Marianna was the most amazing and hardest working realtor I've ever met. She staged my whole house, answered every question any time I had one. Tackled every challenge she faced with calm and professional manner. She knew all about the challenges we faced in Tobiano as residents and all the needed information. She didn't just sell my house but helped me buy one at the same time....Marianna Kindrachuk and Don Blocka team lives in Tobiano and represents our community well. Highly recommend them to every Tobiano resident if you ever decided to sell your place!!! Thank you Marianna and Don for your dedication to exceptional service to your clients.

Don and Marianna did an absolutely fantastic job in selling our place. From the initial suggestion of pricing, to the arranging of professional photographers to photograph and highlight the property, to the actual marketing--all was handled in a calm and professional manner. No pressure was applied to make rush decisions.The end result certainly spoke for itself in that the property received multiple offers and sold in excess of market price--a tremendous achievement in a very difficult environment.We were very pleased with both Don and Marianna and would recommend them and Sotheby's unconditionally.Uldis and Nancy Upitis

I would like to thank Marianna and Don for all of the hard work they put in to sell my house at 32 Heritage Landing. I believe they went above and beyond the call of duty and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to sell any property I may have. They are definitely well in touch with all of the properties at Heritage Pointe. Thanks again.

Don and the Sotheby's team provided exceptional service from the moment the listing agreement was signed, through to completion. The online marketing materials were first class and were an integral part of the property sale during the COVID-19 pandemic. Don provided a high level of communication throughout the listing and sale process. He's a proactive problem solver, has a sharp business mind and he is a pleasure to do business with.

Don and his wife Marianna Blocka have assisted us when we were moving from Toronto to Calgary Alberta, it is very difficult organizing details long distance and they both went above and beyond the call of duty and we so appreciate their assistance and attention to detail. There were so many logistics to work out and somehow they did everything without any issues or problems, plus we got the home of our dreams and it was exactly what we wanted at a very very fair price. Their advice for negotiation worked out perfectly and we now have the home of our dreams for a very fair price. Right now I am finally sitting in the house on a gorgeous Hill called nose Hill Park with a view of the Rocky Mountains and the Calgary ski jump from the 1988 Olympics and the moving truck has finally left us in peace and we are so happy to be here, Don and Marianna fixed every small detail and assisted us in always necessary to make all of this happen and we will always be appreciating it. Feel free to call for more details

Oh also, as an addition to the testimonial please add a PS, I have never heard of a real estate agent literally buying housewarming gifts for their new home owners but somehow Don and Marianna once again went above and beyond the call of duty and they brought us some stunning kitchenware special skillets, quality like I have never seen before, it was totally unexpected and what a lovely additional touch. I know we will be thanking them for years to come when we use these amazing products that was very very sweet and thoughtful, thank you again

I have known Marianna for a number of years and when I decided that it was time to sell my home I turned to her for advice. She is very knowledgeable about this community and has been so positive during the whole process - keeping me positive as well. She has handled the selling of my home seamlessly and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Any questions or concerns that I had have been immediately looked after and she kept in touch with me throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Marianna to anyone who may be wanting to sell their home. She is a true professional.

Don and Marianna were very enjoyable to work with in working through the sale of our home. Don and Marianna provided Marcy and I some wonderful tips and advice in their review of our home in preparing to market and take pictures of the home. They were extremely professional and represented Sothebys very well.The experience of both Don and Marianna really showed particularly as we started to get interest in the home. In navigating the offers and the closing of the home Don was steadfast in his comittment to the sale process and the removal of conditions moving towards a firm sale.Marcy and I would highly recommend both Don and Marianna to our friends. We very much enjoyed working with Sothebys and we received many compliments on the marketing of the home. We look forward to working with Sothebys and Don and Marianna againKind regardsDean and Marcy Samaska

This is the second time that Marianna Kindrachuk and Don Blocka have sold a home for us. We were delighted with their service the first time around and did not hesitate to list with them this time. They are wonderful to work with, very caring and completely professional. We recommend them highly. 10 out of 10 ⭐

The thought of selling my beautiful cabin property this past spring created huge stress and anxiety in me. Then I was put in contact with Don and Marianna. Upon meeting them I was instantly at ease. Their genuine care and professionalism took all my worries away. I knew I was in good hands. They not only did the things one would expect from a realtor, they went above and beyond. Their marketing strategy and innovative bidding process enabled me to sell my home in a record one month, and get the exact price I wanted for it. I couldn’t be more ecstatic! It was an absolute pleasure working with Don and Marianna. They made selling my lake house carefree and simple and for that I am supremely grateful.
I would not hesitate at all in recommending this incredible couple if you are thinking of selling your home. I would rate them a 5/5!!
