If you're like me, the thought of putting your home on the market is an instant way to raise your blood pressure! Finding agents you trust and who are willing to cater to your needs and expectations is a stressfull experience in itself.
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised, a few years ago, when we contacted Geoff McGowan. We wanted to sell our house and knew little about the market conditions in Ottawa at that time. Geoff was not only professional and attentive but he was also very knowledgeable. Most of all, he listened!
The McGowan team certainly met our needs in the past and I would highly recommmend them to my friends and family members.

Lisa and myself would like to extend our thanks to you for helping us in buying our house. You made the process from the searching and buying point of view very easy. Since it was our first house, we needed your assistance more than ever.
Thanks also for the nice gift and the nice letters. They are appreciated. I learnt a lot through the process. We are very happy with our new home and love the neighbourhood and being close to family. We still have lots of things that we want to do to upgrade the house - which I imagine will be an ongoing process. Look forward to dealing with you again in the future and hope to throw some business your way if friends and family are in the market for a realtor.

When we decided to sell our home, I interviewed a number of agents. Most came through, looked around and said our house was nice. They then asked me to prepare and send them a detailed list of features and builder's upgrades so that they could put together a feature sheet. Next, they tried to have me sign with them as the listing agent. I was really disappointed with their approach. I had heard they were reputable agents, but they didn't prove they were willing to really earn our business.
Then, Geoff McGowan walked through the door. We discussed in detail our families needs, including the quick sale of our current home in order to be in position to purchase a particular property which had recently come on the market. Geoff took the time to gain a clear understanding of our needs and then made his own list of our homes' features. He offered sound recommendations on a plan to secure our new home and quickly sell our current home for top value.
Finally, we had found an agent who was really willing to earn the right to our business. We signed with Geoff and Bobbie the next day, as both selling and purchasing agents.
Things moved fast after that. Geoff quickly sold our current homew, at 99.5% of list price. Then he successfully secured our new homw in a competitive bid situation It was all wrapped up within a week our first meeting. Throughout that hectic week, Geoff kept things focused and on track. He offered sensible, timely advice and regular progress updates. We were confident we were getting the best representation available. I wholeheartedly recommend Geoff and Bobbie McGowan to anyone interested in buying or selling their home in the Ottawa Area
