Trusted Calgary Realtor Katherine Bennett — Scott McGillivray Approved — Alberta Real Estate Expert

Calgary-based, award-winning real estate agent, Katherine Bennett, has recently been named a Trusted Real Estate Professional by HGTV and Home Network star Scott McGillivray.

Katherine has extensive experience assisting out-of-province buyers and first-time homeowners, as well as advising seasoned investors, including luxury-level professionals, on navigating Alberta’s real estate market. Drawn by Alberta’s lower home prices and strong job market, many Ontarians are making the move west in search of opportunity. The transition can be overwhelming without the right guidance. Unexpected expenses, such as inspection fees, legal costs, moving expenses, condo fees, insurance and utilities often take buyers by surprise and can quickly strain their finances. Alberta is calling and RE/MAX’s Katherine Bennett is ready to help Ontarians answer with confidence.

With years of real estate service under her belt, Katherine Bennett assures that her clients are in good hands. Representing local and future homeowners, Katherine is committed to listening to her clients, focusing on their needs and using keen negotiating skills to ensure a successful transaction. Her intimate knowledge of this region, combined with her lifelong experiences of living here, gives her an enthusiasm and a desire to make her home, your home.

Katherine Bennett recently won the #1 Top Individual designation at RE/MAX Realty Professionals for September 2025.

Beyond her credentials and accolades, what truly sets Katherine apart is her genuine dedication to helping buyers feel grounded and informed throughout one of life’s biggest transitions. She understands that purchasing a home—whether across the city or across the country—is not just a financial decision but an emotional journey. Many of her clients describe her as a steady voice of reassurance, someone who breaks down each step with clarity, patience, and a rare kind of empathy that transforms uncertainty into confidence.

Katherine’s process often begins long before her clients ever set foot in Alberta. She spends time helping them understand neighbourhood personalities, school options, commute times, and lifestyle differences so they can picture themselves living in Calgary with complete transparency. Her virtual tours are known for being thorough and thoughtful, capturing not just the features of a property but the feeling of the surrounding community. Clients appreciate that she goes the extra mile, offering guidance on everything from relocation logistics to understanding Alberta-specific regulations that differ from those in Ontario and other provinces.

Her background in negotiation and market analysis allows her to advocate fiercely for the best possible outcomes. Whether she’s helping a young couple secure their first townhouse or assisting an investor searching for revenue-generating opportunities, Katherine tailors her approach to match each client’s goals and comfort level. She takes pride in being approachable and accessible, ensuring that her clients never feel rushed or pressured. Instead, she empowers them with information and insight so they can make well-informed decisions that align with their long-term plans.

Katherine’s deep connection to Calgary also fuels her passion for real estate. She has watched neighbourhoods transform, businesses grow, and city pockets evolve into vibrant hubs. This firsthand experience allows her to spot emerging opportunities early and guide clients toward areas poised for appreciation and lifestyle value. Her love for the region isn’t just professional—it’s personal—and she shares it enthusiastically with those considering Alberta as their next home.

How 2% Realty Disrupted Canada’s Market

Roy Almog is a Calgary‑based entrepreneur, real estate broker, and innovator. He launched his career in the telecom industry while investing in residential properties, purchasing, renovating, and renting in the Edmonton area. Frustrated by conventional real estate commissions, Roy founded 2% Realty in May 2007, offering full-service representation with a low‑flat 2 % commission. Under his leadership, the brand rapidly expanded across Canada helping other agents adopt his low‑cost, tech‑savvy, full‑service approach.

Roy is known for his hands‑on style, answering his office phones personally and staying deeply involved in day‑to‑day client needs. He actively monitors the real estate markets and leads his team in delivering high‑touch service at competitive rates.

The revolutionary concept of low-cost, high-value real estate representation is truly Forward-thinking Real Estate Since 2007! This distinctive approach fundamentally shifts the value proposition for homeowners across the nation, allowing them to Save Your Money without compromising on the essential aspects of a successful property transaction. The core principle is that Saving Made Simple! should be an accessible reality, not a complex or degraded service experience. Roy Almog’s vision established 2% Realty as a robust, 100% Canadian Owned and Operated entity, deeply committed to leveraging local market knowledge while simultaneously developing a powerful national network of dedicated real estate professionals. This remarkable framework provides home sellers with exceptional financial advantages, definitively proving that full-service representation does not have to equate to the burden of exorbitant traditional commission fees.

The proprietary model strongly emphasizes full-service representation coupled with a transformative, industry-leading flat 2% commission structure, which presents a significant and welcomed contrast to the traditional, higher rates typically prevalent across the entire real estate industry. Clients instantly recognize the substantial financial difference this innovative structure contributes to their net proceeds upon the closing of their sale.

The comprehensive full-service package provided includes everything sellers rightfully expect from a top-tier, professional brokerage: expert professional photography, thorough and detailed comparative market analyses, sophisticated strategic pricing recommendations, skillful negotiation tactics, and consistent, clear communication throughout the duration of the entire selling process.

A crucial and non-negotiable component of the brand’s commitment to its sellers is guaranteeing unparalleled market visibility and reach. Every property listed with the brokerage automatically receives Maximum Exposure On REALTOR.CA and Across Social Media Channels, thereby ensuring that the largest number of potential buyers, whether they are local, national, or international, are fully aware of the listing and its attractive features. This strategic, tech-savvy exposure is absolutely vital for successfully driving significant buyer interest and, ultimately, securing the best possible sales price in the most efficient timeframe. The integration of advanced, cutting-edge technology allows the entire operating network to function with unparalleled efficiency and transparency, directly reinforcing the sustainable low-cost business structure while always maintaining a superior, high-touch level of full-service delivery for all clients. This unwavering dedication to maximizing exposure is an integral part of the service commitment to every client who entrusts their highly valuable property sale to the 2% Realty brokerage.

Furthermore, the dedicated emphasis on providing genuine, deep expertise is always paramount to the company’s mission. Clients benefit immensely from the assurance that they will consistently Get Expert Advice From Real People, experienced REALTORS® who are thoroughly versed in complex local and national market dynamics.
