"Dear Ryan, I just wanted to say thank you for your considerable time and help during the purchase and sale of our houses. We were not sure we even wanted to move, but with your patience and knowledge of the market, we found the perfect house. It was a whirlwind experience, but with your guidance and help we managed to purchase and sell an house in less than a month. We took all of your suggestions for staging our house, and it certainly paid off. Our house sold in 3 days, even before it hit the MLS site, for the asking price (the most our model of townhouse had ever sold for). WOW! I still cannot believe it was that fast and painless. We bought our first house from Bob 8 years ago, you are an amazing chip off the block. We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends looking to move or sell. Your team is amazing! Thanks for all the hard work and dedication."

"Ryan, we want to say that we are SO happy with the house we have found! You had provided us with great service, really went above & beyond for us & we really appreciate that! We would recommend your service to anyone & everyone. Thanks so much for helping us find our new home!"

Tanya & Alain, Ottawa

"Ryan, just a quick note to say thank you very much for your time and considerable effort in helping us find a home in Ottawa. Your genuine nature and sense of humour made the process enjoyable and we won't hesitate to use your services in the future or to recommend you to our family and friends!"

"Purchasing your first home can be an overwhelming experience. Ryan made our experience as stress free as possible and was always there to answer any questions we had. From the beginning, Ryan was attentive to our needs and wants in a home and played a key role in guiding us towards what would truly suit us and our situation. He presented us with various options and helped us to realize the features of a home that we would truly be happy with. Even months after, when we required assistance Ryan was there to help us out. Thank you Ryan, we will definitely be spreading the word about your outstanding service!!!"

"We will not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends in the future. You and Ryan made a good team."

Anne and Bruce Belliveau

"Bob was a great help. This was our first time purchasing a home through a real estate agent. We loved the home the instant we saw it, but were at first wary of having to deal with someone too “salesy.” We were pleasantly surprised as he did not put any undue pressure on us. He did a great job of educating us on the whole purchasing process. As a result, we asked him to help us sell our home. We had a little over 2 months to sell our existing home in order to be able to afford the home we put an offer on. Bob gave us great advice on preparing our home for showing, priced it right and we sold it in about 6 weeks. We valued his candour, attentiveness and especially his sense of humour! I believe his character and personality were calming influences on what is typically a very stressful experience. He always made us feel like he was looking out for our best interests."

R. and J. Mangulabnan

"We just wanted to thank you and tell you how much we appreciated dealing with you in the sale of our "old" house. Both your friendly approach and professional skills helped guide us through what is always a stressful process. Your advice in preparing the house for sale and your response to our requirements and wishes was truly impressive. We appreciated the cooperative approach of all the members of your office in publicizing and showing the house as well as keeping us informed of all the developments. Although the market was not as "hot" as previous years, our house was sold quickly and for the price we were expecting. This is even more impressive as I see some of the similar houses in our area are still on the market 5 months later. Thanks again Bob and we certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family when they are planning to move."

"We would like to also express our thanks to you one more time - as we've mentioned in person, we were very happy with how you went about acquiring Pineglade for us, as well as how you sold Harper. Rest assured, we will be recommending you to family and friends in the future."

D. Tauzlovic and M. Vukovic

"We truly enjoyed getting to know Bob and working towards our goal which was very well captured by Bob and his team. Bob's professionalism is second to none and that also goes for his kindness and devotion towards our needs.

Bob took the time to really listen to our requirements before providing his services which targeted potential properties that met our expectations. He made us feel like special clients and his availability was unbelievable. He kept us informed of all the listings, pointing out the ones that stood out and took us to visit many different properties, even some we had found on other web services. His punctuality and flexibility was appreciated not to mention that at times he honestly suggested that this house was not for us. No pressure tactics on his part.

Once we made our decision, Bob was there to advise us on every aspect of the purchase. It was never difficult to reach him or his team and we truly felt that they all worked with our interests in mind. At no time did we feel pressured or left hanging. He even made what was sometimes a very stressful situation a pleasurable experience and we would certainly work with him again and recommend him highly to our friends and family."

Hélène Surprenant & Pierre Parent

"We first met Bob while visiting our present home on Des Grands Champs. We found the house while driving in the neighbourhood and contacted Bob directly to visit the home. Bob was courteous, punctual, knowledgeable and the house was pristine. After a little more house searching, browsing the website and a second visit, we found that this would be a great home for us.  Bob acted as a Dual Agent, for both the Seller and for us. He gave us accurate evaluations of similar homes and guided us through the negotiations and closing.  In our dealings in selling our home, we had a chance to meet and interact with many other real estate agents. This is when we realized that not all agents are the same, and the great value in Bob's sensible 'no pressure' approach. We would recommend to anyone buying or selling a home to meet with Bob Cole."

Michel Sabourin & Marie-Andrée Ouimet

"Bob thank you so much for your closing gift, we will certainly enjoy it. Bob it was a pleasure to do business with you and would certainly recommend you highly to my friends and family. Your prompt attention to all our needs were exceptional. Thanks again."

Grace Stewart, Orleans

"We recently sold our house and down sized to a condo apartment. Why did we use the services of Bob Cole? When we purchased the house that we just sold, we went through Bob and the experience was great and we found the house we were looking for. Deciding that it was time to down size, we turned to Bob with no hesitations. During our first meeting with Bob, we laid out our reasons for down sizing and discussed our options. He discussed with us what was required to ready our house for listing. Our house was sold before a sign went up on the front lawn and before it was listed on MLS, quite remarkable. The next step was to find something we were looking for. From our initial meeting, Bob began sending us MLS listings based on our needs and price range. Then began the viewings. This is where Bob's expertise and knowledge excelled. There were a number of places that we looked at where, based on our initial meeting and knowing our needs, Bob steered us away. In the end, we decided on a place and the purchasing began. We are more than happy with the outcome. In my business, I know a number of real estate agents. However, there is no doubt that Bob would be number one on our list to handle our real estate matters because of his knowledge, he listens to your needs and finds a place that meets those needs, always keeping the client in mind not himself. I have no problem in referring people to Bob, have in the past and will continue to do so."

Ken & Diane Sorrenti

"Dear Mr Cole, We would like to thank you very much for your enthusiasm, professionalism and advice.  We shall recommend you with great pleasure."

Alice & Dan Tupling

"We moved from Winnipeg to Ottawa in October 2007 and worked with Bob. He was referred to us by a co-worker and we were very pleased with our decision. Bob and his assistant Claire were prompt, thorough and professional assisting us to find a place to live. We had a particularly difficult request to fill since our previous property in Winnipeg was unique backing onto a lake and park. Bob worked with us to find a great property on a ravine in an outstanding area, Orleans. We only looked in Orleans and area and Bob was prepared to show us other areas but we felt we did not need to since Orleans had everything we wanted. When it is time to move again, we would work with Bob Cole again and would refer him to other people in the need of a Professional top quality realtor."

Rob & Kimberley Neyedley

"In August of 2007 a little grand-daughter came into our life with a very rough beginning, spending the first two weeks of her life in intensive care, but she was the one that gave us the courage to make our move. I say courage because we had been living in the same house for 32 years and we had no idea where to begin, Bob came to the rescue showing us what we thought we wanted and everything in between. His motto was 'if I don't like it, you won't like it'. Many houses later and much talk Bob figured out just what we needed and indeed he was right. We moved at the end of November to our end town house just in time to get settled in enough and do some shopping to celebrate Christmas with our family, it was the best Christmas ever, Thanks Bob."

Doreen & Al Boudreau, Orleans

"Needless to say, Bob, I was pleased with the effort you had put into the sale of my Executive Townhouse. Just the fact that it was six (6) days from the time you put the For Sale sign in the lawn to the time you had a confirmed buyer was truly amazing. It's a credit to your professionalism. Your article in the pamphlet Success was what told me you were the salesperson for my house. Your tips on improvements to my property prior to the sale were ' bang on'. If ever I get interested in purchasing a residence in the future I will not hesitate to call you."

N. Weatherby, Orleans

"As first time home buyers, we had no idea about the process, we were concerned about being pressured into buying a home, and we weren't sure who we could trust. Bob guided us through the process easily and truly looked after our best interests. We ended up with the house of our dreams and the only thing we had to worry about was where the new hot-tub was going! It's no wonder he establishes lifetime clients...happily we are one of them!"

John and Lidia, Glebe

"Both me and my husband were very impressed with the service that Bob and his team provided us during a very stressful and anxious time. Bob was very personable, upfront and followed through with everything he said he would do. It was never difficult to reach him or his team and we truly felt that he worked with our interests in mind. He made it a pleasurable experience and we have been telling all of our family and friends!!"

S. and C. Humes, Orleans

"My wife and I were impressed with the exceptionally professional manner in which you do business. Although our house may have been a 'difficult sell', you continued in your positive approach, provided continual advice and got the job done. It's always a joy working with the professionals who know what they are doing."

Patrick & Eloise Kelly, Orleans

"Please pass on to Bob our gratitude and appreciation for everything he did for us. Working with Bob was a great pleasure and we'll definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Orleans."

V. Boileau & N. Fleury, Ottawa

"Bob is a very pleasant gentleman with a wonderful smile and sense of humour. I did appreciate his constructive comments and suggestions on our property. He seems very experienced and of course very professional. Throughout the walk around our house I could sense his only focus was on maximizing the assets of our property. Again his suggestions with some repairs were comprehensive as he also provided us with list of names of companies to assist us. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob Cole."

A. Gendron, Cumberland

"The impression that you left with me concerning your personal integrity, professionalism and dedication to your client's interests and well being, was a lasting one. When we decided to move in the summer of 2006, there was no question concerning our choice of Real Estate Agent - it had to be Bob Cole. During the short period our home was on the market, we met with you on numerous occasions which only confirmed to us that our choice in selecting you to market and sell our home was correct. Whenever we talk to others concerning the sale of our home and/or real estate, you are and always will be highly recommended as the real estate agent of choice."

R. & C. Thorhauge, Chapel Hill South, Orleans

"My wife and I recently decided to purchase a home here in Ottawa. My son-in-law knows Bob and thought we should give him a call. That, was one of the best calls we have made. We spoke to Bob on the phone and gave him an idea of what we wanted and which areas we thought we would like. The next evening he came by the house with numerous listings and his thoughts on each place and the areas they were in.

Bob is a true professional. He kept us totally informed of all the listings, took us to see different places, helped in our decision making and answered all our questions with good hard fact. At no time did we feel pressured or left hanging.  Once we made our decision, Bob again was there to advise us on every aspect of the purchase. Since we have moved in, he has called to make sure everything was in order and made us promise to call if there was anything at all that we needed or if there were any problems.

Thank you Bob! Your time and efforts were greatly appreciated and we are very happy in our new place."

D. & L. Brownlee, Orleans, Ontario

"Knowledgeable, thorough, kind and considerate are words that come to mind when we think of our experience with Bob Cole. We dealt with Bob for both the selling of our home and the purchase of a new home. Thank-you for taking care of every fine detail for us! …..I still can't believe we did it, and did it so well. You guys helped us move mountains!!!"

G. & J. Schultz, Ottawa, Ontario

"Bob, thanks for all of your help in finding our new home. We're really enjoying living in this area. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and relatives."

W. & M. Woodward, Orleans, Ontario

"We've had a number of real estate agents over the past 12 years but none have impressed us more than Bob Cole. He is honest and only looks out for what is best for his clients. We truly believe that his success comes from his commitment to his clients. Having said that, we have referred 5 of our friends and relatives to him over the past 18 months, and they have all had the same satisfying experiences as we have."

G. Chretien, RBC DOMINION SECURITIES, Ottawa, Ontario

"We are more than pleased with the time and expertise Bob gave us while searching from one home to another. We feel very comfortable with the house we purchased, and can hardly wait for the closing.  Again thanks, and if anyone asks if we know someone who can sell their house or are buying one, we'll definitely give them your name and number."

K. & D., Orleans, Ontario

"Bob served us in a professional and friendly manner. In our case he acted on behalf of the seller as well as the buyer and handled it very well. We would not hesitate to recommend Bob to future buyers and sellers."

R. & C. Campbell, Chapel Hill

"Bob was a great asset in the successful sale of our family home. I wanted an easy going individual but needed an aggressive Real Estate Salesperson who knew the market and the community. Bob fit the bill perfectly. He listed our home on Friday, held an open-house on Sunday and received the offer to purchase just days later. Bob is a professional who knows the world of Real Estate. Thanks, Bob."

R. D., Orleans, Ontario

"When we were moving to Ottawa in early 2002, my sister, a Toronto realtor, recommended Bob to us because he had assisted my niece and her husband. We are delighted that she did. Bob found us the perfect house in the perfect location, all within the three days we had available to look. We had such fun, we even invited him and his wife Donna to our wedding that fall. We have since recommended Bob to our neighbours and he got them well over their asking price. Then in late 2003 when we were looking for an investment property, Bob found us a diamond in the rough to renovate. Of course once it was ready, we listed it with him. Our association with Bob has been both rewarding and a pleasure. We happily recommend him without reservation."

P. & R. Lewis, Ottawa, Ontario
