realtors before and sometimes you feel like a sheep but Joel and the team supporting him really make you feel like you're the most important client they have. I bought and sold my house with him and trusted him to help my parents sell their rental condo that was going to fund their retirement. They got a great price and he went above and beyond helping them with logistics like moving and selling furniture given they were out of province. All in all, if you want a top notch realtor in Calgary look no further than Joel. - Veronica
