Michael Lederman is absolutely amazing to work with. As first-time buyers, we were full of questions and insecurities. Before finding Michael, we had worked with another real estate agent who seemed uncommitted, was hesitant to answer our questions, and whose answers were often incomplete when he did reply - before literally giving up on us without the courtesy of even letting us know. Everything changed once we started working with Michael. He spent time talking us through everything, never hesitated to answer our questions, and was thorough, timely, and understanding of our needs and situation. His friendliness, good nature, and industry experience are unmistakable qualities. He's a professional with integrity who values you as a person instead of a number. It's obvious that he loves what he does, and we found his passion reassuring. It seemed like an impossible task - finding the perfect family home at an affordable price, in the middle of a pandemic, and in time to have our kids registered at their new schools. Michael jumped to the challenge and laid out all of our options and the potential paths we could take. He built us a plan that made sense. He found suitable listings and used his connections to get us in for visits with almost no notice. Michael walked us through the entire process and never hesitated to answer our many questions, providing valuable clarification and insights at every step. He also recommended (at our request) a broker and home inspector who both came through for us as well. Michael prioritized our circumstances and needs over his bottom line. We were interested in several homes and it would have been very easy for him to push us towards the most expensive ones (which would have meant a larger cut for him), but he consistently reminded us of what our initial spending target was and kept us to it at a time when we were getting desperate and could have been pushed into spending more than we initially wanted to. We had little-to-no prior real estate experience, we were rushed, and we could have been influenced easily. Michael could have taken advantage of that, but instead he used those factors to reassure and guide us. We found our family home, within our intended price range, and in time for our kids to be registered at their new schools. We couldn't have done it without him. Our entire family is beyond grateful. When it came time to make an offer, Michael really shined. We were competing with other buyers, but his communication skills and industry knowledge got our bid accepted, despite the seller receiving higher offers. The seller even made a point of telling us that our agent was amazing and that his savvy was the primary reason our offer was accepted so quickly (literally less than half an hour later - and without cutting any corners or skipping on conditions)! If it wasn't for Michael, we would have either had to pay a lot more than we did, or would have had to settle for an inferior home. We cannot recommend Michael enough, but will continue to at every chance we get, and will definitely go to him for any future real estate needs we have. If you're buying or selling a home in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, Michael Lederman is the guy you want! Give him a call - you'll know you've struck gold within the first few minutes. His communication skills, honesty and integrity, industry knowledge, and passion cannot be overstated. Michael seems to live and breathe real estate while keeping client satisfaction his genuine priority which, in this industry, seems to be a very rare combo. His humour and personality made him an absolute pleasure to work with, to the point that while we're very happy to have found our home and be done with the market, we miss our chats and visits with him. Working with Michael is like working with a friend - a friend with more experience and passion for his trade than you're likely to find anywhere else. Michael, if you read this - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! - Josh read more

So we enter a new chapter in life - so many goodbyes but time in the quintessential point lives to be with our family, those who will follow us on this journey. When one has the vision to move forward in faith, one needs the encouragement to "go for it." the encouragement of co-workers and thankful for our operation that can truly brag that it now extends from sea to sea - Alderney Landing on the Atlantic to Vancouver Harbour Centre on the Pacific. the encouragement of family to solidify links between our historical past and future family in the East Coast with those back in the centre - and to increase visitation the encouragement from brothers and sisters in Christ who are highly cognizant of our life together in the hereafter when we will meet again (though visits will happen in between) and the foretaste of our experiences in worship and fellowship But none of this happens without ...... the encouragement of a true professional who used his tremendous and entertaining creativity to tell the story of a house - as part of our human experience rather than a pure edifice - and the joy and trust to send us forward into our new life knowing that he has every eventuality under control. Thank you Michael !!' It has been a pleasure to meet and share with you and while having arrived will continue to enjoy by technology your stories of visions be pursued and attained. read more

J'ai fait affaire avec Michael Lederman à la suite d'une recherche sur internet pour un agent immobilier. Honnêtement, j'ai reçu un service exceptionnel de sa part! Nous sommes des gens avec des attentes très élevés et comme notre objectif était pour l'achat de notre toute première maison, nous étions craintifs de tous les choses qui viennent avec l'achat d'une propriété. Nous avions énormément de questions et de craintes et cette expérience se passait durant la COVID19 (été 2020). Michael a su nous nous guider, nous rassurez et il a pris son temps répondre à tous nos questions et nous as appris tellement de choses. Il était à l'écoute de nos craintes et grâce à lui, nous avons réussi à acheter la maison que l'on voulait! Il a su nous conseiller rapidement et efficacement. Michael est logique et intuitif. Il prend bien soins de ses clients. À la toute fin, au moment de faire l'offre d'achat, il nous a donner des suggestions que nous avons suivi et notre offre a été accepter le même jour sans avoir à payer un prix fou. Du début jusqu'à la fin, Michael a été merveilleux. On n'a la maison qu'on voulait et nous avons rester sous notre budget initial! Si vous avez la chance de faire affaire avec lui, je vous le suggère fortement! Il est bilingue et ceci a été super pour moi qui est francophone et mon conjoint qui est anglophone. Cet agent a de la passion et ça se ressent! read more

Michael Lederman recently helped me buy my first house. After 32 years of rentals, I was more than ready enough to be my own landlord! Little did I know the journey Michael, my partner, and I would take... and, i'm happy to say that in addition to buying a house, I've also gained a friend in Michael. Long story short, the week that we decided to put the offer in on the house we ended up purchasing was one of the busiest at my work in months. And, we were looking to buy in a different province with rules and regulations that we can't read (my partner and I both moved from Ottawa to Aylmer; we grew up in Anglo homes, but we're excited to learn French). I honestly don't know how we would have made it through that time without Michael's support, and his thorough network of professionals. We probably wouldn't be homeowners right now without him. Need a super quality house inspector? Michael knows a guy. Need a notary? He's got someone super solid. After the move... need a physio therapist? Michael knows a fantastic woman. I always felt like I was in good hands with Michael and that he would advocate for our needs relentlessly. We met a number of folk who have known Michael for years throughout this process as well, and everyone only had good things to say about their friend. So. Need a realtor in Gatineau? Give Michael a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

It's been a very intense 3 week-process, selling this house. It's my 6th property in 15 years (including 3 rentals) in Quebec. But this process has been by far the quickest and most efficient one with my realtor. There was no challenge too big for him! I had a stress-free and drama-free process, having Michael Lederman as a realtor and I am very thankful that our paths have crossed for this project. I would not have been able to handle that transaction by myself because there were several challenges, and Michael took care of them all. He is bilingual, extremely professional and knowledgeable. His handling of both sides of the transaction has been flawless. He advised me to wait for other higher offers but I was ready to move on and sell to my second offer after just a few days on the market. I am closing the chapter on buying a property in Quebec but Michael Lederman, the realtor, is already on my speed dial for any of my contacts and loved ones who want to buy or sell in Quebec!

We are writing to express my pleasure with real estate agent Michael Lederman, who represented us in our recent sale of a semi-detached house. Michael helped us through the entire process and we credit him with a smooth, stress-free home-sale experience. This is our second sale of property, and never had we had such a pleasurable experience. Michael is savvy, personable and knows the market inside and out. He is an extremely proactive sales professional, and does not believe in waiting for opportunity to come to him. Even when he already advertised our house in many web-sites and social media, he would still tried very hard to find any potential buyers. We are really surprised with the fact how he could find the buyer and made the sale happen in a tough market. We believe it would be very hard to find a more successful real estate agent than Michael, and we strongly recommend him. read more

He also gets you in touch with highly competent people to look after your mortgage, home inspection, and legal documents. What I found impressionable with Michael is that he keeps up with you. He listens attentively to what you need and adapts to your needs as you go along. He is always in communication with you, keeps you informed about updates, and wants you to update him. He is always available when you need him most. He truly cares about the people he represents and works very hard to provide top-notch service. I don't know what I look forward to more, moving into my future home or the day where I will go through the process with Michael again. read more
