One Properties
"ONE Properties engaged Clear Stone Asset Consulting Inc. in 2019 to assist us with the creation of our multi-family property management platform, turning our vision into reality. Chrystal’s knowledge and background in multi-family real estate, along with her previous experience in creating best practices in a similar management model, made her the perfect fit for our project. We successfully launched the platform in 2020 and continue to work with Chrystal and Clear Stone as we grow our portfolio under management."

Ellis Don Construction Services Inc.
"Allan Carr, President of Clear Stone Asset Consulting Inc., worked with EllisDon on a residential suite upgrades in a 300 plus apartment building in the Beltline of Calgary Alberta. The project was logistically challenging as the suite upgrades were spread through-out the tower. This meant communication was key with the buildings operation team, and the tenants throughout the building. Allan, performing as the building owner & operator's representatives, was very responsive, collaborative and timely communications and decision making. He was a key in helping EllisDon, our subtrades, and our client all have success on the project.
We look forward to working with Allan again on future projects, and would not hesitate to recommend his services on projects of the like."

We highly recommend Clear Stone to any investors who are looking to acquire or dispose of property and lack the knowledge and negotiating skills to confidently handle it themselves.

MHA Properties
"Clear Stone Asset Consulting has assisted us by visiting each of our properties, including those in BC, to provide professional insight based on their observations. They also helped by reviewing operating expenses at our properties and identifying ways to reduce costs, performed market surveys and helped with rate planning.
During a renovation project at our Calgary office building they provided project management duties for us. They also represent us to commercial leasing brokers and have achieved a 60% vacancy reduction in a tough market.
Clear Stone has facilitated in-house training of our site management staff on leasing sales skills, site management procedures and responsibilities, and regulations that govern our industry.

Bentall Kennedy
"When Bentall Kennedy began the residential property management business unit in late 2011, we had 119 unit and today we manage over 3000, soon to be 4000 units from Ontario to British Columbia. The growth of the department has exceeded our expectations and Chrystal’s role in developing the business has been fundamental, if not critical, to our success.
“Chrystal helped build the operating platform, establishing everything from job descriptions, training programs, customer service training to policies and procedures. Her dedication and commitment to her role has been exemplary, earning her the respect of the entire organization and more importantly, strong confidence from our clients. We secured additional management mandates due to the asset performance in the first two years of operation due to our results in achieving double digit increases in revenue while holding on expenses. This was all under Chrystal’s direct management with brand new staff, brand new systems and little in the way of tools or resources. Quite frankly, an almost insurmountable amount of responsibility, but nevertheless, she executed flawlessly.
“Despite the phenomenal growth, Chrystal established and maintained a professional relationship with our residents and our resident surveys have always had positive results in these early years. She took time to enhance customer service training available within the company and ensure that our staff were adequately trained from the beginning in order to optimize the resident experience at our managed properties."
