Darren Gugyelka

We had such a fantastic experience with Grassroots as first time home buyers! Darren is an absolutely fantastic realtor with such a wealth of industry knowledge, and his expertise was such a great help throughout our entire home-buying process. We could not be happier with the service provided and ability shown throughout our time working with him, and cannot recommend Darren and Grassroots highly enough!

Carmen worked diligently to help me find my perfect home and took care of all of my needs from start to finish. She’s simply the best!

We cannot say enough great things about the Grassroots Team again, but this time Darren out of Lethbridge. We had a quick turn around time move into a new area, he met and exceeded our needs right away. He was prompt and concise with communication and with years of experience he helped us get our dream house in a fast acting market where we would have never expected to get it! Darren was extremely personable and prompt, if you’re looking for a home in the Lethbridge or Coaldale area he is your guy!! Thank you again Darren, we appreciate all of your help along with way with our purchase!

We had a great experience working with the team, Darren and Manson were helpful and responsive, and did their best to make the experience as stress-free as possible for our family.

Great experience! During this long distance transaction Darren Gugyelka was always accessible to answer all questions, very knowledgeable and very patient. Thank you Darren it was a pleasure working with you!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Carmen and the SAH team! She was an absolute pleasure to work with - knowledgeable, dedicated, and an incredible advocate throughout the entire process. As a first-time homebuyer, I felt so supported knowing she was in my corner, always making sure my wants and needs were clearly represented and protected. Carmen came highly recommended and after working with her, I can see why - she’s exceptional at what she does and such a lovely presence to have throughout the home-buying process. I’m so grateful our paths crossed and would recommend her to family and friends in a heartbeat!

Darren and his team at Grassroots Realty were amazing to work with. They showed us similar listings in the market to help us figure out a listing price. They also worked extremely well with communicating all showings. Our home sold in 7 days on market with the help of Darren. He even helped us find a Grassroots’s realtor hours away where we were moving and he was fantastic as well. His knowledge and experience and compassion with us on the sale of our home will be the reason I recommend the grassroots team for any future purchases or sales.

5 stars and more for JL and the whole team at Southern Alberta Homes! As first-time homebuyers, we naturally had some nerves and countless questions. From day one, JL and the team made us feel completely at ease, guiding us through every step of the process with patience and clarity. Their dedication and positive energy made the entire experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. This is a team that truly shows up and cares, and for that reason, Southern Alberta Homes will always be our first choice.

Horrible experience with this company! I wouldn’t recommend this company to Anyone! They don’t even try to follow directions, slow at getting back you, if at all.

After looking at several houses that we thought were a good fit for us but just didn’t feel like home. Darren payed close attention to everything that we wanted and found us our forever home. He also sold my house in what seemed like a split second. He has patience and kindness and was there every step of the way. From start to finish Darren is an amazing realtor in buying or selling your house!

Darren and his team worked diligently to get our host sold in record time above asking cost. He walked us through every step of the sale and was a true pleasure to work with.

My husband and I had a great experience. Even if we were traveling and not always easy to reach, Darren was always available and resourceful. The process of our house purchase was a smooth as it could be we would happily use his services again.

We have been working with Darren for close to a year and we just closed on our house! Darren has been great to work with. Very accommodating to our schedules and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed working with him.

I cannot recommend southern Alberta homes team enough! Manson and his team were absolutely fantastic to deal with from start to finish. They helped us sell our home and find our new home and made sure to check all the boxes to give us peace of mind and certainty that we were making the right decision's. They were very attentive and always responded to our messages and answered our questions in a timely manner. They ended up finding our dream home for us and sold our first home for well over what we had expected and they did it fast! If you’re looking to sell your home Manson and his team are the people to call!

Working with Darren was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, he was truly a godsend—bringing not only deep knowledge and expertise to every step of the process but also a rare level of empathy, patience, and calm. He’s the kind of person you want by your side during one of life’s most stressful and exciting journeys. Darren isn’t just a realtor—he’s a dream-maker. Driven, dedicated, and endlessly supportive, he made us feel confident and cared for at every turn. We’ve been raving about him to everyone we know, and we’ll continue to do so without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will fight to get you into your dream home while bringing you peace of mind the entire way—Darren is your guy.

This team went above and beyond in not only finding us a house we wanted but answering all our questions at anytime time of day and making this everything go as smooth as possible from start to finish.

I highly recommend working with Kristie Kruger from the Grassroots Realty Group. I relocated from BC to Alberta, and she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Kristie genuinely cares about her clients and always keeps their best interests at heart. She—and the entire team—absolutely deserve 5 stars.

Working with Darren was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication were unmatched. They took the time to truly understand our needs, kept us informed every step of the way, and made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. With buying a house outside the country but selling our home in Canada, Darren was communicative through every step despite the distance. We highly recommend Darren and his team for your buying and selling process.

We called Darren to tour a home for sale on a quick stop in Lethbridge on our way back to Edmonton. He met us within the hour and although that property wasn’t for us, he said he could work with us remotely to find the right fit for us. Well after a FaceTime showing on a different property we decided to make our purchase. He helped with every aspect of the sale and even did the prepossession walk through for us. We arrived in town to take possession of the new property and it was perfect! Thanks Darren for making everything so easy and the place is amazing!!

Excellent group of professionals. Manson Kelly is as good as they come.

Great group to work with. Manson and Ally were attentive and took care of everything I asked for!

Darren Gugyelka of Grassroots Realty was instrumental in the successful purchase of the perfect home for my wife and me. We are from the Edmonton area moving to Lethbridge, and his service and attention to our wants and needs, over an extended period of time, has been top notch. He directly assisted us in negotiating an ideal deal. Darren, thank you so very much for your outstanding service to us.

We can not say enough positive things about Grassroots Realty Group. We had the privilege of working with Darren Gugyelka on both the selling side and the buying. He made the process worry free and was able to facilitate the process even though we unexpectedly were out of town for the majority of the time. Darren was able to answer our questions and help to make sure everything went smoothly. He assisted us in receiving the best price possible in selling our house while negotiating an agreeable purchase price for our new home. Darren was very professional and hard working. We greatly appreciate everything he has done for us and would highly recommend him and his team. We would definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you Darren and the Grassroots Realty Group. You’re the best! Shay Duda and Riley Swoboda
