What Our Clients Had to Say About Working With The Brian Kondo Real Estate Team | Marie

I’ve said this on previous blog posts when giving you the story behind the sale. And that  is, if you’re in the real estate business long enough and do a good job for your clients,  they’ll become repeat customers and use you again to buy and/or sell, sometimes  multiple times!


That’s exactly what has happened with Marie. She mentions in her testimonial (see  below) that she completed her fourth purchase and sale with my team. Since that  testimonial, she has bought and sold with us one more time. That makes it 5 times,  which is 10 buy and sell ends!


I first met her in 2009 when I sold her matrimonial home in South Ajax and assigned an  agent on my team, Janette, to help her find a home. Marie ended up buying a condo  townhouse in Whitby.


Within 2 years, she was on the move again and we helped her sell the Whitby home  and buy in Bowmanville, which was just on the cusp of becoming a destination for  buyers from the city who couldn’t afford Toronto or even homes as far east as Whitby.


Marie is very handy and has a keen eye for updating her homes, which helps when you  move as often as Marie does and don’t want to take a loss when selling. In fact, the Ajax home I sold for her was, in a word, stunning! Anyway, within another 2 years, she  sold the Bowmanville home for a tidy profit and moved back to Ajax, this time into a condo apartment.


Marie stayed there for 5 years this time but boy, did she spend that time wisely. She  transformed her apartment into a gorgeous, unique space. I hadn’t seen this done in  any other condo building before, but upon entering her unit, she had transformed the  entrance into a separate vestibule. And as usual, her apartment was totally updated and showed a 10! It didn’t take long for me to sell it. In fact, I was able to sell it for the highest price ever for a unit like hers in the building at that time.


One reason she sold was to move closer to a new job in the west end of the GTA and  this time, Mike Koson was assigned to help her. After showing her a lot of homes and  getting a couple conditional offers accepted, she ended up not buying either one.


The first offer we walked from was because the lawyer we referred Marie to, John  Tucciarone, was concerned about what he found in the Status Certificate, namely the  existence of two lawsuits and a low Reserve Fund.


The second offer we walked from was for another condo. This time the mortgage  specialist we referred Marie to, Robert Ganzhorn, found out that CMHC hadn’t funded  anything in this building for a couple of years. Even though Marie didn’t need CMHC  approval, this was an important piece of information, so we didn’t firm this offer up  either.


After more time looking for the right condo, Mike eventually found her the perfect condo  apartment in Etobicoke - not only was Marie really happy with this one, but John  Tucciarone and Robert Ganzhorn couldn’t find anything wrong with it either. This time,  the unit didn’t need much work. However, when Marie contacted us about 3 years later  because she missed Ajax and wanted to move back, we soon found out that she couldn’t help herself – her unit had been completely updated and renovated. Anyway,  after this difficult purchase, Marie sent us a testimonial, which you can read below.


Mike ended up listing and selling the Etobicoke condo (for a huge profit) and helped her  find a condo apartment in Ajax. Working with Marie over the years has now come full  circle – I first met Marie and sold her house in South Ajax way back in 2009 and after 4  more moves, she’s back in Ajax again!


As I mentioned earlier in this story, not only do I have great agents that work on my  team, but all the specialists that are extended members of my team have the same  philosophy as I do – to give great advice to my clients, even if it causes them to walk  away from a conditional deal like above. This results in clients who trust that we’ll refer  them to the best professionals, like John Tucciarone (lawyer) and Robert Ganzhorn (mortgage specialist). Most importantly though, we end up with extremely happy, loyal  clients like Marie!


You can see what she had to say below after her fourth purchase (in Etobicoke) and  sale with us: 

Hi Ginette,


 

I have finally put together a little testimonial! Sorry it took as so long. I hope it’s OK.


This is the longest, most stressful sale and purchase for me but you, Brian and Mike  made it much more bearable just by being so professional and working through  everything with me. Thanks for everything Ginette!


I have just completed my fourth sale and purchase with Brian Kondo and his team. The  quality of service and depth of knowledge that they provide makes them the best real  estate team around!


Brian and his team were always available, very responsive and give the best advice and  support through the selling and buying process. It is like having a trusted friend help you  all the way through.


I would recommend Brian and his team to anyone looking to make a move…they work  hard for you and are experts at what they do!


Cheers!
