Downsizing from the family home to a condominium,

During the past year I went through the stressful process of selling my large home and "downsizing " to a condominium apartment. Gaby Piper-Crawley was the real estate agent who guided me through it all. She was referred to me by friends who had also used her professional services with very positive results. From the outset, Gaby listened to me, assessed my requirements, asked thoughtful questions, and gave sound advice. It was very evident that she has in-depth knowledge and experience of the housing market. I was very grateful to have Gaby's patient, calm, professional assistance during all the activities and transactions involved. I am happily settled in my new residence --well done, Gaby!

First home with income component.

We want to take a moment to thank you for all of your assistance in making the purchase of our son's first home happen in an informed and thoughtful manner. Your professionalism shone through as always. Your knowledge of the ins and outs of the real estate market helped Oliver and Lorraine (as you helped Tim and Rebecca many moons ago) to learn and understand what they were undertaking and the ramifications of the market. Above all we appreciate your sensitivity in bringing them to question life-style decisions. Something we, as parents, would love to do but are a little too close to the action, to be successful at. It needs someone like you with a more objective outlook to be listened to. Please accept our most sincere thanks.

 Moving up to a larger family home.

My husband and I have moved seven times, both in the United States and Canada, in the past several years and have used several different real estate agents. Gaby Piper-Crawley is quite simply the best agent we have ever encountered, both as someone working with us and compared with those we have met through open houses, etc. Her utmost consideration is to work hard for you, her client, and does so with conscientiousness, a breadth of experience and knowledge, complete honesty and a healthy dose of good humour. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone seeking a representative that will not only do a superb job, but do it with wisdom and flexibility. From picking stray threads out of our carpet before an open house to answering e-mails at any time of night or day, she really goes above and beyond expectations. If only all service providers could be this good.

Relocating out of Province. Service, Service, Service Easy to say, much harder to provide. We have had the pleasure of having several real estate dealings with Gaby Piper-Crawley. In February of 1999 we listed our 85-year-old home in New Toronto. Gaby negotiated us through two separate offers on our home, getting us a higher price than we thought possible. Her first hand experience with older homes, and home renovations proved invaluable.

With our home sold and on a tight deadline (we were expecting our second child) Gaby accessed our needs: price, growing family and commute times. Shortly after, we bought a much larger house in Oakville on a quiet Crescent. In the fall of 2002 we decided to pursue an opportunity in Nova Scotia. Again Gaby was there to help sell our home. A concern of prospective buyers was a new development that was proposed for the property located directly behind our house in Oakville. Gaby researched the project and was able to provide accurate, thorough and detailed information about this proposed development. It was this attention to detail that sealed the deal.

Now we had to purchase a house in Nova Scotia. Gaby came to the rescue once again and recommended an excellent agent in the area of Nova Scotia that we were moving to! Gaby has also provided us with practical advice and first hand knowledge on home repair and renovation. She has an excellent eye for colour and style and has on many occasions assisted us with decorating ideas and colour choices, to fabulous reviews. We would, without hesitation, recommended Gaby to anyone looking to purchase or sell his or her home. If only we could convince her to move to Nova Scotia.

We would like to offer a hearty recommendation for Gaby Piper-Crawley as an excellent real estate agent. She assisted us in selling our home and in purchasing a great condo.

However her skills and services were even more appreciated when it came to preparing our house to sell. Downsizing is not easy and can at times appear overwhelming. However with Gaby’s discrete suggestions and actual hands on assistance we tackled the preparations confidently and successfully.

We were fortunate to have had Gaby’s experience, positive outlook and professionalism to sell our house quickly. When there is confidence and trust in your agent the process becomes less arduous and even pleasant. We are thrilled with our new home and wish Gaby every success in her future endeavours. Give her a call. We are glad that we did!!

Downsizing from the family home to a condominium. Your years of experience and obvious excitement about real estate made our house sale a most satisfying one. From the initial meeting you put us at ease – explaining clearly the procedure of marketing our home of 36 years and responding thoughtfully to our questions.

The agent open house was done with panache! The many (over 30) agents it attracted stimulated much interest in our home.
When it came to negotiations, we were glad you were in our corner, as you proved to be very confident, knowledgeable, and always working in our best interest.

Thank you for handling the sale of our home in such a caring and professional manner. We have recommended you highly to friends and neighbours, and we will continue to do so.

First time buyer.

Buying my first home is probably one of the biggest risks that I have ever taken. Working with Gaby to make a dream come true was definitely the easiest part of the whole experience.

Gaby was patient and kind, when I needed direction and guidance she was able to steer me down the most appropriate roads. I never felt like I had to make a decision I wasn’t sure of. Gaby is an extremely personable and skilled real estate agent and someone that I would recommend to family and friends. In the future as I move from one location to another I will feel secure knowing that I have the support of someone I can trust.

Gaby Piper-Crawley is an outstanding representative, very knowledgeable and an exceptional strategic thinker. Gaby sold my mother's home. She was dedicated and navigated all issues and problems with the greatest professionalism, patience and insight. We found that our interests were always her priority and we would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you Gaby!

Downsizing from 4 bedroom 2 storey on a huge lot with pool to more manageable 3 bedroom bungalow I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Gaby Piper-Crawley as my realtor. Throughout the entire process Gaby was professional, conscientious and motivated. I always felt as though I was her only client.

Gaby checked multiple sources to verify that the asking price of my house was accurate and met the goal of selling the house quickly. Consequently it sold in one day and for the exact selling price. On the purchase end, when I was willing to increase the price range for the house I was hoping to buy, Gaby guided me to stay within my financial comfort zone and showed me a wide variety of potential homes in the areas I designated.

Gaby's kind and gentle manner made the transition to my new home smooth and worry free. I would recommend her services to others seeking a positive real estate experience.
