Your Cochrane Real Estate Agents: Wayne & Sean Burton

REMAX West Real Estate | Cochrane, AB

We're Wayne and Sean Burton, a father-and-son team with REMAX West Real Estate, working from our office at 110 2 Ave W in downtown Cochrane. We help people buy and sell homes in Cochrane, northwest Calgary and Bearspaw, and we live here too. When you call us, you're talking to the same two people who will be at your showings, your listing appointment and your negotiations.

A small family team

We're a small family team on purpose. You won't be handed off to a junior agent or a call centre.

Who we are

Wayne Burton
Wayne Burton
Real Estate Agent, REALTOR
Wayne Burton has worked in residential real estate since 1989. Before that, he spent years with a residential construction firm, moving from the engineering department into sales and management, so he looks at a house the way a builder does. Wayne is also a former member of the Canadian Disabled Ski Team and won Paralympic silver and bronze medals in 1984. He brings that same steady focus to every file. Today he calls Cochrane home, along with his wife Terry, their grown children and grandsons.

Sean Burton
Sean Burton
Real Estate Agent, REALTOR
Sean Burton grew up in northwest Calgary and was first licensed as a REALTOR® in 2004. He's also a former licensed home inspector. That means he notices things many buyers miss, like roof and drainage issues, aging furnaces and signs of past water, and he can explain what's normal wear and what's worth a closer look. For sellers, it means knowing what a buyer's inspector is likely to flag before the house hits the market. Sean also handles much of our online marketing, photos and video. He lives in Cochrane with his wife Miki and their two boys, and Miki helps our clients with staging and client care.

Where we work

  • Cochrane: our home base, from established neighbourhoods near downtown to newer communities on the edges of town.
  • Northwest Calgary: including Tuscany, Rocky Ridge, Royal Oak, Hawkwood, Arbour Lake, Ranchlands and Silver Springs.
  • Bearspaw: acreages and country residential properties between Cochrane and the city.

How we help

Buying. We help you sort out what you need, set up listing alerts, book showings and look closely at each home before you write an offer. Sean's inspection background is a real help here. We'll negotiate on your behalf and stay with you through conditions, financing and possession. Start with our Buying Resources or the Cochrane Relocation Guide if you're moving from out of town.

Selling. We start with a free home evaluation based on recent sales near you, then talk honestly about price, timing and what's worth fixing before you list. We'll give you staging guidance, arrange photos and video, and market your home online, on social media and on the MLS® System through REMAX West Real Estate. See our Selling Resources for more.

Why a local Cochrane agent matters

Cochrane isn't one market. A home in an established neighbourhood near downtown, a newer build in a growing community and an acreage outside town each sell differently. Lot sizes, builder warranties, commute routes along Highway 1A and Highway 22, school options and the pace of new construction all affect value. A local agent who drives these streets every day can tell you why two similar homes are priced differently and which questions to ask.

We've written guides for many Cochrane communities, with photos, school information and current listings:

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Cochrane agent to buy or sell in Cochrane?

Any agent licensed with the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) can help you buy or sell here. A local agent, though, knows the communities, the builders and recent sales, which helps with pricing, negotiating and spotting issues early.

How much does it cost to hire a real estate agent in Alberta?

Commission isn't set by law in Alberta. It's negotiable and written into your agreement with the brokerage. On many purchases, the buyer's brokerage is paid out of the seller's side of the deal, and your agreement explains what happens if it isn't. We'll go over all of it with you before you sign anything.

How do I choose the right agent?

Check that they're licensed by searching RECA's public licensee lookup at reca.ca, read reviews from local clients, and ask how often they work in your area and how they'll keep in touch. Most of all, pick someone you trust to tell you the truth about a house or a price.

What's included in a free home evaluation?

We look at your home's size, condition and features, then compare it with recent sales and active listings nearby to suggest a realistic price range. There's no cost or obligation. It isn't a formal appraisal, but it's a solid starting point for planning a sale.

Do you work outside Cochrane?

Yes. Cochrane is our main focus, and we also work regularly in northwest Calgary and Bearspaw. If you're buying in one area and selling in another, we can handle both sides of your move.

How do we get started?

Call or email either of us. We'll start with a no-pressure conversation about your plans and timing, and you can decide from there.
