Testimonials

This was our second time working with Carole and her team, but our first as both buyers and sellers, so we still had a lot of questions about the entire process.

Carole was extremely patient with us, answering all our questions, and seemed to be available at any time. It didn’t matter how late or how early it was; we would e-mail her with questions or concerns and we would receive a response almost instantly.

In addition to her patience and availability, Carole went above and beyond our expectations when it came to the actual selling and buying. The entire process went smoothly and quickly, and in the end, we received exactly what we hoped for.

We have no hesitations in recommending Carole to anyone we know.

Thank you all so much for the amazing job in marketing our home and getting it sold in record time. They were so attentive, efficient, and effective!
We also praise the photographer and videographer. The pictures were fantastic.

We are so happy to have flipped the sign to “sold” and are grateful for all the hard work that was done. We felt as if we were the only people Carole and her team had to worry about, and that’s a rare talent.

We would not even consider selling or buying a home without Carole! She, and her entire team, made this otherwise overwhelming, emotional, and stressful experience seamless. The team is an extraordinary balance between utmost professionalism and kind, gentle care.

We were guided to make the right decisions for our family, and we are confident we got the right price for our house and found the perfect home just for us!

I was initially sceptical of using an agent, but after selling our home with Carole and her team, we are so happy we did!

Barb and Carole gave prompt email responses, which was one of the things we valued the most. Their contact network was great; professionals (like electricians) were willing to provide free advice which would have otherwise cost us a full consultation.

We are happy to have dealt with Carole and her team.

What does it take to be an amazing real estate agent?

Patience? Yes. Knowledge of the city? Absolutely. The capacity to give solid and truthful advice? You bet. Credibility? No question. And Carole Evans has it all – in spades. However, what Carole offers that goes beyond her personal and professional five-star service is her network.

We finalised the purchase of our new house after 11 PM on a Friday night, and the closing date was three weeks later. Daunting, to say the least, given the amount of work that needs to be done to close a house.

Carole lined up all the services we needed to get the ball rolling (inspector, lawyer, bank, etc.), and by noon the next day (a Saturday, no less), these professionals had all confirmed appointments with us in the coming days.

Although it was not our first house purchase, Carole and her network were there with us all the way, guiding and counselling us so that we didn’t miss any step. And we did finally close our house 3 weeks later.

Now, if that’s not a top-notch realtor who has access to a responsive and solid network of experts, we don’t know what is!

We used Carole and her team for moving from the UK and would highly recommend them to anybody moving to Ottawa.

Carole was fantastic from the start, full of insight and suggestions, always punctual and hugely helpful, while Barbara was able to supply us with useful information pertaining to the area we were interested in, including community services, events and groups.

They guided us through the purchase process effortlessly and we’re now very happy in our new home.

Carole was great!

Our house sold on the first day, all thanks to the superb staging, positioning and marketing by Carole and her whole team. It was way more than just a sign on the lawn. Their expertise and hard work certainly paid off for us. We couldn’t be happier.

Carole and her team were great!

We were relocating from afar, and had a limited window to purchase a new home for our young family.

In the weeks leading up to our visit, Carole sent us many listings, set up viewings, and made sure we knew about houses just coming on the market. This made our trip very efficient, and we ended up getting a nice little family home in a great area on Carole’s strong advice.

Thanks for everything!

I’m so glad that I chose Barb & Carole to help me purchase my new home!

I can honestly say that despite her busy schedule, Carole made me feel like her only client — very special!

I had a challenging wish list and Carole considered it for each potential property she selected. She is a skilled listener and her thorough knowledge of neighbourhoods, developments and renovation factors helped steer me in the right direction.
Her strong, respectful negotiating skills kept me within budget and with my desired closing date.

Barb & Carole kept me up to date and fully prepared, and their calm, positive attitude and efficiency made this experience more enjoyable and less stressful than I could imagine.
I also benefited from their excellent working relationships with talented inspectors, lawyers, mortgage brokers, tradespeople, etc.

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!

Thank you so much for selling our home. You’ve raised the bar for our real estate expectations!
Everyone on the team was wonderful to deal with and thanks to their efforts, we sold very fast!

We could not be more pleased with the professional and friendly service that Carole and her team provided us. This is the second home that they have sold for us over the past 8 years, and both experiences were extremely positive.

In a slow real estate market, you need a team that puts your home in the best possible spotlight; you need your home to stand out above the rest.

Carole sold our home in less than three weeks, and allowed us to literally move on with our lives, while other homes on our street were still for sale two months later.

The strengths of Barb & Carole are photography, videography and marketing. Simply put, they are an awesome team!

“Thank you” to Barb & Carole for all their efforts in getting my house sold, and in guiding me through the process of buying my new home on Alon Street.

I appreciate all the advice Barb & Carole gave me along the way, and I really enjoyed working with them. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends, and of course keep you in mind if I am ever looking to buy or sell again.

We discussed with Carole about our vision of the property we were looking for and visited a few homes to fine-tune our taste and expectations. Carole is the reason we found the home that was meant to be ours!

From the moment we walked into the house, we knew this home felt right for us and she magically made it happen!
Carole is very honest, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable and worked to fulfill our needs in finding our perfect home. We truly felt that making sure we were happy with our purchase was her FIRST priority.

Once our dream home became available, she guided us with the best advice on the offer and how to handle all the other details.

Carole was our matchmaker for us and our Home Sweet Home!

Barb & Carole are definitely the best realtors we have ever had. Wish that there were more like them.

You will be hard pressed to find a better real estate agent.
Carole shows genuine interest in the goals of her clients and applies her extensive marketing experience for successful outcomes. In addition, you really get a sense that her whole team is behind her all the way.

We were so impressed by the tour video she produced; I wanted to buy my house all over again!

When all was done, we sold in just 2 days! And at a very good price.

I highly recommend Barb & Carole if you want results and strong market value. Many thanks to Carole and her team!
