After a not too good experience with a realtor, I contacted Marg McCarthy and was immediately impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the area, helpfulness, friendliness and her great smile, which continued throughout the selling of my home. Lots of advertising was done and my home sold very quickly. I have, and will continue to, recommend her services with pleasure. Kudos to her staff too. Thanks Marg!

“We reached out to Katie Prince to help us find a rental home. Our circumstances were less than ideal, and we needed to find something quickly. Katie setup multiple viewings within 24 hours, guided us through without pressure, and we found the perfect place. She also managed the details of the application process. We couldn’t be happier!”
Andrew De Lozey - Innisfil ON
“It gives us great pleasure to add our names to a list of very satisfied customers. Katie is an exceptional representative who has been there for us every time we had a wish to see a property, knowing that sometimes we were looking out of curiosity rather than wanting to put an offer in. She was instrumental in guiding us through the purchase procedure from the time we opened the door to our offer, counter offers and final purchase. She is very charming and definitely a people person. We recommend Katie and her Reality company 100%. On a rating of 1 to 10 she scores a 12. Thank-you so much from both of us for aiding us in owning a beautiful home for our retirement.”

“My husband & I recently had the opportunity to work with Rafia Tanveer in finding a suitable leasing solution for our retirement needs. From the first meeting with Rafia, she took took the time, despite some schedule changes on our part to ensure that we were able to view multiple units/options, all the while carefully keeping in mind what would best suit our requirements for both short & long term. Throughout our process, Rafia was extremely patient, professional & an absolute pleasure to work with. We would most certainly recommend Rafia for any real estate needs.”
Sybille & Jukka
Working with Rafia has been an absolute pleasure from the very beginning of our communications until getting the keys to our perfect home. Being on a tight deadline and requiring more room for a growing family, we turned to Rafia to find us more space, in a quieter neighbourhood while still remaining within budget. She was communicative, and very quickly responded with ample listings and was very flexible on meeting us to view the properties. From start to finish, we had such a pleasurable experience dealing with Rafia, whether it was last minute questions late at night, or another viewing request, she was always eager and professional in addressing our concerns and always on time to see a listing.
By the end of our search, we were shocked at how quickly Rafia was able to source our perfect home, coordinate paperwork and handle all our inquiries in a professional and timely manner. We were expecting a baby right after move-in day and were surprised to be greeted with a warm welcome gift on the day of move in. We really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend Raffia to anyone who is looking for a friendly, trustworthy, reliable and professional real estate agent in the area. Her genuine care and passion for what she does shines through in her quick and friendly approach. We couldn’t be happier to have worked with her and have now settled into our perfect first family home. Thank you from all of us Rafia!
Sincerely,
Magdalena, Robert & Baby Layla
Rafia was quick to jump right in and help my kids and I find the perfect home fast!!!
She made everything so easy and painless!!!

Hi Marg
Our whole family would like to give you a very sincere thank you for the excellent service and quick turn around on the sale of our Mom’s home.
Our Mom is 93 years young and you were so patient and thorough with explaining every step of the way.
We would and will highly recommend you and your staff to anyone looking at buying or selling their home.
Thank you Marg as it was a genuine pleasure to have dealt with you and your staff
Doreen, Don and the whole Wiltshire clan.
The transition period of selling our mother’s condo and moving her into Edgewood, which could have been stressful, went smoothly thanks to Rafia who helped us every step of the way. She guided us through the whole process, from filling out documentation , helping us to select our suite and being a liaison between us and the property manager. We could call Rafia anytime and she was always there for us!
Our mother is now settled into her beautiful new suite and absolutely loves it and is enjoying the wonderful community at Edgewood Suites and all it has to offer.
The property manager Adriana provides ongoing help and support with any issues or concerns. Adriana has been amazing and is always there if mom needs anything!
Thank you Rafia and Adriana for all you do and making Edgewood Suites a wonderful place to call home.
Terry B
It was my pleasure to have met you, Rafia. You had on a big smile the whole time we dealt with each other, and that includes looking at many layouts until I decided which one I wanted. You have a lot of patience dealing with new people and you made me feel like I knew you forever. I am very pleased with my apartment and I have you to thank for that. I wish you all the success going forward.
Again, thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
Regards
Shelley C., Edgewood Suites
