This is our first experience of buying a home in Canada, although our time coincided with actual crazy market time. In NS province, we are new and knew not much about the local places. For us, it was very important to find an agent who knows everything about the province. So, we found Andrew. A local family recommended us, Andrew Murray, as they worked with him and were satisfied with his work. Andrew recommended us to his colleague Simon, who met us during the first visit to the house. We were a bit sad about why Andrew decided to give us another specialist and he didn't come to work with us. We had no experience at all working with agents, and we did not know what to do. We viewed the first house with Simon.
We are very pleased with Simon's work. He is a real professional in his field and very attentive to details. When we did not understand something, he explained to us everything several times and in as many details as it can be possible. Simon helped us to choose a house not only just for clients but more as for his good friends. We had lost many offers due to the current market. Simon every time was very active and responsive, doesn't matter if it is the day, night, or weekend. We remember in one day he had surgery and after it, he went to view a house for us.
During these almost 5 months of working with Simon, he became a very close friend to us, an advisor, a guide, and even sometimes a psychologist. Sometimes we had disagreements about which house needs to be viewed or no. Here Simon shared with us his opinion which many times helped us to find the right way.
Simon did everything professionally, he is not only an excellent realtor for us but also a good advisor and teacher. Since we are from another country and many things are completely different, thanks to Simon, we learned the whole system of building and buying houses in NS. He always gave us enough time so that we could understand everything and choose the right one. We trusted him 100% and we do not regret it. We also recommended him to another person from Montreal who is looking for something here in NS.
Simon was present at all provided house inspections and he was present and involved in all stages of buying the house. The most important factor of Simon is that he has humanity, unfortunately in our time, this is a very rare quality that people have. Thanks a lot to people like Simon! We don't know anything about all other colleagues from Andrew's team, but we are convinced that Simon pretends to be and should be nominated in the company as the hard worker realtor of the year. We are happy that we found finally our house and on another side, we are sad as our communication with Simon is minimized.
Sorry if our review was very long, we tried to use all the words of gratitude that exist in English, because Simon deserves them 100%. read more
