Kurtis Garrett's Profile

Hi, I’m Kurtis Garrett, co-founder of First Response Realty and a proud member of the Carstairs and surrounding communities.

I’m originally from Cambridge, Ontario, and I’ve proudly called Alberta home for over a decade. This is where I’ve built my life, grown strong roots, and chosen to raise my family and serve my community.

I’m also a paramedic, and that experience has had a lasting impact on how I approach real estate. Working in high-pressure environments taught me how to stay calm, communicate clearly, and make thoughtful decisions when it matters most. Those skills translate naturally into real estate, especially during moments that can feel stressful or overwhelming for clients.

I believe strongly in taking the time to explain options clearly and making sure people feel confident and supported throughout the process — never rushed. For me, real estate is about trust, responsibility, and doing right by the people who put their confidence in us.

Outside of work, I have a passion for motorcycles. I enjoy getting out on the open road whenever I can — it’s something that helps me reset, stay focused, and appreciate the balance between precision and freedom.

At First Response Realty, I’m proud to help families buy and sell homes with honesty, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the community we call home.
