Customer Review

I have taken great pride in my reputation as a realtor with “hustle”, someone with “street sense” who intimately knows the market, the product, and also genuinely cares about my clients. Someone who is thoroughly professional and gets the job done, but yet, is not in this business solely for financial gain. I value my relationships with clients.

Cheri Bates

"I initially tried to sell my home as a “for sale by owner”, without success. I then to turned Bev Cuckow who had help me buy my home. Bev set up over two dozen showings before we received multiple offers. It was during this process that he helped broker the best price and conditions for us. In the next week when the deal appeared to be going sour he showed his skills by negotiating in my best interests and finalized the sale. During the whole process his high level of service, experience and expertise were very apparent. I would strongly recommend Bev Cuckow as a realtor!”

Ann and Phil Mocan

Testimonials

Our family is unanimous in praise for Bev`s professional handling of the listing.

We appreciated the detailed explanation of his evaluation of the condo and final recommendations for a listing price. His knowledge of Hawkwood real estate resulted in an evaluation which reflected true market value for this premium unit.

The interest in, and the quick sale of, this unit is a good indication it was marketed to the appropriate target audience. The handling of the offers and the eventual sale was efficient and again very professional.

The combination of Bev`s obvious skill and his friendly support staff makes it easy to recommend Bev`s real estate services to friends and neighbours.

Many, many thanks to all.

Darcy Undseth


As first-time buyers, we weren`t sure what we were getting into, but Bev answered all our questions and made sure we understood all the details of the buying process. Within a few days, we were able to view several homes, put down an offer on the one we liked, and have that offer accepted. Bev and his team handled all the details, and we just enjoyed the fact that we had a new home. It was great.

Jonathan and Mandi Draper


I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into selling our home. Not only did you provide us with a detailed analysis of the current market. You clearly explained how you would help us sell our home for the maximum price in the shortest time possible.

We had sooo many realtors visit our home in a short period of time. He was able to deal with multiple offers in a legal manner while increasing the interest in other realtors.

During every step in the process, Bev resolved our concerns and kept usinformed. From the moment we decided to sell our property.

First, he completed an analysis of our property, as well as giving us ideas of how to increase the value of home and maximize our profit.

2nd, he gave a reasonable time frame to complete those projects and checked in with us on when to complete the pictures of the property for the MLS listing.

Not only did he advertise on MLS, he also emailed all the realtors in the NW with information about our property. In other words, he found the people who were interested in buying our property.

Next we were given strict instructions on how to deal with the realtors coming into our home. His encouragement and help sold our home for the maximim price in the minimum amount of time.

I would recommend Bev to any of my friends and neighbours. He made selling our house a piece of cake. Need I mention we have 4 children and my husband was out of town during the selling.

Thanks again.

I called Bev for his free evaluation on my home. He explained how he would sell it, what the process would be and the timing. He did everything he said he would. My home sold in 3 days at far more than I could imagine. To think I almost considered selling it myself. Now I`m laughing all the way to the bank. – Thank you, Bev…well done!!!

Hi Bev,

We had intended to sell our first house all by ourselves. However, after having it listed for a couple of weeks without receiving any tangible offer despite an open house; we went online in the hope of finding a good and reliable realtor, who could take the headache away. Then we found you!

We decided to choose you because the ad we saw, said that you were the best in the Hawkwood area, which is where we’re residing now. It turned out that you were the realtor who represented the owner who sold us our first house. We felt even more comfortable knowing you would have a very good knowledge of our house and would help us get a good deal.

You really lived up to your reputation – within days we received an offer and our house was sold. Then upon our request, you went out of your way to give us a prompt evaluation of our current house.

We are very happy and really enjoyed having you as our realtor.

Thanks again. We will definitely hire you should we consider selling again. We will recommend you to our friends.

We have nothing but good things to say about our dealings with Seller Direct in general . Bev Cuckow and his associates gave us an excellent market analysis presentation. We were given the option of sitting our own open house appointments and even in a challenging market situation were able to sell in just over five weeks.
We would certainly recommend Seller Direct and Bev Cuckow and Associates to our friends.

Lorne and Joan S


I wanted to thank you, Bev and the rest of your team for all your efforts during the past months.

Bev Cuckow & Associates helped us sell our house within two months of listing in difficult market conditions. We were given all the information that we required to price our house to sell. Bev did a great job in keeping up with the changes in the housing market and helped us to adjust the price accordingly. We would defiantely work with Bev Cuckow & Associates again.

Brad and Marg


Thank you Bev Cuckow & Associates for your assistance to sell my home and buy a new one.
Bev was very helpful in staging my home for definite sell. It took 10 days and 3 offers to get the suitable offer for my home. Bev advised me on the best time to sell my home and took me around to check other properties I found with my requirements. The funniest of all during these properties’ visit was his GPS lady who was very firm and precise on the direction. When Bev tries to take a short cut she didn’t let it pass without correcting him. When Bev went on vacation (rarely happens) his partner Earl took over the responsibilities with precision and finalized the sale of my home. We also spent many miles in his tank (car) to visit new properties and give me his honest feedback on the spot. The best thing about Earl is his organization and knowing the city map in his head. No GPS was required with him.

Bev is very experienced in assessing the value of the home when it comes to pricing and got me the best price possible for my new property. Even when the inspection was done and defective items were less than 1% of the value of the home he got me some money back to cover some of the deficiencies the inspector found. The inspector he hired is very experienced and was very Thorough. He went over every corner in the house including the wall outlets to inspect.
The best of all is that his fee is smaller than regular realtors because he is independent. I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg in real estate fees to sell my property.

I am very pleased with my experience with Bev Cuckow & associates and I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.
Regards

We first met Bev Cuckow and Associates in the selling of our home at 145 Hawkside Mews NW Calgary, Alberta. We were impressed with Bev`s expertise as a result of his 35 plus years` experience in the Calgary Real Estate market, so we choose him as our lister. We were very impressed with his method of marketing which involved professional measuring and exceptional night and daylight pictures which esulted in incredible brochures. Seller Direct provided an excellent team concept with great service and attentiveness as Bev was available to us at all times, even for trivial questions. The market exposure was terrific which resulted in a great deal of showings and interest in the house. Having previously sold five homes in Calgary, we could certainly rate Seller Direct with Bev Cuckow far ahead of all the major ral estate companies we have worked with in the past. But above all this, we saved over $22,000 on the commission compared to all large traditional real estate company rates and this reflected a highly positive experience for both the seller and buyer.

We listed our home with Mr. Bev Cuckow and were very pleased with the work he did in selling our property. We were especially impressed with his marketing plan, which resulted in our home being shown more than most homes for sale in our area, it was very obvious to us that he is a very experienced realtor with a very strong work ethic. Part of his service to us was to provide us with a “Home Staging Workbook”. The workbook was a checklist that allowed us to prepare our home for showing and present it in a very positive manner, which was bery helpful in selling our home. Bev and his marketing staff were prompt and efficient, and Bev was always readily available to answer our questions and concerns. This was something we particularly noted since we felt that one-on-one personal service was important to us. When we received an offer on our property we felt that Bev was a strong negotiator and was able to get us the best price. We can recommend Mr Cuckow as a Realtor who is honest, straight forward and always acted in our best interests.

Yours truly,

Tony Chin and Jenny Ng


Dear Bev AND Earl,

Thank you so very much for your professional, courteous service during the sale of our home.

Your kindness and patience was also a blessing during a very difficult time in our lives.

Your staff went well over the course of duty to ensure everthing was completed with diligence.

Sincerely,

Maureen Britton


Thank you for working so hard to sell my condo. Not only were you extremely patient and accommodating throughout the process but I really appreciated that you didn’t give up. Since I bought when the market was high I was afraid I might not be able to sell but you and your team didn’t lose faith and finally we sold. We’re now in a house and we love it! I can’t thank you enough for you hard work. You genuinely care about your clients. I will definitely refer you to my friends and family.

Kym Izzard


Thanks to Bev Cuckow Realty, our house sold quickly and best of all we received 2 offers so we received our asking price.

Bev Cuckow and his team of real estate professionals exceeded my expectations in the sale of my home and the purchase of our new residence. Bev listened carefully to understand our family’s unique needs. I never felt pushed to make a decision, and he provided me with excellent advice – telling me what I needed to know to reconcile wishes and realities. Our decisions were supported by introductions to Bev’s network of resources and service providers, all of whom worked together to streamline the transition to our new property. As a result, we’ve managed our relocation with a minimum of stress and are delighted with the choices made. There is no substitute for experience and integrity.

Are you looking to buy or sell a home? We would highly recommend Bev Cuckow of Seller Direct Real Estate. Bev helped us purchase our dream home on the lake. His negotiating skills helped us purchase it nearly 10% off the list price. It was through his connections, we were able to secure financing, property inspection, appraisal and legal services. He was available to answer our questions and help guide us up to the day of the possession. We were so happy with his service that we are using him to sell some of our other properties. If you are looking for a realtor whose experience and knowledge is the peak of the industry standard, call Bev Cuckow. He will save you money and use his experience and expertise to help you make your dreams come true!

Yours sincerely,

You are an approachable, honest, and knowledgeable realtor who we highly recommend.

We can’t even begin to express our gratitude and appreciation towards Bev, Earl and the entire Real Estate team.
We had not one, but two houses to sell, and were in a time crunch to get them sold and into our new home! Bev and his team made us feel like we were their only clients taking the time to explain every part of the process along the way and even managed to keep us calm (me especially!). Even when things were getting down to the wire, we were reassured time and time again by Bev.
In a day where most people prefer to text or send emails, this team picks up the phone or visits you directly to discuss your listing and the process involved. So professional and full of knowledge that only time and experience in the real estate world can deliver. It was fantastic to know we had “real people” taking care of all our real estate needs.
We are so grateful for Bev and the wonderful service his team provided. We’ll be sure to pass along their information to all family and friends.
We can’t thank you enough……

Kerry, Byron and Sally
