"Dear Alyson,
We wanted to thank you again for all your efforts in selling 29 Cherryhill. I couldn't have chosen anyone nicer or more understanding. Appreciate your efforts and marketing items. It has been difficult for me dealing with this and my Mum's death.
Thanks again, will be in touch in the new year."

"Eight years ago we met Alyson Buckingham through friends and she managed the sale of our home at that time with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. We have just now completed another move on short notice and once again Alyson, working within very tight deadlines, successfully negotiated the sale with a level of expertise and thoroughness that gave us tremendous satisfaction. She is forthright and a delight to work with."

"Thank you for your efforts in selling our home. From our first meeting, you put us at ease and helped us through a process that was at time a whirlwind of emotions. You always made us feel that our concerns and questions were just as important to you as they were to us. We appreciated that you were never more than a phone call away and that our calls were always returned promptly. We would recommend your services to any of our friends or family."

“Even though the odds seemed stacked against us with winter storms and bad economic news on the doorstep every day, we are thrilled to have sold our home for full asking price in so short a period of time. Aly, we believe that our success was substantially due to your determination, experience and advice, all necessary pieces to our house sale puzzle. With this sale you proved the many naysayers that volunteered gloomy advice to us (eg. "selling int his market spells serious trouble") dead wrong. What can we say except thank you Aly Buckingham!”

“Thank you so much for everything you did to make the selling of the house go so smoothly, especially when it sold the second day. My first phone call to Aly assured me that I had called the right Agent. All the preparation both Alyson & Ernie put in made the sale go so well. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who wants to buy or sell a house.”

“Paul & I had to send you a note to thank you for everything you have done for us, from keeping me calm, to selling our home at warp speed. At full asking price as well, it just doesn’t get any better! You are without doubt the consummate professional – from the first time you came in the door, you have been upbeat and supportive and gave us wonderful advice. Your ability to community is first-class. Thank you for informing us at every level of the process. Thank you – thank you – THANK YOU!”

"My wife would like to thank both Aly and Ernie for the fantastic job you did in selling our home at 3993 Ellesmere Road. We got an offer within 6 days of listing with you, at a very good price! We interviewed 4 other real estate Agents, but decided to go with you in view of your familiarity with our neighbourhood, your sales record over the past few years, and our friend’s recommendation. It certainly turned out to be the right choice.” Fred and Dorothy Vinzenz

Hi Aly,

I justed wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work in helping us find and buy a new home as well as sell our current home. I know we were a bit difficult or needy or whatever you want to call it with our requirements of finding a resale home that was pet free, backing onto open space, with a view of the lake and walking distance to the GO train - and you did it!!! I always felt so comfortable asking you any question I had and knowing I would get a quick honest answer.

The advice you provided in preparing our house before we put it up for sale was invaluable. We followed all your suggestions (most of which are listed on the home staging page of your web site) and it really paid off! The painting company you recommended was excellent, the de-cluttering, new light fixtures and furniture replacement / removal obviously made a big difference and a big part of why I think we ended up getting so much more than we were expecting!"

Your strategies for marketing our home were obviously well thought out and derived from your extensive experience in real estate and your knowledge of the area we were living in. I don't think any other realtor would have been able to provide the quality of service you did and achieve the amazing end result we got. Buying our new home and selling our existing home was quite stressful and we had a lot to do in a short time. Your patience and guidance in preparing our home and always being available for questions was so reassuring it really made the entire process much easier. We were so pleased with how quickly our house sold so we could back to 'normal' life as soon as possible, it was difficult to have the house show ready with two active young boys and the less time we needed to keep it that way the better!!

You did an excellent job for us (as we knew you would) and we always reccomend you to friends when they are thinking of buying or selling.
Thanks again!

"Hi Aly,

Thank you Aly for helping my parents find and purchase a beautiful new home at 1101 Leslie Street. Your caring professionalism and thoughtfulness really made a difference and set our minds at ease.

I have to say again how you took care of us from the beginning to the very end really impressed my family. I hope we will get the opportunity to work together again.

"Dear Aly,

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you to sell our house. With outstanding professionalism, support and market expertise you juggled the tricky business of multiple bids and we were ecstatic with the results. Our house sold in 3 days over asking price. Aly, your people skills make you a delight to work with. Thank you so much for your hard work and approachability.

"Dear Alyson,

We would like to thank you so very much for all your hard work and support in helping us buy our new home and the sale of our old home. Having worked with you a few years ago on another property deal, there was no question in our minds as to whom we needed to help navigate us to a very successful purchase and sale! And once again you amazed and delighted us with your professionalism and outstanding service. Thanks again Alyson -- it was a great experience and a pleasure being clients of yours.

When we decided to seel our house, we did not hesitate to ask Alyson Buckingham to be our agent. Over the years we had received many helpful ads and brochures showing her successes. As well, in looking around our area, we saw many of her FOR SALE signs, usually with SOLD attached. That was enough to convince us that she was the right choice.

From our first conversation and subsequent meetings, she demonstrated pleasant, friendly, efficient professionalism. She effortlessly guided us through all of the steps to list the home. On the first day it was listed it was shown and on the following day we had an offer. We were astounded to receive and offer so soon but were truly blown away when it was for the full asking price. The FOR SALE sign was barely on the lawn before the SOLD was attached to it! Many thanks for having Aly as a representative!

I approached Alyson Buckingham a year ago to ask for help in getting my home in order to enable me to sell. We went from room to room and she directly made suggestions to improve the house. When the time came to list, Alyson came with a complete market analysis and through her expertise we arrived at a competitive price. Her marketing plan was promptly executed, and I was always aware of the results of showings, open houses and telephone calls without me having to contact her. Alyson is an asset to her industry and I wish her the very best in all her future endeavours, knowing she fully deserves it. Thank you Alyson! You are a professional!

"Dear Aly,

What a great experience dealing with a real pro! Congratulations and sincere thanks for selling our condo in one day and obtaining the full price requested. Your counselling onhow to stage our apartment and the updates in keeping us aware of what was available in our complex were of great value. You are truly a most knowledgeable agent as a result of your experience and involvement at Carrington. We really appreciated your great brochure and pictures which were really an asset. Best wishes for much continued success!

"Dear Aly,

We want to thank you for your assistance in selling our house. We chose you to be our listing agent because you came to the initial interview fully prepared leaving no doubt in our minds as to how you would proceed with the task. In you, we sensed a balance between a calm professional and a dynamic negotiator. And you did not disappoint us.

We were pleased with the speed at which the 'For Sale' sign appeared on our lawn, the marketing materials prepared and the house listed on MLS. We were even more pleased when the house sold in three days for the full asking price at a time when buyers' thoughts were turning to Christmas.

Throughout the process we appreciated your upbeat personality, your positive attitude and your adherance to professional and ethical practices. Thanks again for a job well done."

"Dear Aly,

What a gratifying experience and great result. Thirteen days from the "For Sale" sign going up to aceepted offer. Close to a record for this area. The spirit and determination that you brought to the presentation of our house of thirty seven years to the public was most rewarding. Your services are unexcelled and should become the norm for all real estate professionals. Lynn and I enjoyed the experience and wish you well."

"Aly Buckingham,

Christine and I thank you most sincerely for your efforts with the sale of our house. We interviewed several agents and were most satisfied with your approach for the job at hand. You are energetic but not tenacious, aggressive and off-putting. You are a careful listener who understands the client's needs and applies the learning you obtain from the meetings to meet those needs. You performed your task admirably.

You were very well prepared from the outset and you were very realistic regarding the issues for the sale of this house. As an experienced and knowledgeable professional you guided us in our decision-making. You provided a very solid, diverse and attractive marketing package from the outset. You fulfilled your promise of immediate and continuous follow-up with your advice and feedback.

Your cheery disposition, your confidence and your commitment to task helped us through the challenges that a seller faces. When a couple is trying to sell a home that they have had for more than twenty years they need good, wise and firm counsel to prepare properly. You provided such counsel and as a consequence we got the job done with the minimum of angst.

The angst came for us when the process wrapped up so quickly. Viewing of the house on the first day elicited a good offer that night. You couseled us properly to guide us through the 'shock' of the rapid sale and made us realize how very fortunate we were to have such an experience. Thank you for your wise and energetic input.

It was a joy and a pleasure working with you for our real estate adventure. We have already recommended you to many of our neighbours."

"Dear Alyson,

On behalf of my brother Elliot and myself, co-owners of the subject property, I would like to take this opportunity to commend your outstanding efforts in finding a buyer for our family heritage home in West Hill. Your dedication, rcommendations and professionalism, together with a significant level of market exposure right from the beginning were a source of satisfaction and appreciation to us. We realized that this particular residence would be a 'hard sell' particularly due to the fact that it was a heritage home surrounded by commercial property, but your outstanding efforts as well as your constant feedback to us on your progress certainly alleviated our concerns.

Your continuous presence involving the period between acceptance of the offer and closing were especially appreciated and Elliot and I unwaiveringly respect your professionalism and your dedication to your work.

Many thanks for your invaluable assistance to us and please extend our sincere appreciation to your partner Ernie MacMaster and your professional sales support."

"Dear Aly,

What an exciting week! Thanks to your hard work, dedication and enthusiastic promotion, my home sold in six days for more than the asking price! One cannot ask for more

I really appreciated your help with the presentation of the house itself and your frequent feedback. I have never sold a house before, and your caring, cheerful support made me feel I was in good hands.

The professionalism and attention to detail of yourself and your colleague Ernie MacMaster has made the whole experience a positive one. Thanks again, Aly and Ernie!"

"Dear Alyson,

I would like to take a minute to express my utmost respect for your professionalism. I interviewed three prospective agents to satisfy what I would consider my high standards. You not only met, but exceeded my expectations. You were very well prepared right from the onset. Your exuberance to get the best value, your marketing strategies, and your pleasant demeanour had me sold. You listened carefully and explored all the avenues which resulted in me finding the house of my dreams."

Having lived in our home for over 30 years we were not looking forward to all the details involved with listing and selling a home. From our first meeting, your presentation was professional and realistic and your cheery disposition certainly put us at ease. We felt that you were the one who could market the house to its best advantage and help us get a fair price."

"Our thanks go out to you in so many ways. Your experience, knowledge and confidence helped ease the stress of what was an emotional time, the selling of our home for 27 years. In a very professional but friendly manner you guided us through the process of selling our home. Your suggested dollar value and recommendations for presenting the house were very realistic. The marketing packages you prepared and arranged for were outstanding and we believe invaluable in the final sale of our home. It was comforting to know that you were just a phone call away to answer any concerns we had. We received everything that you promised - 'For Royal Treatment, Alyson Buckingham delivers.'"

"This note is to thank you for your fine work in selling my Dad and Mum's home subsequent to Dad's passing. This most difficult time was made much more bearable by your involvement in the process.
The detailed research and savvy advice you provided in helping us determine the listing price for the condominium townhouse was right on, as evidenced by the speed of the sale and the price we sold for.
You always made yourself available to us from listing to closing and your feedback was always prompt, professional and you never failed to remain sensitive to the emotional aspects of the circumstances we were facing...
Needless to say, we were thoroughly pleased with your performance and would not hesitate to reccomend you to others or to work with you again should the need arise."

"Hi Aly;
We can't thank you enough for all your help with our house hunt! As first-time home buyers, we didn't know a lot about the process of buying and we really needed a lot of help. Luckily we found you!
The large amount of background information you gave us on the area really helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for which saved us a lot of time when we went looking. We loved the fact that you had vision for each house we looked at - telling us how we could make it our own, which things were easy fixes and which could be problematic. We really felt that you had our best interests at heart and were acting not just as our realtor, but our friend.
The only downside was that we found our dream home so fast we couldn't spend more time having fun with you! But, easily recitified... we want you to be a regular visitor to our new home whenever you are in the neighbourhood!
Thanks again for making our leap into home ownership such a rewarding experience!"

"We would like to express our appreciation and thanks for your help in the sale of our home of 33 years. The advice you provided in helping us determine the listing price for our home was right on and realistic. Never having sold a house before, we really didn't know what to consider and you provided all those details in a very professional manner.
Your sound advice and attention to what needed to be done to prepare the house (especially decluttering and depersonalizing) was invaluable and helped show it better, resulting in offers within days of putting it on the market. We were able to exceed our listed price.
From your very first visit, we felt comfortable and at ease with you. We were always able to reach you and ask any questions we had. We felt confident with any information you provided. Thanks again and we would certainly recommend you to others and already have."

Your professionalism and years of experience were evident as we went through the sale process and were able to draw on your advice and recommendations with confidence. At the same time your diplomacy in dealing with the sensitivities of two families selling their parents home and moving into a retirement home provided the support we all needed."

Our thanks go out to you in oh so many ways. We sing your praise whenever the opportunity presents itself and that is often! Please feel free to use this letter as an endorsement, and be assured that the FitzPatricks will happily provide a reference to any of your future clients."
