by Ian Elliott

Buying or selling a home isn’t just another transaction. It’s a pivotal moment, often the largest financial decision you’ll ever make. Navigating the ever-evolving real estate landscape in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and Leduc demands more than just someone who can open doors and schedule viewings. You need a true partner. Someone who sees what others don’t. Someone like Ian Elliott of the Greater Property Group.

What sets Ian apart? A rare combination of construction expertise, real-world project management, razor-sharp market insight, and an unwavering client-first approach.

From Construction Sites to Open Houses: A Unique Perspective

Before stepping into real estate, Ian earned his stripes in the demanding fields of construction and project management. As a Red Seal Carpenter, he brings far more to the table than just market knowledge, he understands homes from the foundation up.

This isn’t just a marketing hook. It’s a meaningful difference for his clients.

Picture this: You’re walking through a home with Ian. While other agents highlight granite countertops and staging choices, Ian is quietly assessing the craftsmanship, checking for red flags, and estimating renovation costs in real time. His trained eye catches the things most agents miss, saving you time, money, and stress.

Is that finished basement up to code?
What’s the true cost of modernizing the electrical panel?

The Human Touch: More Than Just a Transaction

But what truly sets Ian apart isn’t just his knowledge, it’s his heart.

Clients consistently praise his sincerity, patience, and attentive listening skills. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t talk over you. He takes time to understand your goals, fears, and dreams. And then he builds a plan around them.

He’s the kind of agent who calls when he says he will. The one who answers your 9 p.m. questions without hesitation. The one who sticks by you from the first showing to the final signature.

To Ian, you’re not just a transaction. You’re a relationship worth investing in.
