We’re Loving our Backyard Oasis in South East Oakville!
October 28th, 2007 Categories: Client Stories and Testimonials, Oakville Real Estate News, South East Oakville
Mr. and Mrs. B were wanting to move their family to South East Oakville from Mississauga. I met Mrs. B at the Oakville Kiosk.
The afternoon before they were to leave for Florida for March Break, we completed negotiation on a “dream home”. We had to do the home inspection that afternoon, before the ink was dry on the contract!
This beautiful Morrison home was a perfect fit for this young family. On a private court, close to the schools they wanted, the house had a newly renovated kitchen, a fully finished basement, main floor den, and a spectacular garden which had been lovingly designed and cared for by the former owner, who is a landscape designer.
The pool was a bonus!
It was fun to go by to visit this summer to see the family settled into their new home, kids and grandma enjoying the pool, and knowing they were all thrilled with their choice.
Here’s their letter:
Dear Hilary,
Thanks you so much for helping us buy our dream home in South East Oakville.
Both my husband and I really appreciated your very professional manner, extremely quick response time and phenomenal research and communication skills.
We are especially grateful for your negotiating abilities and have already recommended you to two of our friends.
P.S. Yes, we’ve locked in our mortgage rate. Thanks for the heads up!
My pleasure! Welcome to the neighbourhood. I wish you many years of happy family experiences in South East Oakville.
