Testimonials

… we owe the success of purchasing our new home to your expertise, market knowledge, and determination to succeed…

A major consideration in choosing you to represent us was a reference we received from our daughter and son-in-law whose house you recently sold. They were correct in telling us that you listen to what the client is saying, you have market knowledge that is current and you really do set your clients’ needs and wants as the top priority.

We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending you to anyone that needs true real estate Professionals

Thanks again for all you help,

Phil & Gail, Greely

Phil and Pam are great realtors and what they did for us to buy a property and selling the existing one was beyond expectation. We had worked with a few other realtors in the past and this experience was totally different.

We found Pam and Phil by putting a question on social media (reddit) to ask for a good realtor in Ottawa, and got recommendations from a few people. Pam was born in Ottawa and Phil has spent most of his life here as well.

Phil gave us a few 3 hour tours of the city and properties; he quickly showed us many properties and knows all small streets around the city and the houses on them without ever using a map. He knows the history of many houses in different neighborhoods and even the story of their current residents. He gives good professional opinion on the viewings and helped us buy a house we are very happy with.

Pam and Phil did great on selling our old property after we found the new one; they provided assistance with the decluttering which definitely helped with selling faster. Our property got sold in 2 weeks (in a neighborhood where the houses have been on the market for 1 month on average this year). Pam handled the negotiations very well when we received two offers on the same day on the house.

They are also super quick at responding emails and phone calls.

I totally recommend working with Phil and Pam as realtors, this was a very good experience.

We write this unsolicited testimonial to express our heartfelt gratitude to Phillip and Pamela Marcus, real-estate agents extraordinaire. When we met Phil and Pam, we had been searching for two years for our dream home.  Just one month after Phil began advising us, we successfully purchased a home that far exceeded our most ambitious expectations. The home is located on the most beautiful street in the neighborhood we wanted to live in, and we marvel at the fact that we are its owners. From the moment we became Phil and Pam’s clients, we knew ourselves to be in the hands of real professionals. Phil and Pam work as a true team, expertly handling negotiations and shepherding us through the process of submitting offers and counteroffers with experience, authority, and grace. There is no doubt in our minds that their help and expertise were integral to this purchase, and that without their aid we would still be looking. We will always have fond memories of this adventure, and we hope to remain good friends in the future.

Thank you for your help in buying our new home and selling our existing home. Your professionalism and advice were invaluable, not to mention that we loved working with you! You eased all our first-time home selling jitters. Your arranging the home stagers, taking care of all the little details—it was a life saver for us as a family with two working parents and busy kids. Not to mention that our house sold so quickly! We’re convinced that we couldn’t have done it without you. Once again—thank you! We would definitely recommend you with high praise to anyone!

We did the impossible with the help of Phillip and Pam.  Just before we headed on a 3 week summer holiday, we happened upon an Open House in our neighborhood that intrigued us.   3 days later while on vacation I couldn’t shake the idea of moving and contacted Phillip and Pam to see what they new about the house (as we really weren’t actively looking at the time). One thing led to another and in what would turn out to be one of the most unbelievable true stories ever – we managed to buy the new house and sell our own before our 3 week vacation was over. This never would’ve happened without Phillip and Pam.  They helped us to coordinate everything – from getting us in contact with the most professional and efficient Home Staging company (Stage Rite) that turned our house from an over-clutted home of 5 to a beautiful show home.  Everything was handled by phone and email and it never slowed down our busy family vacation.   They coordinated the home inspections for us.  And when we drove home 21 days after leaving their was a ‘sold’ sign in our yard.  And to top it all off, they had even stocked our fridge with bread and milk so that we could feed the kids after the 15 hour car ride home.   It is truly a remarkable story – and a perfect example of the value provided by excellent real estate agents like Phillip and Pam Marcus.

I have been receiving your “Preferred Client” news letter regularly for the past 1 ½ years and enjoy reading it; especially the Christmas one hearing how your boys have grown. It made me think of my own life and think of my now 8 year old that will soon be all grown up.

I just remembered, after reading your current news letter, about sitting down and signing the agreement with you both for the purchase of my home.  I thought I should write you now before forgetting.

In this fiscal environment I just wanted to give you assurance that I have been very happy working with you both.  I never forget when Phillip said “buy this property”, “it’s the right one!”  He was right!

Please be assured that when someone asks me for a realtor, I will refer them to you, I have good memories of dealing with you both.

When looking for an agent to help me sell my home,  a co-worker and a friend both recommended Pam and Phillip. They spoke very highly of their talents as agents. I came to understand why they were regarded so highly by their former clients. I found Pam and Phillip to be very honest and competent. It was also a joy to work with a couple so family orientated. They understand and admire each others strengths and used them not only in the sale of my home but in the purchase of my new home. They kept me informed with feed back after each showing and were always available to me when ever I had any questions. They made selling my home as stress free as possible. I would recommend this wonderful team to anyone.

We wish to thank both Pam and Phillip for their professionalism in the sale of our home, which my wife and I had enjoyed over a 20-year period.  Their experience was the key to our sale success and was illustrated by their unique skill in anticipating the ever-changing market conditions during the period of time we had it for sale.  They were equally skilled at conveying the market trends to us through sometimes daily communication and explanation, which enabled both myself and my wife to make informed decisions on our course of action that assured our home, remained competitive throughout the selling experience.  We highly recommend Pam and Phillip Marcus to anyone considering the sale of their home with the assurance they are teaming up with a motivated and reliable couple.

Selling our house with Pam and Phillip was a very positive experience. Their dynamic team approach persuaded us to carry out helpful suggestions to upgrade our older home. At all stages of the process we were given the latest information on the selling status. It was a pleasure to work with each of them.

When we put our house on the market through Pam and Phillip we learned what it was like to work with top notch real estate professionals. They had a handle on the market and market values and our house was sold within a 72-hour period. It was handled efficiently and without any complications what so ever, thanks to their expertise. When we decided to invest in a condo, we sent our wish/want list to Pam, the price we wished to invest and within 7 days we had properties to view, decided on 1 and Pam in her efficient manner secured the property for us, under the budget we set. We are truly satisfied clients and would recommend their services and expertise to any of our friends and family.

Pamela and Phil were extremely proactive in finding a house perfectly tailored to our needs in a fast moving market. Their network of contacts and dedication were instrumental in finding beforehand about the upcoming listing. As a result, our offer was accepted even before other offers came in.

Marie-France & Martin, Manor Park

 

Pam and Phillip brought opportunity to our lives. Being first-time homebuyers, we were inexperienced and had a lot of questions. They guided us through the adventure and understood the needs of our growing family better than we did! They found us a great home in a wonderful neighbourhood. We jump at the opportunity to recommend Pam and Phillip to our friends and family and look forward to working with them again.
