CLIENT REVIEWS

"We have bought properties in Canada and the U.S. but have never come across any agents who have brought so much to the table in terms of experience, local knowledge, market appraisal, and willingness to help in so many ways...We think Ken Sr. and Jr. are model realtors and should be teaching the art and skill of helping home buyers and sellers achieve their goals. Many realtors seem to think they've earned their commission by mere act of completing a financial transaction. But the Hales enthusiastically roll up their sleeves, jump in, and make things happen. And they follow up to make sure the work is done properly.
We are extremely pleased with their professional service, their genuine and friendly, yet respectful, manner, and their efficiency at getting the job done. They are truly outstanding and must be recognized for their excellent performance and high standards."  

Dear Ken and your sales team,

I cannot thank you and your team members enough for your excellent service in selling my son's cottage at Pleasant Point .

With my son being out of the country you made it so easy and stress free.
Whenever I called or emailed you a question you replied instantly. 
I would be happy to refer anyone to your team and feel free to have any future clients speak to me if needed. 

Warmest Regards 

Ken,

Happy new year! I have been meaning to write this for months. As you know, I was concerned re-listing my property after an unsuccessful year in 2010 with another agent. The house and property have a lot of features not found in most houses and you needed to research several details that I didn’t have information on. I don’t know how you managed it, but there were probably three times the showings from the year before. However, the house is very unique and isn’t for everyone. Just when I was getting rather anxious as the summer was coming to an end, you found the perfect buyer. In 30 days from the initial offer, the house was sold! And, it was a “clean deal”. That doesn’t mean it was an easy sale. I know you used your negotiating skills to get me the best possible deal.
I cannot tell you what a huge relief that was. I had never sold a house by myself  before and relied on your suggestions and recommendations. It was easy to talk to you about any concerns or questions I had that in the past I could discuss with a partner. Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism.
You obviously understand the waterfront market and know exactly how and where to concentrate your efforts. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I would recommend you to anybody who wants an excellent agent.

Regards,

 Harold & I would like to take this time to express our heartfelt thanks to you, your Dad, Joanne & Alley. You made the process of selling our home on Balsam Lake seem almost effortless, due to your attention to every detail both prior to listing and during the entire process.
We had met you & your Dad a few years prior and knew then that when we eventually came to the decision to sell there would be no one else that we would consider but the Hale Team. That was the impression you made with us from the beginning and nothing since that first meeting has done anything to change our opinion of your Family.

We would without hesitation recommend you to anyone who is either looking to list or buy. It has been our pleasure to have had you represent us, and a property that we have loved for many years.
Thank you once again for your honesty and integrity.
Our Sincere Thanks,
Harold & Ruth Kaaz - Indian Point
 

I was a little hesitant as I wasn’t working with an agent, but I contacted the Hales family to inquire about a property they had listed. They were very patient and thorough in answering all my questions. At no point during the purchase process did I feel at a disadvantage for having the sellers agent representing both sides (dual agency).
These guys are professional, I feel I was treated fairly given my situation.
Now I’m a happy Beautiful Balsam Lake Cottager.
