| “We called the Martels because their
Guaranteed Sale Program interested us. We needed them to guarantee the
sale of our home since we had just purchased our dream home in a
different province. This program gave us the peace of mind and
reassurance that our home was sold, no matter what happened. Our home
was listed and we are very excited to say that we sold within 2 days
and at 102.5% of market value! Having sold our homes in the past with
several different Real Estate Sales
Representatives, this was by far our best experience and we would not
hesitate to recommend the Martels to anyone!” |

“We chose the Martels
because we kept noticing their name all over town. When we met them we
were already sold on their marketing techniques. They also recommended
tips on how to prepare our home before the sale that could enable us to
market the property at a much higher asking price than the latest sale
in our neighbourhood. We really wanted to sell fast due to our 2 little
ones at home and so we decided to try this strategy since the Martels
seemed confident it would work out. It sure did!
We sold within 2 days and for 104% of our asking price!” |

"Thanks to Team Martels
From day one, members of the Martels team, Lucie in particular, worked with us always moving forward to get to a successful conclusion. Although it took longer than expected to sell our home, throughout the process Lucie and the various other members of the Martels team were always helpful, very positive and encouraging, telling us, “don’t worry, it will sell”. As a professional, Lucie gave us her perspective of the market and shared her thought process about what was happening and what buyers tended to be looking for when shopping for a new place to live.
Lucie was patient walking us through the process, discussing options, never pressuring, always supportive. In the end we took action on her thought process and the house sold in less than a week at a positive price level.
Our thanks to Lucie and the Martels team for all their help and guidance throughout this process on one of the major activities on the road of life.
Travail bien fait et merci beaucoup!"

"I filled out a Free Over the Net Home
Evaluation form that I read about on a Postcard I received and received
my report back promptly. I then decided I wanted to meet with someone
from their team to get the exact pricing of my property. At the meeting
Valérie gave me lots of tips on how to prepare my home for the sale to
ensure I could get the absolute top dollar for my property. I followed
her instruction and soon after I was ready to put the house on the
market.
Within 12 days my home was sold and for over 102% of my asking price I
liked that I was courteously updated by Valérie and the team on all the
progress during the listing and the sale. I could'nt have asked for a
better and smoother experience and I will without a doubt recommend the
Martels to any friends or family Thank you" |

Calgary and needed to sell my house in Ottawa ASAP. What attracted me
to the Martels was their Guaranteed Sale program. I wasn’t always in
town their toll free accessibility was convenient for me and they were
able to accommodate me for the meeting. We discussed the sale of my
house and the option of the guaranteed sale. This was the perfect
program for me. We signed the guaranteed sale agreement at a price that
was accepted by me and which gave me complete peace of mind that my
house was sold no matter what. My house hit the market sold within 20
days and the Martels were able to get me 99% of my asking price This is
exactly what I needed minimal hassle and great results” |

Martels team for their excellent assistance in selling our home. What
attracted us to the Martels was their experience in military moves. The
list of items and number of transactions that needed to be done in the
sale of one home and the purchase of another is quite overwhelming,
however, Martels’ professional team and understanding of military moves
made the whole process a lot easier and much less stressful. We would
like to thank David Hill for all his assistance and knowledge in the
administrative work as well as Lucie for her excellent negotiations and
leadership to sell our home. Thank you Martels, we enjoyed working with
you." |

"We wanted to write and thank
the Martel’s team for their dedicated efforts in helping us to buy our
first home. It was comforting to have professionals guide us through
the process as we found it could be overwhelming. It was a very smooth
and non-stressful transaction thanks help from the whole team at
Martels Real Estate.
You can tell that Valerie (our sales representative) really put the
time and effort into researching the different areas we were interested
in and making sure she always had our best interest in mind. She took
her time with us, making sure we understood each step of the way.
The most important point for us was during the negotiation process. We
had complete trust in Valerie's ability to negotiate the best deal for
us.
The whole team was always available and willing to meet at any time.
All my questions were answered promptly and we enjoyed our working
relationship. We are very happy with our new home and would not
hesitate to recommend you to others. Without any doubt, when we will
make another purchase or sale, we will definitely use the services of
the Martel’s because we will know that everything will be handled by
professionals and the process will be flawless.
Thank you so much Valerie and all the Martel’s team for making our
first home purchase a breeze. We are so grateful!" |

“Mrs.
Lucie Martel,
The Thomsen family would like to thank you so much for selling our
condo. After a year of trying to sell our condo through 2 other
realtors both who told us we would not get the amount we were asking
for and in fact would have a loss in order to take it off our hands. We
had lost hope that it would ever be sold. We were at a loss of hope
when we hired you. You took time with us and sold our property at our
original asking price. We are very grateful for your service and
commitment to your customers.” |

decided to list with the Martels because we kept seeing their “SOLD”
signs everywhere! We noticed homes in the neighbourhood were selling
very quickly with them and we wanted the same result for our home sale.
We needed to move quick and the Martels made it happen! We sold in 22
days and for 98.5% of our listing price! Having now sold, we had to
find a home. Valerie helped us for our purchase and negotiated us a
good price for the home we wanted. We are very happy with the results
of our purchase and sale! Thank you to the whole team for making this
experience very quick and most of all, stress free!" |

“For over 1 year I was contemplating
on selling my house. I met with Lucie Martel originally to discus and
to let me know what was needed to get top dollar for my house It was a
long list. I decided at the time to try and list privately without
doing the work needed. The house market wasn’t doing so well and
realized through this attempt that much time and effort was needed on
my part to go through the selling process. A year later once the work
on my house was close to completion I was ready to attempt to sell
again. I toyed with the idea of doing it privately but going through
this process a year earlier time and effort kept me from trying again.
I made a decision to meet with 2 different companies to discuss my
sale. I choose The Martel’s both offered the same type of service but
having more employees’ backing the Martel Real Estate Sales Representative was what won me
over.
The house sold fast and for over the asking price. I always thought
that the commission charged on a sale of a house was a too high but the
service I received from the Martel Group was excellent and made the
commission less of an issue.
Thanks for your professional service. " |

now your clients Miriam Saumer and Benoit Stockless during their house
hunting trip to Ottawa in late May. This was a very stressful time for
them and when they returned to Kingston they could not praise you
enough. They felt that the referral to the Martels team was an
excellent choice everyone was very well organized and on top of
everything from beginning to end."
It is a nice feeling to know that your clients are in good hands when
you refer them off to a new destination. I will be happy to send any of
my clients that are moving to Ottawa to you. Should you have anybody
moving to Kingston I would be pleased to help. I look forward to
working with you in the future.

“When
we found out we were being relocated back to Ottawa we immediately
called the Martels. Lucie was our Real Estate Sales Representative for previous
transactions and we were confident in her services. We needed to
purchase a home and in the usual short time frame. We were paired up
with Valerie for our house hunting trip and she did great! We found our
home within the first day our offer was done and accepted the 2nd day
and the rest was a breeze.
As usual the whole team was there for us when we needed them and the
stress that can come with purchasing a house in such a short time frame
was once again avoided. Thank you to the Martels and their team for all
their help We can’t wait to move into our new home” |

"We
had already purchased and sold through the Martels before. We did not
hesitate to call them back this time around for our next purchase and
sale. Although it took more time to sell our principal property, we
always felt the support from everyone, we still got guidance as to what
our game plan was and we were still marketed to the maximum. The house
we had purchased earlier ended up being the one we decided to sell in
the end. It sold within 1 week and for 100% of our asking price! The
Martel Team were fabulous and very supportive. We could not ask for a
better team to represent us and our needs. And should we decide to sell
again in the future, we would not hesitate to use them again."

“We were here for our house hunting
trip and we used the Martels as our representatives. On our 2nd full
day of visiting houses, we found the house on which we wanted to make
an offer. Our Real Estate
Sales Representative felt the house
was overpriced and advised us to make a lower offer. After the seller
countered with their firm price, we were ready to accept, but our Real Estate Sales Representative talked to the
seller's representative and managed to negotiate another 2,500$ off the
purchase price! We got the house we wanted for 9,500$ less that their
asking price! Thank you for all your help, we are very happy with the
outcome!”

| “We were slightly nervous to list our
home as we had already purchased another property. What would we do if
our home didn’t sell fast enough? The Guaranteed Sale is what caught
our attention but we were told by another real estate professional that
these advertisements were simply a marketing trap. After giving it some
thought, we decided to meet with the Martels and see what it was all
about. This was EXACTLY what we needed. The guaranteed sale gave us the
reassurance that our house was sold, in time, no matter what happened
AND the bonus, we sold for 100% of the market value we had discussed at
our meeting! This program is NOT a gimmick and we really appreciated
this option when listing with the Martels. We were also very impressed
by the knowledgeable staff and by the professionalism shown by our Real Estate Sales Representative Lucie Martel". |

"The
Martels sold my home for $30,000 more than what I thought it was worth.
We didn't think that the value for $400,000 was actually there. Lucie
convinced us that is was, based on us doing some upgrades. She was
right and we appreicated that so very much. We trusted her judgement
and she was bang on!
Thanks
for your help and assistance in the past. All the best."

Martels a couple of years back and our experience was very positive.

than what we had expected! Thank you for exceeding our expectations,

“Having
experienced previous moves due to military postings we knew it critical
to find the best fit for us, in terms of realtor. We found that fit
with the Martels whose professional team was clearly experienced,
professional and responded to our goal of ensuring the best sale price
given the current market, in a focussed manner. Their strategy? List at
an "interesting" market value, create high demand by pausing before
scheduling viewings and designate a separate date to entertain offers.
It definitely worked! We received 104% of our asking price!
We appreciated their Ottawa market savvy tips on how to prepare our
home for sale, thought the feature sheet was well composed and, in
particular, found their electronic feedback system, direct from other
realtors, to be most helpful!
During this time we must admit to having one regret ... the Martel Team
had not been the ones to help us buy our property, in the first place.
Thank you to the Martels for a job well done! ”

I
just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent
service you and your team provided during the sale of our house on Old
Montreal Road.
This is
our 5th house sale over the past 12 years and your team has been by far
the best realtors we have ever dealt with. We have found in the past
that our homes were not marketed very well and communication only
happened when someone wanted us to drop our price. This was not the
case with your team, we can clearly see that our home was marketed in
many different locations and your feature sheets were very presentable.
You and
your team kept us updated every step of the way and it was very clear
that you were working for what was best for us as your client.

They did guarantee the sale of my
home!
The

up getting more that the market value, I received 100% of the asking
price.

The Martels guaranteed a couple’s
homes so they could buy ours!
They
explained to us that they don’t only put a for sale sign like all the
other realtors. Instead, they are proactive and open the door to 70%
more buyers because they will buy the home of any buyer out there. They
were not kidding! They bought a couple’s homes so they could buy ours.

Mr. & Mrs. Finner

I thought it was a gimmick!
But
then they sat with me & explained that this Guarantee is merely
to hold themselves accountable to the sale of my home and to relieve me
all from my financial stresses having already bought a new home.
Martels Real Estate gave me an offer on mine to give me the peace of
mind knowing I had a backup plan.

It
is with great pleasure that we offer our sincere appreciation to the
entire Martels real estate team. It was without hesitation that we
chose to contact Lucie Martel when it came time to sell our home in
Orleans and the experience was both successful and rewarding. From our
initial interview it was clear that we had chosen the correct realtor
team as Lucie’s professional and direct approach were exactly that we
were looking for. The knowledge, experience and vision or the Martels
Inc were clearly conveyed to us by Lucie during her visit with us and
were evidently displayed throughout the entire process of selling our
house.
We found the team’s approach both unique and refreshing. The
professional guidance offered throughout the entire process was up
front and honest and represents a key reason for choosing the Martels
Real Estate Inc. In closing we wish to re-iterate that our experience
with Martel Inc lived up to all expectations and surpassed all the
reviews offered to us by friends and family who have solicited your
custom before us. We will eventually return to Ottawa in the very near
future and we will not hesitate to contact you upon our return.
Many Thanks to the entire Martels Inc team! |

We would like to take this
opportunity to express our gratitude for the outstanding service you
and your team provided us during our recent house hunting trip. Your
business name came recommend to us by a friend who recently transferred
to Ottawa and we quickly came to understand why. From the friendly
greeting at the door from Jamie when we first arrived, to the well
planned and thorough presentation of houses that followed.
Everything was first rate and professionally done. Being with the RCMP
we are quite familiar with moving process, however being our first move
out of the province, to a city not well known to us, you, the Martels
were instrumental in providing us with the needed assistance for a
successful house hunting trip. We have found that one of the most
stressful parts of relocating is the selling and purchasing of a home.
Following the experience we enjoyed in dealing with the Martels.
I will definitely be talking to them when it comes time for us to move
on to another location and would recommend their services to anyone
looking to purchase a home in the Ottawa area. |

We would like to take this
opportunity to thank Lucie and the rest of the Martels team for the
outstanding service assisting us in the sale of our home. We
interviewed three realtors when deciding to sell our house. We chose
the Martels because we were very comfortable right from the onset with
your approach and the dedication to us and other clients.
We felt totally at ease with Lucie because of her professionalism and
honesty. We appreciate Lucie’s guidance and expertise through the whole
process. We felt that the personal attention goes a very long way and
the follow-ups made everything a little less stressful. We will
definitely be recommending you to any friends and family that want to
sell or buy a home in Ottawa. |

| After
finding a home that we really wanted to move into, we realized we had
to sell ours first. But, we did not want to lose the home of our
dreams. Martels Real Estate solved our dilemma—they made an offer on
our home in writing so we could put a firm offer with no conditions.
And even better, they sold our home for 99.9% of list price in less
then 2 days. |

alliez vendre notre maison à notre entière satisfaction et vous avez
tenu votre parole complètement.
Nous

We
recently bought and sold through The Martels. They are hard working,
friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Jacques and Lucie were
extremely Patient with us while we searched for our new home. They
never pressured us into a decision even though we had searched for
almost a year.
Jacques
and Lucie cares about all aspects of client’s interest and go well out
of their way to get the best results for their clients. The whole
Martel Team is always on top of everything; they disclosed all
information upfront and were very easy to deal with. They were always
there to answer our many questions. We would recommend them to our

This

prospective clients with the confidence that they are hiring the best
of top notch real estate sales representatives. Our experience with
your firm was extremely satisfying and exceeded our expectations. You
were strongly recommended by clients who are friends of ours, and we
were not disappointed! It also set our minds at ease knowing Martels
were knowledgeable and compliant with IRP procedures and policies.
Your
level of expertise in all areas is second to none. We were impressed by
your courteous and caring staff, the speedy responses to our questions
by long distance even before our arrival, and your overall expert
knowledge of the market. We always felt you were making us your
priority and that we had your undivided attention. We felt confident we
were on the right track at all times. Decision making was made easy by
the extensive research you had on hand regarding market trends,
appropriate home prices in the applicable areas, and information about
the quality of workmanship by local builders and contractors we should
expect.
The
negotiation phase was flawless, largely due to your familiarity with
other realtors, knowing what to say and how to represent our interests,
and your overall very positive “can do” attitude throughout the whole
process. Equally important was your ability to recommend other service
providers - inspectors, lawyers and insurance firms. They were not only
participants compliant with IRP procedures and policies, they were
completely competent and trustworthy

From the first contact to the end,
your team has been most helpful in assisting us finding our new home.
Having only 5 days to search, look, choose and complete the purchase of
a house, we expected a stressful experience. However, it turned out to
be a smooth event with no problems at all.
We appreciated that you took the time
to contact us prior to our arrival to determine our needs, specific
requests and get to know us to help us with the search of properties
that were adequate for us. This enabled us to focus on properties that
matched our need. We appreciate that your team, planned everything from
beginning to end for us (from the listings visited, inspection booking
to the legal representation).
From the moment, we stepped in your
office, we felt that we were in the hands of dedicated and caring
professionals. Special thanks to Tim. He has gone beyond the call of
duty, was professional and most helpful in not only finding a house,
but in educating us on essential information about the area. We will
definitely refer our team to our friends and co-worker. You made this
House Hunting Trip a piece a cake..... We can't say thank you enough.
