Jim and Iris,
Thanks for all your help through the process. The goal was to sell the property and regardless of the time required it is now completed.
We would be happy to work with you again or refer you to any of our friends for their real estate needs in Muskoka.
Peter and Janine

We would like to express our sincere thanks to you for your services of the past fifteen months which have resulted in the sale of our cottage on Lake Muskoka. We are very pleased that we decided initially to list our cottage with you.  Along with your assistants Lesley-Anne and Amanda you have provided a superb level of support to us in all aspects:

a) helping us get the cottage ready for showing,

b) developing pictoral and text advertising displays for local and Toronto print media plus handout brochures for agents and prospects,

c) creating an advertising strategy with maximum exposure to our target audience,

d) providing us with helpful feedback from potential buyers,

e) giving professional advice when offers were made by interested buyers and guiding us through the negotiation process, and

f) generally doing everything in your power to promote the sale through your contacts with other brokers. Throughout this whole process your communication with us was first rate.  You were always available to answer our questions promptly and take action where needed.  Your insight, advice and support during the actual sale process was invaluable. Again, many thanks for helping us in so many ways through an extended period to reach a successful conclusion!

Iris Gardiner paid close attention to the things that I responded to during the first few showings and was soon able to promise me that they would find exactly what I was looking for.
“You know what? She was right. It worked out perfect. I just love it, I love the location, the cottage; I love everything,”
      A.T. (Lake Muskoka Purchaser) Quoted from Muskoka Showcase article

"The vacation time is always too short.  It is so nice here! Thank you for finding this great cottage for us!"

I have dealt with Jim Gardiner for seven years and have found him to be a caring and knowledgeable agent.  He was able to help me through a difficult severance process and I have relied on him ever since for his keen insight into the processes of buying, planning and building on properties in Muskoka.

We came to Muskoka in 2006 looking for a new home and community.  We met with Jim and Iris and immediately felt comfortable and confidant that they would be able to find the type of house we wanted in the best location we could afford. I will admit that we were not the easiest clients to please.  Our list of wants and "must haves" was long and specific, including a lot that we could put a swimming pool on.  Because of their extensive real estate knowledge and years in the community, they were able to find us just the right property, within our budget. We moved into our new home and community in July 2007 and we could not be happier. They have continued to help us settle in, by referring trades, stores and services that have helped make the transition less stressful and a little more enjoyable.

"We can't say too many good things about the wonderful help we received from Jim and Iris in the purchase of our cottage property several years ago.  We have had a reasonable amount of experience in buying real estate and we have never met two people that were such accomplished "listeners" and thoroughly understood our needs and desires.  We put our total faith in their professionalism and we were rewarded in every way."

"Having spent two years searching across Central Ontario for "just the right cottage", Jim and Iris helped my family finally find the perfect spot on Lake Muskoka.  Their patience and knowledge of the market makes me a very satisfied customer and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends and clients.

I have nothing but good things to say about Jim Gardiner. I am probably his most meticulous buyer to date and he satisfied my requests for information as fast as he could and to the best of his ability.  He really knows his stuff, knows the properties, the locations.  I could tell he had done his research.  I know Iris has too.  I am also extremely happy with and trust their judgement with their recommendations for tradespeople, which every cottage owner will need.
