Testimonials
We have worked with Kathy Van Driel for over a decade and during that time have purchased and sold several properties with her as our realtor. Some properties were for personal use and others for investment and in each case Kathy’s professionalism, market expertise and attention to detail were evident. She consistently provided guidance and information that was crucial to each successful purchase or sale. Her knowledge of the various geographic markets around the western GTA and Halton region make choosing a location easy. She incorporates many attributes of a location into her assessments and negotiates with skill and determination for her clients. She is honest and we trusted her completely with our most valuable assets. She is clear about expectations and will do research if she needs more information about a particular area, property or situation. No question is too difficult for her; she will keep looking until she has the answer if she doesn’t already know it. There have been many times that she caught or explained items in various deals that I would not even have known to ask about and in doing so, saved us money, time and hassles. As well, she staged several of our properties for sale and I am certain that her elegant and modern decorating style helped sell our homes quickly, often for asking or better. I always feel very confident that she is looking out for us and our investments and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a home or investment property.

I no longer call Kathy my Real Estate Agent but rather a friend. We met at my lowest point six years ago when I was going through a divorce and moving out of my dream home. Kathy was extremely professional and yet sensitive throughout the entire process which was so appreciated. She then assisted me with finding a rental (twice in 5 years) by which she could have made more money servicing other clients but Kathy treated me like any other client: important. Finally, and most recently after years of working my way back up financially, I successfully was able to BUY my own place again and Kathy was integral in this transaction.
As you can see, Kathy is not about the sale but rather the journey towards your dreams. This was so much more than a real estate transaction for me and Kathy knew that. She was patient when I almost walked away and guided me when I was unsure what to do next and nervous. I am forever thankful for her compassion and honesty. Kathy knows the market, listens to your needs and is not afraid to recommend other ideas.
To say that Kathy comes highly recommended is a huge understatement.

I can't say enough positive things about our experience working with Kathy. She was patient and supportive during our search for our new home, making sure we didn't settle and that we got exactly what we were looking for. She also went above and beyond to ensure that our first home sold quickly and that we were set and ready for the big move. She was always responsive and helpful and I wouldn't trust anyone else with the purchase or sale of our home.

Our experience with Kathy Van Driel was extremely positive and professional. We sold and bought a house with her and were very satisfied with both transactions. Our previous residence was sold using staging and multiple media listings that were effective in attracting agents and buyers. On the purchase end Kathy was very patient with us over a long period of time showing us a large number of homes in a wide geographic area until we found the home for us. We highly recommend Kathy.

My wife and I have known Kathy for many years and when it came time to sell our Glen Abbey home and downsize we turned to her for help. She listened carefully to what we were both looking for and found a one of a kind home that meet our very specific needs. Kathy exudes a quiet confidence and infectious optimism that was especially appreciated during the difficult negotiations on both the selling of our old home and the buying of the new. Not surprisingly both our daughter and our son have utilized Kathy’s services when buying their homes.
Thanks for everything,
John and Wendy

We would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much we enjoyed working with Kathy Van Driel. We worked closely with Kathy when we made the decision to sell our home in Burlington and to downsize and purchase a condo.
The home brochure detailing the features of our home that Kathy put together when we sold in 2015 was the most professional and well done presentation we had ever seen. It mad us want to buy our house!
Kathy was very attentive to our needs. We told her what we were looking for in regards to our new purchase. She did all the research and narrowed it down to precisely what we wanted.
Kathy was very thorough, detail oriented, always available and very knowledgeable of market trends and areas.
In conclusion, we were thrilled with the hard work ethic and professionalism that Kathy put forth. We would definitely recommend Kathy to any of our friends and family that were looking to sell or purchase a new home.

We listed our home in Oakville with Kathy on the 3rd week of April, the same day that the new Foreign Ownership tax rules were announced. Kathy with her market knowledge and instincts kept us calm through the downturn and was able to sell our property before the other listings on our street. We appreciated her availability, her calming influence and direction to ensure a good selling price and timing.

Dear Kathy, I want to thank you for outstanding work in representing us in both the sale and purchase of our homes this year. Throughout the months that we worked together you listened carefully to our needs and were able to show us a range of homes that met those criteria. You quickly arranged showings of other homes that we asked to see and continuously researched new listings to give us early exposure to prospective properties that matched our requirements. We found it very helpful that you arranged several showings in a neighborhood so we could better assess the advantages of different properties.
To sell our home you provided invaluable advice about how to best prepare the house for showing. You researched our neighborhood and helped us price our home fairly and competitively. We were very impressed with the prominent exposure you gave our house. When it came to deal with offers, your detailed knowledge of the market and strong negotiation skills ensured we obtained the best possible price and a firm deal. Your high standards of integrity and knowledge of the industry gave us the confidence that you were always working for our best interests. It was a pleasure having you represent us and I would recommend you with total confidence to any family or friends.
Thanks you very much, we love out new home.

Kathy has made all of our real estate milestones a breeze - five years ago, she helped us buy our perfect first home, giving us just the right advice to help us put in a successful offer. And recently, when our growing family needed more space, she helped us find a larger home in the same neighbourhood. Both my husband I and agree that our experiences with her couldn't have been better! Kathy was so responsive to all our questions, and she patiently took us to view more houses than we anticipated in this year of very limited listings. She was unfailingly professional, honest, and ethical. We were also really impressed with how organized, efficient, and punctual she was. My husband and I both so appreciated that there was never any pressure or judgment; she always made us feel comfortable but gave very insightful opinions when we asked for them. Her assessment of the value of our existing home was spot-on, meaning that we could accurately figure out our budget with no surprises. Kathy also advocated for us during both the purchase and sale, negotiating a great deal and making sure that any unexpected issues were resolved fairly. And she helped us to stage our home beautifully, providing high-quality photos and marketing materials that we know helped us get the sale price we needed. We can give our heartfelt recommendation for Kathy and know that we will not hesitate to ask for her help if we ever move again!
