Buying a Business?
Commercial loans usually need a larger down payment than home loans. Terms depend on the lender, industry and your finances. I can refer you to lenders and help review the numbers before you make an offer.

Selling a Business Takes Experience
From a confidential valuation to closing – know-how built since 2007
What Sellers Ask Me Most
What is my business worth?
I review sales, profit (SDE/EBITDA), lease terms, equipment and industry averages. Two businesses with the same sales can have very different values because of the lease.
Will my staff and customers find out?
No. I market the business without its name and share details only with buyers who sign an NDA and show proof of funds.
Asset sale or share sale?
Taxes and liabilities are different. I work with your accountant to find the best structure for you.
Should I offer seller financing (VTB)?
For businesses that banks do not like to finance, a VTB can be the key to closing. I show you how to structure it safely.
How does the landlord approval work?
I check the assignment terms early and prepare the buyer package so the landlord can approve quickly.

Calgary's 8 Real Estate Districts
The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) divides the city into 8 districts. MLS® searches use these districts.
Downtown, Beltline and inner-city condos. Walkable, close to work and amenities.
Newer family communities north of the city, linked by Stoney Trail.
Established neighbourhoods near Nose Hill, the university and the mountains.
Good value, close to the airport, with C-Train access.
The most affordable area, with major shopping in East Hills.
Family-friendly lake communities and Fish Creek Park.
Mature and newer communities on both sides of Macleod Trail.
Sought-after communities near the mountains and top schools.
Not sure which area fits you? I can help you find the right area for your budget and lifestyle.
Alberta Has No Land Transfer Tax
In Alberta you pay small Land Titles fees, not a percentage tax. See what it costs to close on a Calgary home.
Estimate only. Land Titles fees are $50 + $5 per $5,000. Property tax uses the City of Calgary 2026 residential rate (0.66499%) on the price; the real bill uses the City's assessed value. Legal, inspection and insurance amounts are typical figures.
How Much Home Can You Buy in Calgary?
Uses the bank stress test and Calgary property tax to estimate your maximum price.
Estimate only. The qualifying rate is the higher of your rate + 2% or 5.25%. Uses 39% GDS and 44% TDS limits and the minimum down payment rules. Confirm your approval with a lender or mortgage broker.
Get Homes in This Price Range →8 Things to Check Before You Buy in Calgary
Calgary homes have local issues to check. I review these with you at every showing.
Calgary gets frequent hail. Check the roof, siding, windows and past insurance claims. Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingles may help with insurance.
About 1 in 6 Calgary homes is above the radon guideline, and newer homes can be higher. A long-term test after you move in is recommended.
A second kitchen does not make a suite legal. Check the City's Secondary Suite Registry. It affects rental income and insurance.
Under the standard Alberta contract, the seller provides a Real Property Report with City compliance. It shows decks, garages and fences.
Homes from the 1980s–90s may have Poly-B or Kitec pipes. Check if they were replaced, because of leak risk and insurance.
Near the Bow and Elbow rivers, check the flood maps. Past 2013 flood damage and insurance options also matter.
Review fees, the reserve fund study, meeting minutes and any special levies. Problems show up in the documents first.
Designated schools can change from street to street. Check with the CBE and Catholic board before you buy.
How I Sell Your Home for the Best Price
I use CREB® monthly data and recent sales on your street to set the right price.
I get the RPR compliance and RMS measurement ready early, so there are no delays after an offer.
Professional photos plus MLS®, this website, social media and the Korean community.
I handle conditions, inspections and lawyer timelines through to closing day.

Aspen Woods, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Evanston, Auburn Bay
Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Lake Bonavista, Lake Midnapore, Sundance

Jason Choi 최재봉
I have worked in Calgary real estate since 2007. I help families buy their first home, move up and sell, and I also handle business sales – gas stations, liquor stores, restaurants, dry cleaners, salons and more – as well as commercial leases and investment properties.
Working in both residential and commercial gives me a wider view. When you buy a home, I look at legal suites, rental income and resale value. When you sell a business, we can plan your next home at the same time. I make every step clear and simple.
I am licensed in Alberta and British Columbia, and I serve clients in English and Korean.
