I'm a Bangladeshi-Canadian who understands exactly what it feels like to navigate a new country. I speak your language, literally. And I'll guide you through every step of buying a home in Calgary with patience, clarity, and zero jargon.
From Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and beyond. I understand family priorities, school districts, cultural communities, nearby mosques and temples, halal grocery access.
Just received your PR? I guide you through newcomer mortgage programs, FHSA eligibility, and finding a home before the Canadian credit profile catches up with reality.
Moving to Calgary for work? I research commute routes, transit access, and neighbourhood lifestyle fit before your first viewing, and often before you've landed in Alberta.
Graduating and putting down roots? I help recent graduates navigate their first purchase, from FHSA setup to understanding how student loan history affects mortgage qualification.
Arriving from Ontario, BC, or elsewhere in Canada? I give you an honest comparison of what your budget buys in Calgary vs. where you're from, which is usually a pleasant surprise.
Looking for space for extended family, basement suite for parents, halal-friendly neighbourhood, or proximity to a specific cultural community, I know Calgary's diverse communities intimately.
Canada's major banks offer newcomer mortgage programs specifically designed for permanent residents who haven't had time to build a full Canadian credit profile. Here's what you need to know.
Permanent residents have the same home buying rights as Canadian citizens. Work permit holders may face some restrictions. I clarify your specific situation in our first call, no legal complexity left unexplained.
Permanent residents who are first-time buyers can open a First Home Savings Account immediately. The earlier you open it, the more contribution room you accumulate, start this before you're even ready to buy.
I connect you with mortgage brokers who specialize in newcomer clients and know exactly which lenders to approach for your profile. Pre-approval establishes your budget and shows sellers you're a serious buyer.
Calgary's communities vary enormously, culturally, by school quality, by commute access, and by price. I map your priorities (cultural community, halal groceries, mosque/temple proximity, school ratings) against what's available in your budget.
I set up a MLS search, accompany you to every viewing, and provide a full market analysis for every home you're serious about. No guesswork. No pressure.
I draft and negotiate your offer, manage the conditions period, coordinate your lawyer and lender, and ensure a smooth possession. I remain available long after the keys are in your hand, your first year of homeownership is full of new questions.

I came from Bangladesh. I studied in Manitoba. I built a career in corporate Canada and now call Calgary home. I've sat at both sides of this table, as a newcomer navigating an unfamiliar system, and as a professional who's mastered it.
When you work with me, language is never a barrier. I explain Canadian real estate concepts in your language, Bangla, Hindi, or Urdu, so you understand exactly what you're signing and why. There's no rushing, no pressure, and no assumption that you should already know how things work here. That's not how I operate.
Tell me a bit about your situation. I'll follow up in English, Bangla, Hindi, or Urdu, whichever is most comfortable for you.
