My wife and I found Jackalin O’Brien to be very helpful, very professional and outstanding in terms of addressing our needs as buyers. We are delighted with her efforts and service and recommend her without hesitation. If you want prompt, attentive and professional service, go with Jackalin!

We found Re/Max and our Rep. Jackalin O’Brien to be over & above the expected. She showed us so many places & my Hubby had her jumping through hoops, which she did with a smile!
We are indebted to her for her time and effort in helping us find the right place. Thank you!

We were very (extremely) pleased with the levels of expertise, professionalism and thorough care, which was given to us on both the purchase and sale of our home. We would highly recommend Remax Country Classics Brokerage Ltd. (Bancroft) & would not hesitate to use their services again. Thanks again Jackalin for all your help!

When we are making a major decision like this, it is so important to have a realtor who can answer questions and find out pertinent information, so we can make a wise offer,with confidence. Our realtor gave us this and more.

We are grateful for the experience to have Jackalin work on our behalf. She shows a dedication and compassion to her clientele. She works very hard at fulfilling her clients dreams. Thanks Jackalin!

Jackalin went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me with more than one long distance real estate deal. She spent hours helping me and never missed a detail. There was never pressure, just endless patience, honesty, information and constant support. I will always be greatful for all she has done to help me find the real estate I was looking for.

Ted and Jackalin:We wanted to thank you both for the expertise and professionalism you showed when selling our home and purchasing our new one. Thanks to you everything went smoothly. We would (and do) recommend your team without hesitation. Thanks again,

Ted, Jackalin & Vicki: I want to thank you all for your hard work in our house purchase. You guys are amazing, I recommend you whenever I get the opportunity, in fact, I probably go on too much. Cody and I love the house & area. Thanks again,

Hi Ted and Vicki

We wanted to thank you, it has been a pleasure working with you and look forward to our next sale!!

cheers

Thanks so much for helping us find our spot of paradise! You were quick off the mark to let us know that the property was available, we are both sure, that because of this we were able to secure the land. You always seem available, not many realtors can boast that fact.

Jackalin is THE Best! We moved here from out of the area so alot of our trips had to be weekends (even a holiday in there) and there was always someone there to help you. Ted & Vicki would help out as well. And using e-mail was a great added bonus. We took so long in selling our home and finally buying something, I would not have blamed her if she had given up on us!! But so glad she didn’t…we are FINALLY home! (still loving it after 1 year and a bit)

Whatever we needed, whenever we needed it, Jackalin O’Brien made it happen.

Trying to make an offer, counter offers, finalizing the deal and managing the timing of a follow up visit and the cottage inspection from hundreds of kilimetres away had the potential of being very stressful. Jackalin acted as the facilitator for all of it, kept us informed constantly and took the worry out of it.

Even after we had completed the closing, Jackalin was still looking after us and arranged for removal of snow from the roof this winter on our behalf. Saying she went the extra mile would be an understatement. We realized a dream and Jackalin was a huge help to us!

Just wanted to say thank you to Jackalin O’Brien. Jackalin,Ted and Vicki were always available to us and answered our questions quickly and courteously. We were from out of town and had to see as many properties as we could on weekends or days off. From the offer to the closing they made everything run smoothly. We love it here.
