Ken Rigel Group

03/12/2026

Another amazing review from some pretty awesome clients!

"Our son is attending university in Calgary and decided to make the move permanent so that he can maintain his job whilst studying. We decided it would make more financial sense to purchase an investment property than simply pay his rent. Living in Edmonton, we had no experience with the Calgary real estate market. A friend recommended the Ken Rigel Group.

From our first interaction, we found Ken very easy to work with. He listened to what we were looking for and provided useful information about the market and the positives and negatives of neighbourhoods. He was prompt and professional and sent us listings to consider regularly. When it came time to inspect properties, Ken was prepared and knowledgable and asked useful questions about our thoughts and feelings about the properties so that he could suggest other options that would suit us. When it came time to make an offer and negotiate, Ken worked to secure us the best deal possible. Ken and his associate have continued to support us and provide assistance as we work towards taking possession of our new condo.

Purchasing a property can be very stressful so finding a Realtor that is knowledgable, professional and attentive is very important. The service and support that we have received from the Ken Rigel Group has been exceptional."

Thanks L&M! Can't wait to get your son all settled in!

The Script Just Flipped on Mortgage Risk 📉

We just finished an eye-opening article from Better Dwelling regarding a major shift in the Canadian mortgage landscape.

For decades, the standard playbook said small mortgages were the highest risk while large loans were rock-solid. The latest TransUnion data shows that logic has completely flipped.

Delinquency rates for Canada’s largest mortgages ($850k+) are now rising at more than double the rate of the smallest ones.

While the article draws comparisons to the 2008 US crash, there’s a key difference: this isn't a crisis of subprime credit. It’s a targeted squeeze on high-leverage owners and investors feeling the pressure of normalized rates.

Is this a cause for alarm? We don't believe so. This trend represents a correction in a specific, high-leverage sector rather than a fundamental breakdown for the average homeowner. In this new landscape, understanding the "new rules" of risk is more important than ever.

Most real estate teams start with good intentions… then stall.

On March 25 at 10am MTN, we’re joined by John Mikesh — a leader who has built and scaled teams across franchises, independent brokerages, mortgage groups, and platform models. Today he leads an organization of 2,800+ agents worldwide.

John has lived every stage of building a team — the early wins, the growing pains, and the rebuilds. His focus is simple: what builds teams that perform and last.

No theory. Just lessons learned from doing the work.

Lake life in McKenzie Lake. 🌊

This 2-storey home at 304 Mt. Brewster Circle SE sits on a massive pie-shaped lot in one of Calgary’s most loved lake communities. Inside you’ll find over 1,900 sq ft of well-planned living space.

Upstairs has three spacious bedrooms, including a primary retreat with its own 4-piece ensuite. There’s also a bonus area that works great as a TV room, office, or kids’ hangout.

The main floor is bright and open with hardwood and tile floors, a cozy family room with a gas fireplace, and a kitchen finished with granite counters and a breakfast bar.

Outside is where this home shines. The landscaped backyard is private and built for relaxing, with a large deck and hot tub. It’s also set up for the future with solar panels already installed.

And of course, you get year-round lake access. Swimming and boating in the summer. Skating in the winter. Plus tennis courts and a great community clubhouse.

Schools are a short walk away, shopping at 130th Avenue and McKenzie Towne is minutes from the door, and Deerfoot and Stoney make commuting simple.

A great home. In a great community.
