" I’ve worked with a lot of real estate professionals over the years, and Doug stands apart. He doesn’t simply search for properties—he has a unique ability to identify opportunities that genuinely align with a developer’s objectives, whether that’s maximizing density, unlocking value, or positioning a project for long-term success. What impressed me most is his ability to build productive relationships with all parties involved. Doug understands that the best deals aren’t won at someone else’s expense—they’re created by finding common ground and delivering outcomes that are mutually beneficial. That approach consistently leads to smoother transactions and stronger long-term partnerships. Doug combines exceptional market knowledge with discipline, relentless work ethic, and an instinctive “touch around the net” for getting deals across the finish line. He’s proactive, resourceful, and understands what results-driven developers actually need—not just someone to show listings, but someone who can originate opportunities, navigate complexity, and create value. If you’re looking for more than a traditional residential real estate agent—for someone who can think strategically, source opportunities, and execute at a high level—Doug is the person I would recommend without hesitation.

" We have used Toni to buy a property and she was absolutely fantastic! She was very patient and kind, disclosed all the pros and cons for every viewing and did so with a smile on her face. She made the purchase very simple and we would definitely use her again with no hesitation! "

- K. Stewart

" My family and I relocated from Fort McMurray to Calgary. Julio use to work in Fort McMurray before relocating himself, and had many great reviews, so I knew we were in great hands. Julio took into account of my families needs and wants and by the second house viewing, he was dialed into what we wanted and didn’t want. What I loved about Julio is he looks at the nuances of every home you look at it. He will tell you what looks great but also if there are any hidden “red flags”. He was professional every step of the way and his communication with us was consistent and professional. Highly recommend him if you are purchasing a home in the Calgary area. "

- Christian O.

" Our experience with Natosha was nothing short of amazing. From the very first time we met her, she was attentive to our needs, open to all of our ideas and suggestions, and just genuinely so easy and fun to work with. As our plans changed (more than once!), she was incredibly patient and always made us feel supported. She was constantly checking in, keeping us updated, answering our questions, and making sure everything stayed on track. We always felt like she truly had our best interests at heart. When we finally found our dream home, she made the entire buying process feel seamless. She took care of every detail, stayed on top of everything, and kept us informed every step of the way. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication gave us so much confidence throughout the whole experience. We honestly couldn’t recommend Natosha enough. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she made it exciting and enjoyable, and we’re so grateful we had her by our side. Thank you, Natosha, for everything. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! "

- Blaire M.

" Julio was our realtor when we bought and later sold our home in Fort McMurray, and he took excellent care of all our practical and legal needs. He’s both professional and warm and will always answer your calls. When we moved to Montreal he went out of his way to help us find a realtor here. We wish you every success, Julio! "

- Mc P.

" Only positive things to say about Natosha and her team. Very professional, friendly and the biggest positive for me personally is communication. Whenever I had a question I would have an answer from Natosha or Dawn instantly. I would 100% recommend. "

- Jed B.

" Julio is a wonderful person who helped us navigate the ins and outs of a successful sale while helping us balance the letting go process of our first home. It was an emotional journey and a successful outcome for everyone. We would recommend Julio to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. "

- Lorie W.

" Natosha is the good people, and we’re so grateful to have her in our circle. Her process is legit — so dialled in and so clear — which brought a lot of order to what can feel like a chaotic season of life. One of the best parts of working with her was how she kept us positive when the financing felt like it was on shaky ground. She kept moving the right pieces at the right time to keep everything on schedule, regardless of what was happening with financing, and that gave us a ton of confidence when things felt like they might fall apart. She also left a housewarming gift we definitely weren’t expecting — not because a gift is ever expected, but because of how thoughtful it was. It was something she remembered from a passing conversation, who knows how long ago — one of those things you’d absolutely love to have, but might never actually buy for yourself. That’s the kind of person you’re working with when you work with Natosha. We’re so happy with our experience, and we wish Natosha the absolute best. "

- Craig N.

" We couldn’t recommend Mackenzie more highly. She is kind, approachable, and incredibly easy to work with, always making herself available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the process. While her warmth and genuine care make working with her a pleasure, she is also exceptionally strategic and results-driven. She sold our home within 24 hours of listing and secured a price above asking. Mackenzie has helped us through multiple property purchases and sales, and each experience has been seamless, professional, and successful. Her expertise, dedication, and commitment to her clients truly set her apart. We are so grateful to have her in our corner and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. "

- Linda J.

" Service impeccable! "

- Marc L.

" I would recommend Natosha to everyone. For those people that are faint of heart or anxiety-ridden like myself, she is a rock. She has a wealth of experience, innumerable contacts for anything you may need and always goes the extra mile. She even hired on a free concierge service that can help take over some of the tedious but necessary paperwork that piles up when you’re moving. She kept me grounded when nerves made me want to spiral out of control. She is direct, honest, easy to get a hold of but also caring and empathetic which are important qualities. I would recommend her to everyone. "

- Lorin B.

" I just finished a deal with Natosha and some mutual clients it was fantastic. Clients were very happy, she did an excellent job negotiating the terms and and working with me, the clients and the other realtor on problem solving and deal management. I genuinely look forward to working with you again Natosha! "

- Dustin M.

" Highly recommend working with Julio Florez and the Florez/Burton team. As a first time home buyer, I felt confident from day one that I was in good hands. Julio was patient, never pushy, and gave me the space to really figure out what I wanted. Even when I paused the process for a bit, he respected that and was there when I was ready, always happy to answer any questions. He’s genuinely easy to work with, and the support from the team was great as well. I was kept in the loop on all the background communication, which really helped me stay informed and learn the process along the way. Overall, a great experience. Thank you Julio, Sarah, and the team. Hope to work together again in the future! "

- Dylan G.

" I have a rental property in Calgary and live in Ontario, Julio was recommend to me via an agent that I have dealt with for years in Ontario. Julio made the process smooth and easy, he set up the condo for photos and viewing. He even did some small repairs for damages on the walls so that the place would look great for potential buyers. I highly recommend Julio for his professionalism and how easy he made this process to sell. "

- Renzie P.

" I’ve had the opportunity to see Julio work up close in both Fort McMurray and Calgary, and he consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and dedication. He is passionate about his work, optimistic, and confident in the process, creating a calm and reassuring experience for his clients.

- Paulina & Nick L. (buyers)

" Julio is one of the most genuine and honest realtors that we have met and worked with. He understood our requirements and patiently showed us all potential properties around Calgary. He never rushed us to make a decision, in-fact sometime he would suggest us to reject some properties and explained how it would not fit our needs. Finally when we did put an offer on a house, he took full ownership of making sure all communication between the lender, lawyer, seller agent was timely and professionally managed. Would highly recommend Julio to any new comer to Calgary, he is very knowledgeable and trusted realtor to rely on. "

" If you’re looking for a real estate agent, I truly cannot recommend Natosha enough! As first time home buyers, my fiancé and I had very little knowledge going into the process, but she made everything feel so much easier and less overwhelming. She answered every single question we had, was always quick to help, and honestly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire experience. Natosha is incredibly hardworking, organized, and always on top of everything. She knows how to get things done while still making you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Plus, she’s always smiling and genuinely cares about her clients. Funny enough, because we’re young first-time buyers, we even used AI to help us search for a realtor… and somehow we still ended up finding the absolute best one possible! Even ChatGPT couldn’t have recommended someone better. 😂 We are so grateful for everything she did for us and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Natosha! "

" We randomly met Natosha when we stopped in for an open house, but immediately we connected and loved her energy. She was patient with us over the year as we waited to get our lives sorted and never made us feel like we were wasting her time. Last summer Natosha helped us buy a new home and was there for every step. She answered ALL the questions we had and most recently she helped us sell our condo. I jokingly told her I wanted it sold in the first weekend and, sure enough, she delivered! We couldn't have been happier with how the process went. "

From the beginning she made the process of buying our first house simpler, she make sure all the ducks are in order, and she fought for us every step of the way- from getting us a better deal to negotiating with the bank so they issued our payment on time. Natosha always had our best interests in mind and made sure we found the right place for us while taking care of all the stressful stuff. "

" Working with Toni has been one of the best decisions we made throughout our buying and selling journey. From start to finish, they guided us through every step with honesty, patience, and true expertise. Whether we were preparing to sell, searching for the right new home, or even exploring the possibility of becoming landlords, they made the entire process feel manageable and minimized our stress. What stood out most was how thoroughly they explained each option, answered every question (big or small), and never rushed us into a decision. Their knowledge of the market was spot-on, their communication was always clear and timely, and they consistently went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident in each step. We always felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. If you’re looking for a realtor who is professional, reliable, and truly invested in your success, we cannot recommend Toni enough. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into a positive and empowering one. We are incredibly grateful for their guidance and would absolutely work with them again. "
