Joel Gwillim

Joel is continually a top Agent at CIR Realty and is known as 'the' Condo Specialist here in Calgary. His sense of unique style, modern flair and upbeat personality is renowned throughout the office. He has been called the jack of all trades, as notorious for such online advertisements and publications like Avenue Magazine quoting, “Buying, Selling, Staging + Design…Yup, he does it all!” His eye for fashionable design and love of creatively marketing properties has proved beneficial to sellers as he can help showcase your property to its full potential with staging assistance, color palette choices and reworking spaces. 

His favorite thing about the job is meeting new people. “Turning an initial great conversation into a client or even a friend is amazing; it really fuels my work ethic.” He respects and is appreciative for the trust people place in him to take care of such a big life decision. But he’s worked hard to get there, always making it a purpose to stay educated and knowledgeable about every facet of Real Estate. There is nothing more rewarding to him then helping someone find a great place to call home and/or showcasing + marketing a client's property for sale. He undoubtedly takes great pride in how he represents those that hire him.

His specialty is inner city living in Calgary as he loves the energy of the core and it's neighborhoods. He likes to keep his marketing innovative + cutting edge. Joel thinks that is really imperative in the current marketplace as a lot of potential buyers are very savvy when it comes to searching for their first or next property. Smart websites, creative showcasing, targeting the community, hosting events + online promotion are his keys to generating a buzz around any new listing.

He also admires the flexibility of being in Real Estate, which allows him to focus on other enjoyable aspects of life. He’s held a charity golf tournament for 12+ years that benefits the Parkinson’s Society of Canada. He’s also had volunteer opportunities with the Calgary Drop-In Centre, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Calgary Senior Resource Centre and the Special Olympics. Being a big animal advocate, his favorite local charities/non-profits to give back are AARCS, Robin’s Refuge and the Alice Sanctuary. If he's not working away at the office, you can usually find him out with his friends somewhere in the Beltline, supporting the Calgary Flames, traveling to his vacation home in Phoenix or golfing up the summer months in and around the city. If you see him around, don’t be afraid to stir up a conversation about Real Estate, you may learn a thing or two!

Joel welcomes all new customers and is forever grateful for referrals. Check out some past client testimonials and feel free to contact him directly.
