Testimonials:

After residing in my home for more than five decades, I made the decision to sell it and relocate to a retirement home to be closer to my daughter. The sale was managed by Simone and Marie, who were incredibly supportive at Downsize With Us. I discovered them to be empathetic and attentive to my worries. I was concerned about obtaining the price I had in mind for my home, especially because the market was slow at the time. Nevertheless, their approach was effective, and my property sold for more than I had hoped for.

Even after the sale, while I had already moved out, they took care of my property, giving me weekly updates and doing an outstanding job. I wholeheartedly recommend their services as they were professional, always considering my best interests, and a pleasure to deal with.

Our daughter recommended Simone and Marie after speaking to them. Given that we were seniors who hadn’t moved in a long time plus my wife has special mobility needs, we needed real estate agents who understood our situation.   Simone and Marie were amazing! They did not rush us and took the time to explain the selling process and even found us a condo that suited my wife’s needs perfectly. We sold and bought with them. They were knowledgeable and highly professional from start to finish – simply a pleasure to deal with. We would not hesitate to highly recommend the services of Simone and Marie and the Downsize With Us Team!

-Joe & Vivien W., Burlington

As a senior citizen, the process of selling a property was daunting, but Marie and Simone made it effortless and a stress-free experience for me.

They took the time to listen to my concerns, patiently answered all my questions, and provided insights that helped me make informed decisions. They accommodated my schedule, making sure that property viewings and meetings were arranged at times that suited me best. I realized that with their guidance the sale of my home was achieved quickly, and the closing was seamless, and I am now in a Retirement Community of my choice.

I wholeheartedly recommend Marie and Simone to any senior looking to sell their home. Working with them was an absolute pleasure, and I will forever be grateful for their invaluable assistance during this significant transition in my life.
