Testimonials

Starting in real estate is overwhelming—choosing a brokerage is even more challenging. I chose CIR Realty because of its incredible reputation, unmatched training, and the wealth of resources available to agents. But what truly sets it apart—the reason I stay—is the people.

Everyone warns you that real estate is a lonely industry, but at CIR, I’ve never felt alone for a second. Behind every resource, every training session, and every piece of guidance, there are real people. People who know my name when I walk through the doors and people who genuinely want me to succeed. Faces I recognize, mentors I trust, and colleagues who feel like friends. CIR is a brokerage unlike any other, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to start my career.

- Chynthya Gindele

Why did I choose CIR and why have I stayed?
As a newer agent back in 2016, I was intrigued and excited about the learning potential CIR offers its agents. It is truly an in-house support system created just for us as agents! CIR’s culture of caring and wanting the best for its agents is what keeps me here. From the Management Team to fellow agents, it is a collaborative, “we’ve got your back” atmosphere that I highly value. CIR has so much to offer, not only for its agents but for their clientele as well. It makes me proud to be a part of this brokerage.

- Krista Waterhouse

Looking back on our real estate journey, we often reflect on how fortunate we are to be part of an Alberta-based brokerage and how lucky we were to find a home with CIR. Although we’ve been with CIR for nearly five years, it wasn’t where we started, nor was it initially on our radar when searching for a brokerage. We began our career with a large franchise brand that offered excellent training, strong leadership, and the opportunity to work with an outstanding mentor as part of a small team. We cherish that experience and the relationships we built. However, we wish we had known about CIR sooner!

As an Alberta-based company, CIR offers some of the best leadership, technology, and systems in the industry. Everything is designed with the agent in mind, following the mantra “we make real estate easy.” For agents just starting out, all the right resources are readily available and accessible. The leadership team ensures agents receive support when needed while maintaining the independence to learn and market in their own unique way.

What truly sets CIR apart is the family-like atmosphere, despite being a brokerage of over 800 agents. The tools actually fit our needs as agents practicing in Canada, unlike U.S.-based programs that often require constant workarounds. The accessibility to the broker delegate team and the training content for agents at all levels is unparalleled.
 In retrospect, joining CIR has been one of the best decisions in our real estate career. We’re proud to be part of a brokerage that not only supports our growth but also understands the unique needs of Canadian real estate professionals.

Kirsten Smith

Director of Operations & Marketing

Choosing CIR REALTY was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career. From day one, they have provided an unmatched level of support, making my life as an agent easier and more efficient. The tools available—like Quick Connect, which gets me in touch with a broker within seconds, and the comprehensive virtual office filled with marketing materials and transaction management—have been game-changers.

What’s kept me here over the years, even when other opportunities arose, is CIR’s unwavering commitment to innovation. They are always improving, always looking for new ways to support their agents, and truly thinking ahead. The access to top-tier training and the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best agents in the industry has made a significant impact on my success.

Thanks to CIR’s incredible support, training, and community, I am experiencing the best results of my entire career. If you’re a new or experienced agent looking for a brokerage that genuinely invests in your success, CIR REALTY should be your first and only choice!

- Lori Evans

In 2002, a few years after a major life shift, I decided to change directions and go into real estate, which I guess was always at the back of my mind. Before I took the course, I went to a Real Estate open house being put on by CREB for new people to meet brokerages. I spoke with a few of the major names in town, and they all dodged or vaguely answered my questions, which I now realize they had to do because they didn’t know what I was prepared to do, and they didn’t want to make promises. After not getting straight answers on what it would take to “get going” in real estate, I hit the CIR booth, and the training manager tricked me into giving my phone number so he could call me and invite me into free training to get started. 

No one else offered anything like this. It was a lifeline as I had no idea how to start… I was off to the races pretty quickly, and with CIR’s tech, I could see I was way ahead of others who started at the same time as I did. Fast forward almost 23 years later, and I have had no reason to leave CIR. The culture, the constant updating of the tech and features, along with caring managers and the passing of the torch to new owners, has been nothing but positive and very supportive to all the REALTORS® and staff. I plan to be at CIR as long as I am in real estate. You would be extremely hard-pressed to find a better-rounded company.

- Rob Copping

I would like to share why I chose CIR Realty.
My story will likely be different than most other agents, as my reason was not really a matter of choice at the time but a matter of convenience. I was with a small boutique brokerage (Beacon Realty) prior to joining CIR, but I would still likely be there if the management group at CIR hadn’t offered my broker, Mathew Wiebe, a broker position with CIR. Matt is a great and knowledgeable young man, and kudos to Lindsay Smith and the team for reaching out to and hiring him. I have worked with Matt for close to 20 years, so when CIR hired him, it was a no-brainer to follow him to CIR. I have been a realtor since 1983 and have worked for a few brokerages. I remember when CIR opened; I always kind of stayed away from the larger brokerages, mainly because I liked the small office feeling. But the way real estate has changed over the years, agents don’t go into the offices anymore. So, what you need is support, which you have with CIR—brokers on call to answer questions at almost any time.

If I were a new agent or looking to make a change, I would highly recommend CIR. Their training, seminars, educational programs are second to none, and they have several social events for the agents and their families. This is a large brokerage with a small brokerage feeling, and they grow and change with the times, as far as technology and everything else relevant to the industry is concerned. Realtor for 42 years, 6 companies, and this is by far the best of them all.

- Jim Barbaro

Chloe Mitchell

Ryan Smith

Broker & Director of REALTOR® Development

I have been with CIR Realty for five years now and have found an excellent home base here for myself and my team. I originally selected CIR because I found that all of my interactions and dealings with CIR agents were always pleasant and, most importantly, professional.

There is an incredible amount of resources for new and veteran agents alike, which is very valuable. As an added benefit, I love that CIR is a Canadian and, even better, an Alberta-based company, and Alberta’s largest brokerage! I enjoy the consistent growth and creative support the management brings to the agents. You can really tailor the level of support you want with training and marketing, which is a great bonus as an agent’s career may develop and change over time!

- Natasha Phipps

What has kept you here over the years, even when other opportunities came up? The incredible culture, leadership, and continuous innovation. CIR’s management and ownership are always looking for new ways to improve efficiency and support agents. After 10 years, I believe in this brokerage so much that I bought in 2019 and still currently own the CIR REALTY Okotoks satellite office, growing it from 17 agents in 2019 to 46 currently in 2025.

What is one thing CIR provides that has made a big difference in your success? The combination of a supportive community and cutting-edge technology. CIR constantly evolves to provide agents with the best tools and resources, making it easier to focus on clients and business growth.

How has the support, training, or community at CIR impacted your business? The culture here is truly unmatched. The training, mentorship, and sense of collaboration have played a huge role in my success. CIR is a brokerage that genuinely invests in its agents.

If you were advising a new or experienced agent on where to go, what would you tell them about CIR? If you want to be part of a brokerage that values its agents, embraces technology, and fosters a supportive and forward-thinking culture, CIR REALTY is the place to be. It’s not just about selling homes—it’s about growing a business with the right people behind you.

- Brett Murrell

I have been with CIR Realty since 2010, and I chose this brokerage because of its exceptional support, training, and seamless transaction process. Over the years, I’ve recommended many first-time REALTORS® to CIR Realty because the training here is unmatched—it truly helps you jumpstart your career and find success quickly.

I know this firsthand, having tried another brokerage for a year before returning to CIR Realty. The difference in support, training, and ease of doing business was undeniable. If you’re new to the industry, CIR Realty is the place that will help elevate your career from day one.

- Kevin D’Costa

CIR Realty truly does make real estate easy, and that is what made me join CIR and stay. The level of support, training, and great advice is unmatched, in my opinion. They truly do everything to make the agent stand out and provide so much value to us. Even as CIR continues to grow, you truly feel that CIR has your back, and you are not just a number but are valued as a person. If you need anything, CIR does everything it can to help you build a successful real estate business. I am extremely happy with my decision to join CIR; I only wish that I had done it sooner.

- Jesse Vanslyke

My journey to joining CIR Realty/Team Blue was a unique and memorable experience that I will always treasure as one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made. Prior to joining CIR, I had extensively researched and visited numerous brokerage offices and interviewed several brokers to determine whether they aligned with my goals and values. During these interviews, I realized that I was not just being interviewed, but I was also evaluating whether each brokerage was the right fit for me. One thing that became apparent during my research was that many real estate companies out there prioritize collecting monthly fees over supporting their agents’ success and personal growth. This realization made my search even more crucial. One evening, my wife shared with me her discovery of CIR Realty while browsing online. She was impressed by CIR’s logo and website and suggested I check them out as well.

Intrigued, I spent the rest of the night reading reviews and exploring their website. By the next morning, I was convinced that CIR Realty was worth exploring further. I contacted their offices and spoke with Matthew at the North East office, who graciously accommodated my request for an interview despite my initial mistake with the office address. During our meeting, I was struck by Matthew’s genuine interest in my career goals and his willingness to support my success. It became clear that CIR Realty’s philosophy, “Your Success Is Our Success,” was more than just a slogan that you would usually see in our industry, but it was a guiding principle that resonated deeply with me. With its supportive culture, competitive fees, and commitment to agent success, I knew that CIR Realty was the perfect fit for me. I am thrilled to have made the decision to join the CIR team and look forward to a successful and fulfilling career.

- Jasm Mustafa

When I first started my career, I thought a small brokerage was better, and I spent four years in a place that was toxic and not helping me learn or grow my business in any way. I had a friend move to CIR a year or so prior who told me about the company and that I should give it a go. When I made the choice to move, my last brokerage cut ties with me immediately and made it a very difficult task for me. CIR welcomed me with open arms and quickly made me feel like I was welcome and got me up and running in no time. The support I felt from day one of my messy transfer made me realize I had made the best choice.

My first year with CIR was my best year in real estate. I love the ease of the virtual office, the continued support I get when needed, the amount of training and information sessions that are offered on a regular basis, and the ability the company provides to help you take your career as far as you want. Even though they are one of the bigger brokerages, I am still treated like family and feel that they really care about your individual success. I would highly and confidently recommend CIR to any agent, new or experienced.

Cathie Queen

Assistant Manager and Practice Advisor

Joining CIR Realty three years ago was one of the best decisions I made in my real estate career. From day one, their support and systems have been absolutely unparalleled. Whether you’re new to the business or an experienced agent, the training they provide is top-notch and has helped me grow my skills and business immensely. What truly sets CIR apart, though, is the sense of community. The collaboration among agents is incredible, and we all work together as one big team, constantly sharing knowledge and supporting each other. I can’t imagine being with any other brokerage. The culture, the resources, and the leadership here are second to none, and I’m proud to call CIR Realty my home!

- Hasan Abdul Fatah

I am absolutely thrilled to join CIR Realty! From the moment I was introduced to the value CIR provides to its REALTORS®, I knew this was the right place for me. Several key aspects influenced my decision, but a few truly stood out. First and foremost, the warm welcome I received during my interview left a lasting impression. I was greeted with genuine enthusiasm and given a full tour of the office—an experience I hadn’t encountered at any other brokerage. Secondly, the Quick Connect support system blew me away.

Getting answers to any question within just seven minutes is truly mind-blowing and reflects CIR’s commitment to its agents’ success. Another major factor was the 12-week Practicum course, offered at no additional cost. As a kinesthetic learner, this structured, immersive training aligns perfectly with my learning style and sets me up for success. Lastly, the onboarding process was incredibly smooth and well-guided, ensuring a seamless transition into the brokerage. While there were many other reasons I chose CIR, these highlights truly capture what makes this brokerage stand out. For anyone considering where to start or grow their real estate career, CIR Realty is, without a doubt, the best choice!

- Jayan Naiker

I’ve been a Realtor in Kelowna for 30 years. I have been through hot real estate markets and very slow (2008) markets. People still need real estate services in all markets. I really enjoy starting every day, loving what I do. Solving problems and the joy in finding buyers their new home or selling their home. I just sold a $3M lakefront home a few months ago, and I currently have a cherry orchard farm for sale. I am also willing to list a mobile home. Every listing is a new challenge for me at any price.

I joined CIR Realty three years ago, and it’s been the best move I’ve made in my real estate career. Management has been so supportive, and the large Alberta base of REALTORS® has given me referrals, which is a bonus. The training programs the company offers, even with my years of experience, have given me negotiating tools and marketing tools to assist my clients with better professional service.

Sarah Johnston

Managing Broker – British Columbia

Joining CIR Realty was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my real estate career. I was coming from a team, and making the transition to an individual agent was both exciting and intimidating. It was a big change, and I wanted to make sure I had the right support to succeed on my own. What initially drew me to CIR was the affordability and the technological advantage I noticed when exploring the virtual office. Unlike other brokerages that operate on a model where agents have something to gain from referrals, the reviews I found from CIR agents were sincere, with no ulterior motives—just genuine experiences. What has kept me here is CIR’s continuous innovation and commitment to providing the best tools and support. They strike the perfect balance—big enough to offer cutting-edge technology and automated marketing, yet small enough to maintain a strong sense of community. To name a few: the free, automated marketing for my listings and sales, brokerage contests, along with a professionally branded monthly newsletter, have become great, easy touchpoints for my database.

CIR’s events are always a blast, with fun activities like bingo and fortune tellers, and the best part is you can invite clients without spending a lot—making it an easy and affordable way to host a client appreciation event! Beyond the tech and marketing perks, the business development opportunities at CIR are outstanding. No matter your experience level, there’s always something new to learn, and I make it a point to sign up for as many sessions as possible. Even when I think I know a topic, I always walk away with valuable insights to grow my business. CIR genuinely wants its agents to succeed and provides a solid foundation for that success. I truly feel proud to be a part of Team Blue at CIR Realty!

- Michelle Krebs

I am so incredibly elated that I chose to join CIR. It was Sarah Johnston and her partner Darren who were the reason for my move. Both were inviting, and Sarah has a clear vision of where she wants to take our small brokerage. The tools CIR has provided me have truly made real estate easy and have launched my business to new heights. I joined CIR with the mindset of growth and an opportunity to help lead and develop this team to new heights, eventually at the broker level. The one thing CIR provides that makes the biggest difference in my business is support and a layer of accountability. This brokerage really cares that I am here, and it shows up every day! If someone asks me why I moved to CIR, it’s simple… the culture we are creating is world-class, and the systems just make real estate easy for agents. Come check out all the fuss and join us!

- Aaron Parker

Why did you choose CIR REALTY when you were looking for a brokerage? I chose CIR Realty because I was working as an administrator with a CIR team. I had seen the virtual office and all of the online resources, training, and systems, and I remember thinking, ‘I can’t imagine that any other brokerage can beat this.’ I did interview with a couple of other brokerages, out of interest, and sure enough, none of them came close to demonstrating the value that CIR offers. I was a new agent, and I wanted structured training and on-demand support when I needed it.

What has kept you here over the years, even when other opportunities came up? I have too many reasons to stay and no reason to leave. I believe that CIR puts me in the best position to grow my business. There are systems that help me streamline my processes. There is a ton of quality training, and the management team is extremely quick to respond to questions; they are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Yes, I may be able to find a brokerage with lower monthly fees, but I would be getting less in return. I know this would impact my efficiency and therefore reduce my income. I have found that quite often, lower monthly fees don’t necessarily mean that agents pay less money to the brokerage overall. Other brokerages often take a bigger split of the transaction fee itself or you ‘cap out’ at a higher rate. Even if the rates are lower, it isn’t by much, and the resources and support that CIR provides are well worth it.

What is one thing CIR provides that has made a big difference in your success? The Quick Connect tool is something that I never want to do without. I get instant support from someone on the management team. How has the support, training, or community at CIR impacted your business? The training has been great for my professional and personal development. The classes have taught me not only how to buy and sell houses but also how to run and grow a business. If you were advising a new OR experienced agent on where to go, what would you tell them about CIR? The value is exceptional, and the culture is great. Expect training on any topic you need, immediate responses from managers, commissions paid out on time, marketing material readily available, and a great team to work with.

Working with CIR Realty has been an incredible experience. As a proudly Canadian brokerage, CIR offers the perfect balance of provincial brand recognition and a strong local presence. The company culture is supportive and collaborative, making it easy to grow and succeed as a realtor. Their internal training and mentorship programs are top-notch, providing the tools and knowledge needed to stay ahead in the industry. I also love how CIR Realty gives back to the community through charitable initiatives with AARCS and RMHC, reinforcing their commitment to making a positive impact. It’s a brokerage that truly cares—about its agents, its clients, and the communities we serve.

- Devon Laanstra

Choosing CIR REALTY was one of the best decisions I made in my real estate career. When I was exploring brokerages, I asked industry professionals, ‘If you were a new realtor, which brokerage would you join?’ Their answer was CIR REALTY, citing its unmatched support and training—exactly what I was looking for, and I found it here. From day one, David Anderson has been an incredible mentor, a true leader who understands people and guides them with genuine care. His simple ‘Come in, Yaya’ has motivated me more than words can express. Beyond that, Cheryle Becker, the manager, is absolutely amazing. I had a last-minute issue with the buyer on a $1.18 million deal, and Cheryle called me at 11:00 PM to help firm the deal. That level of dedication and support is rare, and it speaks volumes about CIR’s commitment to its agents. What has kept me at CIR over the years? The unlimited support from brokers and advisors, the incredible culture, and the welcoming environment. The biggest difference-maker in my success has been the training, advisory support, and the positive community CIR fosters. The impact on my business has been tremendous, and I am truly grateful for the strong foundation CIR provides. If I were to advise a new or experienced agent on where to go, my answer would be simple: Always CIR, no question.

- Yaya Katuye

Why I Believe in CIR Realty – As an active real estate agent in Edmonton, choosing the right brokerage was a decision I didn’t take lightly. Had CIR Realty been in Edmonton when I first entered the industry, there’s no doubt I would have joined them from the start. Now, as part of Alberta’s largest and most productive independent real estate brokerage, I see firsthand why CIR is the right choice for serious professionals. From the unmatched Team Blue mentality to the genuine camaraderie among agents, CIR fosters a culture of support and collaboration that is rare in this industry. Beyond the culture, the brokerage’s commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology streamlines my business, allowing me to work more efficiently and focus on what truly matters—advising my clients. Their forward-thinking approach enhances productivity, making every transaction smoother and more effective. At CIR Realty, I’m surrounded by like-minded professionals who are committed to excellence, growth, and delivering exceptional service. It’s not just a brokerage—it’s a community that empowers me to succeed.

When I decided to make a brokerage change, joining CIR Realty was an easy choice. I felt an immediate sense of pride knowing I was aligning myself with a brokerage that understands the unique needs of our market. The technology at CIR is second to none—offering powerful tools for marketing, lead generation, and client management. But it’s not just about the tools; the training and support provided are exceptional. The ongoing education and mentorship have played a vital role in my growth, both personally and professionally. What truly sets CIR apart, though, is the culture. The collaborative and supportive environment fosters a genuine sense of community, where agents help one another succeed. It’s not just about transactions—it’s about building lasting relationships. I’m proud to be part of a locally owned Canadian brand that values integrity, innovation, and growth.

- Kelly Diehl

In my career (and life), I’ve had the privilege of meeting remarkable people doing remarkable things—the kind of people who genuinely make an impact. So far at CIR, my rockstar list includes Ryan Smith, Chrissie Worth, Todd Scoby, Kylah Lyager, Stacey Lush, and Samantha Roth. From day one, they’ve been welcoming, supportive, and instrumental in helping me find my real estate footing. The systems, support, and marketing resources at CIR are next-level, and I’m beyond impressed. Having access to such well-structured tools has made a difference in my first 2 months. What stands out most is that CIR’s leadership is accessible, engaged, and truly invested in the success of its agents. Kudos to the CIR Leadership Team! Lastly, Lindsey, keep shining—because even those of us who don’t know you well, or are in the back of the room, benefit from your passion, dedication, and the culture you are building.

- Linda Wilson

CIR Realty stood out to me when I was choosing a brokerage because of its unparalleled support, strong leadership, and the ‘Team Blue’ mentality that fosters collaboration rather than competition. From the start, I knew I wanted to be part of a brokerage that values both individual success and a thriving community, and CIR embodies that perfectly. Over the years, despite other opportunities, I’ve stayed because of the incredible management team and back-office functionality that allow me to focus on what I do best—helping my clients. The systems in place ensure that transactions run smoothly, giving me peace of mind and more time to grow my business.

One of the biggest factors in my success has been the unwavering support CIR provides. Whether it’s the training, mentorship, or the sense of camaraderie, I’ve always felt like I have a network of people invested in my growth. The ongoing education and resources available have kept me ahead in an ever-changing market. Beyond business, what truly sets CIR Realty apart is its dedication to giving back. The brokerage actively supports community initiatives and provides countless volunteer opportunities, allowing agents to make a meaningful impact in the community.

Being part of a company that prioritizes philanthropy aligns with my own values, and it’s one of the many reasons I’m proud to be a part of this brokerage. If I were advising a new or experienced agent, I’d tell them that CIR Realty is more than just a brokerage, it’s a place where you’re given the tools, support, and community needed to thrive. It’s a brokerage that truly works for you, and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

Joining CIR was hands down the BEST business decision I made as a REALTOR®. The support I received upon joining was nothing short of remarkable, including 12 weeks of professional hands-on, in-person training—for FREE!

CIR’s proprietary ‘quick connect’ agent support system gives me the guidance I need from CIR real estate gurus, lawyers, home inspectors, and property managers, whenever I need it. And the ongoing training, business management and planning workshops, coupled with cutting-edge in-house technology and outstanding marketing support, are absolutely invaluable to my real estate business.

- Virginia Wishart

There are a lot of benefits CIR provides to agents (top-notch marketing, excellent training, etc.), but the highest value for me by far has been the support I’ve received in the moment of doing deals. I’m here in this business to help people and do deals. I feel a great responsibility to my clients as I’m advising them on some of their largest investments. CIR’s Quick Connect gives me direct and nearly immediate (if needed) support from a large team of highly experienced practice advisors and managers.

Building my reputation as an exceptional realtor relies on me being able to effectively navigate a large variety of deals for my clients and to draft and negotiate clean and solid contracts. No two deals are the same, and this business can be very challenging. CIR’s Quick Connect Team is always there to support me when needed, which is often in the evenings and on weekends or in the heat of a wildly competitive deal. They answer all of my questions, give me great advice, refer me to the right places, provide language for contracts, review terms I’ve written, and they even cheer me on! Most of all, they give me the intel I need to best serve my clients. (Virtual high-five to the whole QC Team, thank you!)

- Kari Viccars

Becoming a licensed real estate agent gave me the knowledge I needed, but stepping into real-world practice felt daunting, until I joined CIR Realty. This brokerage has been a game-changer for my career. The top-notch training, continuous mentorship, and incredible team support have given me the confidence to succeed. At CIR Realty, I have access to a 24/7 concierge service staffed with multi-industry experts, first-class marketing tools, and a brokerage that truly invests in my growth. I no longer feel like I’m navigating this journey alone—I’m part of a powerful network that pushes me toward success every day! I am forever grateful.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible brand, training, and support that CIR provides. CIR’s dedication to equipping agents with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed is truly inspiring, and I’ve personally benefited from the culture of excellence you’ve built. Because of the outstanding experience I’ve had here, it was an easy decision to refer two new REALTORS® to join this brokerage. I know they will thrive in this environment, just as I have. Thank you for fostering a place where agents feel empowered, supported, and motivated to grow.

- Ankit Patel

I have been working with CIR Realty for over 2 years, and I am thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and dedication. From the initial consultation to finalizing, onboarding was really awesome. Their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to my needs. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets CIR Realty apart is their commitment to continuous improvement and professional development. Their training programs are top-notch, equipping their agents with the latest industry knowledge and skills. I also found their CIR Live sessions incredibly informative and engaging, keeping everyone up to date with market trends and best practices. Overall, CIR Realty offers an exceptional brokerage experience that I highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch real estate journey!

- Kamala Ahuja

I can honestly say I love CIR Realty. I’ve been in Real Estate for 14 years, and Team Blue is simply the best!! It offers first-class service and respect to its REALTORS®, values our input, and I feel like we are a huge family! The virtual office is superb, you won’t find better! (Trust me, I was with RE/MAX for 18 months). Conveyance is on the ball, and the training is excellent for all Realtors, especially the fantastic courses for new agents. No wonder we are the largest owned real estate company in Canada. I’m proud to be a CIR agent.

- Tyree Stephens

Kevin Niefer

REALTOR®

As a new agent with CIR, but with 9+ years in the industry, I have been so impressed with several things. The support from the management team, the professional and consistent training opportunities, and the overall nature of agents helping agents. I chose CIR because I have several colleagues who moved to CIR and loved it. Others have grown their businesses beyond what they expected, and with my desire to grow my business with a brokerage locally (in Cochrane), I felt it was the right move for me—and I was right.

- Marilyn Clark

Joining CIR Realty in August 2024 as a brand-new agent was one of the best decisions I could have made. After interviewing several brokerages, CIR stood out to me—not just for its incredible training but for the warm and welcoming nature of the people I met. Since starting, I’ve completed what I consider an amazing number of transactions, and I truly believe a big part of my success comes from the unwavering support available here. Whether it’s Quick Connect, the willingness of other agents to help, or the open lines of communication with managers, broker delegates, and even lawyers, I’ve always felt supported. The in-house training has also been invaluable. I’ve graduated from the Practicum course and am now halfway through the Empire eight-week training program, both of which have helped me sharpen my skills and confidence in the field.

CIR Realty is more than just a brokerage—it’s a community that genuinely cares. Lindsey, Kirsten, and all the managers are constantly working to make things easier and better for agents, staying true to their mission of making real estate easy. I may not have another brokerage to compare it to, but I know without a doubt that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. I’m proud to be a part of #TeamBlue!

When it came to choosing a brokerage, CIR stood out immediately. Their online presence and new agent info on their website made it obvious that I had to interview with them. I had been assisting with a different brokerage for about a year and assumed I would get licensed with them, but after being lucky enough to interview with Cathie Queen, my decision was made to sign with CIR. The Northwest office had amazing staff and a welcoming vibe. In addition to being totally blown away by the Virtual Office tour presented by Cathie, I was absolutely sold!

I jumped on the opportunity with CIR to take the Practicum course with the amazing Todd Skoby! Completely invaluable! It was a no-brainer to sign up for the Empire Course with Todd and Lindsey! I am grateful for every tidbit of information, including the banter and asides! I am into my second year with CIR and continue to be impressed by their fantastic marketing, the courses and training events offered, and the collaborative environment shared between all of their agents and staff. Thank you, CIR!

As a former coach and athlete, I understand the power of mentorship, teamwork, and pushing through both the challenging and rewarding moments. That’s exactly why I chose CIR Realty. The supportive community here empowers you to grow, learn, and stay connected. I’ve always been inspired by the opportunity to connect with fellow agents across markets, sharing strategies and trends to better serve our clients. Our weekly meetings and extensive education library are second to none, and the quick-connect support ensures that I’m never alone in navigating any situation. The level of training from management is a testament to the value placed on each individual REALTOR®. At CIR, you truly feel like you’re part of something bigger, and I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of this exceptional team.

My experience with CIR Realty has been truly transformative in my career as a realtor. With access to a wealth of resources, along with continuous workshops and networking opportunities, I’ve been able to significantly grow my business over the past 2-3 years. I’m excited to continue this journey and take my success even further with CIR Realty.

- Avi Sethi

I joined CIR Realty 20 years ago this year. I chose it because it was a family-owned business, and it was such a welcoming and friendly place to be. Everyone helped each other, and the managers helped rather than competed with us (non-selling managers were important to me). I’ve stayed with CIR Realty for all these years because it has consistently evolved and brought more and more to the table in terms of opportunities and ideas to help me help my clients. Some of my favourite things are the courses to help me keep up with changing markets and ways to make my business stand out, and the parties (especially the Stampede Party every year) where I can invite so many clients, and it only costs me to buy drinks for them.

The marketing team is always coming up with contests for my clients to enter, and Best My Nest is a brilliant idea that I talk about with all my clients, and they love it. I also love the volunteer opportunities they find for us in the community as well. I always join in for the Toy Angels shifts and love the brown bag for kids one, the Ronald McDonald House cooking for families, and so many more. There’s so much I love about CIR Realty, but these are some highlights.

I am incredibly proud to be part of CIR Realty—a truly Canadian brokerage that values both its agents and clients. The support, training, and mentorship offered here have been instrumental in helping me grow my business and confidence as a realtor. The ongoing education and resources provided ensure we are always delivering the best service to our clients. Beyond that, the thoughtful events they organize—whether for agents or our clients—create a true sense of community. Being part of a brokerage that genuinely cares about its people makes all the difference, and I couldn’t be happier to call CIR Realty home.

Ever wonder what it’s like to work at a place where it feels like a big family gathering is about to take place? Where aunts and uncles are excited to see you? Where you can ask tough questions and get great life-changing advice? And run into the odd duck of the family? That’s what it’s like working at CIR Realty.

I have been with other brokerages, but none made me feel like there was support, growth, encouragement, or ways to improve yourself EVERY DAY! Other brokerages want their cut from your hard work but rarely invest anything back. At CIR, the opportunities to learn are endless. The online video library can deliver as much education as you can soak up. Amazing courses, in person or remote. All to foster YOUR career. Come to the deep Blue C, dip your toes in…you won’t leave because you’re “home.”

- Arthur Verheyde

As a brand-new agent, I decided on CIR because of the incredible support, mentorship, and resources available to help build your business with confidence. The leadership is inspiring, the culture is dynamic, and it feels like being part of a giant, welcoming family. I always feel empowered and capable of providing the best service to my clients. Quick Connect is an absolutely amazing tool, and I am so grateful for all the help and learning it has provided me. I often attend the available online classes and participate in other in-office classes. There is so much valuable information available, and it gives us a chance to collaborate together. Being a part of CIR honestly makes all the difference for me!

As a new-to-industry REALTOR® a couple of years ago, I took my time to find the right fit for a brokerage. It turned out there was no comparison. CIR Realty was (and in my opinion, still is) the best brokerage for tools, support, professional development, transaction processing, and the Quick Connect system, which is amazing. The management team of Lindsey, Ryan, Chloe, Kirsten, and others are tremendous people who are authentic when they say they are always there to help.

- Rob Page

I chose to come back to CIR because they offer so much support, and primarily, local support. Other (American) based brokerages often confused me because their support was based on their market and terminology, not Canada’s. I also love how CIR makes it so easy to keep in touch with clients.

I chose CIR Realty because of the incredible technology they provide their agents. It is incredibly simple to navigate and very efficient. I also really love their Quick Connect system, which connects REALTORS® with lawyers, home inspectors, and anything else they may need, as soon as they need it. CIR Realty has been a welcoming place to start my real estate career.

- Aspen Muraski

When I was looking for a brokerage to join, I was drawn to CIR by the supportive environment and training that is encouraged as soon as you join. Being completely new to the industry, having access to the practicum and other learning opportunities is so beneficial. Another great part of that training is that it brings you into the offices, creating opportunities to meet other Realtors and network. Without that, it would have been quite intimidating to just start going to the offices to utilize the workspaces.

What keeps me at CIR—and something that CIR provides that makes a big difference in my success—is the continued support through Quick Connect, allowing me to reach out to my manager to deal with issues that arise around transactions. Additionally, the ongoing work that the management team does to offer tools and support helps me be as successful as I want to be in my business.

I think CIR has done a great job of creating a brand that is very well recognized and respected, which makes it easy to promote and be aligned with. I highly recommend CIR to Realtors, both new and experienced. My experience has been as a new REALTOR®, and I feel strongly that the success I have experienced in my first 2.5 years in the business is due in large part to the training and the support systems that CIR offers. For experienced Realtors, I would recommend CIR for the transaction support and for being a part of a brokerage that is so well recognized and respected.

- Kari-Ann MacDougall

I joined CIR Realty on January 1, 1990, when it was just a small grassroots company. I joined because of the people, and I’m still here 35 years later because of the people. Today, our technology is second to none, our offices have the wow factor, and they are modern and inviting. The training and education that is available at no cost is unbelievable.

As a seasoned REALTOR®, my favorite things are my virtual office—everything is right there when I need it—and my second love is our strategically located offices around the city with private, fully equipped client rooms. You can use any of these offices to meet clients, and these rooms are very impressive, truly making us look like top-shelf professionals.
CIR has spirit, and that spirit flows throughout the staff, the owners, and all the Realtors. There is always someone willing to help.

When I was looking for a brokerage, CIR REALTY stood out to me because of its exceptional management support and outstanding training programs. From day one, I knew I was in the right place, surrounded by a team that truly cares about my success. Over the years, even when other opportunities came up, I’ve stayed with CIR because of its reliable systems and seamless virtual office dashboard. Everything is so simple and efficient, allowing me to focus on real estate instead of administrative headaches. I don’t ever want to leave!

One of the biggest factors in my success has been the incredible support from management, the extensive training programs, and the strong sense of community.

The brokerage fosters a culture where agents feel connected and supported, and having four offices across the city makes working here even more convenient. The support, training, and community at CIR have had a huge impact on my business. I have benefited immensely from the ongoing education, as well as the fun family and client events that help strengthen relationships and build my brand.

If I were advising a new or experienced agent on where to go, I would wholeheartedly recommend CIR REALTY. The training, support, camaraderie, and events are second to none. Plus, the conveyancing process is smooth and efficient, making transactions easier for agents and clients alike. CIR REALTY is more than just a brokerage—it’s a family, and I am so grateful to be a part of it!

- Anastasia Dvorak

When I was looking for a brokerage, I really wanted a place where I felt supported and safe after feeling unsafe at my last team/brokerage. I wanted brick and mortar, a place I could go to see people! Camaraderie was huge in my last profession, and I wanted to feel that again. What has kept me here over the years, even when other opportunities came up? The support. Hands down. I feel heard and supported, even though there are 900+ other agents. I feel like I have a voice.

What is one thing CIR provides that has made a big difference in my success? Continuing education. Not just the basics, either—like in-depth ways to grow my business and be successful. And a lot of it. It’s ongoing every week! There’s always something. CIR thinks outside the box to help their agents be the best!!

How has the support, training, or community at CIR impacted your business? I was stuck in a bit of a rut when I first came to CIR, but now I am trying new things to engage my clients that I’ve learned through being here. I have gone through some hard personal and occupational struggles since coming to CIR as well and have never felt so supported. It has meant so much to me. So much so that I know I’m a CIR gal for life!
If you were advising a new or experienced agent on where to go, what would you tell them about CIR?

  • Fair and reasonable monthly rates, and so inexpensive compared to what is continuously offered to you.
  • Brokers/Managers who truly know their stuff and support you, also accessible 24/7 for questions.
  • Lots of fun and engaging events to foster community. And so much more!

- Holly Dunbar

Choosing a brokerage is similar to choosing your own name, as you rarely say one without the other. There is an inherent sense of pride saying ‘with CIR Realty’ when leaving a message or introducing myself. To me, it is crucial that your values and integrity align with your brokerage so clients feel that alignment throughout your time together, feeling respected and understood in their representation.

Having created long-term relationships with lawyers, mortgage brokers, and inspectors, I am always able to find the answers my clients are looking for. There is a constant feeling of being supported and protected within CIR. With continuous education, guidance, and resources literally at my fingertips, I have constant support for both simple queries and the most complex issues. CIR truly sets their REALTORS® up for success and is elevating the reputation of the Real Estate profession. My blood is actually bleeding blue, and my blue square tattoo sparkles at night!

- Candace Stanick

When I first started in real estate, I was looking for a brokerage that would provide lots of training, a team environment, and would have your back. Not only that, but I also wanted a brokerage that I could stay with for a long time—one that I could grow in while growing together. CIR REALTY had the Empire Program for 8 weeks, which really helped a new agent get a better understanding of the day-to-day activities of a REALTOR®.

The support staff and managers at CIR are truly amazing; no matter what issues arise, there is always a solution. The experienced agents within CIR REALTY have been incredibly helpful as well, and I find that the brokerage is truly a collaborative one. The systems provided by CIR make many of your everyday activities much easier, such as creating marketing materials.
