Since he works away the house hunting was left up to me for the most part. All I can say is THANK YOU SID. Without the honesty, integrity, and knowledge you possess we would have been lost. Sid was accommodating and very open about all properties we were interested in. No pressure to make decisions and extremely informative. We ended up purchasing a home last month. Sid was with us every step of the way and had the patience to continue showing us homes for months! We highly recommend Sid for all of your real estate needs.

As you know, our family moves quite a lot. We have bought and sold 4 homes during the past eight years, so we know exactly what we are looking for in a Real Estate Agent. During the selling of our most recent property, we confidently asked you to represent us. You did not disappoint! From our very first meeting with you, you were highly professional and enthusiastic. You were also extremely prepared. For example: you put together a comprehensive booklet (Comparative Market Analysis) for us, which outlined may details and comparable properties. We found that to be very useful. You sold our home quickly and for 98% of the asking price. What more could we ask for? Your knowledge of the current local market and your honest selling approach are second to none! We would, without a doubt, refer you to anyone looking for an outstanding Real Estate Agent.

More importantly, Sid’s client commitment, high integrity approach and engaging personality is a special combination of experience and talent that showcases his success in the real estate market.

Sid recently, and very successfully, handled both sides of a real estate deal to put us into the house of our dreams and to sell our previous house in what you might call record time. From the moment we met Sid, we were treated with respect, enthusiasm and professionalism. Sid was very candid with us, educated us about anything he thought we might need to know, and maintained extensive communications with us via telephone calls and email messages. Sid thoroughly explained our options both in proposing an offer on our dream house as well as in the sale of our existing property. In providing us with these options and offering us his opinion about which route might be most successful, we opted to trust his experience in realty and were gratefully rewarded with a very smooth transition from one home to the next. In closing, we would just like to express our gratitude to Sid for his gracious and professional service as a realtor and our thanks to him for his genuine concern for our best interests as a person. Sincerely, John & Shannon van Soest

Via this email, my husband and I we would like to thank you for your endless efforts, trying to accommodate our needs as first buyers, and finding us the perfect house in the great neighbourhood. Although our relation became so spontaneously, and it was just a phone call, that we occasionally found in one of your posters, driving buy, we can both now say loudly that we did make a perfect real estate friend, to our family. Thank for finding us our dream house, you had gifted us a home, where we feel welcome and easily breathe every time we walk in. The most sincere and warm regards from all of us! Sonia-Andi Klaudio-Nicolas and the little baby girl from mommy’s tummy.

We looked at many houses in Edmonton West end and St. Albert .We had a restricted budget for the house and we really wanted a house in the St .Albert or Edmonton West end .We were amazed that Sid was able to find a house in our price range ,with the rooms and décor satisfactory to our wants. Sid was able to negotiate a satisfactory price that would match our financial ability. We were very impressed with his recommendations in finalizing the purchase. With Sid’s years of experience he was able to recommend a reputable and personable home inspector and a closing agent .This relieved a lot of stress for the first home buyer’s anxiety. We were fortunate to have Sid looking out for our well being and best interests. Sincerely, Heather and Lubin Olsen

When we decided to sell our condo apartment we contacted several realtors to get a market analysis done. Sid really impressed us with the thoroughness and detail of his evaluation of our property. His marketing strategy and professional advice were outstanding. Due to his hard work and efforts we had a number of showings, resulting in the sale of our condo at full asking price. This was truly remarkable considering the real estate climate at the time. We had a very enjoyable experience working with Sid and we consider him a realtor second to none. We will definitely recommend him to our family and friends. Brian & Shirley Johnston

Right now we still don't believe that to be true. Without him, we would not have had this wonderful house. Although we have only met and talked to him a few times, we have so much to say about Sid Yar. He is a person with a heart in the profession, he always guides and answers our questions when we need them, he brings absolute trust to us. In addition to his knowledge of real estate, he also shared with us many valuable lessons in life. He brought so many surprises for us, he always tried to help us in the best way… One of his favorite quotes is "I wish I could give you more". Not only that, he also makes many charitable contributions to the residential area, for children… If you come to him to buy or sell a house, it means that you have joined him in contributing a donation to The Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation. Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to him. Wish him always healthy to continue to contribute and help more people in life.

We previously had no experience working with realtors, and Sid was highly recommended to us by our financial advisor Kimberley from TD. We contacted him, and he was right a very engaged and available to help. He provided us with valuable advices and guided us thru the process, which help optimizing our choices. Thank him, we purchased two nice properties at very competive prices, and we are very happy with the result of this experience. A side of being a very experienced, professional and competent realtor, Sid is an extremely friendly and trustworthy person with high values. He gives it all to help his clients. Sid went beyond our expectations, and we consider him part of our family now. We will certainly highly recommend him to family and friends, and to anyone who needs services of professional realtor.

Although we were not in Edmonton and the market was slowing down, he did a great job as our realtor and we did not face any issue. He was always reachable and prompt to respond our questions and request. Sid introduced us to a great connection of people including legal services, contractors etc. who were also great. He did a great job on marketing of our house and the whole process of selling took less than a month from putting in the market and closing. We are glad that wisely chose Sid as our realtor and definitely recommend him if you are looking for a professional realtor.

He went above and beyond what realtors would do for their clients. I recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a real estate in Edmonton.

He not only helped us to find our dream home, but also provided us a valuable knowledge transfer by which I quickly learned how to evaluate houses posted for sale. Infected by Covid-19, we couldn't see our dream home while he visited our house on behalf of us and recommended us to place an offer. I couldn't believe that I am offering for a house that I have never seen in person, but his recommendation was a great privilege and now we are very happy. I highly appreciate and recommend Sid for his great experience and support.

he was always available to answer our questions and offer valuable advice that saved us money. "This is the second home I've sold using Yar real estate team.. I can highly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly professional Realtor.

We had a very limited time for searching and in this short time he educated us very well in selecting the right house thus we save a lot of time visiting the worthy houses. After we chose what we liked he fully supported us remotely for the rest of the works as we were not living in Canada at that time. With his help everything went so smoothly that we had our house key in hand just the day after we arrived to Edmonton.

The way he briefly described the house, structural benefits and disadvantages was quite impressive. After speaking with each other as a family, we decided to list our property with him. He provided us with some very valuable tips how to increase the valve of my property. We did everything he recommended, he ultimately SOLD our house in 2 days at the full 100% of the listed price. Then our house hunting started more assertively. After reviewing our wants & needs Sid started to show us different properties. After short period of time we selected the property we thought meets or needs. He step by step guided us through the process and give us our options backing it up with statistics. The way he put the offers and his negotiation skills impressed our family a lot. He sold our house at higher price and purchases a house below market price. I saved thousands of dollars on these transactions. Our family is very happy in our new home. We highly recommend Sid and will always refer him to our family and friends. Thank you Sid for all your companionate efforts… He is no doubt No.1 Realtor of Edmonton. Asim Naseer & family

In summary we were not satisfied with the realtor we had originally chosen. We eventually took our house of the market while we evaluated our options. My husband and I had received a recommendation to use Sid Yar and took an opportunity to meet with him. We were extremely impressed with Sid from the very beginning. We found he was extremely honest with us regarding the options in our home, minor improvements we should make before re-listing and the price...which is always difficult. More important to us he took our concerns seriously and treated us respectfully, almost like family. We decided to list with Sid and were further impressed as he communicated regularly with us and took the selling of our home very seriously. With Sid's recommendations, his experience as a Realtor and professional level of service our home sold within two weeks for more than asking price! We highly recommend Sid to all our family and friends...you definitely won't go wrong with Sid representing your interests. I hope all is well with you and your family John and Kandice Machado Take care….

Every house we saw, he went through with us showing us the good and bad and explained what can be done to improve the house. His background and experience made the process easy. He was very responsive to our needs and was very accessible through our the viewings, offer making and closing the deal. He is highly recommended in our opinion.

We hired Sid from a recommendation, and we weren't sure what to expect. We needn't have worried. From our first meeting, we knew we were in capable hands. Sid was efficient and always quick to respond to our email or phone call. He was straight-forward in his dealings, and we can't imagine anyone who would have handled the sale in a more professional manner. We can't recommend Sid enough, and will certainly use his services again."

To me, Sid and his team have defined a new, exemplary standard for professional services, particularly in the real estate sector. I always pay much attention to the details and care about minimizing the risks and assuring everyone’s peace of mind, which sometimes makes me a challenging client. Sid has been one of few professionals across Canada that have surpassed my expected level of standard of care and competence, and I was able to fully trust his prudence and diligence in his service. Sid repeatedly says that he considers his clients as his family members and he does not exaggerate! He is extremely patient with clients and spends plenty of time to make sure they find their dream house with their budget. He educates his clients about what they should care for and the key criteria in purchasing a house. He does not abandon the clients after the purchase and continuously provides helpful consultations about the house maintenance and even furniture purchase, virtually as a family member. What’s unique about Sid is his team and collaborators. Interestingly, everyone he recommends within the purchase process, such as mortgage, inspection, and legal services, have the same level of competence and standard of care. The clients never feel a lack of knowledge or care with this team and can indeed experience the “peace of mind”. In summary, I recommend the City of Edmonton to ask Sid giving lectures to real estate professionals on the standard of care and professionalism, so others could have the great experience that I had in purchasing a house.

I highly appreciate and recommend Sid for his great experience and support.

He had our best interest at heart and adviced us what and where to purchase. He kept is from making bad deals despite the fact that he will be making money for the sale. His support through closing was invaluable. After our inspection, he negotiated to bring the price down and we got a good deal for our house. He is polite, available, friendly, and knowledgable. We could not have done it without him. Thank you so much!!

I talked to a couple of different realtors before I met Sid but things did not work out well. Until I discovered Sid, everything worked out so smoothly. He guided me from scratch and more than that he does not gate-keep information which I really like about him. He was always open on share pieces of information and answering my curiosity. My absolute favourite thing about him was how flexible he was with the client. He was down to work on the weekend although he had other duties to fulfil because I said I was coming all the way from another city. On top of that, he met with me outside of working hours just so that it reaches my need and request. Thanks, Sid for the wonderful experience and help. I genuinely appreciate it. If you are a buyer looking through these comments, I 10/10 recommend having Sid as your realtor, you would have an amazing experience!

Thanks Sid!!

Sid went over above and beyond to sell our home in a difficult market and dark situation. He was empathetic, compassionate, and understanding throughout our personal ordeal and acted as more than a realtor to get this deal done. His personal touch, and heart-felt approach smoothed over many hurdles and complications. He brought his expertise to the forefront and assisted the buyers and their realtor to ensure transparency and establish trust. Thank you Sid, for helping us to sell our home. This 5-star review was well deserved and we will definitely seek your support in future real estate transactions.

He went above and beyond what realtors would do for their clients. I recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a real estate in Edmonton.
