From the very first contact to the final successful outcome, Colleen and Peter displayed total commitment to see that our home was properly prepared for the market.

"Colleen and Peter Gilpin were amazing to work with! Not only were they professional and informative, but they made the experience of selling our house fun and stress free! Not many people can say that about their real estate agent.

We really felt that they cared about doing a really good job for us. They worked hard to get our house looking extra special and we sold in just a few days. We would definitely recommend them to others."

Thanks again to both of you!!!!

"Our internet search for a real estate agent ended when we hit Peter and Colleen's site. Just as they are in person, their website was organized, informative and professional. We were able to buy the home we wanted because Peter and Colleen were up-to-date on their market knowledge, pro-active and most importantly, represented our interests extremely well. Being our third house purchase, we knew what we needed in a real estate agent. We got it working with Peter and Colleen."

"Peter & Colleen Gilpin are a professional and knowledgeable couple whose solid research & strong negotiation skills resulted in a substantial reduction in the cost of our new home. Colleen & Peter provided us with a wide range of advice. They were very patient in explaining terms and the process to us. They were also great at keeping us informed & often called us with updates. Colleen & Peter worked hard & were pro-active; they did not sit back and wait but chased information for us. The result of their work was that we were able to take possession of our new home within 3 weeks. We do not hesitate in recommending their services to you as we will to our friends and we will definitely contact the Gilpins again in the future if the need arises. "

"We worked with Peter and Colleen during the sale of our last home and the purchase of our new one. We were very set in staying in the same neighborhood, and we were confident that Peter and Colleen knew our area better than anyone else in town. We were extremely happy with both sides of the transaction; receiving top dollar for our sale and also finding a wonderful new home just down the street. Peter and Colleen's depth and experience in this very competitive market helped ensure our experience was a very positive one."

"Buying our first home was filled with both excitement and anxiety. We emailed Colleen and Peter with initial inquiries about the home-buying process and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. They listened to our needs and were diligent in showing us suitable houses. Colleen and Peter provided us with their honest opinions about the properties we viewed, and to our surprise, this included critiques of houses priced higher than the one we purc hased. Throughout our interactions with the Gilpins, we never felt we were 'being sold' anything--they were not selling us a house, but rather were matching us up with a house that fulfilled our needs. It was quite evident that Colleen and Peter had our best interests at heart and we would recommend their services to anyone looking to buy a house."

"We moved to Burlington from overseas so had very little experience of Canadian housing. Colleen and Peter arranged an excellent tour for us, enabling us to see the different styles of homes available, assisted us with practical advice throughout the home buying process, and made the whole experience virtually stress-free. When we encountered a problem after closing (in the week prior to Christmas) they went the extra mile to resolve it and ensure that we had a happy first Christmas in our new home."

We were extremely pleased to sell our house in a only a few days with minimal interruptions in our daily routines. They respected our price and home feature requirements. Time with them was well invested! Their honesty and detail to customer service will find us calling them if we are ever 'back in the market'."

"Time to move a little closer to our family. We called Colleen and Peter. A neighbour had nothing but good things to say about them. His home had been on the market for some time and in an effort to move it he changed agents and listed with the Gilpins, who in turn sold it. They explained their market strategy to us, the listing was signed and our house was sold within the week. We loved their quick email responses & excellent post listing support."

"Working with both Peter and Colleen on buying our new home and selling our current property was a great experience. They were extremely responsive to our needs and kept us in the loop with what was happening with potential sales leads, something that was very important to us.  They also went out of their way to accommodate our schedules, were available when we needed them and generally made a stressful selling situation enjoyable.  Colleen and Peter are very knowledgeable of the Burlington real estate market and are very intuitive to their clients’ needs. We would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to friends and family alike.
