My husband and I were in the process of downsizing our home. We had just sold our family dwelling of thirty three years and were visiting numerous open houses to quietly acquire an impression of the current real estate market. Since we had not been in touch with the market for many years, we needed to view and assess different areas of Oakville to determine what might best suit us.

We first met Barbara Link and Bob Watson of Oakville By The Lake Realty at one such open house. They were conducting the open house for one of their vendor clients. We were immediately impressed with the way they greeted and engaged all visitors to the residence. They were attentive, caring and thorough in explaining the features of the property and answering any and all questions.

We appreciated their no-pressure approach. They listened thoughtfully to our comments and preferences and appeared very intuitive and interested in our needs and concerns. Although we didn’t purchase that particular house, they were very helpful in making useful and positive suggestions for us to consider.

After meeting with them again, we decided to employ them as agents to help us locate a house that met most or all of our needs. They did just that and were very knowledgeable, professional and efficient in guiding us through the numerous forms, details and aspects of preparing and executing an offer to purchase. They stayed in touch with us after the offer was accepted and continued to provide helpful incite and good advice.

We were very pleased with our dealings with Barbara and Bob and would gladly use their services again. We would recommend them to any prospective clients without any hesitation. They are the sort of real estate agents that we’re sure become fast, long term friends with many of their clients because of their openness and friendly, caring manner.
