SERVUS CREDIT UNION

ADDED VALUE SERVICES

You know the saying, “when you want something done right, do it yourself.” We’re pretty sure that’s what our ancestors were thinking when they formed the first credit unions in Alberta.

It was 1938 and Alberta was in the depths of the Great Depression. Times were tough; the banks were pulling out. So the people banded together — pooling their money and loaning it to their neighbours. These loans kept local farms and businesses operating, which helped the economy recover. The first of these “credit unions” was called Mangan and it’s at the root of our family tree.

So, yeah, we’ve been here a while. We’ve stuck with our members through good times and bad. And because of that we’re now Alberta’s largest credit union with more than 100 branches and nearly 380,000 owners who believe in the power of member banking.

WHY BANK WITH SERVUS?

We’re driven by our purpose to shape member financial fitness. It’s why we use all our humanity and technology to help our members’ feelings about money, be good ones.

PROFIT SHARING PROGRAM:

We’re driven by our purpose to shape member financial fitness. It’s why we use all our humanity and technology to help our members’ feelings about money, be good ones.

OUR ORGANIZATION:

Servus Credit Union, Alberta’s largest credit union, is a member-owned, community-based financial institution with roots dating back to 1938.

THE SERVUS STORY:

It all started in 1938 when some gutsy independent thinkers broke away from the banks. The first credit union in Alberta was formed and the Servus story began. While much has changed, our values remain the same.

SELLING WITH COMPLETE

Listing your home with the right agent is more important than ever.

LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH A REALTOR YOU CAN TRUST? START HERE. MORE EXPERTISE. MORE SERVICES. MORE MARKETING. FIND OUT HOW THE COMPLETE TEAM HELPS SELLERS.

When you list your homes for sale in Calgary, you want two things:

1. The highest possible price in the least amount of time on market

2. A smooth selling experience with minimal inconvenience and hiccups

The Coronavirus pandemic has reshaped your daily life and rituals, but it doesn’t have to impact your selling goals too. While the process and mechanics of selling a home have been updated to reflect the ‘new normal’, the goals remain the same.

These days, successful real estate sales depend on:

1. Reaching Buyers Online, beyond the MLS

2. Virtual Showing Opportunities that give Buyers a traditional ‘first showing’ or ‘open house’ moment so they still experience love at first sight

3. Safe In-Person Showings that encourage the right people to see a home in person, while minimizing risk

4. Right Pricing Strategies and agent negotiating skills to succeed in an uncertain market with a nervous pool of buyers

5. Smooth Seller Experiences that hinge on communication, trust and transparency, provided by skilled experts able to maneuver unique circumstances.

OUR ADDED VALUE SERVICES AT A GLANCE

The process of buying a home has changed – but that’s not necessarily bad news. In many ways, re-envisioning the buying and selling a home has accelerated much-needed change in an old-school industry.

The COMPLETE team has always been digital-first and we’ve taken this opportunity to redesign our client experience. Our updated approach to helping Calgary and surrounding home Buyers is consistent with the COMPLETE values our clients expect and reflects the new safety protocols and requirements needed today. We still:

• Embrace fresh ideas and bold thinking

• Are real and transparent

• Work hard and hustle

• Are responsive and available

• Obsess about the details

• Do the right thing for the long term, putting people over profits

But these days, we also prioritize:

• Virtual & Digital Before ‘In-Person’

• Safety First

VIRTUAL & DIGITAL + ‘IN PERSON AT A GLANCE’

We’ve revisited every aspect of buying a home and now offer much of our experience virtually. From an initial consultation over Zoom to athome house-hunting and virtual neighbourhood tours with our agents, to digitally signing offers and presenting them virtually, we’ve drastically minimized the amount of physical contact required to buy a home.

WHY BUY WITH COMPLETE?

1. GET THE POWER OF A REAL TEAM WORKING FOR YOU

Our Buyers are not only matched with the COMPLETE agent who is best suited to help them, but they also benefit from the combined experience of the whole team. More neighbourhood and building expertise, multiple skillsets, styles and flexible schedules – these factors have taken on even greater importance in the new normal.

2. NEGOTIATION AND OFFER EXPERTISE

Nobody wants to unknowingly pay too much for a home or lose a bidding war, and COMPLETE Buyers benefit from our experience helping hundreds of Buyers just like you. We use advanced negotiation and offer strategies to help you get the home you want at the price you want.

3. OUR OBSESSION WITH DETAILS ENSURES YOU’RE LEGALLY PROTECTED

Our job is to protect our Buyers’ interests above all else. We lose sleep over:

• Performing extensive due diligence before you make an offer

• Striving for flawless paperwork

• Offering advanced legal expertise for the tricky stuff

• Making sure you always know what’s going on. See our communication guarantees.

4. NO BS, JUST TRUTH AND TRANSPARENCY

We want to make sure our clients buy the right home. We know what’s happening in the Calgary real estate market and we’re not afraid to speak the truth. Is it a good time to buy? What’s the next hot neighbourhood? Is it a good investment?

5. FOR US, FINDING THE RIGHT PROPERTY IS JUST THE BEGINNING

From the start of your search until long after you’ve moved into your new home, you’ll get the benefit of our partnerships with some of the best home service professionals in Calgary. Our lenders, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, lawyers, movers, painters, handymen and home service professionals aren’t just best in class – they’ve also been vetted for their coronavirus safety protocols and chosen for their commitment to servicing clients virtually, where possible. We’re here to help every step of the way.

If you’re planning on buying a new home, you may need a mortgage. Servus Credit Union pallows you to receive a part of the profits. >>

PLANNING ON BUYING?

YOU’LL NEED A MORTGAGE

A MORTGAGE THAT FITS YOUR WALLET

Life is expensive. Luckily, your mortgage doesn’t have to be.

Our mortgages provide market leading rates and cash rewards every year with Profit Share® Rewards cash. The best part? We personalize your mortgage, so it fits just right.

THE BEST RATES

Our rates are already some of the best, but did you know that what you see doesn’t have to be what you get?

When you work with one of our mortgage experts, they’ll help determine your personal rate which is typically lower than our posted rates and often lower than what you’ll find at the banks.

ONLINE CALCULATORS & TOOLS

Online tools help you manage your money, calculate savings, track your investments and even calculate your yearly earnings from profit sharing when getting a mortgage. Mortgage calculators help people see what they would pay each month, how much they can afford and how much they would save if adding more money to it. It’s convenient, responsible and a useful resource that is there when you need it.

THE “YOU DESERVE MORE” GUARANTEE

We promise no B.S.

Relationships are built on trust. And we take that trust very seriously. We promise to be upfront and honest with you, even if it’s not what you want to hear. We don’t delude ourselves into thinking that real estate happens from 9-5 on weekdays. Your schedule is our schedule; your availability is our availability.

‘EXPECT MORE’ GUARANTEES

THE “YOU WANT US, YOU GOT US” GUARANTEE

We promise to always be responsive. When you’re working with us, you can count on us to be reachable. You can get in touch with us by phone, email, text message, website chat or Facebook. Usually, we respond by the same channel, right away. And if we don’t return your message or call within 12 hours? We’ll donate $20 to a charity of your choice.

THE “YOU’LL KNOW WHAT WE KNOW” GUARANTEE

We promise to keep you updated.

There’s nothing worse than not knowing what’s happening. When you’re selling your home with the COMPLETE team, we’re committed to providing a weekly huddle call or meeting and a formal update on showings, feedback, marketing activity and competition. If we don’t deliver? We’ll deduct $500 from your commission.

THE “HAPPY BUYER & SELLER” GUARANTEE

We won’t hold you hostage to a piece of paper. If there’s ever a problem while you’re working with us, we’ll do everything we can to fix it. If we can’t, then we’ll release you from your contract. We don’t think you should be contractually bound to work with someone if you feel they’ve broken their promises. If you aren’t happy, then neither are we. It’s that simple.

THE “NO BAD MARKETING” GUARANTEE

We promise to treat you like a person, not a lead. We’ll respect your inbox and won’t send you endless spammy emails and recipes for pumpkin pie. We won’t cold call or stalk you. We don’t stay in touch to get in touch with your contacts. Promise.

We promise no fridge magnets.

We know that you think most real estate agents are bad at marketing and sadly, we think so too. We promise to always work with professional designers and not think we can do it ourselves. We promise to not use the Comic Sans font. Also, we promise never to give you a fridge magnet with a picture of ourselves on it. Because we think that’s just weird.

We believe you deserve our best. We created these guarantees to ensure you can hold us accountable if we ever leave you feeling like you didn’t get the service we promised.

NO B.S. CODE OF CONDUCT

All Realtors in Alberta are held to a Code of Ethics. We don’t think it goes far enough. While we can’t single-handledly change the real estate industry, we can hold ourselves accountable to a higher standard.

Every COMPLETE team member is held to the COMPLETE No BS Code of Conduct. It ensures that:

1. Our Buyers and Sellers will always be represented by their own individual agent. Despite the legality of ‘multiple representation’ – where one agent represents both the Buyer AND the Seller in a sale – we just don’t think that’s fair. We don’t double-dip.

2. We won’t exaggerate or manipulate our sales statistics. We don’t tout BS internal awards and sales stats about how much money we make. We’re more interested in turning Sellers and Buyers into happy customers.

3. Our clients have the final say in our performance. We ask every Buyer and Seller for feedback (not just the ones who love us). Our goal is a 5-star review and we’ll do whatever we need to do to get it.

4. Transparency, not games. From ethically run bidding wars to direct, honest advice to upfront pricing and inclusions, we believe in transparency.

5. We only do what we know. We won’t sell a rural property and we won’t work in a neighbourhood we aren’t familiar with. If we aren’t the best person for the job, we’ll find the person who is.

6. We’re obsessive about flawless paperwork and details. We understand the importance of the legal paperwork. Missed initials and clauses just aren’t OK. We go well beyond industry standards in providing information and data, from accurate square footage measurements and floor plans to sold price details. We think Buyers and Sellers are best served by being informed.

7. We’re actively engaged in the real estate market. Every COMPLETE team member has made real estate their full-time career. We’re on top of the current market conditions and statistics, and we’re committed to continuous learning through education and training.

8. We’re inclusive and fair. We hold the Human Rights Code near and dear and treat people like we want to be treated.

9. We’ll always represent our clients’ best interests over our own. What does that mean in the real world?

10. We don’t hold our clients hostage to a piece of paper. If there’s ever a problem while you’re working with us, we’ll do everything we can to fix it. If we can’t, then we’ll release you from your contract.
