About

Grant Crowther’s Biography:

Born and raised in Calgary Alberta, I have lived here most of my life except for a few years spent in North Vancouver, studying at Capilano College.  I returned to Calgary and completed a degree at the University of Calgary, where I graduated with a BA in Religious studies, majoring in Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism.  I wrote many papers while at university and gained a love of writing.  My favourite topics of discussion were; mythology, superstitions and the different beliefs of the supernatural and the afterlife.  I still have a great interest in these topics, so feel free to inquire.

After university I worked a number of jobs, everything from Cadaver transporter for a funeral home to water transporter on the airside at the Calgary airport.  But for the past five years most of my jobs have related to the real estate industry.  I worked for a real estate investment company as research assistant, where I learned much about investment properties.  The company specialized in multifamily and small retail/commercial complexes.  From this job I have experience in calculating cap. rates, and drawing up proformas and income statements for multiplexes.  I also have become proficient in obtaining information on properties through the use of a number of software and database systems, such as the MLX/CLX, SPIN, GEO-Jet, RealNet, Aurora and the Calgary Real Estate Board’s Property Database.  If you want to quickly find out about a property’s history, who owned it, how much they paid and an approximation of what it’s worth, I can find it for you. 

After working in this field I switched to a job in the education department at The Calgary Real Estate Board.  The Calgary Real Estate Board is Calgary’s municipal department of a provincial regulatory board which acts to govern and educate those who have careers in the real estate field.  This job taught me more about the technical aspects of being a Realtor, what it is to be a Realtor, the duties and requirements of the job.  After this I worked as a personal assistant to a commercial Realtor, and once again I focused my attention mainly to investment properties and multifamily real estate.  I continued as an assistant until I felt that I had gained enough knowledge, experience and confidence to take the Realtor course myself. 

I have gained credible knowledge of rental properties, and along the way, I used what I have learned and the money I have earned to invest in real estate myself.  I currently own and manage four rental properties which have helped me to subsidize my income while working the many different jobs I have had, they also helped to leverage me so I was able to take the plunge and become a Realtor myself.

Upon joining Prudential I have decided to team up with Joseph Fogal, my good friend and now partner in this new career.  With Joseph`s skills in customer service and negotiating and my knowledge of contracts, assessments, and value, I believe the two of us will make an ultimate team, providing top quality customer service for those looking to buy or sell real estate.  Feel free to contact me at 403-305-6887
