Ally Keith truly understood what home our family was looking for. Especially being new to Lethbridge. She was very caring, professional and now a forever contact. We purchased a home for our son and Ally along with her team were nothing short of exceptional. Highly recommend SAH Team!

We had a great experience working with the team, Darren and Manson were helpful and responsive, and did their best to make the experience as stress-free as possible for our family.

We have been working with Darren for close to a year and we just closed on our house! Darren has been great to work with. Very accommodating to our schedules and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed working with him.

My husband and I had a great experience. Even if we were traveling and not always easy to reach, Darren was always available and resourceful. The process of our house purchase was a smooth as it could be we would happily use his services again.

Darren and his team worked diligently to get our host sold in record time above asking cost. He walked us through every step of the sale and was a true pleasure to work with.

After looking at several houses that we thought were a good fit for us but just didn’t feel like home. Darren payed close attention to everything that we wanted and found us our forever home. He also sold my house in what seemed like a split second. He has patience and kindness and was there every step of the way. From start to finish Darren is an amazing realtor in buying or selling your house!

5 stars and more for JL and the whole team at Southern Alberta Homes! As first-time homebuyers, we naturally had some nerves and countless questions. From day one, JL and the team made us feel completely at ease, guiding us through every step of the process with patience and clarity. Their dedication and positive energy made the entire experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. This is a team that truly shows up and cares, and for that reason, Southern Alberta Homes will always be our first choice.

Darren and his team at Grassroots Realty were amazing to work with. They showed us similar listings in the market to help us figure out a listing price. They also worked extremely well with communicating all showings. Our home sold in 7 days on market with the help of Darren.

He even helped us find a Grassroots’s realtor hours away where we were moving and he was fantastic as well.

His knowledge and experience and compassion with us on the sale of our home will be the reason I recommend the grassroots team for any future purchases or sales.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Carmen and the SAH team! She was an absolute pleasure to work with - knowledgeable, dedicated, and an incredible advocate throughout the entire process.

Carmen came highly recommended and after working with her, I can see why - she’s exceptional at what she does and such a lovely presence to have throughout the home-buying process. I’m so grateful our paths crossed and would recommend her to family and friends in a heartbeat!

I cannot recommend southern Alberta homes team enough! Manson and his team were absolutely fantastic to deal with from start to finish.

I highly recommend working with Kristie Kruger from the Grassroots Realty Group. I relocated from BC to Alberta, and she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kristie genuinely cares about her clients and always keeps their best interests at heart. She—and the entire team—absolutely deserve 5 stars.

Carmen Brewerton was an absolute joy to work with when purchasing my dream home! I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She is professional and knowledgeable, has great communication skills and is very approachable. Being a first-time home buyer, she handed all of the details so I could simply relax and enjoy the process. She made the experience seamless and stress free. Carmen is truly there to serve her clients and won't settle for anything less than the best. There was no pressure, only excitement to find the right home for me and my boys. She is truly exceptional. She goes above and beyond, and I will forever be grateful for her services.

We called Darren to tour a home for sale on a quick stop in Lethbridge on our way back to Edmonton. He met us within the hour and although that property wasn't for us, he said he could work with us remotely to find the right fit for us. Well after a FaceTime showing on a different property we decided to make our purchase. He helped with every aspect of the sale and even did the pre-possession walk-through for us. We arrived in town to take possession of the new property and it was perfect! Thanks Darren for making everything so easy and the place is amazing!!

Working with Darren was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication were unmatched. They took the time to truly understand our needs, kept us informed every step of the way and made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free.
With buying a house outside the country but selling our home in Canada, Darren was communicative through every step despite the distance. We highly recommend Darren and his team for your buying and selling process.

Carmen was absolutely fabulous. This was our 2nd time using her to support the selling of our house.
She went above and beyond every step of the way. She always seemed one step in front of us. Everyone knows how stressful selling and buying a house can be. Carmen, thanks for everything. You made the experience stress free and really had our best interests in mind. Again you got us more money in our pockets and you really did everything you possibly could to help us. Thanks so much!

Who says you can't buy a home in less than 10 days, virtually, in another province, during the dead of winter?? We did it!!! But only with the support, knowledge and perseverance of Carmen. Her professionalism and knowledge has been remarkable. With the crazy market and low inventory, buying a house was not for the faint of heart. Kind of like a rollercoaster! But Carmen helped us ride it out with her speed, accuracy and foresight of the hour to hour changes in the market. She knows how to get it done!
She provided us with walk thru videos of homes, pointing out items we would not have thought to see. Carmen was our eyes, ears and nose in every property we viewed virtually. Yes we trust her integrity 100%. Her communication with us was astounding - just a minute away from every text! Definitely a whirlwind, but a successful event. Carmen represents what a Realtor is all about... trustworthy, knowledgable, driven and a friend.

We can not say enough positive things about Grassroots Realty Group. We had the privilege of working with Darren Gugyelka on both the selling side and the buying. He made the process worry free and was able to facilitate the process even though we unexpectedly were out of town for the majority of the time. Darren was able to answer our questions and help make sure everything went smoothly. He assisted us in receiving the best price possible in selling our home while negotiating an agreeable purchase price for our new home. Darren was very professional and hard working. We greatly appreciate everything he has done for us and would highly recommend him and his team. We would definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you Darren and the Grassroots Realty Group. You're the best!

We have worked with both Manson & Kristie on the sales of 2 homes. They are both great realtors to work with.

Manson assisted us in the purchase of our first southern Alberta home. He then was there for us 7 years later when it was time to move on the the next phase. There were no dumb questions and Manson has been there for each step assisting and guiding us through a sometimes difficult and confusing transition in life. I would recommend Manson and his team to anyone. It felt like a real down to earth experience and no mumbo jumbo. Thank you for all of your help!
