Why Rob?

I firmly believe in your right to a fully informed, comfortable, positive and communicative real estate transaction. Here is what some of my clients have had to say about their experiences:

“It was time to sell my parent's house.  We had never sold a house before, so when a friend raved about Rob and their wonderful experience with him, he was the first and only realtor we contacted.  From the first meeting, Rob's easy going, friendly, honest, kind and compassionate personality won us over immediately.  Rob gave us his professional advice weighing the pros and cons to make wise decisions.  When or if we ever need a realtor in the future, Rob will be our guy!”

Caralee Schmidt

“Moving from the city into our dream home in the country came with a lot of challenges, but Rob was there every step of the way. From answering endless questions and offering his exceptional knowledge and guidance, his constant support made the entire process feel easy. We could not be happier with our new home and could not have asked for a better realtor to represent us. Thanks again Rob for helping us make our dream a reality!”

Shelly Van Schaik

“What we really loved was your tailored approach.  We’re sure every sale is unique and ours the same. Dealing with multiple people in this kept you hopping. Honesty, suggestions, advice for issues, your experience shone through. We’re grateful for your advice every step of the process.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Rob DeJong for the sale of my home and I can't recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, it was clear that he truly cared about my needs and was willing to put in the time and research to ensure I was working with current market data. This helped me make well informed decisions and I was able to get more than I initially expected in the sale. He took the time to explain every step of the selling process and was very patient with my questions. No question was too small, and he always responded promptly to my inquiries. If you're looking for a realtor who is dedicated, communicative, and truly has your best interests at heart, Rob DeJong is your guy!”

Miriam GS

“Rob made a daunting process very easy for us. Selling our home went very smoothly, and Rob is a guy we could trust 100%. He explained the whole process so that we could understand it, and was always only a phone call away. Thanks Rob!”

Caleb and Jocelyn

“Working with Rob was an exceptional experience. From the moment we started our home search, Rob was incredibly accommodating and informative, guiding us through every step with patience and expertise. He genuinely cared about our success in finding our first home, which made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. Rob took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and his dedication to ensuring we found the right home was evident in every interaction. His knowledge and commitment to our home-buying journey made all the difference. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to help us navigate this important milestone. Thanks to Rob, our journey to homeownership was as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor!”

Kyle and Emma Stiksma

“When we first started looking to purchase our first home after renting for many years, we weren't really sure where to start. We knew of Rob through several friends who had purchased or sold homes with his help, so we reached out to see if he would be willing to answer some of our questions. He met with us on a very warm summer afternoon, and answered all our questions, and provided all kinds of helpful information. The best part was that we never felt any pressure from him. He would occasionally check in and see where we were at and how we were doing, but there was never any push to "start looking to buy right now". When we finally decided to start looking seriously, he was quick to respond to all of our questions, to set up viewings, and it was clear that we were in good hands. He always checked into a property first before we even went to view, and knew some of the background and history that might be red flags for purchasing (which was good, since many of the properties we were looking at were outside the city by a fair distance). Over the course of about 7 months, we looked at a few very unique (in good ways and bad) properties, and Rob was always willing to give his professional opinion without pressuring us into a decision one way or the other. He answered messages quickly, and always ensured we were taken care of by someone else at Schmidt if he wasn't available. He helped us through the negotiation process, even when things went a little wonky, and ultimately helped us purchase our first ever home in a beautiful area that met virtually every single thing we had said we wanted at that first meeting. We are so grateful for all his help through this whole process!”

Jason and Carissa

“We had the pleasure of meeting Rob DeJong by way of a referral pertaining to our desire to sell two revenue based properties.  Upon reaching out to Rob, we received a prompt, and professional reply to our real estate needs.  We were immediately impressed with his friendly demeanor and his ability to listen to our real estate inquiries and guide us through each step of the process.   All steps were clearly articulated and communication was frequent without our having to ask.  Simply put,  Rob provided ongoing information in most professional manner leaving us with a feeling as clients that our potential questions were addressed even prior to becoming a question.   Rob DeJong is a true real estate professional who presents a sincere message to his clients that you are important, and he will do his best to reach a successful result.  This is abundantly evident in his approach to getting to know his clients as people first.  We were immediately at ease with Rob and as time progressed we continued to be impressed and fully confident in his knowledge and commitment.  We clearly are grateful to Rob and will continue to call upon Rob for our future real estate needs.”

Doug and Linda Fedechko

“We began our search under a time crunch, and Rob DeJong instilled both our trust and our confidence with his diligence, patience, and transparency throughout the whole process. Rob took the necessary time to determine our initial criteria for our search, showed us properties at times of our convenience, adjusted the search criteria several times as we refined our understanding of where we wanted to live, and gave us crucial information on the strengths and weaknesses of both various types of housing and specific areas of Edmonton and St. Albert. He was with us every step of the way.”

Jeff and Evelyn Dykstra

“My name is Mike Roberts and on behalf of Dorothy my wife, we would like to express our appreciation for the professionalism Rob Dejong handled the recent sale of our house. We are happy to provide a testament to the efficiency the process was completed and the confidence of the options to being well informed to make the right decision. I would recommend Rob to my family and friends to provide honest and trusted information regarding market evaluations and he is a great asset to his Realty company.”

Mike and Dorothy Roberts

“Working with Rob made everything a breeze, in what can normally be a very stressful situation. He went above and beyond to make things go smoothly and kept me well informed every step of the way.”

Megan Meints

“When my husband and I suddenly needed to sell our home as soon as possible, we contacted Rob and the next day he was gathering information to begin our journey. He was incredibly informative, kind, personable, honest, and clearly knew what he was doing, and what he was talking about. It made the entire experience from start to finish very easy to understand and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone looking to list their home, or purchase a home, especially those that are new to the housing market.”

Jolene and Leighton Barendregt

“Mr. Rob de Jong is a fantastic realtor, instrumental in us finding our first family home in Alberta. The housing market can be a challenge for the uninitiated, but Rob navigated us through the process with great skill. His knowledge of the local housing market combined with his accurate assessment of our needs made the whole process of narrowing down our options remarkably efficient. Rob showed great ability to hone in on the issues at hand, framing them with great clarity. This allowed us to make decisions with confidence. Rob's integrity and personal character was immediately apparent to us and all parties involved. I can wholeheartedly endorse using Rob's realtor services to any potential family home buyers in Edmonton.”

Daneel and Mariana Heyns

“Working with Rob was our first time working with a realtor and he honestly blew all our expectations out of the water. Not only did he carry himself with an extremely high level of professionalism, he also showed an incredible attention to detail with all aspects of the home buying process. It became clear very quickly that Rob was an expert in every area of realty as he guided us through the many steps in purchasing our home, making sure all our needs were met and any areas of concern got addressed promptly. Rob's ability to make one feel as though you're his only client provided a confidence that he was looking out for our very best interests throughout our entire time working together. Having only purchased a new built home prior to working with Rob, his guidance was essential in making the right decisions with regard to all the finer details and nuances that came along with buying an older home and an acreage on top of it. During the purchase/negotiations etc, Rob went well beyond his scope and making sure we got the absolute best price possible and knew exactly how best to communicate with all parties involved. We are now looking to sell our old house after taking possession of our new home and we can say with full confidence that we are in the absolute best hands moving forward. We will now immediately recommend Rob to anyone whos looking to sell or purchase a home.”

Mike & Anissa Fish

“Rob was an excellent realtor when we were looking for a property. He was attentive, patient and always followed up on any question we had. I would recommend working with Rob in a heartbeat!”

Louise Mason

“It was a pleasure working with Rob. Our apartment had offers within just 2 days of advertisement. This does not happen automatically but due to prior advice/appraisal from Rob who has a very good knowledge of the local market. Being a non-resident of Canada, we rely on him on all matters relating to the sale including recommending the lawyer and accountant both parties of which have satisfactorily closed the sale with timeline met. Rob is always proactive and at the centre of the action collaborating with all parties (property management company, lawyer, accountant, the buyers and their representatives), guiding us through the whole process and updating us. Apart from providing excellent services, he also come across as a very nice and trustworthy person. We highly recommend Rob.”

Jenny and Kok      

“Right from the beginning, Rob's professionalism showed through.  His market evaluation was detailed and thorough.  When we looked at the staging of the house for showings, he had solutions to any issues I had.  One of those solutions was a free to me visit from a staging consultant and it was a positive experience.  I was very pleased with his advice during negotiations for both my sale and my purchase.  He comes at you from a place of calmness and experience. He is a great communicator as well, both verbally and by email, and helped me keep on track with things that needed to be done and what the next steps would be. My only regret is that I didn't use him when I tried to sell my house the year before.”

Rob Laforce

“Our family moved to the Edmonton area from Ontario, but had been debating it for about a year prior to that. We had quite a few conversations with Rob for about a whole year leading up to our move. We were quite scatterbrained at first about which area to move to and what style of house/property. Rob patiently walked us through different communities, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. He set up search criteria, and we received notifications for any listing that matched our criteria, and we were able to create a list that piqued our interest. Eventually our family came to Edmonton for a whirlwind house tour, and Rob dedicated several days driving us from house to house. Some were quickly eliminated, and eventually we decided, and placed an offer. During the short time we were here Rob managed to get everything finalized including a home inspection on short notice!

Rob's patience, calm demeanour, and gentle steering helped us to purchase a house that works for our whole family."

Alex and Rachel Sikkema

“This was our second time using Rob's services (this time for a home sale and purchase) and we couldn't be happier. Rob was looking out for us every step of the way, ensuring we understood all our options. He was very attentive to our needs, walking us through every step of the process. He didn't hesitate when we had last minute requests or when we needed to change plans at a moment's notice. It feels rare to find a realtor who is focused on doing what's best for the client over what's best to make a quick sale, and we are very happy that Rob had our backs and went above and beyond once again."

Thomas & Elizabeth Bidell

“I had bought and sold a home before with someone else and it was ok. My partner had worked with Rob before and insisted we did for our home purchase. I agreed and am so glad I did. Rob was insightful, kind, honest, patient, and through. One of the best things about working with Rob is that he is an excellent communicator and truly listens. Having had someone with all of these attributes assist in our home purchase made this process easier and ensured that nothing, no matter how small, got missed. We won’t be using anyone else for our home buying needs. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Rob!!”

 Michelle & Paul

“I thought that selling my Condo property in Alberta would be difficult with me being in Burlington Ontario; however you made the listing and sale proceed efficiently and smoothly with good results. Thanks for your coordination with the site property manager and keeping me posted every step of the way. It was handled very professionally. A job well done. Thanks again for your professional help.”

Jere

“I was introduced to Rob through a property manager and was impressed with his market knowledge, prompt and professional communication, and general helpfulness.  Even though I am not an Edmonton resident, Rob made it easy for me to sell my Spruce Grove condo by doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me.  I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Rob to anyone looking to buy/sell in the Edmonton area.”

Vik Saini

“Rob DeJong helped us purchase our first house and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Rob took the time to answer all our questions about the home buying process, and demonstrated throughout our search for a house that he always had our best interests in mind. He was professional and very thorough and provided us with all the information we needed to make a decision that was best for us. When the time came to waive conditions, we were confident that we were buying a house that would suit us well.
Thanks again Rob for all your help! We will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know looking for a realtor.”

Noah and Rebecca

“Our realtor Rob was extremely helpful and responsive when we tried to buy a house in Edmonton from BC. Although we were purchasing a house from a different province, he made sure that the whole process was seamless with attention to detail. Rob is a trustworthy person who provides his clients with honest advice after conducting thorough research. I would highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying a house in Edmonton!”

Yoomi

“Rob was very professional to work with and very personable.  He identified several items we hadn’t thought of that saved us money now and potentially in the future.  We were in a multi-bid situation and coached us through ways to get our offer accepted other than just offering more cash that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own.  We look forward to working with Rob again in the upcoming weeks as he lists our previous home.”

Andy and Henrietta Wildeman

“Rob has been an outstanding realtor who provided exactly the care and attention I needed during my first home purchase. His sound advice and guidance were invaluable, and I greatly appreciate that he never pressured me one way or another. With Rob's help, I found a great first home and couldn't be happier with the experience.”

Heidi Visser

“I recently sold my house and purchased a condo with the expert assistance of Rob DeJong and the group from Schmidt Realty. The entire process: including staging, pictures, showings, offers, etc., was clearly explained and executed. Rob was a major blessing to me. He is very knowledgeable and supportive which allowed me to make sound decisions. He is a skilled communicator and provided ongoing guidance and information as necessary throughout the experience. Rob worked closely with my broker and other members of my personal support team. He also supported and guided the realtor who was working with my house buyers! I would not hesitate to recommend Rob and the Schmidt Realty Group to anyone needing to buy or sell a home.”

Jo-Anne Henson

“Rob was always calm and polite, but also straightforward. He did not "sugar-coat" anything. He advised us on what to do to the house, for us to get the best possible price. He also advised us on the final pricing strategy, balancing obtaining the best possible price with selling it relatively quick. He was diligent in the negotiations with prospective buyers. Rob provided exceptional services from the moment we first reached out to him, all the way to the house sale.”

Francisco and Mariangela Alhanati

“It was a pleasure to work with Schmidt Realty Group and especially Rob DeJong, our realtor. He gave us a level of confidence and trust throughout the experience. Rob was quick, efficient and true to his word. When he said he would do something, it always happened. Through his advice we were able to quickly come to resolution on a number of items which resulted in a conclusion satisfying all sides. If you are thinking about selling your place I would highly recommend Rob to be your realtor.  He was superb!!!”

Corny and Dita Meliefste

“We initially approached Rob to help us start looking for a new home.  At the time, there were not too many listings that fit our criteria.  Rob was patient and let us take our time but was there with a quick response if we had any questions.  Once we were ready to sell our home, Rob moved things along quickly while making sure the timing fit our schedules.  He sold our home in less than 8 hours and for over ask!  This was the first house we sold and we are very happy with how the entire process went.  We highly recommend working with Rob.  He is quick to respond, fun to work with and he really cares about his clients.”

David & Shelley Aasman

“Sometimes entrusting your business to someone you know personally can backfire, but in this case we had such a great experience with Rob - professional, knowledgeable, helpful in every possible way. Can't think of a thing that could have been done better.”

Henry and Loretta Baker

“Rob was excellent to work with!  We were looking for a new home in this area during a seller’s market, while living three hours away, and Rob made it as painless as possible.  He was knowledgeable about the area and the homes in it and made every effort to ensure that we saw the houses we were interested in, even doing a few video walkthroughs when we couldn't make it in person.  While making our offer, he again provided great feedback and helped us negotiate our purchase confidently.  Highly recommend Rob as an honest, down-to-earth realtor who will look out for your best interests and get things done without pressure! “

Ray and Melina Noot

“Rob DeJong assisted with the sale of my home, and the purchase of my new condo.  My experience with Rob was excellent.  He helped identify the right time to list and set an appropriate purchase price.  His recommended contacts for both staging and pictures produced exceptional results - I would highly recommend both to anyone!  My home sold quickly, with multiple offers.

 When it came time to buy, Rob was patient with my inquiries and additions to our viewing list.  I found his style of feedback during our viewings to be very helpful.  He pointed out things to consider without attempting to influence my final decision, and let me "talk through" what worked and why (and what didn't work).

 Rob's superstrength is timely communication.  He was exceptionally responsive via text and phone, which added a layer of comfort and confidence to the entire experience.  I appreciated that he set his boundaries at the outset but also ensured I felt completely taken care of.  Rob was just a wonderful person to get to work with.

 Thank you to Rob and all of Schmidt Realty!”

 Cheryl Orr

“Rob was recommended to me by my brother to buy my first home. I'm very glad I took the recommendation! Rob was very professional, and timely in answering all of my questions, and setting up viewings. I appreciated his ability to ask me about certain aspects of a home, this gave both of us a better understanding of what I wanted in a home. When it came time to put in an offer, Rob's advice on how to present the best possible offer proved to be invaluable, I got my first home on my first offer! I will definitely be recommending Rob to anyone looking for a realtor!”

JB

"We really enjoyed working with Rob while looking for our new home. Easy to work and communicate with. Made buying a home a lot less stressful and made the process easier. Would definitely use Rob again if we ever needed to buy or sell."

K + S

“Working with Rob was easy, fast and enjoyable. Rob was quick to communicate with us, with every question we might have, and to clarify details as they came up. It made selling our first home super simple, and we were happy to have worked with Rob. Rob had our best interests in mind, and gave great suggestions when we needed it. We recommend Rob whenever someone asks us about a realtor to use. Thanks for all your help, Rob!”

Peter and Heidi vanBeek

“It was a real pleasure working with Rob. We weren't initially sure if we were ready to buy, but Rob's knowledge of the current market and his genuine concern for our comfort level made the process easier. He has the unique ability to sense when a little guidance is needed and can deliver it with tact and professionalism. Rob helped us purchase a beautiful home within our very short timeline and we would highly recommend his services.”

Todd and Tammy

“With Rob on our side we felt confident and at ease throughout the whole adventure that home-buying is. He was speedily responsive and keen to share insights. When he was away for a few days he had an arrangement with a colleague who kept everything moving smoothly. After the purchase we also turned to Rob for support and info. Our experience was terrific and we highly recommend Rob's services.”

Rene and Yvonne Jacobi

“Rob DeJong was my real estate agent for my first house purchase. As a first time home-buyer, I am so happy I went with Rob. Rob clearly explained the whole process of house buying to me, and walked me through all the necessary steps to complete the purchase. He was very patient with answering all my numerous questions as I went through the experience of house buying. Rob was very quick to reply to calls or messages—unless he was in a house viewing, he would reply almost immediately. This made the process much less stressful because I knew I could reach him if I needed immediate answers or had any questions about next steps.  Rob gave me great advice on locations and the type of house I should look for. Overall Rob was an excellent real estate agent and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.”

F. W.

“We successfully bought our new home completely from out of town thanks to our incredible realtor, Rob! From our initial online meeting with Rob, we got the sense that he would go above and beyond to help us find the right home for our family. Rob was patient while we decided what we were looking for, he was honest when the market changed, knowledgeable when we asked questions, and extremely accommodating by video calling us at each showing. Rob made us feel like his only clients, often getting in to see a house the same day we asked. We recently moved in to our new home in Spruce Grove and love our new house, yard and neighborhood.”

Phil and Rebecca Noort 

“Rob's calming presence, knowledge, and expertise were exactly what we needed to help us navigate the stresses of looking for and buying a house.  He is very thorough and took the time to get to know us and could therefore fully understand what we were looking for.  In addition to his skills and experience with real estate, it was very evident that he is also an honest and ethical individual.  We were really happy with our experience with Rob and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and expert guide to the world of real estate!”

Alma Louise Visscher and Lex Grootelaar

“Working with Rob was so much fun! A realtor with a good sense of humour and who is genuinely kind and looking out for your best interests is hard to find - but that's what we found with Rob. We're so grateful to have found our long term home to grow our family in and we were only able to do that through Rob's diligence and commitment to care and excellence. If we buy again in the future, we will definitely be giving him a call!”

Jess and Daniel Brown

“Rob gave us good advice and guided us well through the listing and sales process.  Friendliest and most knowledgeable and competent realtor I have dealt with in a long time. Highly recommended.”

Francesca and Peter Davenport

"I would like to say that this realtor is a very tall guy! But he makes YOU feel important right from the start. We weren't quite ready to sell our home when we called him, but in spite of it taking 6-8 months before we were actually ready to commit to selling, he was very patient. I believe he only called twice to check in during that period - so no pressure there. He did his homework right from the start in gauging the ideal price for selling, and didn't quit there. He constantly kept reviewing his first appraisal till we were ready. He helped us to feel that we were not in any rush. Then when we started to receive offers and counter-offers, we started to panic, but he was very calm and helped us to feel non-pressured throughout the whole process by allowing us time not only to think about our decisions, but giving us the time to process them, along with options. He never once suggested we meet him. He always came to us. A job well done. I began to trust him fully to help with decisions, because he had our best interests in mind. Yes, he may be a tall fellow, but he does fill his shoes and has the patience of an individual guiding the blind, as we were. We cannot thank him enough for his help throughout the whole process of selling. Definitely a great guy to have on your side."

Rod and Donna Newbery

“Rob helped us buy our first home this year and we are so thankful for all his work. He made sure we understood the process well before we got started and took a lot of time to get to know us and what we were looking for. He helped us find the perfect home! He was always quick to reply to any questions and went above and beyond in helping us get quotes and everything else we needed.  We will surely be recommending him to friends and family. Thanks Rob!”

Dan and Bridgette Huizing

“Rob was awesome to work with to sell our house and buy our new home! He prepared us for our first selling experience and gave us all the tips we needed to sell quickly and competitively. It definitely worked because we had multiple offers in less than 24 hours, a couple over asking!

Rob was willing to answer any questions we had with buying or selling. He was quick to respond and fun to work with! Rob had our best interest in mind and made sure we were confident and well informed about all our decisions. Thank you Rob for all your hard work! We highly recommend Rob to anyone needing a realtor!”

Eric and Darcie Duker

“When we decided to move to the Edmonton area from out of province, Rob was referred to us by a friend. We cannot say enough about Rob's professionalism and his attention to detail. He did not just want us to use him to buy a house, he wanted to help us find the right home for our family. Being from out of town had its challenges, but Rob was there every step of the way to help us purchase our home. As well, he gave us tips and pointers on how things were done here locally. We recommend Rob to anyone looking to purchase a new home, he really does have his clients best interest in mind. Thanks Rob!”

 Tom and Yvonne

“My wife and I just bought our first home with Rob DeJong. Rob first sat us down and explained how the whole process would go. He was very open and informative, he really put our nerves at ease. Next he had to help us find a house on not the largest budget but for a very large family. He worked very hard and was very flexible with his time to help us out. He also explained very well what to look for, to watch out for, and what to stay away from. We learned a lot from Rob. He helped us find a great home in a timely manner. Tomorrow we move in and couldn't be happier. I strongly encourage others to use Rob if you want an enjoyable home buying experience. Thanks Rob.”

Bryan and Susan Versteeg

“We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Rob! We received multiple offers the first week our house went on the market, thanks in large part to Rob's incredible work. Rob was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting us the best possible price for our house.

We also worked with Rob to purchase a new home. In a highly competitive market, we ended up in several "bidding wars". We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one",  Rob walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why they should accept our offer. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we have Rob to thank for that.

We always felt that Rob had our best interests in mind. He always kept us in the loop and responded to our questions and concerns in a timely manner. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to work with for our purchase and sale!”

Josh and Kristina Tiessen

“Selling our home with Rob was very smooth and went very well. He provided an excellent analysis of our home's worth, and reassured us that the pricing was right on. When our home went 'live', everything played out exactly as Rob had assured us it would, and we ended up selling above asking. Both in buying our home in the past, and selling our home recently, Rob demonstrated an excellent understanding of the market and a professionalism that was unparalleled by any other agents we had worked with in the past. If we ever need to buy or sell a home in the future, Rob will be our first call!”

Martin and Michelle Rekers

My experience with Rob Dejong started when I called the Schmidt main office and informed them I was a first time home buyer looking for a real estate agent. Within 20 minutes after that, I was contacted by Rob and we set up a meeting. At that meeting we talked about my goals, options and budget. As well as explaining the realty and home buy process. Very soon after we started looking at properties set by my budget and preferences. He was always professional and always advised me in my best interest. I was quickly ready to put in an offer and he advised me on the offer price and conditions. I am now a new home owner, even though Covid 19, and I was under budget thanks to Rob Dejong.

Caleb Hardy 

 “Rob was fantastic to work with! Very professional and organized, and he was readily available if we needed anything. He was quick to give us information and advice, but never made it overwhelming. Our house sold for above asking price after multiple offers on the first day listed! We highly recommend him.”

Stu and Wendy Los

“We were referred by a few people to use Rob on our move from BC to AB. The entire experience was relaxing, fun and went very smoothly because of Rob's constant availability and helpful nature. Thanks so much for helping us find the perfect home!”

Aidan and Sara

“Rob went the extra mile for us when we were moving from out of town. We often would only be available to look at houses on weekends or evenings. Rob made sure that he was always available on our schedule and when we needed to look at a house immediately, he would make sure that we were one of the first to see it. He was very accommodating to our situation and made sure that he had our best interest in mind by providing advice and asking us the right critical questions. Rob wasn’t just interested in getting us into a house, he wanted to make sure that we got into the right house.”

William and Stephanie

“We were very happy with the results we got from Rob at Schmidt Realty. He is friendly, professional and extremely dedicated! Rob was very accommodating, taking time to patiently answer every question we had. He was also able to offer excellent advice based on his own experience as well as draw on experience from others in the Schmidt organization. We would absolutely recommend Rob to friends and family“

Chris and Cheryl Deleeuw

“As first-time home buyers, we knew very little about what to look for and how the whole process worked. Fortunately, we couldn't have found a better guide than Rob. He was remarkably knowledgeable, available and patient with us as we worked together to find our first home, and went above and beyond to find us the place that suited us best. He was always pleasant about explaining all our options, answering our questions, and helping us avoid mistakes during the process. With many salespeople, you feel pressured to buy what they want you to buy within the timeframe that they want you to buy it in. Not with Rob. He was selfless and put our needs first, and gave us space when we needed to think about the biggest financial decision of our lives. We also appreciated that he was willing to go far outside his usual market to help us as we moved away from Edmonton.“

Thomas & Elizabeth Bidell

“Right from the start Rob had my best interest in mind. He took a lot of his own time to make sure I understood the whole process of buying a home and getting to know me along the way to make sure I would find the “right” house. I always felt confident that he had the knowledge, skills and integrity to help me make the right decisions. It was a lot of fun working with him as well! “

Tamara Wierenga

“Best. Realtor. Ever. This was our first time selling our house and we could not have asked for a better realtor than Rob! He was incredibly thorough at his job, helping us with any questions or concerns we may have had, and somehow managed to get our house into multiple offers day one - where we ended up selling well above asking price! Not only did he make selling our home so easy, but he was able to get us the acreage we fell in love with! We ended up in multiple offers on a foreclosure, and he was able to guide us through all the many steps required to get us into our dream home. We truly believe there are few realtors that could have pulled off what Rob was able too, we are so incredibly thankful for all his help, and will be recommending him to absolutely everyone looking to buy or sell their home!”

Jason and Jessica Termeer

“Rob’s knowledge and experience, paired with above and beyond service and attention to detail gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout the buying process. In unconventional circumstances he went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. We can’t recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling a home! “

Brett and Rachael Murphy

“Rob did a great job helping us pick out a beautiful place in Edmonton, despite never having seen it in person. We knew he would be a great choice even before we met with him - four different people that we asked all spoke very highly of Rob and recommended him to us. He took the time to get to know us well, and organized several house showings for us when we came from out of province. Despite the restrictions due to Covid-19, he took the time to do virtual tours for us so we could continue looking at homes even while 12 hours away. He pointed out the pros and cons of each home so that we could make well informed decisions for this huge purchase. In the end, we felt confident enough with Rob as our realtor, to purchase a home without having seen it in person! When the deal was done and possession day came, we couldn't believe how beautiful our home was, and we were so grateful that we had Rob to guide us through the process!”

Martin and Michelle

“When I began my hunt for a new home, I reached out to Rob to see if he would advise dealing directly with the builder or if I would be better off with a realtor. I’m happy to say, having Rob on my side throughout the whole process sure was the right decision. From the start, he was always on time, very organized for any meeting and returned calls/texts/emails promptly. He wasn’t scared to slow things down when the builder tried to rush things to ensure I understood every part of the process. Because of this, I had great confidence in each decision every step of the way and never second guessed the process. Rob always made himself available for the many meetings with the builder over the course of 6 months and was very involved during each walkthrough, not shying away from pointing out deficiencies for the builder to correct. It always felt that he was on my team as if he was buying the home for himself. He even took the time to follow up after possession day to ensure everything went well moving in and the builder had sent the last remaining documents. I can’t recommend Rob enough and will definitely contact him again for my next transaction!”

Myron van Dijk

“It had been over 20 years since we went through the process of purchasing a house.  Rob was recommended to us and we quickly understood why. Rob genuinely cared and he listened to us about our needs and wants.  He shared his knowledge and walked us through the negotiation process all the way to possession date. Rob displayed great professionalism and his communication skills were excellent. He was quick to respond to emails and texts and was easy to get along with. We are very excited about our purchase and would highly recommend Rob for your real estate needs.”

Tom and Monica Sikma

“As first time home buyers, Rob was incredibly helpful to have around. He was there to answer our questions and gave us all the help we needed along the way. He was very punctual with setting up appointments and showings and responded quickly to all of our emails. Rob showed houses with a clear intention to help us find a house to enjoy for a long time, and we did! He helped us sort out pros and cons of certain houses and gave advice when we asked for it. Thanks for your help, Rob! We will highly recommend you to our friends and family.”

Luke and Amy Hoogendoorn

“From the beginning of the process till the end, Rob went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful sale. He had great advice before listing, and during the sale, he and the team kept in excellent contact so we could know what was going on. We had no surprises along the way because of this, and even with a few hiccups on the end, it didn't result in extra stress on our part. We would recommend Rob and the team anytime!”

Josh and Debra Peters

“We were very happy to have Rob as our realtor, he pays attention to detail, very thorough and responds back by text or call quickly. Thanks Rob.”

Klaas and Margaret Otten

“I felt like the agents I worked with went above and beyond and were truly available 24 hours a day. Rob was answering calls and texts at 11 pm to get the deal done. Kim (while Rob was on vacation) worked with very difficult buyers and stood strong on conditions. All in all the team was amazing and I now would never use another realty group.”

Torri Hanson

“Exemplary service. Can't think of anything that could have been done better. From the very beginning, it was clear that Rob was on our team - he truly wanted to us to be successful with the sale of our home. He worked hard weekends and evenings, and the extra effort was appreciated.”

Russell and Stephanie Werkman

“We loved having Rob as our realtor, both for buying and selling. He was always calm and patient, giving us thoughtful advice and helping us avoid mistakes. We ended up getting a great price for our old house and found the perfect home for our family. Rob never pressured us to do things his way, but was great at making us see the whole picture. He never tired of us asking silly questions and was always punctual and prompt with visits and correspondence. Can't recommend him highly enough.”

Conrad and Suzanne van Dyk

“Rob helped me with my first home purchase and I was very pleased with his professional style and ability to anticipate my needs every step of the way. He helped me to determine exactly what would be the right fit and always had the resources and experience to keep me properly informed throughout the process. Rob was a pleasure to work with and I especially appreciated his genuine interest in making sure that the final decision was one that was well considered and didn't put any pressure on me to rush the decision. His patience and integrity were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Rob to my family and friends.”

Dorothy Veldkamp

“Working with Rob made for a wonderful home buying experience! As a first time home buyer I had many questions and concerns, which Rob always cheerfully answered promptly and in detail.  Working with Rob allowed me to feel confident with what I was buying every step of the way. He is also super organized and saved me a few times by asking thoughtful questions and having copies of necessary documents I would not have thought to bring. Would definitely recommend Rob and the Schmidt realty team to friends and family.”

Megan VanderDeen 

“Rob has been a real delight to work with. He really understood what we wanted and was more than willing to help us find it within such a small timeframe. We will definitely be sharing his name with family and friends and calling him in the future. Thanks again Rob! “

Tom and Shania Woudstra

“We had the opportunity to work alongside Rob for both selling and buying. He was eager to answer questions and get information for us. Throughout the process he kept us well informed and was very accommodating to our schedules. Rob’s knowledge of the market and hard work allowed to us to sell our house within two weeks with multiple showings. Rob took our vision and requirements for a new home and quickly setup multiple showings while being honest with us about what he thought of each property and looking out for our best interests. We would highly recommend Rob!”

Shane and Kristin Duker

“My wife and I recently moved from B.C. to Alberta, and we are incredibly happy with the results Rob was able to get for us. His attention to detail and ability to provide us all the information we needed made the whole buying process easy. He was able to video conference us into showings of the properties we were interested in due to us being in another province, and we were able to purchase our house without having seen it in person. This wouldn't have been possible without Rob facilitating these walk-throughs and making us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We will definitely be recommending Rob to anyone else who is looking to buy or sell their house.”

Greg and Veronica Dehaas

“Rob has helped us sell & buy our home and we would recommend him to anyone! He was very organized, professional and always answered our phone calls and messages promptly. We were selling for the first time, and he made it seamless; giving us great advice and answering any question we had. Thank you so much, Rob! “

Tyler and Roseanne Hoeksema

“From the moment we contemplated listing our home Rob was there for us, arming us with the knowledge needed to make every decision confidently. Not only was he extremely professional, but Rob and the whole Schmidt team treated us like family and truly care. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome: our house sold over asking price in less than a day! We will be clients for life.”

Sean and Holly Baker

“My family has a lot of very good memories of working with Rob to buy a new home. He was always there when we needed him. In addition, the terms and conditions of Schmidt Realty Group were very unique, and there were a lot of extra benefits that showed extra care for the customer. We were able to buy our house for a good price. My family thanks Rob and Schmidt Realty Group.”

Jinchul Na

“I loved working with Rob. He was always organized and on time to showings and meetings. He was realistic about the houses we saw and always had the answers to the questions I asked. He is so prompt on replying to emails and calls that it made the whole process so smooth! I would recommend Rob to my friends and family.”

Karen V.

"Working with Rob to help us purchase a house was a pleasure and he really understood what we were looking for.  As out of town buyers, Rob readily accommodated our schedules whether it was viewing houses in person or via video stream.  We felt that he was organized and professional throughout the whole process, and would definitely recommend him as a realtor.”

Reuben and Roseanne Van Laar

“We had an excellent home-buying experience with Rob as our realtor.  We had unique circumstances in that we lived about 6 hours away from the Edmonton area, and we had a one-week time frame in which to view houses and make a purchase.  He contacted us a couple weeks before the trip and ensured that he understood what we were looking for.  Then when we came to the area to look for houses, he dedicated an ample amount of time at the beginning of the week to look at a variety of houses that met our search criteria.  Then he gave us the time to make our decision, including setting up a couple of repeat showings.  And finally, he guided us through the process of negotiating and purchasing our home.  We are thankful for all of his assistance, and we are glad that we asked him to help us find our home.”

Jason and Shannon

“Rob communicates very well, any problems that come up are dealt with promptly.  Getting the house ready to sell was effortless with all the help Rob provides.”

Tod and Heidi Nicol

“Rob DeJong is a pleasant person to work with. He is very honest, professional, and cares about his clients's interests.”
