Gogna grew up immersed in real estate with two parents who worked in the field before him. During his studies at the University of Toronto, he decided to pursue a career in the field himself and began working as a sales manager at his family brokerage, overseeing a team of over 100 agents. After beginning in real estate, Gogna took an interest in the many condominiums he saw popping up around the GTA and began to study the market
I was always intrigued by condominiums. I began intently researching the history of condominiums in major urban cities across the globe and monitoring the markets in the GTA and surrounding areas. At that time, every media outlet was convinced Toronto was building too many condos and the condo bubble would pop any day in the late 2000s,” Gogna remembered. Despite the nay-sayers, Gogna found much success for himself and his clients in condos. “As I continued to advocate for condominium ownership, my network of purchasers continued to build wealth
In 2017, Gogna along with his wife Jasneet founded Condoville. The company draws on their teams decades of experience working with buyers, sellers, builders and developers in the condominium field. Thanks to deep connections within the industry, Gogna’s clients at Condoville are able to gain insights into every step of the development process, from planning to building, which can help them to better plan their purchases and make smarter investments.
Since we started Condoville, our objective in the marketplace has always focused on offering real estate opportunities to people of all walks of life. Whether you are a first-time purchaser or seasoned investor, we strive to offer high-growth real estate that beats market averages. We are continuing to push the boundaries geographically to advise city residents that high-growth opportunities are outside of the city core. As we continue to assist with the design of developments and focus on affordable entry price points, we hope to make real estate ownership a reality for all generations, which sounds impossible to many Millenials and Gen-Zs

]]>Verzyl first got his real estate license in 1997 and quickly found himself working for small, medium, and large builders selling new homes as well as taking part in the management and executive roles. Being an investor himself and recognizing an opportunity to share his industry knowledge to help others invest, Verzyl moved towards working as an investment real estate agent in 2014.
In his own words: “I am an investor myself, and I noticed when working with the investors in the new home business, especially the ones that were just starting out, they didnot really have a guide and someone to help them get their start.”
As an agent, Verzyl has a lot of sales experience in the fields of pre-construction, new home development and investments. Beyond his work as a salesperson, Verzyl has also been a speaker and trainer for other agents and investors, and operates a youtube channel, sharing his investment wisdom with others.
One area that Verzyl has excelled in is promoting his city to buyers from around the country. Speaking of one of his most proud career accomplishments, Verzyl remembers a time when a large developer with whom he was working was having trouble moving units in a downtown building. Verzyl realized they may be chasing the wrong audience, and convinced them to launch the building to Toronto investors. What followed was one of the fastest sales they had seen and something of a precursor to the phenomenon Verzyl now refers to as ‘The Great Migration’ of Canadian investors and residents towards Calgary.
Already, Verzyl says, 2022 has exceeded all his expectations, both in his personal business and in the Calgary market. In January alone, Veryl and his team had already made over 300 sales, and they continue to see a heightened interest in Calgary from investors across the country. Despite the shifting pace seen in other markets, Verzyl is confident in the outlook for the future of Calgary and its real estate market.
Verzyl and his team are open to working with all kinds of investors, be they new or established, local or remote. His approach to clients is a holistic one, with a focus on long-term success over short-term profits. Reach out to Mark Verzyl today to learn how he can help you invest in Calgary real estate.

]]>Phipps first began her career in real estate in 2008, though she had a connection to the housing industry prior through her family’s work in construction. After purchasing her first property in her early 20s, Phipps began to grow an interest in real estate and particularly the power of investment real estate, which drives her passion in the industry to this day.
Investing has always been the backbone of what is sparked my interest and my love of real estate and still is to this day. We look at everything we do in real estate, be it a primary home or an additional property as an investment, and the bulk of our clients are real estate investors./p>
Working with investors, it comes down to numbers and strategic decisions. I’m a very analytical person so it’s something that works well in my brain. What I really love about the real estate investment game is putting it all together: finding the deals, running the numbers, and thinking about the strategy. To top that all off, we get to help people take control of their financial futures through real estate investing./p>
Having been part of the Calgary market for years, Phipps has seen her share of ups and downs. That translates to a wealth of knowledge on the local markets that Phipps strives to share with her clients to help them make the best investments for their money.
Despite changing conditions nationally, Phipps sees a lot of opportunity for investors in Calgary, particularly due to exciting new diversification being seen in the local economy and the influx of new residents being drawn to the city from all around the country.
We are very proud to have a strong foothold in our local marketplace, but this year we’ve been seeing even more out-of-province investors. We’re eager to work with people from out of town and are set up to help them from start to finish in their buying process. That is definitely a specialty for us: accommodating out-of-town investors and assisting with everything from purchasing, all the way to closing and even property management which we can do in-house.
Beyond just helping clients to buy and sell, Phipps emphasizes their fully hands-on approach to helping clients succeed in their investment endeavors. “One thing that really makes us unique is we do a lot of training and educating, and that is all complimentary when you are a client of ours. We do things like monthly investor socials, where we bring in speakers to talk about an educational topic that is important for real estate investors to know. Additionally, we offer free planning sessions, monthly updates and a private Facebook Group with over 2000 investors with an interest in the Calgary market.”
But most importantly, for the individual, every client starts off with a strategic meeting where we talk specifically about them. We meet them where they are at, whether they are brand new or have an established portfolio, and see how we can add to their experience. If they are new to the marketplace, then we want to spend the time making sure they are properly prepared and not rushing into the market prior to making a plan. We spend a lot of time upfront making sure that they are set up for success in the long run, and we really strive for long-term relationships with our clients.”

]]>Hazzi got his start in real estate 20 years ago, getting his real estate license at just 19. After some experience working in the field, he went on to found his own brokerage in 2008, just before the financial crisis of that year. Despite the challenges this timing presented, Hazzi says it would ultimately lead Vantage West to where they are today, as a firm that focuses primarily on working with real estate investors..
Just as I opened my doors, we went into a global financial crisis. It felt like a curse but in the end, it became a blessing because it forced us to really reimagine what it meant to be a real estate professional,” said Hazzi. “We ended up moving away from the tired salesmans approach and incorporated a consultants approach. I gravitated towards real estate investors, as I was one myself. It was a wise pivot at that time, given that most people were scared except investors who were looking for deals”.
On what makes him and his team unique, Hazzi highlights firstly the full-service aspect of their business. Clients will be guided from A to Z, all the way from financing, acquisition, property management and more. Another thing they pride themselves on is strong negotiation skills that allow them to cut the best deals for their clients.
We are all students of negotiation and we are constantly upgrading our skills in that department. We are kind of old school in that we do not rely on DocuSign and text messages like the majority of Realtors these days, we still sit down face to face with homeowners to negotiate on our clients behalf the way it was done back when contracts were made out of carbon copies.
So far, Hazzi says 2022 has exceeded expectations for him and his team. Though a shifting market may make others fearful, Hazzi experience working through previous downturns has him confident in his teams ability to thrive in a shifting market. With a solid foundation of tools and practices in place, Vantage West intends to use what they have learned to face the shift head-on and help their clients make the most of the opportunities it may present
We truly believe that it is in the shifting markets that opportunity lies and millionaires are made. Instead of seeing it as a potential threat, we see it as an opportunity – mindful of the risks, of course – but optimistic about the opportunity that it presents, if you know how to navigate it.
