My husband and I have both spent many years working in the real estate industry and we have been extremely pleased with Ian Hawkins at Royal LePage. He is honest, professional and dedicated. He isn’t one of those agents who will take on so many listings that he can no longer provide personal customer service to his clients. His market research is excellent.

Ian and his team have an excellent reputation as well as a reliable list of preferred partners in order to sell a property with ease.
I would highly recommend Ian and team if you want a knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional team in your corner. You can tell they are in the real estate business for the benefit of the client first and foremost.

From the outset, Krista Lesage personified professionalism and a sense of confidence that she could market our property and find a buyer for what she assessed as a unique property. Her thoroughness, attention to detail and timely follow-up made the process of selling our property a matter-of-fact experience that resulted in a very satisfactory result.

Jane & Frank Klees

Ian is an awesome agent. He took us to see so many places. Sometimes, he would say “this place wouldn’t be right for you even if we liked it” because he didn’t want to just do a deal. He is super honest all the time.He is also a really nice guy too.

We have found Krista Lesage to be very knowledgeable in finding the right property for our family in Collingwood. We would recommend Krista Lesage to anyone whom are from out of town and are needing a trustworthy and reliable Realtor.

Krista was so caring, open and honest. She knew this was a big step for me and she took extra time with me to ensure I was comfortable at all times. She went the extra mile and that was so appreciated. AMAZING! Caring, honest and all around wonderful human being.

Krista had attention to detail throughout the purchase process and we felt confident in her handling of the transaction. We were new to Collingwood & had a lot to learn. She was helpful at showing us options and helping us when it came to navigating the negotiations in this current market situation. We went through several offers until we were successful. Her patience in finding us the right house in the right location was evident in our interactions with her. We would highly recommend Krista to any friends, family or colleagues looking to buy or sell in the Collingwood area.

I approached Jason to assist with a home purchase in the Meaford area. How lucky to have found him. I live over two hours away and was fully dependent on having an experienced agent in the area. Jason exceeded my expectations. There were several complications with the property during negotiations including water quality and water leaks. Jason provided exceptional support and guidance throughout the process. We closed the deal and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve worked with other brokers in the past but Jason is a cut above. I highly recommend him for your real estate transaction.

My wife and I just purchased a small condo in Craigleith and the entire process from the initial call we made to Jason to closing was seamless. Jason was always there to answer questions and he did so promptly day and night!! Jason is the consummate professional and we can not possibly thank him enough for all his patience, guidance and sound advice. If you are looking for a real estate agent that “works for you and your interests” and someone you can count on then look no further! We will definitely be referring Jason to all our friends and family or anyone we come across looking to sell or purchase property up north. Thanks again Jason for a job extremely well done!!

Krista was creative and went well out of her way to deal with showings in a timely manner. She built relationships with agents and kept me informed so we could make an offer in a calm atmosphere. It’s such a stressful time but Krista kept things cool. I would recommend Krista to anyone buying or looking in Collingwood.

A. Baker

Jason was the agent that found us our very first home! The experience was effortless! He helped us understand all the complicated things that come along with becoming homeowners. His professionalism and calm nature was very much appreciated. We would highly recommend him when dealing with any real estate purchases.

Ian helped my wife and I purchase a new home in the Collingwood area. Ian is as professional as they come. His experience and local knowledge were so key in our process.

Alison F.

We just purchased our new home in Lora Bay, thanks to Abbey Belisle. Abbey was really great to work with. She showed us numerous homes, and she was not satisfied until we were satisfied. Abbey wanted to find us our perfect place, and did not stop until she did. She is very patient, listens, is professional, and a very hard worker who does not give up. During the negotiation part of the deal, she worked hard to get us the best price. I am very glad that a friend of mine recommended Abbey. It was a fun and rewarding experience.

Kym R.

We worked with Abbey Belisle to list our property, and in just three days on the market, she secured a firm deal with a fantastic outcome. Abbey truly went the extra mile, making the whole process smooth and completely stress free. We would certainly use her again and recommend her services. Thank you Abbey for your professionalism.

Ian and Krista were spectacular in helping me find the perfect property, negotiate the best deal I could in this market. Truly professional , warm and thoughtful individuals. This is one of dozens of properties I have purchased in my lifetime and have not come across such dedication and knowledge of the market and community…ever! Additionally, just because the sale is concluded, doesnt mean these Realtor disappear. the ongoing support has been 2nd to non as I navigate the Collingwood community and building dept! Many thanks…I couldn’t possibly recommend a better realtor !
