TESTIMONIALS - English - En Français - For Sale by Owner

I would highly recommend Sylvie Bégin's Home Team at Keller Williams Ottawa Realty...  Sylvie listed my house in Beacon Hill North and as soon as the listing appeared on MLS, it sold in a matter of 8 days ....  

Her staff kept me appraised on a daily basis of all the showings...  Even though the team had a busy workload in dealing with all their clients, they handled the sale of my home with utmost professionalism and dedication. 

I felt special and they treated me as such...  I would not hesitate to deal with Sylvie's Home Team again... "

"Dear Sylvie,

We are writing to express our complete satisfaction in the help you provided us in the selling of our house.  We especially appreciated your level of professionalism, your degree of organization, and how you made the entire process look so easy.  From the time you walked into our home and made your presentation, we knew immediately you were the person for us.

We also want to congratulate your "team" who throughout the selling/showing process made themselves very accessible and supportive.  From picture taking to providing timely feedback, we were impressed with the level of promptitude and the courteous manner with which we were treated.  In short, having put such a great team together only proves your excellent leadership skills.

We will not hesitate in recommending your services to our friends and our clients.

Once again, thank you for everything!"

"Dear Sylvie,

Back in September 1986 when you were a "rookie" agent, you found us our very first home in Carleton Place.  Your professionalism and knowledge was very evident and your enthusiasm was very contagious! After much research on your part you found our perfect home.  Several years later when we decided to sell and move back into Ottawa, we were dismayed to learn you were then living in the US and therefore unable to be our agent.

Fast forward to September of 2003 - now ready to sell our Ottawa condo and retire to BC, we were pleased to once again call upon you.  We can't express enough how pleased we have been with your complete dedication.  The research you undertook before our initial meeting was unbelievable.  We also appreciated your honesty and the explanation you so patiently delivered on housing trends in our area of Ottawa.  We were so thankful that you agreed to "raise the bar" and list our condo at a price higher than your research indicated and needless to say we were pleasantly surprised when a very nice offer came in.  Do you realize that as of this date, our condo has sold for several thousands of dollars higher than similar units?

This successful sale is thanks to your persistent research; your thorough knowledge of real estate trends; your very professional manner; and your extremely competent staff.

One more thing - we appreciated very much that we did not have 'Open Houses' - these can be very disruptive and obviously were unnecessary.  We had a total of eight people come in on pre-arranged viewings with the seventh person buying our unit.

Now we are ready to pack up and move out to Vancouver Island! When we find our retirement home we will advise you - so that should you ever be out our way you can be sure to look us up!

Once again - a huge thanks for a job so competently well done! As Len would say, "BRAVO ZULU" - a job well done!"

"Dear Sylvie,

I would like to thank you for what I think is a record-breaking successful sale!  If you take out Christmas Eve afternoon, and Christmas Day (when I did not want to discuss real estate!), in less than 24 hours, your Home Team managed to complete the process and land, for me, a successful offer.

What a relief for me that I don't have to spend this and next month vacating my home to let it be shown! Not to mention the quality of the offer.

Thank you to all at the Home Team for your professional and efficient efforts in moving my home sale through such a speedy window."
