The property was listed for a little over one month and we were able to sell during this downturned economy! This was a great jump start the market and slowly get the numbers back to neutral. As for the realtor...
Michael is a great individual to work with. His work ethic and business skills really shined while selling my property. The tools he utilizes to make the place brighter and really showcase the property were second-to-none ie. cleaning the property, photography and marketing tools. Although he recently obtained his license - the natural talent is strong with this one.
Overall his ability and constant updates on progress that he brought to the table was outstanding - and believe it or not - but I am and will be using him again!

I contacted Michael about one of his listings and we had a long discussion about what I was looking for. A few weeks later he found us a property that matched perfectly! Michael helped us navigate the steps of the buying process and made it very easy. He’s positively knowledgeable, professional and friendly, an absolutely reliable realtor who is a pleasure to work with.

I was recommended Michael Ferianec from a friend. I had already spoken with a couple of agents that I really did not connect with. I live outside of Canada so it was important to me that my selling agent would be able to handle all aspects of the sale. He helped me with absolutely all steps of the sale, also his administrative and marketing team were great. I thought he was practical in the listing price and ended up getting me a decent offer. His negotiation skills are excellent. The video and presentation of my property on line was really good. He was always available when I had questions and when we were in the offer stage he was really motivated to get us to the close. I really cannot say enough good things about Michael and his team. Absolutely highly recommended for his professional skills, great communicator and totally reliable. I really cannot find one fault in the selling process of my condo. Highly recommended. *****

Michael was always available, making excellent use of our time and ensuring that every moment spent was productive and focused. His strong negotiation skills and unwavering commitment to staying within our budget were truly impressive. I would hire Michael again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch Realtor. He truly is the best!

Michael was our realtor when selling our first home in Signal Hill, as well as buying our new home in West Springs. He was incredibly knowledgable of the neighbourhood, but also, where his value really shines, is understanding the value of the investment we were making and guiding us to making a great buying decision that will serve us long-term both in terms of livability and the overall investment we made.
In selling our home, Mike and his team took beautiful photos, provided great feedback on what we needed to do in preparation to sell, and marketed the home to get the maximal value out of our home. When it came to offers and negotiation, we had full trust in Michael and he did not let us down. I will continue to use Michael for anything real-estate related in the future.
As an additional note, and possibly equally important, Mike is a really nice, friendly, and overall great guy. When spending time with an agent, viewing properties, selling your home, etc, it's important that you like the person you work with, and he is instantly likeable.

Michael is great to work with. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of hiring Michael to represent me. I think he is 10/10. We had a couple of unique factors to navigate with the sale of my rental property that seemed daunting at first, but Michael was the best person to have in my corner. Michael is calm, cool and considerate. He knows how to play the game and get results. He will have your back and make a job with lots of moving parts look effortless. Thanks Michael.

Michael made buying my first home a very positive experience. I was very “green” to the entire process and Michael walked me through every step. He listened to what I was looking for, asked great questions to seek a deeper understanding and spent a great deal of time sifting through listings to make sure they reflected my needs. He was patient, supportive and Knowledgable. He was easy to communicate with, responded promptly and was available to view potential places with little notice. I valued his strong negotiation skills and the way he advocated on my behalf. Michael went above and beyond to make sure I was settled in my new home and I appreciate everything he did. I would not hesitate to use him again and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, friendly, Knowledgable and effective realtor.

Trent Praski

My Fiancé and I bought our house with Michael in 2021. He went above and beyond, starting with asking us what our future looked like in our home and then guiding us through our home buying journey. We were nervous to make such a life-changing purchase (first time buyers) but Michael was great at putting our minds at ease.
He’s also a great negotiator. In an upward swinging market we still managed to get below market because of his knowledge of the neighborhood and the intricacies of the offer process.
We will use Michael again!
Brad Williamson
September 7, 2022
Michael helped us buy our house years ago and we were very happy with his exemplary service. We chose him again for the sale of our house in July and once again, he went the extra mile by volunteering to help clear out some of our stuff as we were going through a tough time due to the passing of our father. We cannot recommend Michael highly enough. We will always be thankful and grateful for his extraordinary service and for everything he has done for us.

Michael has sold my condo, but also sold us the infill we are living in now. He has been very helpful and knowledgeable, but especially patient, understanding and flexible with our many questions, and change-of-plans. He is never too busy to take a phone call, follow up or check in and is always super quick to respond. He has also taken the time to give us the real feedback we needed to make decisions with our best interests in mind.
Jessica Little

Michael is a very professional and experienced real estate agent who has an excellent understanding of the infill market and provides great services for his clients. His professionalism has been demonstrated in successfully selling our two new infill townhouse units in Bankview recently under a buyer’s market. During the whole process of selling the units, from suggesting reasonable listing prices to managing show homes and negotiations with buyers, he consistently demonstrated patience, respecting our opinions and requirements, facilitating communication between us and potential buyers. We are very satisfied with his service and highly recommend him as an agent if you are a homeowner or developer who is looking to sell properties in the inner city or elsewhere in Calgary.

Michael was our realtor in both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. He was professional through the entire process and helped to educate us in our options and provided valuable guidance during the negotiation process. In particular, Michael was patient and reassuring in what ended up being a challenging sales process of our old home.

The asbestos testing was a complexity we weren’t prepared for and he made it easy to understand. He had great instincts on the sellers thought process and gave us super advice throughout. So happy to have him on our side. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a skilled realtor.

Michael is a wonderful real estate agent to work with, being extremely knowledgeable, patient, and always had our best interests in mind. He took the time to narrow down our criteria by showing us a wide variety of different properties and enabled a very open discussion on what made the most sense for us. Michael is extremely skilled at negotiations and was fully prepared with a solid game plan, which led us to score our perfect home. Even after possession, we would Michael to be very detailed oriented when it came to helping with the walk throughs and asking our builder the right questions. We would definitely hope to work with Michael again in the future, and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a home in inner city!

I went to Michael with a very challenging assignment. I owned my condo and purchased a new home and was in a very tight time crunch to sell the condo. When I first met with Michael I was extremely impressed by his market knowledge, communication skills and professionalism. Once the listing agreement was signed, I was amazed by how quickly Michael and his team were able to get the ball in motion. Within 30 days, Michael was able to generate 2 offers and we were able to sell the condo within days of taking possession of our new home.
I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for real estate help!! He is my first call the next time I need to buy or sell!!!

We had the pleasure working with Michael in a recent purchase of a family home. We are pleased with his insight and expertise in overseeing the transaction where there's multiple competing offers in a short negotiation window. He provided invaluable assistance, care and attention over the entire buying process, from viewings to contract, to closing.

After multiple attempts at selling my condos, one regret is not finding Michael earlier.
Few notable traits he possess:
- Professionalism - Michael understands how emotional buying or selling a property can get, not only does he show complete respect to your opinions, he finds innovative ways to accommodate and make the best of the situation at all times
- Communication - Frequent, clear and consistent communication, whether if it's a quick call to confirm something small, an update on any new matters, or just a check-up
- Negotiation - Instead of asking you how you'd like to counter like some realtors do, he makes sure to ask what you'd like at the end, the work his way backwards to derive a reasonable asking price, with strong negotiations to follow, both properties sold for less than $10k difference from asking
- THE EXTRA MILE - After having dealt with multiple realtors, this is the part that stuck out the most; Michael is unafraid to go the extra mile, for example 1. hired a cleaner to ensure property is more presentable 2. requested for the condo management to remove a wasp nest 3. dropping off a gift just to show his appreciation of your business, even after you rejected
Where he lacked (knowledge of the area), he's not afraid to put in the work for research.
Overall, this is THE MOST IMPRESSIVE experience I've personally had when it comes to real estate agents. And due to the astonishing service, he's now received the listing of another property, well deserved.

Michael was very helpful and accommodating in showing houses to us, and was very thorough in his reviews of houses when we would ask him for input. He was not pushy and let us make our own decisions in our own timing. It was a great pleasure to deal with him. We would not only strongly recommend him, we will also use him again when we look to purchase our next property.

Michael was great to work with and help us find the perfect house. We had a pretty short time frame to settle on a house. Micheal was available every single time we needed him, even when we wanted to see a house last minute. I would reccomend him to anyone I know buying a house, hands down.

Michael Ferianec did a fantastic job helping us to prepare our home for the market, and selling our home. We had a conditional sale within a week, but he kept on it, showing our home to have a pool of interested buyers if the sale fell through - which it did. And within a week it was conditionally sold again. Michael helped us through the negotiations and got our house sold! We are so grateful to Michael for his hard work, especially as the pandemic was unfolding and he got our house sold before things were forced to shut down! I would definitely recommend Michael and his team to anyone in the market to buy or sell their home!

Michael and his team were truly a pleasure to work with. From the beginning I felt I was in good hands in the selling of my condo.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a house and hired Mike as our realtor. He was patient and informative the whole time. He listened to every single thing we were looking for in a house and found us the perfect house with everything we were looking for. He was attentive and answered every question we had quickly throughout the process. He also introduced us to the portal which sent us new listings every day! This made it much easier for us while my boyfriend was out of town at work. We had a budget we didn’t want to exceed and Mike also made that achievable! We were both more than happy with the service from Mike and would recommend him to anyone in the market!

We can’t begin to say enough positive things about our experience working with Michael Ferianec and the Urban Upgrade Team. We are moving to Calgary from out of province and Michael’s knowledge of the Calgary market, together with the informational tools with which we were provided, were invaluable in helping us to narrow down our search to the areas and properties that would best suit our needs. Michael is professional and attentive and took the time to research and answer any questions that we had regarding the many properties that we looked at during our search. We never felt rushed or pressured and appreciated Michael’s professionalism and insight into helping us to find the property that was perfect for us. Michael was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to be available for us, to negotiate on our behalf, and to guide us through the process. All in all it has been a pleasure working with Michael as our realtor and we would highly recommend him and Urban Upgrade to anyone in need of realty services.

My wife and I just recently retired and were preparing to move to Calgary. We had very specific requirements: a smaller house with an oversized double garage (not always an easy find), preferably in the NW. As we were from out of town, we hoped to have an offer accepted within a week. Michael Ferianec and Frances Dares worked very hard everyday and the objective was achieved after we saw just about everything on the market that could potentially met our needs! Micheal also communicated with our lawyer very effectively and provided relevant information and judicious opinions about the whole moving experience to Calgary. Having previously bought and sold three houses, my wife and I can unequivocally say this was definitely our best house acquisition experience. Urban Upgrade Inc. knows how to take care of business and we will rely on them to sell our current house when the time comes.

Sylvia Kowalewski
December 27, 2019
I liked the fact that Michael never tried to sell me on his services ... I met him 3 years prior to doing business with him and I asked him to please let me know when units in my complex went on the market, at what price and the actual selling price when they sold. I promised him then that he would eventually sell my townhouse when I was ready.
In September I was finally ready and in exactly 8 weeks he sold the house during a very slow market. I trusted him implicitly. He gave me great advice and all the stats of what was happening in my sector of the market and he inspired me to be patient. I always felt we were a team. He’s genuine and exceptionally kind and talented at what he does. I recommend him unconditionally!
Bonnie Baxter

Choosing Michael as our realtor was our best decision in home buying. Not only is he very easy to get along with, but he is honest and thorough and we found the market evaluations he provided us to be invaluable. We looked at numerous homes before we found our match, and Michael was incredibly patient and dedicated throughout the entire process, knowing our dream home was out there, and doing whatever he could to help us find it. Michael was very flexible and always made himself available to us, throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an incredible realtor who goes above and beyond, we can’t recommend Michael enough!

Sam Bradbury

Michael was great right from the start. Although he possessed the obvious qualities of a great realtor (market knowledge, people skills, great negotiator) etc, it has been the little things that have put him above the rest. There was no question too simple, no request too large or small, and no detail overlooked. I have no doubt that a fair amount of the things that Michael did for us were far beyond the requirements of a realtor, but he did them anyways and for that we will always be grateful.
Trevor Mailey
October 13, 2019
Michael has been fantastic through the whole process of the sale of my condo. My wife and I both enjoyed his insights into the housing market, his advice on listing price and staging advice. Even after the sale, he is going above and beyond and is negotiating with the buyers on selling the furniture in the condo. We have also been working with Michael to find our dream home and look forward to finding one with his help.

I could not more highly recommend Michael. He is a consummate professional, incredibly patient and always puts his clients best interests first, even sometimes to his own detriment. I can’t think of what else you would want in a realtor. He has a great future in this field ahead of him and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him over and over.
Kristin Anderson

Michael was the best realtor we’ve ever dealt with. He was very knowledgeable about the market place, as we were new to Calgary. I really liked the market evaluation they did when we were interested in buying a property. He had an endless list of tradesmen available to inspect property issues when a house interested us. He was always available for our calls. Excellent service

As a first time home buyer doing things alone- I had no idea what I was doing. I really leaned on Michael during the entire process and he went above and beyond. He was able to walk me through everything without making me feel self-conscious about my millions of questions! Michael was easy to get a hold of and flexible to my schedule. He was responsive to my questions and concerns and took the time to really understand what I was looking for in a home and helped me to find it. When it came time to offer and negotiate I put my full trust in him and he delivered- getting me a great price on my first home. I highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again in the future!

Michael was so professional and was supportive through the whole selling process. He always had excellent advice to make selling our home easy.

The difference in service was so obvious and I would recommend Micheal to anyone that needs a great realtor!!!!

It was a pleasure working with the Urban Upgrade team and Michael. I was looking for a specific type of property and Michael was incredibly patient, taking the time to show me a variety of homes and neighbourhoods before narrowing it down to the right one. His insights on the Calgary real estate market were quite useful and led me to purchase a home I am very happy with. Michael was always professional and looked out for my best interests. I would recommend him and the team to any new buyer.

Top Notch Service. Mike located the exact property I was looking for and was very efficient and catered to all my needs. Also very professional and thorough. 10/10 would recommend to family/friends.

Scale does not go high enough to demonstrate the satisfaction we received working with Michael.
He put in many hours finding us our house and then just as much selling our house - we were very specific. Through the entire process he was able to keep us calm and focused on our end goal.
His knowledge of industry trends and the calgary marketplace proved invaluable in our deal.
What we remember the most about our time with Michael was when pictures were being taken for our old house we could not be at home to ensure our mini schnauzer was out of the way. Michael arrived early at the house to play with him and then stayed a little after the pictures to make sure he was comfortable.
On days that Micahel was not available for us we used other members of his team which all showed the same level of caring and understanding. Would recommend them all
Happy to say Michael is a good friend now and will be our choice when we look at upgrading again.

We worked with Michael to sell our condo. Michael was very professional, accommodating and most of all trustworthy. He gave us good advice on how to make our condo more presentable to buyers, such as professional carpet cleaning and carpet stretching which saved us money as we were going to replace the carpet. We were impressed with the photographer photos which made the condo look beautiful. Michael was always accessible as we were dealing with him long distance. We would without a doubt reach out to Michael again for our real estate needs and would not hesitate to recommend him when buying or selling a home. Thank you Michael!!

Micheal was so great to work with. He was easy going and professional at all times, and we always felt confident that he'd take care of the necessary details and communicate them back to us. He continually went above and beyond our expectations... for example, crafting and hand-delivering letters to homes we were targeting in our search, to help us find us the perfect place. He also left toys for each of our two kids as a welcome gift to make them feel comfortable as possible in our new house, which they were very excited about. We would use Micheal again and would definitely recommend him to friends & family!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Frances Dares, Thomas Ferianec and Michael Ferianec for over three years. I affectionately refer to them as my housing gurus! Michael and Frances represented me as a first time homebuyer, and they were available from start to finish. They always had my best interest at heart and I never doubted I was in good hands. Thanks to them I found a real gem and had fun doing it! It was my top choice and I was all moved in within a month of putting an offer down. I feel like I won the realtor lottery. The whole UrbanUpgrade team is highly recommended; they are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, easy to approach, and available whenever you need them. Thanks Team!

Michael made this process as easy as one could hope for. I had many questions and requested numerous statistics etc, he was able to answer and provide detailed responses that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!

We worked with Michael Ferianec to buy our town home in the summer of 2016. Michael was wonderful and easy to work with and helped us narrow our scope to find exactly what we were looking for. We especially appreciated his knowledge of homes, market trends, builders, upcoming projects and overall inventory in SW Calgary. Michael was patient and flexible with our busy work schedules; available to meet us at a moment’s notice. On all occasions, Michael was able to share his knowledge or find the information we needed to feel confident about making an investment in our new home.

The property was listed for a little over one month and we were able to sell during this downturned economy! This was a great jump start the market and slowly get the numbers back to neutral. As for the realtor...
Michael is a great individual to work with. His work ethic and business skills really shined while selling my property. The tools he utilizes to make the place brighter and really showcase the property were second-to-none ie. cleaning the property, photography and marketing tools. Although he recently obtained his license - the natural talent is strong with this one.
Overall his ability and constant updates on progress that he brought to the table was outstanding - and believe it or not - but I am and will be using him again!

I contacted Michael about one of his listings and we had a long discussion about what I was looking for. A few weeks later he found us a property that matched perfectly! Michael helped us navigate the steps of the buying process and made it very easy. He’s positively knowledgeable, professional and friendly, an absolutely reliable realtor who is a pleasure to work with.
