Jessica Chan Real Estate & Management

Jessica Chan has been a Calgary real estate agent since 1990. Today she works with buyers and sellers across northwest, city centre, and south Calgary alongside three other licensed REALTORS® on her team, with a 4.8-star rating from 168+ clients.

35+ Years Helping Calgarians Buy and Sell

Jessica Chan moved to Canada in 1987 and earned her Calgary real estate license in 1990. For the first two decades of her career she worked as a solo agent with a single assistant, building a reputation through repeat clients, referrals, and the trust that comes from doing the work consistently over time. In 2010 she expanded into Jessica Chan & Associates so she could bring on additional agents and support staff. In October 2022 she became a broker and founded Jessica Chan Real Estate & Management Inc., the brokerage she runs today.

Her clients describe her as detail-oriented, organized, and a strong negotiator. Most of her business comes from people she has worked with before, or from referrals those clients pass along. Listening carefully to what each client actually needs is a recurring theme in the reviews she receives.

Jessica speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin fluently. When she isn't working, she enjoys golfing, singing, and swimming. You can read more in her full bio.

Working With Buyers

Buying a home in Calgary is rarely just about the home itself. School catchments, commute times, builder reputations, community age, and resale potential all factor in. As your buyer's agent, we work through these together. The first conversation is about your situation, budget, and timeline. From there, we build a clear list of priorities before showing a single property.

During the search, we point out things in each home that most buyers wouldn't catch on a 30-minute walkthrough: original windows due for replacement, foundation grading concerns, signs of past water issues, neighborhood quirks. When you find a property worth pursuing, we review recent comparable sales on the same streets, advise on a fair offer, and negotiate the terms with the listing agent.

Buyer representation is provided at no direct cost to you as a buyer. Agent compensation is paid through the listing brokerage when the sale closes. You sign a buyer's representation agreement before showings, so the relationship is clear in writing from the start. New to the process? Our first-time home buyer guide walks through what to expect step by step, and our mortgage calculator helps with budget planning.

If you are ready to start looking, you can search Calgary listings, join the Home Finder to get matched with new properties as they hit the market, or read the full Buyer's Guide. To start working with an agent directly, contact us.

Working With Sellers

Pricing a home accurately is the single biggest decision in a sale, and we spend real time on it. Our comparative market analysis combines current MLS data with what we have personally seen sell, and not sell, in the same Calgary communities over decades. Listings priced thoughtfully attract competing offers; listings priced optimistically tend to sit on the market and then sell for less than they would have at a stronger initial price.

Once price is set, we coordinate professional photography, prepare the MLS listing, and handle showing scheduling and buyer-agent communication directly so you are not interrupted by every minor inquiry. When offers come in, we walk through the terms with you, advise on counter-offers, and manage the paperwork through to closing. You can read more about our approach in our marketing plan or the full Seller's Guide.

About Jessica Chan Real Estate FAQs

How long has Jessica Chan been selling real estate in Calgary?

Her career spans multiple market cycles, from the early-90s recovery through Calgary's oil booms, the 2014 correction, and today's market. That experience translates into specific judgment on pricing, negotiation, and timing that newer agents don't have access to.

What areas of Calgary does Jessica Chan serve?

That includes communities like Tuscany, Royal Oak, Hamptons, Arbour Lake, Edgemont, Varsity, Hawkwood, Dalhousie, Brentwood, Altadore, Scenic Acres, and Silver Springs, among many others. She works with clients throughout the city, but her deepest community knowledge is concentrated in those three quadrants.

What languages do Jessica Chan and her team speak?

Jessica and every agent on her team (David Chan, Vivian Zhong, and Dodo Ng) speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese fluently.

Does Jessica Chan work with first-time home buyers?

Yes. The team regularly works with first-time buyers.

What makes Jessica Chan different from other Calgary real estate agents?

More than three decades in one market is the headline difference.
