Testimonials

We were referred to Kerry by a close friend.  We interviewed two realtors and chose Kerry because of his reputation, marketing knowledge and because he took the time to listen and figure out what was the best for us.  We used Kerry’s services twice already and would use him and refer him for life.  When we originally asked Kerry to sell our second property, he was honest with us and told us that our property was not in an area he had done business in before and that he could refer us to a local realtor.  Our answer to that was that we were not comfortable with using anyone else.  He agreed but did much more than just put a sign on the lawn. He put in countless hours of research and marketing for our home. He actually broke a record on our street by selling our property in three weeks when the average home sells in four months.  He did not only sell our home fast, he got us a price above our expectations and got us the closing we wanted.

We decided to ask Kerry to help us find a home after we had seen a listing of a property he had sold in a neighbourhood that we were interested in. Prior to this, we had been looking for houses for about a month. We found his website, www.kerryyouhome.com, and sent him an email. Within two minutes, we received a call on our cellphone! Before finding Kerry, we had emailed another agent. We are still waiting for her response. As first time home buyers, we did not know what to expect. Kerry prepared a home buyers' guide for us to read. Not only was it informative, it helped us ask the right questions. Anyone can go on the Internet and do the research themselves, but the guide consolidated the most relevant information for first-time home buyers. During our first meeting with Kerry, we were put at ease because he was very knowledgeable and very patient. Kerry provided real-life examples from his experiences in the real estate industry, which we found interesting and entertaining. We prepared a list of requirements and our preferred neighbourhoods. Based on our needs and wants, he provided a complete history and background for properties in each neighbourhood. From this research, we were able to determine which houses were worth looking at. Fortunately for us, the first home Kerry showed us was also the last home we looked at. We liked it so much, Kerry prepared an offer to the seller immediately. The back and forth offer and counteroffer process was probably the most nerve racking part of the home buying experience, but Kerry reassured us every step of the way. Once the buyer accepted our final offer, we were ecstatic. Kerry knows many knowledgeable and reputable people. He recommended a great home inspector who not only inspected our prospective new home, but he also gave us pointers and answered our endless questions about being a homeowner. His mortgage specialist provided us amazing service and he was able to get us approval very quickly. Last but not least, his general contractor, Steve, did an amazing job by installing hardwood floors and oak stairs at a very good price. We highly recommend Kerry to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property. He is very passionate about his profession. Kerry wants to establish a relationship that goes beyond just doing business. Kerry is like a good friend because he is there when you need him. He's also an advisor who will guide you in the right direction. In Kerry, you will find a Realtor for life.

“I tried selling with another Realtor and I couldn’t get the price I wanted.  I got frustrated…so I tried selling on my own for 2 months.  I got low ball offers for under $1,100,000 verbally but not officially on paper.  Then I met Kerry… Kerry SOLD my home for $1,170,000.  He exceeded my expectations and got me an extra $34,970 net in my pocket and sold it in less than 30 days.

I highly recommend Kerry to any FOR SALE BY OWNER that wants to net more money in their pocket.  He has proven to me that he is a true professional and is a great negotiator. “

We interviewed 10 Realtors until we chose Kerry.  He was very professional and took the time to go through our home and answered all the questions we had. He suggested we should declutter and stage our house to show at its full potential. Kerry’s marketing plan was outstanding, and he communicated with us from start to finish.  We received 18 offers on our property and received $225,000 over asking price.  Our home was chosen and printed in the “Toronto Life” magazine's September 2012 issue of “House Wars” as the highest sold price over asking.  Words cannot express how happy we are with Kerry.
