The referral of your friends, family, and acquaintances is the greatest compliment you can give me. Thanks to all my wonderful and loyal clients for your ongoing trust and support. Much appreciated!!

Candy      

 

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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. 

Amanda 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!

I first met Candy when I asked her to add my name to her mailing list for next year's calendars. I was impressed with her knowledge of the market and the Hunt Club area. As soon as she agreed to sell our house, she immediately put together a smart information package and then got vigorously involved in reviewing the feedback comments with me. After 7 days we accepted and offer which was to become in fact the only one we needed. Fantastic work by Candy, she's a real champion, and I hope still get a calendar!

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!

Noreen and Jarrett Chalmers,
Selling a Home

I want to thank Candy for helping me find my wonderful new condo! The process of buying a home can be quite intimidating for a first time home buyer, but Candy was very helpful right from the beginning. She first explained to me all the steps involved in purchasing a home and once we started our search, she provided me only with options that fit my needs.  Before long, I found the home that was just right for me. Candy is also such a LOVELY lady; she provided me with personalized service from beginning to end and was constantly looking out for my best interest when evaluating different options. In summary, she made my home buying experience very positive and less stressful because I trusted that, with her help, I would eventually find exactly what I was looking for. To potential clients, I just want to say that with Candy you will be in good hands and she will provide you with the support you need until you find the perfect 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.

We were really happy to work with Candy when selling our previous house. She was extremely professional and sincere in what she was doing.  Her after sales service exceeded all our expectations.  Try her... you will never regret it!

Enenita & Edwin Francisco

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!

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!

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!

Lynn Mimassi & George El-Khoury

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!

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!

Robin Taylor

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! 

Jennifer & Jim Harbord

We recently moved to the Bahamas, which necessitated the need to sell our house in Ottawa rather quickly. Through Candy's hard work and perseverance, she was able to sell our house in 5 weeks, with a short closing date, and for within 3% of our asking price! We would offer our strongest recommendation to use Candy Kroeger's services, should anyone need a smart, dedicated, and results oriented Real Estate Agent!

Fran & John Spinks

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!!

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.

Lee & Ryan Paquette
Purchasing a Home

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!

Elise Rouette & Ken Kirkhope

We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your great help in starting and successfully completing the purchase of our new home! Everything went very well and very smoothly and was completed in very good time. Candy, you did an excellent job in successfully accomplishing this task. Your help and assistance is truly appreciated. We will surely keep in contact with you for future assistance. 

Bandana & Phil Rai

We can't thank you enough for all of your help with buying our first home. You've been great! We have friends who are thinking of buying something this fall and we'll definitely give them your number. Once again, a big thanks.

 Ana & Arturo Aguilar
First Time Home Buyers

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.

Kathy & Richard Day
Purchasing a Home

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!

Marilyn & Dominic Thauvette
First Time Home Buyers

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!

We were really happy to work with Candy on our purchase of a condominium. She was extremely responsive and sincere....and her after sales service exceeded all our expectations. We would definitely seek her out to engage her services again!.

We LOVE our new house and the neighbourhood! We really appreciate the job you have done for us. Thank you.

Nathalie & Eric Thauvette

At Candy's suggestion, we put in new flooring, painted, installed three new windows, replaced a cracked toilet and had our furnace and air conditioner serviced. It cost us $4000, but the house sold in just five days for about $15,000 more than it would have otherwise. We are very pleased with the results!

Louise and Alan Regalbutto

Thank you so much for everything you did for me while selling my house. I will never forget your kindness and hard work. I've told all my friends that if they ever need an awesome agent to call Candy Kroeger.
