clients I have had the pleasure of doing business with.
Letters of Reference

My wife and I recently moved from Manitoba to the
Newmarket/Stouffville area. In searching for a realtor in Ontario, I found
Maureen*s web page on the internet and made a cold call to her office.
After our first phone conversation, I knew we were in good hands.
Our needs were quite specific in that we were looking for an equestrian
facility. Prior to arriving in Ontario to start our search for a new home,
Maureen stayed in frequent contact with us to keep us current on the market
conditions. This extra information helped educate us and made us better
prepared as home buyers.
When we arrived in Newmarket to begin our search, she looked after us with
everything from coffee in the morning to providing detailed feature sheets
of each property that we visited. Maureen spared no effort in searching out
homes that met our needs and saw to it that we visited each facility that
interested us. Although we had some long days, Maureen worked tirelessly on
our behalf.
Aside from her obvious skills as a real estate agent, Maureen*s strength is
her dedication to her clients. There was no doubt in our minds that we were
her number one priority. Coupled with her keen sense of humour, she made
the home buying experience an easy one and injected a little fun along the
way.
We would recommend Maureen to anyone in need of a real estate agent.

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for all
your help with our properties. We have moved twice, with your help, and are
really happy with our new home. It is really cozy and close to all our
shopping needs but also the farm where our horses are. Moving can always be
very stressful, especially buying and selling, arranging financing and all
the other things that go along with it, but you made it all seem very easy.
Ron and I really appreciate and thank you for all your knowledge and
expertise but most importantly your kindness and friendship. You can count
on a recommendation from us to all of our family and friends. Wishing you
and your lovely family, Happy Thanksgiving,
Cathy Williams
As a purchaser of real estate who has seen more than one
transaction made and having had the opportunity to deal with a number of
realtors, I can say categorically that Maureen Marsiglio has been the most
diligent, friendly and hard working realtor I have had the pleasure to meet.
Maureen was able to ascertain the needs of both myself and my family down to
the individual and took this into account with the homes we inspected. She
worked tirelessly until we found the right house, and it is my dream house!
Always positive with a friendly attitude, in my experience, you will find
Maureen providing over-and-above for all her clients and I can't expect or
desire more.

I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and persistence
in helping us find a house that worked for both of us. Although my
husband and I were certainly a challenge because we had differing
opinions on what the 'perfect' house was, you always kept your
patience and your sense of humour. Regardless of how many houses we
asked to see from our own MLS searches and the listings you supplied
to us, you never gave up hope.
The one trait that makes you different from other real estate agents
is your honesty. Not only did you point out imperfections in houses,
you were able to walk into a house and immediately determine whether
or not it would work for our family. You never tried to 'sell' us
on any one house. We never felt pressured by you, nor did we ever
feel rushed.
We also had quite a few crazy laughs throughout the whole process,
especially when trying to sell our condo. There really are some
strange people out there!!
Our family thanks you for all the time you spent with us and
appreciate your expertise and professionalism. It really helped
make the selling/buying process less painful.
I look forward to having you and your husband over for dinner and
drinks once we have finished our renovations and have settled down a
bit.
Thanks again for all your help!

Maureen “moved” me. She went way beyond,
what others consider good service!
Mrs. FD
Choosing Maureen to help us find a house was the best decision we
made. We always knew she had our best interests in mind. She was
always an email or phone call away for any questions we had, and we
had lots! She quickly became a friend and our house hunting was fun
because we were hanging out with a friend who just happened to be
helping us buy a house as well. How many people can say they look
forward to seeing their real estate agent? In some ways we were sad
to find the house we were looking for because it meant spending less
time on a regular basis with Maureen.
We cannot say enough good things about working with Maureen. She
is professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She answered
questions no matter what they were. She answered the same questions
multiple times when we didn’t understand. She made sure we
understood and were comfortable with everything before moving onto
the next stage.
We knew we would make good decisions with her guidance.
Her honesty and hard work is appreciated more than we can ever
say. If we ever decide to move again, she will be the first person
we call.

Working with Maureen Marsiglio to
sell our condominium has been an absolute pleasure. She's always been
quick to respond to requests and to provide information, providing
tremendous depth of knowledge on even the most obvious questions. Her
no-fuss, common-sense approach to preparing a property for sale allowed
us to maximize the value of our home without having to invest in massive
upgrades or renovations.
She explained the process perfectly and made sure we were comfortable at
every step before proceeding. Her sense of humour and understanding are
remarkable, and just to top things off, she got our condo sold within 24
hours of the first showing. Who could ask for anything more? She's now
in the process of helping us find our very first "home!"
She's gained another pair of clients for life, and a couple of friends
to boot!

Maureen was a pleasure to work with. We found her web site and Home Wish List
very effective.
When we met Maureen for the first time (after completing the Home Wish List),
she was ready with a complete list of houses that met our criteria.
There was no wasted time. We were able to narrow down our search and minimize
the number of houses we looked at before finding the house we fell in love
with.
Maureen was very amicable and we connected with her immediately. She genuinely
cared about our needs and worked for our best interests. We were treated with
priority and respect.
Not only did we find ourselves a great real-estate agent, but we found
ourselves a lovely new friend.
Sincerely,
Deniz and Michael

We take this opportunity to send you this letter, as a token of our deep
appreciation for all your hard work, care, dedication and professionalism.
You impressed us every step of the way, sold our home in Bradford in less than
one week, and helped us find our new home in Mississauga. Maureen was
always available, and was very prompt in keeping us informed about potential
buyers after each showing. She has incredible enthusiasm, warmth and
honesty. We had more than a real estate agent, we had a friend who cared
about us, and our real estate needs.
The combination of her personality, professionalism, knowledge of the real
estate market, and marketing approach ensured a quick and smooth transaction,
for both the sale of our home in Bradford, and the purchase of our new home.
Maureen was a pleasure to work with, and she is simply the best. We
would very strongly recommend Maureen to anyone who is in the market to sell
or buy a home.

It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation. We really
appreciated Maureen's friendliness and honesty. As first time home buyers we
had no idea what to expect or where to start.
We came across Maureen's web site and filled out her 'Home Wish List'. We
found it to be very user friendly and allowed us to put in exactly what we
desired in a home. The very next morning Maureen responded and included a list
of properties for us to review. They all matched our requirements and we were
very surprised at the excellent selection of properties.
After meeting Maureen, we knew that she would be the agent for us. She
understood that we were looking for a home not a house. At the beginning we
had a lot of questions and called Maureen often. She always called us back and
found out the answers to our questions. We had no doubt that she was working
solely in our best interest. We never felt we were working with a sales
person.
Maureen did find us our dream home. Due to Maureen's professionalism and
interpersonal skills our offer was accepted a mere 2 hours after presenting
the offer. We couldn't believe it was so easy. It was such a pleasure to work
with someone who exudes warmth and has integrity. I would have no reservations
to recommend Maureen to anyone wishes to buy or sell a home.
Sincerely,
Angela and
David McKnight
Dear Maureen,
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for all your
help with the sale of my current home and the purchase of my new one. Since,
with your help, I have found the home of my dreams I’m afraid I won’t need
your services for a while. Rest assured however, I will recommend you to all
my friends and to anyone who I know is looking for a hard-working realtor.
This was not my first foray into the world of real estate having purchased and
sold a resale home and bought a newly constructed home as well. I have worked
with a number of realtors in the past and I want to let you know how much I
appreciate your efforts.
It is obvious that hard working realtors produce results. In addition to your
expertise and skills as an aggressive marketer and savvy negotiator, I most
appreciate your enthusiasm and persistence. Every time I was beginning to
think the home of my dreams existed only in my mind, you sent me an email with
a couple of possibilities to keep me going. When we found the home of my
dreams, and the conditions of my first offer were not satisfactory to the
vendors, you instituted Plan B with the result that I could put in a firm
offer only a short while later.
Throughout the search for a new home and the sale of my own home your
enthusiasm shone! I got the feeling that you were almost as excited as I when
my offer to purchase was accepted and when we got the offer on my place.
What a privilege to work with such a dynamic and enthusiastic professional who
so obviously puts her client’s best interests first! I commend your
integrity and thank you again for all your care and support throughout the
past few months. I will most certainly recommend you to all that ask about my
experience as purchaser and vendor. I wish you well and know any future
clients will find no realtor more enthusiastic or supportive than you
are.
Sincerely,
Dear Maureen,
We’re pleased to send you this letter as a
“thank you” for the work you’ve done on the sale of our house.
Both your professionalism and the approach you took in selling our home
impressed us. The combination of print and on-line advertising certainly
gave a wide range of potential buyers concise information. You were
always very prompt to communicate information about the potential buyers after
a showing.
Although home owners often believe that
their house will just “sell itself,” having you handle our affairs made
the process easier and ultimately, very successful.
Best Personal Regards
My husband and I have recently sold our
home, 695 Walpole Crescent in Newmarket, with the assistance and dedication of
Susie Strom and Maureen Marsiglio.
Our house was sold within 3½ weeks
after the first showing and within this same time frame, Susie and Maureen
were also able to find our “dream home”!
We cannot express our gratitude to these two agents for all their effort.
They took the time to get to know us, asked us to fill out a “wish list”
detailing what we wanted in a new home and really listened to what we were
asking for. These steps prevented a lot of wasted time and we were able
to zero in on exactly what we wanted in only a few weeks.
We relied heavily on their professional knowledge as well. This allowed
us to go into our purchase offer with no wasted time. The owners of our
new house accepted our offer and thanked Susie for her exemplary presentation.
Our present house was marketed fiercely with ads and promotions through
Maureen’s website (which is how I met her and why we decided to go with her
services).
Susie acted as an agent for us in both purchasing our new home and selling our
present house. She acted with professionalism and courteousness and got
us an offer on our new home which we accepted immediately.
I would like to point out that without
Susie and Richard Strom’s assistance, we may have lost our new home but they
extended their kind hearts (and their confidence) out to us and we will be
forever grateful.
These two agents are excellent to work with. Their knowledge and work
ethic were of the highest quality; their energy, enthusiasm and faith allowed
my husband and I to put our trust in them completely. We will recommend
them to EVERYONE we know!
Dear Maureen,
You say the following about yourself:
"Not a lot of fancy talk & no sales
gimmicks.... just plain honest, hard work topped off with enthusiasm and
knowledge and you have my recipe for success... success for me in my career
and more importantly, success for you and all of your real estate needs!"
After having the PLEASURE of working with you in selling our home,
we say the following about you:
IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!!
Thank you for selling our home as if it
were your own!!!
Sincerely, Mark &
Ruth-Anne Douris
Dear Maureen and Susie,
David and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for all your
help in finding a lovely home that we are looking forward to moving into the end
of August. I had been looking at the ads in the paper and logged on to a couple
of web sites when I saw Maureen's ad in the Era Banner. She looked so nice and
friendly and she gave a web site that I went into and found a Home Wish List
which I filled out. This list was great because it allowed me to let Maureen
know exactly what kind of house, the price range we were willing to pay and what
qualities we would like in a home. I was so surprised when the next day I received
an e-mail from Maureen as well as a phone call. We then started to correspond by
e-mail with Maureen e-mailing me listings and then I could pick out the places
in which I was interested. My husband and I could then drive by these properties
and decide which ones we would like to see. This was a great service because we
could cut down on the time we might have wasted looking at properties that were
not of interest to us such as corner lots and properties with many steps up to
the front door. Every day one or the other of you were in touch with me with
many suggestions and you both worked very hard making sure we had a wide variety
of properties to see. The wish list helped all of us narrow down the market and
enabled us to find that one special house.
Thank you Maureen and Susie and your great Wish List idea. It made house hunting
a real treat. We are so glad we had a chance to work with both of you. You are
both lovely, friendly, great ladies and we wish you both much success in your
real estate career. I am sure you won't be able to do anything but succeed. You
make a great team.
All the best to both of you and thanks again for all your help.
Alyson and David Windsor
Maureen, you have blown us away! To sell our home for 99.4% of the asking
price, in 2 1/2 days, to the first people who viewed it; is absolutely
incredible! Your personality, professionalism, positive attitude, commitment and
of course your good looks made the entire transaction very smooth and enjoyable.
We will definitely recommend you highly to everyone! We look forward to viewing
properties with you, and intend to keep in touch when all is said and done. Thank
you, Maureen...
Mary, Karl and our girls. (Hashmi)
"Being a young couple, we had never bought a house before and had no
idea what to expect going in. Maureen was there for us 24/7. If we had a
question, problem or concern she was always there to address it. Be it a
legitimate question, or the nervous ramblings of first-time homebuyers, she
consistently took the time and effort to assure us all would go right. We had
heard a lot about real estate agents only caring about selling a house and getting that all-important
commission; this was not the case with Maureen. Maureen always had our best interest at heart
and took care of everything in a caring yet professional manner. It all comes
down to the simple fact that Maureen cares, which is what everyone should look
for in an agent if they want things done right without worry."
Mary Beth & Darren Leroux
"Maureen Marsiglio is a gem. We were very
impressed with her knowledge base, degree of professionalism and dedication to
her work. All those qualities along with her contagious enthusiasm allowed
us to sell our home and purchase our "dream" home well under two
weeks, with prices we were very pleased with. We highly recommend her to
family and friends. Those who have used her services have been very
pleased with her results and hard work. With Maureen we not only found a
terrific realtor, we also found a friend we can trust."
Marion &
Alex Gatzos
We have recently sold our home and purchased a
new home through Maureen Marsiglio. I could go on and on about the
wonderful service that we had during both the sale of our home and the purchase
of our new home. She took care of all of the details, none were too small,
and none too big. We could not be happier with the friendly and efficient
service that we received with Maureen. Simply put; if you are looking for
a friendly, hard working and honest agent then look no
further than Maureen.
SHE IS THE BEST THERE IS! We couldn't have done it without her.
Thank you Maureen for everything.
Kathy Muloin and Tim Brown
Dear Maureen:
You changed our lives forever. For a month we
visited old century homes together. You searched for
listings far and wide, screened them for my picky taste and made
appointments for us to view them. Never once did you become
frustrated with us; you only continued to try to find what we were looking
for. FINALLY we were successful. A one-hundred and sixty
year old farm house sitting on two acres with a barn. You were
allergic to the hay and got manure on your shoes but you still didn't
complain; only chuckled with that infectious laughter of yours. When it
came time to list our house you did a wonderful job. You make
the VERY BEST feature sheets and advertise wherever possible. Your time
and money was never an issue for you. It paid off - 3 days after
listing, our house was sold...FIRM! You showed the utmost respect
and were very caring towards myself and my family. You were extremely
professional and your real estate knowledge and quick thinking impressed me
immensely! I will be sure to recommend you whenever I can. When we
are old and move from the farm, it will be you that we call. I will miss
going to showings with you but I know that we will continue to be in touch
after our deal goes through because you are such a conscientious person
(Besides...you said you'd help me paint the place!). Talk to you soon.
Karen and Rick McInnis
Dear Maureen:
Just a note of
thanks for all your help in locating our House of Dreams.... after using
another agent down here in the big city and seeing approximately 60 houses
over the period of 3 months, it only took one evening with you and we found
our future home... oh what a relief it was... Once again, Lori-Anne and I
appreciate the help ... and we must not forget your boundless enthusiasm.
Roland and Lori-Anne Hastings
