“I have purchased and sold several properties in the past and have never come across agents like Ken and Jaime. I would highly recommend working with them. 

I had the pleasure of working with the Ramsay Real Estate Group at the end of 2013. I had my property listed for over 4 months on PropertyGuys.com and was receiving little interest. After reducing the price several times, still nothing… except a cold call from Ken. He quickly demonstrated their team’s knowledge of the local market (including my specific condo) and after several discussions I decided to hire Ken and Jaime to represent the sale of my unit.

The entire process was fantastic. Here’s a summary;

1. Marketing: drastic improvement to all marketing collateral, including photos. Great exposure on all traditional sites/locations PLUS a lot of social media exposure (they understand online marketing).
   
2. Sales: They are fantastic (and very honest and fair) negotiators. They clearly explained their rationale for each decision we would make throughout the process – and were open to listening to my rationale. Their negotiating skills are better than others I’ve worked with that have over 10x the industry experience.

3.  Customer Service: They were always available. They’re prompt to return phone calls, emails and/or text messages… but almost always available by phone on the first try.

Results:

• We sold for thousands over what I had previously been listed for
• We had multiple, competing offers
• All within 2 weeks of listing (note: the unit had been listed for over 4 months prior!)

On top of my smooth dealings, I was out of the country for the entire process!

They go well above and beyond what anyone could ask of their agent (for example, they cleared out an overlooked storage locker on my behalf). Always positive and always pushing the ball in direction it needed to move to get the deal done… and get it done while making all parties happy and feeling like they got a good deal. I would be happy to speak to anyone considering working with Ken and Jaime.”

“I have a number of friends who are well respected and highly ranked agents in Toronto. When it came to selling our current home and the purchase of our new home, we made the decision to work with the Ramsay Real Estate Group after meeting Ken by chance. I can say without doubt, it was the best decision we have ever made! Ken and Jaime are quite literally miracle workers! 

They transformed our home into a masterpiece, and their open house had all the neighborhood buzzing. Their quality approach to everything they do sets them apart from the competition. Their professional photographers put others on the MLS to shame, the brochures for listings are high quality, the catered open houses add a touch of class, and the 24/7 availability makes you as a seller feel completely at ease. In the week leading up to our listing, Ken and Jaime assisted with everything- from tackling tricky home maintenance projects that we had been unable to do ourselves, helping us pack for staging, arranging a fabulously priced painter, electrician, and so much more. 

Our home sold in record time, and I 100% attribute it to Ken and Jaime Ramsay! On the purchase front, they were equally as impressive. They knew us better than we knew ourselves. They asked all of the right questions, got to know us to know which area of the city would suit us best. They suggested an area of the city we were less familiar with, and said they could see us there. They were absolutely right! We have never been happier. They were with us through the entire process, and negotiated furiously on our behalf. Even post-close, they were there! They were with us when we picked up our keys, as we got settled, and regularly checked in thereafter. 

I’ve never heard of an experience this positive from any of my friends or family members… I think you would be doing yourself a service by choosing Ken and Jaime Ramsay! They are simply THE BEST!”

“I was referred to the Ramsay Real Estate Group by one of their real estate clients for my rental property in Markham. I was at first hesitant to work with an agent, but Ken and Jaime immediately gained my trust through their professionalism and knowledge about the business.

Ken and Jaime advised me of all the additional questions I should be asking of the tenant and liaised with the tenant’s agent for me. They also did a great job marketing the rental listing! They made the process as painless as possible by being quick to respond either by phone or email and followed up with me immediately if anything was urgent.

I’d highly recommend the Ramsay Real Estate Group to anyone who needs an agent as I would use their services again when it comes time to buy a new home or sell my current one.”

“The Ramsay Real Estate Group is fantastic! I’ve recently completed the sale of a property in Etobicoke with Ken and Jaime. As a senior financial executive who owns and manages a large financial practice, I couldn’t have done it without them.

I have extensive experience in the buying and selling of property in the core of Toronto. When I found the Ramsay Real Estate Group for a property in Etobicoke where I was Power of Attorney for my relative, I was very pleased – but little did I know how great my decision to work with Ken and Jaime would end up.

They’re extremely professional, very well organized, and managed the entire process from listing to sale seamlessly. The house was in need of significant help in clearing the contents, industrial cleaning and then upgrading to get it into sale shape. They recommended the contractors and then managed the process smoothly for me. They’re proactive in their approach – they identified and anticipated issues about the property which led to a great sale.

We listed and sold the property in less than two weeks, thousands over list price, using a blend of both traditional and social media marketing.

I highly recommend Ken and Jaime Ramsay for real estate transactions.

They’ll get the assignment done without stress!”

“My wife and I sought out to buy a house recently and through Zoocasa found The Ramsay Real Estate Group. Perhaps by stroke of luck, or by coincidence, or because of Zoocasa’s network, we were paired with Ken and Jaime Ramsay.

From the moment we met Ken and Jaime we were surprised by the approach they took to helping you buy a house. They do three things very well and very differently.

1. They truly listen to you and seek to help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
2. They take a cynical approach to the evaluation of a house and quickly expose the areas where the house needs work or may not fit your needs.
3. They start working in your corner from day 1 and become your personal assistant through every step of the purchasing process.

Through working with Ken and Jaime, we have become close friends as most friendships are based on trust and genuine care for you.

It was difficult writing this recommendation because it was hard to summarize what they do so exceedingly well, but here is our best shot:

Attention to Detail: Whether it be paperwork, the age of the air conditioner, the smell of the basement or the underside of a counter, they have an unbelievable attention to detail. In fact, some would call it “anal” but when it comes to finding, evaluating and closing the house of your dreams, I would want no other type of personality managing the process on my behalf.

Integrity and Trust: During the closing of our house, we were “duped” by the other realtor and forced into a potential litigation issue with the owners. For two nights, Ken and Jaime were up late at night with us, answering every phone call at midnight, and providing a blanket of trust as we struggled through the idea of our dream home fading away. We ended up coming out on top of the legal issue, because of one thing. Ken and Jaime’s ironclad integrity. Through the process, it became clear to the owners that the problem was with their realtor and we closed the deal amicably.

Resourcefulness: Ken and Jaime know everyone. Painters, lawyers, plumbers, inspectors, brick layers, and electricians. How nice would it be to look at a kitchen and say “wow, this would be perfect if the counters were granite” and have your agent say “I know a great granite supplier. It will cost you between $2,000 – $2,500 to source and install. Factor that into your upfront costs.”

The granite in our kitchen is beautiful. Installed for $2,200.

Never-Ending Relationship: Ken and Jaime are now our friends. They’ve helped create the house I will live in for the next 20 years of my life. If you read this Ken and Jaime, I can’t thank you enough for helping my wife and I create our future.”

“I used Ken and Jaime’s services to sell my condo back in Jan of 2014. Listings of similar units in my Condo building had been active for 60 days and in some cases 90 days with price points moving lower and lower.

Very nervous to list, I sought Ken and Jaime’s help and expertise. Ken and Jaime were very honest about the fact that other listings in the building could cause issues for me, but they formulated a very descriptive/strategic plan of action that was in my opinion, simply outstanding.

After listing, it was nothing but showing after showing for the next several days. On day 5, we got an offer at our asking price. A price that was still higher than other listings in my condo building.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. Ken and Jaime’s honesty, hard work and strategic approach to the sale of my home made the whole process simple yet effective. I would highly recommend the Ramsay Real Estate Group.”
