My husband and I are relocating to Canada from London, England. At the prospect of our new life in a land of great opportunity, we had nothing but wonderlust in our eyes. However that excitement was soon tempered by the daunting process of buying a house in a fast-paced and process-driven Canadian property market... and all from 3,500 miles away! It became clear that we needed help. Lisa McDonald and her team came recommended as people who would not only take the time to understand our requirements (which gave us confidence that our interests would be properly represented), but also as people who would genuinely care about our goals. Thanks to Lisa's proven real estate expertise, personal skills and network of contacts, we not only found our dream home but we also saved a lot of money in the process. We highly recommend Lisa and her team.

An easy and stress free experience. I used to live in Mississauga and Lisa has helped my husband and I buy and sell 3 properties, to date. It’s always been easy, stress free, and most importantly quick!

We live in Markham right now, and as you can imagine the commute into Waterloo is killing me, so we are now moving back to the West end this month. We had a lot of showings in our house and we sold it within 1-week. We were very lucky to have Lisa represent us as she has the emotional intelligence, education, and thrive for her work, that makes every experience a great one.

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed working with the Heart N Home team.

From the first time we met I knew this was exactly what I wanted in a real estate agent – friendly, knowledgeable and 100% helpful! Of course, I was COMPLETELY won over when after realizing that I had a 3 year old son he brought over a children's deal with a sweet, sugary treat for him. I mean, who can say no to someone who appreciates the importance of sugar!

The HeartNHome Team made the sale of our home smooth and effortless. They were always available to answer a question and they were in contact with us regularly on every aspect of the sale. When we originally bought this house 4 years ago, there were times when I felt a little lost as to what was going on and what I was signing; whereas time was alwaystaken to explain everything that was going to happen, or could happen, and what we were trying to accomplish.

In addition, the team continue to amaze me with their commitment to us as their clients. In October, we received an invitation to a Pumpkinfest where we enjoyed some hot apple cider, cookies and a free pumpkin of our choice! They also asked for my son’s birthday so that they could keep it on file. To me these gestures show that we are not just another sale in a long list of clients. We are a valued client and that means a lot!

All in all I give The HeartNHome team an A++ for all their help and for successfully selling our home. I will certainly choose them again when we are looking to purchase our next home.

Thanks,

The Keller Williams HeartNHome Team brought a great deal of expertise to us in our quest to sell our home where we had lived for twenty-two years. It was our goal to downsize and relocate to a smaller home. They assisted us in understanding the market in our district enabling us to set a reasonable asking price for our home. With guidance, we developed a marketing plan and sold our home in eight days at over the asking price.

The HeartNHome Team was invaluable in searching the area where we wanted to relocate. We were exposed us to a wide range of homes in our price bracket. Soon we were able to select the home we wanted and again the knowledge of the market enabled us to buy our new home at the purchase price we wanted and this in the hot pre-spring market.

Once we finalized our purchase, we continued to get valuable assistance to have our new home inspected by a home inspector and prepared for us after taking possession. Continued advise and recommendations enabled us to make a seamless transition to the retirement home of our dreams.

We cannot thank The HeartNHome Team enough for their continued support.

Sincerely yours,

Coral Sloan and Ab Habib

On behalf of my family, I would like to take this opportunity to send a message to The HeartNHome team for their professionalism in the recent sale of our family home. The angels had called both Mom and Dad, and all their children had established themselves elsewhere. What to do with their empty nest? We called Deborah Clerk of The HeartNHome team for guidance and advice. She urged us to prepare the house the best we could and made several constructive suggestions, including a pre-home inspection. This tool was invaluable in helping the family with their decision. When we called to say we were ready, Deborah was right on it! We signed the Seller’s agreement on Friday and by Monday we had received a fabulous offer on the property! This house was SOLD!

In today’s economic arena, this is almost unheard of! Through her expertise and networking, Deborah was able to find a buyer who saw the potential in our old family home. Other members of her team were also extremely proactive. In particular, Marie, who kept us in the loop of activity, informed us of all the viewings the property had and other bits of information that was fascinating to hear. Undoubtedly, this team is one that works together towards a happy ending.

We would absolutely encourage anyone who is looking to either buy, or sell, a property to contact The HeartN Home team at Keller Williams. They were wonderful to work with and put all our concerns to rest.

And now, the empty home that served this family for close to fifty years will now have a new family, a new heart and it is our wish they too will thrive in their new home.

Thank you again, and kudos to Deborah Clerk for a job well done!

Dear Heart N Home Team
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for providing such a positive experience during the sale of my home. The “Heart N Home Team” is such an appropriate term, for the Keller Williams group. I have purchased 6 homes in my life and never have I come across a group of professionals so friendly and concerned for my well being. It was obvious throughout this timeframe, that the “Team” sincerely wanted to help me, not just make money.

The entire team is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and genuine. Lisa McDonald, who is in a leadership position with the team, has obviously only hired staff who will fulfill Keller Williams goals in a sincere manner. She runs the office with extreme efficiency and care. Lisa was always there to answer my questions, and to help me out in any way I needed. My particular agent, Ken Healey, went above and beyond the call of duty while dealing with me. His calm, friendly manner, helped make a stressful situation go very smoothly. Marie took care of all of my technical needs throughout this process. She too, is extremely efficient. When Ken left my house after listing, Marie had the details and pictures of my home up and running within an hour. An hour and a half after listing with Ken, I had my first showing. Three days later, my house was sold with multiple offers… this in an economy of such uncertainty. I can’t forget Jackie, who phoned me multiple times a day to arrange showings. Her bright and friendly voice, proved to me that it truly is “a great day at Keller Williams”. Thanks also goes to Richard, who on a moment’s notice, was able to host an open house for me. Last, but certainly not least, is Chris Dixon, who is my mortgage broker. Chris explained all the details of credit to me, taking the time to make sure I understood everything. His calm reassurance helped me to feel confident that all would go well.

I know that there are many people involved in this team, who help to make this company run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Thank you so very much to all of you, for truly making this the best real estate experience I have ever had. I urge anyone who is in the process of finding a real estate company to seek out Keller Williams for representation. Thanks again Heart N Home Team!!! Wendy C

the Heart N Home Team made our first selling experience a great one. Very responsive to our needs and concerns and made the process as non-disruptive as possible on our day-to-day lives. The support from all members of the team, activity reports provided, and creative solutions to maximize exposure were all part and parcel of the successful sale in a short period to time. As well, feedback from realtor and public open houses helped us better understand the market and our position in it, so there were no surprises in the end result. Thanks Keller Williams Real Estate for your commitment to client care and your friendly and personal approach. Regards, Nick & Meg M.

I don’t think any deal goes without a hitch but you and your team were more than helpful. Ken Healey is the greatest as is Chris Dixon who both went way beyond their duties to help me out. Also I would like to thank Marie and Jackie who kept me up to date on showings and helping in any way they could. I have and will continue to recommend you guys to anyone who will listen.

My husband and I weren’t sure what we were looking for when we began hunting for our first home and we had a lot of questions about the process. Ken made everything simple and painless. He was patient and professional and answered all of our questions honestly.
Ken really paid attention to what we liked or didn’t like in a house so that each time we went looking we were viewing homes that were becoming closer and closer to that perfect place for us. We are so glad to have had his support during the purchase of our home and to still have his support and friendship today. Lori & Greg B

Buying a house can be quite an overwhelming experience! Especially as first time home buyers we had no idea on how and where to start our search. Luckily for us, Julia came to our rescue! My husband and I never expected to find a real estate agent as wonderful as she was to us. Julia encompasses all the qualities that an ideal agent should be…she is kind, honest, punctual, dependable and very knowledgeable. Julia always looked out for our well being above her own commissions and sales opportunity. In every open house visit while my husband and I gushed over the houses, she made sure to look for any discprencies in the home that might cause problems, and she always provided her honest feedback as to whether the house was a suitable option for us. At a moments request, Julia always managed to fit in a showing for any house we wanted to see, and was always the first one on the scene ready with the all the details of the home. She was always available when needed her, that at times I forgot that she had other clients! Julia prepared us well on the buying process and always kept our spirits up about finding the perfect home. At first we anticipated the whole house hunting experience to be quite a challenging and stressful situation, but thanks to Julia it turned out to be truly enjoyable time in our lives. As happy as we are that we found our dream home, we were a little saddened that our meetings with Julia have ended. That is how great her service was for us. She was not just our real estate agent, but felt like a close friend. It was truly a pleasure to have worked with Julia and to have had her be a part of such an important step in our lives!

My experience with Lisa McDonald is at the highest level of positivity. Lisa listens well to the stated need of her clients. It is from this "platform" that she was able to make the viable comments and suggestions which we received from her. We were simply overwhelmed by two aspoects of her character, she was truthful and honest without being abrasive or brash, and two her reliability was at the highest level of professionalism. LIsa made us feel that she had only ONE client on her agenda it was US; that is a very special felling. The intensity of her sales technique was profound. In the short space of time that our house was sold, there were more than six groups of agents on site - a couple of hundred inquiries online and well over thirty walk-throughs. It was wonderful to meet Lisa and we will be making as many referrals to her as is humanly possible. Thank you Lisa McDonald for all you've done"

Thank you Lisa for your professional approach and great marketing techniques, which not only led to a quick sale but allowed us to participate and work closely with you and your team. All the preparation and your designers input helped to prepare a knock-out virtual tour to bring visitors in our home to be just as pleasantly surprised of model-home like looks! All the hard work you and your team invested in selling our home has come to fruition with multiple offers on the table and a late night "battle" to the finish line!

Your office worked closely with my wife to consider our son's daily activities and schedule showings around it. We are delighted to have chosen you and your company Kelelr Williams Realty to sell our home.

WE FOUND NEW FRIENDS!

Our experience with Lisa was, and still is, enjoyable and entertaining. We first met Lisa at one of her open houses..and right from the beginning she was extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality.

Soon after she bagan sending us prospect matches and after a few short weeks we found our house, but we knew we had to act fast!!! Lisa got a showing for us right away, and among multiple offers we got the house, no doubt due to her years of experience and good rapport with the selling realtor. Since we are first time buyers she guided us through everything, and was able to refer us to some excellent contacts.

We would recommend her to family and friends in a heartbeat. We close on January second and can't wait to turn this house into our home!.

Thanks for everything,
Sincerely

I jsut wanted to express my appreciation to Lisa McDonald - my fantastic agent who not only was instrumental in helping my sister and I to sell our condo apartment but she also found another condo apartment for me!

My hope was to remain in the same building and Lisa came through for me and found the perfect fit - in fact it's so perfect the paint colours are almost exactly the same as my old condo.

This was a very tryin time in my life and Lisa helped make onerous task of selling and buying much easier.

I thought Lisa was a great Real Estate Representative. She was very friendly, approachable, sensitive, empathetic and knowledgeable. Lisa was readily available for us and responded quickly to any concerns that we had and tied up all the loose ends making it more of a stress free transaction.

I would highly recommend Lisa (again) to anyone I know of selling, or buying a home.

I also received a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my home when the sale went through! They were beautiful and so very thoughtful!”

From the first meeting with Lisa we hit it off... Did you know we drive the identical car and we have similar taste in quite a few things, including Swiss Chalet.

I found her knowledge of the area impressive, her honesty was even more impressive and her sense of humour refreshing.

The feeling that I was helped by a friend rather than a real estate agent has already convinced me to go back to Lisa, when it comes time to sell the condo...Cheers Lisa.

We would like to say how thankful we are for your incredible service. As a young couple, looking for the first time in the real estate market, we were not only faced with a little trepidation due to our inexperience but also overwhelmed by the realization that we really did not know what we wanted. It seemed the more we saw the more lost we were.

Along the way we met a few agents who seemed more interested in their needs then ours. It was then a very pleasant surprise when we met you at one of the homes you were showing. You not only treated us seriously (which some agents failed to do, perhaps due to the fact we were young first time buyers) but you were also very effective at navigating us towards realizing what we needed. Instead of being told by you what you thought we should do, you found a way of letting us figure that out for ourselves. This is what I must say made the final decision not only comfortable but at all possible. Decisions on purchasing real estate will never be easy, but you made the process actually enjoyable, something I thought I would never say.

Lisa, your patience, insight, experience and sincerity left a very strong impact on us and we will most definitely seek your services when the time comes for us to make another move, and we most definitely recommend your services to anyone who wants a different and better experience.

Dearest Lisa,

Well, what can we both say - you are fantastic to work with! This was our first home purchase so nerves became a typical thing for us during this process. However, we must say, that with your professionalism and your understanding you truly made this process enjoyably memorable.

You promised us that we'd find the house of our dreams, and you delivered! And you delivered well! You really devoted yourself to this project, you were attainable at any hour of the day and your experience shined through with every obstacle we met along the way.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for helping us sell our house.

Cullen an I enjoyed working with you on this joint project in spite of the fact that your 'helpful suggestions' always translated into more work for us.

Although I always knew that selling a house would be a stressful experience (from all the stories and jokes I had heard over the years) I still underestimated how stressful it really is. I am naturally assuming the seller wants to maximize on the price and speed in selling their house, as we did.

As you know when I originally contacted you to schedule an interview about possibly using your services I told you that I would be interviewing a few different agents before making my choice. You had some tough competition however within 5 minutes I knew you were THE one.

I immediately felt comfortable with your friendly, easy going yet professional nature. I think this is a very important quality from both perspectives, the buyers as well as the sellers. You listened to our wishes and our needs and immediately helped us put a plan into action that we were all comfortable with. This, I think, is another important factor from the seller's perspective: when all parties are in sync it goes a long way in making the venture seem like a partnership and therefore somehow a little easier. I'll always remember the time I phoned you in a panic because I couldn't find the 'right' area rug for the front hall (one of your 'suggestions') and you very calmly told me not to worry, you would try to find one and you DID! Thank you.

The 2 days of Open House went as planned: I did my part by staying away and I know you did your part because we had 3 offers at the end of it. WOW

The combined efforts of the 3 of us produced a win/win result and that just can't be topped!

Cullen and I look forward to moving into the next phase of our life as we wish the new buyer looks forward to the same in our former house.

For you, we wish you the best of luck, continued success and happiness now and going into the future.

With kindest regards,
The Simpsons

I want to thank you once again for assisting us on the sale of our home. You truly made this potentially stressful experience one that was very relaxed, and rewarding.

The personal service you provided, during the sale was fabulous. You were always available to us 24/7 and educated us to become confident in our decisions. Even after the transaction was complete you kept in contact with us on a personal level. Lisa-you really do care about your clients and that shows.

Dear Lisa,

We want to thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for your advice, assistance and patience during the selling of our home. Although it only took 6 days from the point in time that we listed our home until we had a firm offer - this time seemed much longer and it was reassuring for us to know that we could call upon you at any time to discuss the process.

As it was our desire to have a quick sale, your team’s up front advice helped us show off our home’s greatest assets. We know that the buyers of our home, first noticed it on the internet, so the extra effort you put in to preparing the video was also critical to the quick sale.

We were obviously ecstatic, when two offers were received above our asking price, within a week of listing the property! It is very apparent that you really know the real estate business!

Lisa, you are the Best!

Thank you.

Once we decided to sell our house it became important to find the right sales agent. In discussing our pending sale with our brother-in-law and the need to find a competent agent he immediately recommended Lisa McDonald.

Our brother-in-law had previously dealt with Lisa as a real estate client and came away from the experience completely satisfied with the professional service, patience and attention to detail he received.

We decided to go with Lisa and we can re-iterate and reinforce without any hesitation the professionalism, knowledge of the market, attention to detail, patience and understanding that we experienced in this endeavour.

The project to sell our house was well planned - Lisa allowed the stager she works with to come to our home and make recommendations to enhance the presentation of our house. She also arranged for a pre-inspection report by a professional in the field to avoid any surprises that may mitigate against a potential sale. The marketing material was extensive and was also well presented in a detail and efficient manner.

The first open house created an enormous flow of potential customers resulting in two offers on the Monday following open houses on Saturday and Sunday. Because of the tremendous job in planning our sale our home was sold in three days.

Based on our very positive experience with Lisa McDonald we are in a position to highly recommend her as the agent you should consider to sell your home.
