"Aly, I just wanted to thank you again and congratulate you on a job well done. Your service and professionalism far exceeded our expectations. From getting the house on the market as quick as you did to all the small touches, rapid Feature Sheets, Virtual Tour and processing this listing quickly just before the holidays. We are delighted with the quick sale and thank you sincerely. No wonder you get so many listings! It was a pleasure doing business with you."

"We can't recommend you highly enough. Thank you for your professionalism and wonderful attitude as you helped us with two big sales! First you did your magic with our home and then with my mother's condo. You have a winning process from the appraisal to arranging the staging, then listing for the best possible offer, which we got! When we met you 20 years ago, when you represented the seller of the home we bought, we were impressed with your knowledge and professionalism. We are so glad you represented us this time. You truly went above and beyond. Your future clients will have the best possible service available and the essential help from you to get their homes sold for the highest market value. We wish you continued success!"

"This letter is to express Janet's and my appreciation for the outstanding professional service you provided us in the recent sale of our home. Prior to the listing you recommended what we should do to enhance the value of our home. We followed your recommendations and were extremely pleased that the house sold within a week of listing with all offers above the asked amount.
Your professionalism and experience certainly proved its worth. Without question Janet and I certainly made the right decision in selecting you as our listing representative. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is buying or selling a home."

"We are still somewhat stunned by the real estate community's interest in our home during its very brief time on the market. Who could have believed that 90 brokers and sales representatives would take the time to view our home, all in the span of one week? You and every member of your team are to be praised for the fabulous marketing and organizational skills displayed in the days leading up to the showings and then throughout the short time on the market. A big THANK YOU to everyone involved.
Aly, words cannot express how much we appreciate the consistently professional approach that you used in helping us sell our family home of 23 years. Your experience came shining through, initially from guiding us through the valuation process, working with us just to find the right words and photos for the marketing material, keeping us anchored during the period of innumerable showings, right through the analysis of 11 offers and finally to the acceptance of an offer which set the record for the highest price ever paid for a home on Goldberry Square, 20% over our asking price. Kiwis rock!
Well done Aly! You have just added two more very satisified clients to your impressive roster."

"There is no better feeling than that experienced by achieving a goal beyond expectations. This achievement, of course, has much to do with the assistance that one recieves from expert and professional sources such as the combined effectiveness of you Aly, and your partner Ernie. Your professional encouragement, empathy and support are things I will never forget. You certainly do understand people and you have sympathy for their unique predicaments. You are the best! Many thanks and expressions of graditude."

"There was no question about who we would call when we moved back to the area. This time we worked with both Aly and her business partner Ernie. These two make a great pair. We saw a lot of houses before finding ours. Always available and accomodating of our busy schedules, Aly and Ernie showed great patience, professionalism and knowledge."

"We just wanted to send a quick note to you to epress our thanks to you in the handling of the sale of our mother's house, we were both extremely pleased with the services that you provided. From the quality of the brochures and the abundance of advertising to the professionalism you displayed when dealing with potential clients, your services exceeded all our expectations. We were very impressed with how quickly the house sold, and for receiving 97% of the asking price as well. We will certainly recommend you to any of our friends and colleagues who are interested in selling or purchasing a home. Thanks again for a job well done!"

"Dear Alyson,
Today I am pleased to say that the house sale is complete. This marks 12 years that we have known each other. You have been my real estate agent for one purchase and two sales. After interviewing 7 real estate agents in 1998, I felt very comfortable in hiring you. We have become friends and have remained so, even though we do not see each other that often.
Once again you have helped me so much with my house sale. After many setbacks, I was finally ready to sell. You have always been very patient, quick to call or email me immediately with any questions or concerns I might have.
You have been in the business for 28 years. You are thorough, know all the marketing advantages in highlighting a home, comparison selling with homes similar to mine and within the same area, familiarity with the neighbourhood, plus the expertise in negotiating a sale. Many real estate agents from other companies are familiar with you and respect you!
Thank you isn't enough to say for the help and support you have shown. I am truly grateful and recommend you highly."

"Last summer, when you sold the house next door in 3 days for over asking, we thought that was just luck. However, having just sold our home in 4 days for over asking, we know that luck has very little to do with it.
From the first time we sat down with both of you to discuss the listing, we were impressed with your professionalism and knowledge if the real estate market. At the time, your relaxed and friendly manner put us at ease. Once the decision was made to list the house, everything came together very quickly and efficiently.
From the various methods of online marketing to the feature sheet and mailer, we could not have been more impressed with the quality and the way in which our home was showcased. Your prompt and patient response to our many questions and concerns was greatly appreciated.
We thank you for all your hard work. It goes without saying that we would recommend you without hesitation."

"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.”

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!

Thanks again Aly-- you're the best!
