With 2843 42nd Street hitting the Real Estate Market last week, it is time to answer the age old question: Why Live Here - Glenbrook?

GLENBROOK

Glenbrook is a residential neighbourhood in the southwest quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is located approximately 8 kilometres Southwest of Downtown.

Another reason to replace windows is to address energy costs. Modern windows are packed with technologies that lower heating/cooling bills. From low-e/argon to special spacer bars to high-insulating construction, these…

Hello friends!

I hope that you are all enjoying whatever may be left of summer and that you have had lots of fun gatherings and adventures! I intend on squeezing out every minute of outdoor fun before fall hits us.

But, when even I can't deny that summer may be wrapping up, we turn our attention for preparing for the inevitable. Yes, there is the eager anticipation of another hockey season starting but there are also things like booking an appointment to have the winter tires put on, and getting prepared for the impending change to not summer.

MaxWell Realty has recently had the pleasure of interviewing our newest Broker/Owner Darrell Borbely. Darrell opened the doors of MaxWell Performance in August of 2019!

Check out our interview with Darrell Borbely below:

 I got licensed in 2003, so approximately 16 years.

2. What led you to want to make the change to being an owner/broker?

 I've been watching the industry for the last couple years; everyone seemed to be doing the same thing, all new realtors, in my opinion, were not learning the basics they required to be a successful realtor. So if you want to change, you have to be prepared to do your part & try changing it.
