Buyers’ Checklist

Buying a home is a big decision – whether it’s your first home or a vacation home. To help you make smart decisions, it’s important to think with your head and not your heart. The Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) shares their tips for being home smart when you’re in the market to buy.


  • Do your homework. Get informed about the buying process, before it begins, to save time, hassle and money.
  • Shop around. Don’t be tempted to hire the first real estate professional you meet. Make sure the fit is right, check their references and visit the RECO website to confirm their registration.
  • Get it in writing. If your real estate professional offers you rebates or incentives, they should provide the details in writing.
  • Understand what you’re signing. Before you sign a buyer representation agreement, make sure you know what it means, how long it will be in effect and what the different clauses mean. Ask questions and seek independent legal advice if you’d like a second opinion.
  • Keep budget in mind:
    • Remember to include legal fees, land transfer tax, mortgage insurance and utility hookups in your total cost.
    • Know the costs of a home inspection and home appraisal or survey.
    • Moving costs can vary based on volume, distance and whether you hire a professional mover. Have wiggle room in your budget to cover the cost.
  • Protect yourself. Make your offer conditional on mortgage financing, a home inspection, the sale of your existing home, and/or other factors that are important to you. These conditions provide you important protection as a buyer.
  • Check what’s inside the walls. Ask your real estate professional to look into the age and condition of the home’s systems, such as the plumbing and electrical. Find out if proper permits were pulled for any renovations. Consider a home inspection to further examine the home and don’t hesitate to ask questions.
  • Be specific. Make your offer as detailed as possible. Outline what will be included with the sale (e.g., appliances and light fixtures) and be clear if certain renovations need to be completed, based on the home inspection.
  • Plan ahead. If you encounter a bidding war, enter with a strategy. Set ground rules in advance about what you want from a home, what you’re willing to spend and what conditions must be met. Once your rules are set, stick to them. When there are competing offers it can be tempting to waive your conditions (such as a home inspection). Think twice before doing this.
  • Expect the unexpected. Does your closing date on your new home align with when you need to move out of your existing home? Have a contingency plan in place in case the dates don’t match up.


  • A registered real estate professional can help you navigate the many steps and decisions involved in the home buying process.

Clients LOVE Simplified Real Estate:


Better late than never! I want to send a big thank you to everyone who helped out with my (semi-) recent move. I am well settled into my new condo and enjoying the first few months of home ownership. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing Realtor, Candy Kroeger. She had to spend a LOT of evenings and weekends with me as I searched for a home during an exceptionally difficult time to buy. She never once pressured me, or discouraged me from trusting my gut. She is kind, patient, fun, and super smart. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking to buy in Ottawa

Matthew
First Time Home Buyer

We met Candy 14 years ago when we decided to buy our first home. The experience was unforgettable, so now all these years later, we had no problem calling on an old friend to sell the house, as it was time to move on. Candy made the whole selling process easy . We sold our house after just 2 showings! Amazing!! If you need someone to help with real estate, please call Candy. She will help you with your dream!

Scott and Annette
Selling a home

Candy Kroeger was the real estate agent for the sale of my father’s house. It was a stressful time for me and my family, but I needn’t have worried. Candy made the entire process so easy and seamless. She went above and beyond with recommendations for outside help emptying and preparing the house for sale. In addition, because of her expert advice and her knowledge of the area and the market, we sold and had a closing date within a month of listing! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Candy — she is quite simply the best!

A MacNeill
Selling a home

14 years ago Candy helped us sell our first home. She gave us great advice on how to prepare our home for sale and guided us through the process of buying our next home. Our home sold fast and the whole process was stress free thanks to Candy. So of course we called her when it was time to sell and purchase another home. The market has changed in 14 years and Candy gave us valuable advice. Again it was a seamless process and we are very happy in our new home. We recommended Candy to family who have also used her services multiple times.

Louise and Al
Selling and buying a home

Candy, what a pleasure it was working with you! Your professionalism is to be admired; at all times you keep me abreast of offers, changes, additions, deletions and not once did I feel left out of the loop concerning my house. Being a widow, putting the house up for sale was a huge decision and you put my fears to rest and guided me painlessly through the process. Thank you so much for your advice, patience and kindness.

Lynne
Selling a home

Candy has now helped us buy a house and sell one. Her expertise, pro activity and professional advice were of incredible value throughout the whole process and resulted in our house selling quickly. She was truly amazing at planning ahead and taking the time to assist us with everything. We highly recommend Candy to anyone who wants to buy or sell a property. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. Again, thank you so much Candy, you've secured our future purchase when we move back to Ottawa

Éliane & Mathieu
Selling a home

We were referred to Candy by a friend. Little did we know that we were getting a very professional, well-organized agent, who would fulfill our every need! From day one, she took the lead and guided us through each and every step. Within a couple of months she not only sold our house but found us the exact house we wanted to buy! She also has a great team of honest and knowledgable inspectors that work along with her. We appreciate all the hard working hours that Candy spent with us & will miss her genuine caring attitude too.

Sharon & Rod, Kaysi & Lionel
Selling and buying a home

Before meeting Candy, my wife and I had attempted to sell our home twice within three years using a different agent each time with no success. We started thinking that maybe our house just couldn't be sold, until we decided to try one last time with Candy as our agent. From the very first day we met, Candy went from stranger to friend, and someone who genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision. Within a week our house was photographed beautifully and listed on multiple websites. We had a showing the very next day after it was listed, and a conditional offer the day after that. Our house was sold one week after being listed, thanks to Candy, and that was something my wife and I never thought could happen after our previous experience with other agents. So it goes without saying, that I would recommend Candy to absolutely anyone thinking of selling or buying a home in the near future.

Hussein & Dominique
Selling a home

When I was ready to sell my house and downsize to a condo unit, a friend suggested that I meet with Candy who had helped her through a similar process.

I have been extremely pleased with Candy’s efforts on my behalf, both during the preparation and sale of my house, and in recommending condo units that would suit my needs. I ultimately purchased a beautiful unit in a building that I probably never would have considered without her guidance. I am very happy with the work she did for me, and would recommend her services without hesitation.

Arthur
Selling a home and buying a condo

Since 2010, Candy has helped us buy two houses and sell one. Her advice and expertise helped us sell our house quickly while others in our neighbourhood stayed on the market for months We are grateful for all the help Candy gave us. She treated us like we were her own family and would definitely recommend her to our friends.

Joey & Mylene
Buying and selling a home

We met Candy by chance, while looking at a local house for sale. We were impressed with her honesty in telling us this was not the right house for our family. A few weeks later, when we firmly decided to sell our current home, that honesty came to mind, and we gave her a call. She found a buyer for our fixer-upper in a few weeks, then found a new home that will continue to fit our family as our kids grow (one that we wouldn't have considered when looking on our own), and ably co-ordinated the negotiations and paperwork between us and the sellers. Candy really steered us in the right direction, and is still right there to help as we prepare to move.

Karen & Kelly
Buying and selling a home

Candy has now helped us buy two houses, and sell one. Her expertise and professional advice was incredibly valuable in selling our house quickly, for close to our asking price, all in a challenging market. Candy took great care of us, always responded quickly to our needs, and kept us fully informed about what was happening and what to expect. Thank you Candy!

Michael & Vivian
Selling a home

Buying a home is certainly a major undertaking but it is even more intimidating for a first time buyer. Happily, I was extremely fortunate in being guided through this process by Candy. She arranged viewings to suit my schedule and was sensitive to my needs. Her positive attitude and competence put me at ease and eventually led me to finding just what I wanted. She handled a rather complicated closing with skill and expertise. I recommend Candy to anyone who needs the service of a knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking agent.

J. Potts
First time home buyer

Candy Kroeger was truly amazing in helping us to locate and purchase our first home! She took the time in the beginning to sit us down and explain her services, and also asked us direct questions to get a feeling of what we were looking for and where (location); eliminating many listings and saving us all a lot of time.

After reviewing our information, she sent us several listings that matched our criteria, and we picked our favorites from the list to view. Candy made herself available for viewings/meetings/questions when we needed her and happily worked around our busy schedules, which we very much appreciated. Once we found our dream home (the first one we ended up viewing) Candy got to work contacting the sellers' agent and prepared the necessary paperwork. She also set up our home inspection with a trusted and qualified inspector and worked closely with our Bank Manager to ensure our financing was completed on time.

Within a few days, we closed the deal and we became homeowners! Being first time buyers, we were completely unaware of the processes needed to finalize the purchase between us and the sellers, the bank and the lawyers. Thankfully Candy was there to guide us the whole way through, and checked up on us regularly to ensure everything was proceeding in a timely manner.

We highly recommend Candy Kroeger to everyone, buying or selling property, as she truly cares about her clients and ensures your needs (and wants) are taken care of!

Thanks again Candy! You most certainly have secured our future business!

Matt & Ivita
First Time Home Buyers

Candy was highly recommended to us by a mutual friend. From our first communication with Candy we felt very comfortable with her and as a result, we were able to be relaxed with the whole process. We had some pretty basic needs and wants that we required for our new home, as well as a few more challenging ones. She gladly met them all. Candy found, showed, and carried us through the whole purchasing process of our new home within weeks. Yes, I said weeks! We started on Dec 03-2012 and had a closing date on Jan 07-2013. And don't forget...there was a week of holidays within that timeline She also recommended a home inspector and lawyer that we were very happy with. What can we say, "Candy is amazing"! We trusted her completely with our real estate needs and now not only is she our agent for life, but she's become a trusted friend.

S & J Dacey.
Purchasing a Home

As a 23-year old renter, I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the process of looking for my first home. I knew that I was ready for home-ownership, but cringed at the thought of investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into a property.

That’s where Candy came in.

Candy had a listing in a building that I had always been interested in and I contacted her to view it. We immediately hit it off! Not only did I feel comfortable with her, but I could tell that she was being straightforward, and that she genuinely had everyone’s best interests at heart – a rare find in a real estate agent looking to sell a property.

I ultimately fell in love with the unit and, as I wasn’t working with a realtor at the time, I asked if she would be able to represent me (as well as the seller) throughout the transaction. She accepted, but first ensured that I understood the pros and cons of double-representation; what exactly her position would be, and what she could and couldn’t do for me while representing both parties equally. I appreciated her honesty, and felt comfortable moving forward.

In the end, I could not have been happier with how things went. Candy was reliable, efficient, and approachable throughout the entire home-buying process, and truly made the experience an enjoyable one. She walked me through every detail of the transaction, checked in often, and answered all my questions along the way. I feel that she represented both me and the seller in a fair and professional manner, and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.
I would like to thank you, Candy, for helping me lose my property virginity!

Stephanie G.
First-time Home Buyer

A few years ago Candy was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with the results. I first contacted Candy a few years ago as a first time home buyer and just recently as a seller.  I had no idea about the process of buying or selling a condo and Candy made it easy. She took the time to explain the process to me and answered all of my questions. She was able to provide me with some financial advice as well as recommending a lawyer and home inspector. She was always in contact with me during the whole process so that I knew what was going on and what to expect next. Candy is very professional, knowledgeable, honest and caring, she has your best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Candy to anyone who was looking for a realtor. She is very dedicated to her clients and will always make time for you.

N Petit
Selling a condo

We were in the process of helping our Mom downsize and move from the country back into the city. We began with researching for a buyer's real estate agent, and as many people do, we turned to the internet to find what we were looking for. After reviewing many agents' profiles and testimonials, we found Candy Kroeger's website. There were countless numbers of positive feedback from satisfied clients, so we decided to take a chance on Candy. From day one, she surpassed our expectations! She was very knowledgable, actively listened to our needs, and provided feedback and support during the search for the right property for our Mom. We would highly recommend Candy to our friends and family. She is now considered to be a friend and we will always be thankful to her for her strong sense of positivity and the high level of support that she provided to us. And by the way, our Mom loves her new place!

E and S Plaunt
Purchasing a condo

I was not looking forward to the whole experience of buying and moving and then I met Candy. She has a very friendly outgoing personality and was easy to speak with right from the start. Immediately we hit it off and it has been like having a friend who is also a real estate expert. I believe she has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction with the inevitable purchase and related process. We stay in touch and she continues to provide support and kind advice long after others would have turned and run. Thanks again, Candy!

M Monette
Happy new home owner

We really appreciate the services Candy provided to us and we would not hesitate to refer her to friends and family in the future. She did an extraordinary job and we absolutely love our new home!

D Holdrinet and J Hodgson
Purchasing a home

I’ve known Candy for 30 years, both as a colleague and a friend. When my wife and I decided to retire and move back to Ottawa I had no hesitation in enlisting her professional help. Good choice! Candy provided great advice and consistently went the extra mile, always willing to help regardless of the day or time. We`re very happy with our new home. Thank you, Candy!

C & D Cooper
Purchasing a home

Thanks for all the help through the buying process. We had a fairly stress free time...as stress free as making the largest purchase of your life can be. Your caring and professional approach to your job certainly made this huge step in our life a lot easier for us. We also had lots of confidence in the recommendations that you made, which helps a great deal when you do not know anybody that provides any of the services you require to buy a house.

We'll also be sure to tell any of our friends who are looking into buying a place about the fantastic services you provided us. Thanks, again!

C Stevens and J Thibeault
First Time Home Buyers

We sincerely appreciate the huge role Candy played in the purchase of our first home. She offered honest advice and information that was invaluable throughout the process. We were able to utilize her network of professionals that really made the process easy and stress free. She was respectful of our busy schedules when booking showings and was punctual every time! We couldn't be more thrilled with our choice in Candy!

D Yarema and C Pereira
First Time Home Buyers

I would like to express my deepest appreciation for your patience and professionalism while helping my son and his family with their house search. I am convinced that you are the only real estate agent in all of Ottawa who could have dealt with them in such a fine way. Your many years of experience in dealing with people excelled. They are very pleased with their new house and looking forward to the renovations and their move to Ottawa. The house is really beautiful and the area is ideal. They were very impressed with your service and that of the inspector you recommended. My son and daughter-in-law told me that you are the greatest! Thank you so much for everything.

M Comeau
Mother of Home Buyers

Thank you for all of the hard work you put into ensuring that our house deal went through smoothly. You clearly mapped out the process to us in advance and then took care of each step of the purchase. We appreciate your advice and efforts and found you very pleasant to work with. We would highly recommend you.

L Henry and L Broeren
Buying a Home

I first met Candy two and half years ago when she helped my buy my first home. Candy was optimistic, professional and provided me with personalized service beyond the purchase of my home. I was so impressed with Candy that two and a half years later, I called her once again; this time, to sell my condo. Once again, Candy came through as I trusted she would! In selling my apartment, Candy worked diligently and took care of all the details. She carefully explained the steps involved in selling a home, gave me tips to improve the property’s curb appeal, and she totally went above and beyond my expectations. The result - my apartment sold only a few days after being on the market and for more than the asking price! Needless to say that Candy is very knowledgeable of the real estate market in Ottawa, but her best quality is that she shows genuine interest in meeting the needs of her clients. Candy is such a lovely lady; her kindness, attention to detail, and dedication made selling my apartment a painless experience! I have highly recommended her to friends/colleagues and will continue to recommend her services in the future. To anybody looking to buy/sell a home – call Candy. You won’t regret it!

H Aguilar
Selling a Home

We used Candy's services to purchase our first home and we found her to be a very patient, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable real estate agent. Although it took a little while for our family to decide on which home to buy, with Candy's help we found the ideal home and we are really enjoying it!

The Resendiz family
First Time Home Buyers

When I started formally searching for a condo, I asked a number of my friends and co-workers for the names of the agents that they had used when purchasing their homes. I looked into each and interviewed several. During my initial meeting with Candy she presented me with a folder filled with a variety of information including all the specific costs for each service required along throughout the process. Throughout the search process, she provided me with a wide variety of properties and let me decide on which to see. She never pressured me to see or purchase any particular condo, but was still able to point out the high and low points of each. I have been more than happy to recommend her to other friends and co-workers who have been asking me the same questions I asked my friends at the start of the process.

D Kipp
First Time Home Buyer

It was a pleasure working with Candy. She is very friendly and approachable. Candy took the stress out of selling our home. She took care of every detail and came up with the best sales plan for us. Due to her knowledge and understanding of the real estate market, our home sold quickly. All of her advice was sound and she certainly went above and beyond what we had expected. Candy kept us well informed of all activity and her prompt service was always appreciated. We could not have asked for a better realtor and we highly recommend her!

N & D Bandoro
Selling a Home

I had heard comments about Candace Kroeger such as: "There are real estate agents and there is Candace Kroeger who is in a class of her own!" I had the opportunity to experience the high level of professional service and assistance she provides when I recently sold my house. From the counsel she gave about  preparing my house for market to the actual closing of the sale itself, everything was easy and explained in detail. All the details were taken care of quietly and efficiently. All I had to do was show up a few times to sign paperwork! Based on my experience, it is true what they say: Candace Kroeger is in a class of her own!! 

D Beaudry
Selling a Home

After being discouraged at the high cost of renting, I decided to see if I could afford to buy. A neighbour put me in touch with Candy Kroeger. Not only did she make the experience educational but lots of fun as well. She patiently  explained the differences, advantages and disadvantage of buying a condominium versus a freehold property. She methodically went over the mortgage process and closing costs until she was sure I understood everything.  She provided names of different lawyers whose expertise was in condo sales and dealing with first time home buyers.  Even though my price range was a challenge, Candy was never discouraging.  She was upbeat and supportive through the whole process and as excited as I was when we found the perfect place for me. Candy was great and I hope she helps many more first time home buyers like me. 

A Lewis
First Time Home Buyer

I can't thank Candy enough for making the entire process for my daughter, Amanda, a positive one. I think I was probably the most nervous of all of us, worrying about whether Amanda would be able to manage on her own.  Candy showed Amanda lots of potential homes, pointing out the positives and negatives of each one. I liked that she said a definite "no" to one that was without doubt a "fixer upper" despite the listing agent's glowing description of it...because she was thinking about all the work her Dad and I would be faced with to bring it up to par!  What really impressed me was the time and patience Candy had for our daughter.  She is really great at what she does, and we hope she keeps up the good work in building a solid reputation for the real estate profession.  When it comes time for us to sell our home, we will not hesitate to list with her! 

L Lewis
Mother of a First Time Home Buyer

Candy made our house selling and house buying experience an easy one!  She is knowledgeable, her service is amazing, and she is truly a patient and kind individual.  She kept in constant contact with us and took care of all the small details so that we could concentrate on our purchase and our sale.  Candy truly wants what's best for you and your family!  Due to her kindness, integrity, and impeccable service, we will use her services again and would gladly refer her to anyone!

N and J Chalmers,
Selling a Home

We recently purchased a home through Candace which was our fourth house. Needless to say, we have dealt with quite a variety of real estate agents over the years and Candy was by far the best in all aspects. Her sense of humour, attention to detail and genuine interest in her clients make her the right choice when looking for excellent representation in real estate.

Mr & Mrs C Richer
Buying a Home

Candy came to us highly recommended and, from our very first meeting, it was obvious why. Candy is refreshingly honest and straightforward, and has an excellent grasp of the real estate market. She offered us tips on how to make our house more appealing to buyers by increasing its "wow" factor and curb appeal. She was in regular contact with us, which was important, and she was always on top of what was happening in the local real estate market. She worked hard behind the scenes, following up with other agents who had shown the house (more than once if necessary) and promoting the house to other agents whose clients might be interested. The house showed well on the Internet and received a lot of hits - we know because Candy has a fantastic feedback system that includes comments from potential buyers and their agents, statistics and information regarding activity on the Internet listing. We were told that we would get results with Candy, and we did. Now that the SOLD sign has gone up, Candy leaves us the same way she came - highly recommended!

M & S Tanner
Selling a Home

This was our first experience buying a house and we were pretty intimidated, but Candy was amazing! She came to our house, made sure that we understood exactly what was involved throughout the entire process and really took the time to make sure we got the house that was right for us. She never pressured us and was always very candid when answering our questions. We were very impressed by her professionalism and willingness to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, refusing to let us settle for anything less. Thanks for helping us find the perfect house Candy!

N Poulin & M Richer
First Time Home Buyers

Now that our house hunting trip is over and we have had some time to get our bearings in Ottawa, we wanted to say how impressed we were with our real estate agent, Candace Kroeger. Candy was, in a word, outstanding! She demonstrated excellent planning and scheduling skills and was totally responsive to our needs every step of the way. Candy's expertise and no pressure approach was invaluable during the purchasing process. Even when we hit a couple of administrative snags, she was so patient; it really helped to reduce our stress. Our favorite thing about her is that she made the house hunting process FUN. We loved it that she treated us like friends rather than clients. Candy really went out of her way to help us settle into our new community. For example, after finding out that Jim has to follow a special needs diet, she spent her evenings researching restaurants that offer gluten free meals. Every morning she presented us with a list of restaurants and recipes. Thanks to Candy, Jim was able to eat pizza in a restaurant for the first time in seven years! It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and we will happily recommend her to anyone relocating to Ottawa.

Just wanted to express our thanks and gratitude for all your help with the sale of our home. Your service was exceptional and your guidance was worth every penny. We sold for 99% of the asking price and received professional service that surpassed all previous experiences with real estate agents. Your brochures, referrals to key partners (legal, moving, financing), and overall marketing of our townhouse was superb. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to everyone we know!

L Mimassi & G El-Khoury
Selling a Home

I was fortunate to find Candy...she was selling a property that I was interested in but unfortunately (for me) it was already conditionally sold. She asked if she could be on any other assistance...and well, yes! She took care of me right from that moment on. She listened to what I needed and gently guided me back on track when I became frustrated or veered from my goal. It was because her being so aware of my specific needs and financial limits that we were able to find the perfect home and community for my daughter and me. Candy guided me step by step through the whole process. I had no surprises along the way and everything went through like clockwork. It is because of her knowledge, caring persistence, and personal touches that I will strongly recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone who is reading this!

S Bodkin

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family. I have never seen a house sell so fast! Your professionalism was a pleasure to deal with. Our house sale was stress free and everything went smoothly thanks to your handling every detail that needed to be taken care. I will definitely be calling you when I am ready to buy or sell again and I will certainly give your name to anyone I know that is in need of selling or purchasing. Take care and have a great summer!

R Taylor
Selling a Home

Just a quick note to say thank you for your help in the sale of our home. Your advice on pricing, presentation, and the creation of a beautiful colour feature sheet all contributed to a speedy sale. Although we found the initial preparations and subsequent showings of our home to be somewhat stressful, your positive attitude and hard work was greatly appreciated. Thanks again! 

J & J Harbord
Selling a Home 

Our experience working with you was phenomenal! You are so professional and personable. We felt an immediate connection with you after our first meeting and we knew we had selected a great agent to help us with our biggest purchase ever. Your honesty and integrity are something that we greatly respect. We experienced a few difficulties along the way and you went beyond the call of duty to help get them resolved. We couldn't be happier because we ended up with the house of our dreams. We will (and have already) recommended your services to everyone we know. Thank you so much!!

L Vailliant & G Sachs
First Time Home Buyers

Candy's personal qualities of enthusiasm, honesty, integrity and good judgement equip her with the natural ability to do a good job. The personal interest she takes in her clients leaves them feeling that they have a strong ally to assist them through what is often a stressful time. Candy was an absolute pleasure to work with and took very good care of us. It is difficult when you are moving to a new city that you are completely unfamiliar with. Candy was so knowledgeable and she quickly became familiar with what we were looking for. She provided a broad spectrum of choices and we are very happy with our new house, which is fabulous! We would recommend Candy to anyone relocating to Ottawa. We feel lucky to have had her working with us. Any vendor or purchaser would be pleased with their decision to engage this amazing woman as their Realtor.

We were very fortunate to have you as our agent for our relocation back to Ottawa. Relocations can be quite difficult and stressful when you need to find that perfect home in a very tight timeframe. You were very helpful in showing us many homes and would not pressure us into deciding on something that was not right for us. Although we had done a lot of research and had certain things in mind, you always seemed to come through with a few more excellent choices. In fact, it was your hard work and research that found the house we eventually chose - and we are very happy to say it was the right one! Most of all, it was your warm, friendly style and positive outlook that kept us at ease and made the house hunting a very pleasant, and in the end, entirely satisfying experience. We would not hesitate to ask for you again if the need be, or to recommend you to anyone that is interested in buying or selling a home. Once again, thanks for everything!

After having been out of the country for 25 years, Candy was patient, imaginative and professional when we were searching for a new home in Ottawa. In all we viewed 45 houses (hence the patience!). Candy insists that she help you find the house that 'wows' you, nothing less will do - she never pushes or tries to convince you to buy anything other than your perfect house. She is helpful, easy to talk to, a real friend. We thoroughly recommend her services.

Being nervous, and not knowing what to expect as first time home buyers, Candace helped us immensely, going step-by-step and explaining the whole buying process. When we were looking for our home, she was patient and very thorough in selecting the houses that met our criteria. We are now proud owners of our love nest...oops, we mean, new home. Thank you!

It has been a great pleasure working with you. We really appreciated your friendliness and honesty. As first time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect or where to start. After talking with you for the first time, we knew that you would be the right agent for us. We were very impressed with your knowledge, degree of professionalism, dedication to your work and integrity. All those qualities, along with your contagious enthusiasm, allowed us to buy a single family house within six weeks at at a price we were pleased with. We would highly recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you so much for everything, Candy!
