Testimonials
‘“We are very impressed with Carla Voss over the past 12 years. She negotiated an excellent rental rate when rental rated were sky high, She helped us sell our industrial condo in 6 weeks at top dollar when the market wash crashing. She also referred her to a client and she sold his building at the time when the economy was poor. I have since referred her to another friend to sell a difficult property. What else can you ask for? The best performance I HAVE EVER SEEN!” – Randy & Lynne B.
“In the summer of 2019, my business partner, who is also my son, needed a new office space to lease. We were put in touch with Carla and our quest to find a new office began. Carla asked us what we were looking for and lined up a few office/warehouse places to view. We decided which office space we liked and Carla did all the negotiating with the leasing company and got us a really great 3 year lease agreement. Then after we moved in and were all settled we had a gentleman walk into our office looking for a company to do work for him in his warehouse. We are a Commercial HVAC company and thought wow, walk in traffic, that never happens. We did not know that Carla was the one that had told him about us until we were at his shop and Carla was there as well. Even after Carla had found us our office, she was thinking about our future and promoting our business with others. That is going above and beyond and the world needs more people like Carla. We are extremely happy that we were referred to Carla and feel we have made a new friend and associate.” – Malcolm D.
“Carla Voss is a pleasure to work with. We got her contact from a friend as we were trying to find the perfect space for our new start-up company. We realized how finding and getting a proper commercial space is different from residential, and it was a great relief to know we were in competent hands. We simply could not have done this without her. She found us great options and helped us with negotiation and incorporating all our desired changes and improvements into the agreement. After few years we went back to her to negotiate an extended renewal to our lease, and I am sure we will go back to her for any future real state needs as we’ve already seen the value added by involving her in the equation.” – Nasim M. & Jonathan P.
“In June 2019 I started working with Carla on the sale of my building. Carla came highly recommended through a friend of mine who used her services on a quick & satisfactory sale of his building – and within 6 months of her taking on my listing – the building was sold in what was / continues to be, a challenging industrial market in Edmonton. I was very happy with the work she did! Carla provides a no-nonsense perspective on the industrial market and is not afraid to tell it like it is. I would not hesitate to use her services again!” – Mark T.
“Carla was absolutely great to deal with. She was very attentive to our requirements, and kept us promptly informed throughout the entire leasing process. Her expertise, and professionalism was appreciated by everyone involved in the deal.” – Scott F.
“Carla’s service has been exceptional. She took the time to explain the current market and trends and kept us updated throughout our listing. She even came up with creative ideas and pricing for our space in order to make us more marketable! Carla went above and beyond her duties from the point of sign on to the rental of our space! If anyone is looking for a professional, honest and reliable realtor we highly recommend Carla Voss!” – Chris V. & David L.
“We found you professional and thorough in our negotiations.” – Pierre B.
