CLIENT REVIEWS

This is the first time we have placed a home on the market in Ontario, and from the beginning we received careful and detailed guidance from André.  At no time did we experience any undue pressure.  When it came to setting a price, we independently arrived at the same figure as he, and this proved to be so attractive that we sold within a day of André's board going up. He also went out of his way to help us meet practical needs, such as disposing of unwanted items as we prepared for an international move. From our initial conversation to the final legal closing, Andre achieved a totally comfortable and happy time for us. - Elizabeth & David Cuthbert, Oakville.

We have worked with Andre on two occasions and found that his in-depth knowledge of the real estate profession, market and financial acumen, enabled him to give us absolutely outstanding service. We highly recommend Andre to provide you with a full range of value added real estate services, and guarantee that you will be completely satisfied. - Martin & Jeanette Scholtz, Oakville

We were privileged to use André’s services to successfully sell our house and buy a condo, the latter a new experience for us. This process spanned over a period of about two years; at first in a declining sellers’ market and then in the trying time of the Covid lockdown.

He lives out his philosophy that the client is not just a number. Any question on our part was addressed thoroughly, patiently and with honesty, always as soon as possible. We never doubted his integrity, where he would strive to find the best outcome for us, but never at the expense of the party on the other side of the table. He showed true character in 2018, when we were unable to sell the house in a falling market, by not pressuring us to sell at a reduced, undervalued amount. We certainly benefited from his advice to perhaps withdraw the house from the market at that time and wait out the uncertainty.

He showed continuous interest in a successful outcome for us, from the very beginning to weeks after completion of the move. For example, where we had questions not related to the property transaction (e.g. heat pump noise in the condo), he went out of his way to propose alternative approaches to find the answers and pointing us to potential resources.

He won our confidence early in the journey, with his calm and assertive demeanour, which is rooted in a varied business career and profound knowledge of the real estate industry.

We would not hesitate to recommend André to anyone who would consider making use of his services.

André was very helpful particularly during the Covid situation. He was patient, kind and showed an excellent sense of humor. We went through a number of scenarios and eventually the one that he recommended was the one we used. It resulted in an excellent number of visits and a great selling price. I also happen to recommend André to one of my relatives and she was very pleased also with her results. I highly recommend André for anyone who is looking for someone to take the time and ensure the customer comes first!

I was nervous about relocating to a new city, but André's knowledge and reassurance put my mind at ease. He committed to finding us our perfect home. He was patient, spent the time and reviewed all of our options. The whole process went very smoothly and we ended up with a great home at a great price for our family. I highly recommend André.

Last summer I had the opportunity to meet André Smit, when I enlisted him to sell my home. He kept me up to date on all the details of selling my home. He was always punctual and gave his honest opinion, whenever I asked him any questions. After the sale of my home, our business relationship did not end. He had promised me from the beginning, that once my house was sold, he would help me look for a new home to move in to. He kept that promise. He took me to see several properties, picking me up at my home. He did all the negotiations for my new home.

Selling your home is mentally and emotionally exhausting, and André took a lot of the burden from me, by handling small or large details. I don't think I would have gotten through the whole process without his help. He was always there for me. I highly recommend him for his professional attitude, experience and loyalty. He also has a great sense of humor! - Nancy Neill, Oakville
