Joe Webber is the best realtor in the Valley hands down!! After spending his weekends all summer with two Albertans looking at properties, Joe got us the dream vacation home we were looking for. Ideal location, beautiful house and/or fair price; I told my wife Tara to pick two because we won't get all three. Joe got us all 3. The secret to finding a dream vacation home is patience & a great realtor!

We had an awesome experience having Joe as our real estate agent in our condo purchase. He is very professional and highly knowledgeable about all aspects in real estate. He is very detail oriented and thorough and had our best interests in mind. Joe is personable and listens to what your needs are. We would highly recommend Joe and would definitely use him again.

Joe Webber was an excellent representative for us. He was very responsive and helpful. He provided us additional information on utility providers and was willing to go the extra mile for us when I found out that our condo was having exterior work done on it prior to our possession date. Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Joe Webber to find us the perfect mountain hideaway in the beautiful Columbia Valley! We had called around to a couple of other local realty companies in Radium and Invermere and no one seemed interested in helping us out. My fianc reached out to Joe and before we knew it he was showing us some properties that fit what we were looking for and about a month later we were waking up to mountain views! Joe worked with us throughout the whole buying process and helped take away some of the anxiety of the purchase. We would very highly recommend Joe Webber if you

Tracy was very helpful in finding us the right home, as well as pointing out the pro's and con's of the homes we were looking at. She was very patient with us and didn't rush us into a quick decision on a home to buy. We have dealt with many realtors through the years of buying homes and found Tracy to be very professional and honest. We would highly recommend Tracy for your home search.
