Testimonials

As a first time home buyer, I can proudly say that you made this experience a memorable and seamless journey for me and my family.  You really took the time to assess all of my needs (even my family members) to ensure that you would find ur our perfect home.  Your patience was grealy appreciated since you always accommodated us (meeting us at 8pm at night and on holidays for house visits, wow that's dedication).  I think most importantly, your honesty and willingness to support us really made the difference.  It's not everyday that we see such great customer service offered to consumers.  As well, you went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations.  Thank you very much for your eagerness and determination to find us a new place called...HOME.. I will definitely let everybody know about this great person called Catherine Bell!

I was truly fortunate to have had Kate guiding me through the process
of buying my new home. She was completely professional, totally
available, and really knew her stuff. Without her valuable advice
throughout the purchase negotiations I would not be living in my dream
home today. She made the entire home-buying process into an enjoyable
adventure - and then followed it up with more great service by providing
me with a van for a day and a huge stack of boxes and moving supplies!
Thanks, Kate.

Eight years ago Pauline Bogue and Catherine Bell of Royal LePage Team Realty expedited the purchase of our home in Ottawa, and once again to sell. Their professional advice, assistance, and experience resulted in very quick results and smooth, stress-free moves on both occasions. I heartily recommend Pauline and Catherine to effectively and efficiently handle your real estate transactions.

Looks like a deal to me! Thank you so much for all your efforts. All kidding aside, I am amazed at the activity you generated, and to get a sale within a week is absolutely amazing. Now I start packing.

The entire experience from decision-to-sell through the final closing was made very easy by your thoroughness and professionalism in all areas of the transaction. Your market analysis helped me set an appropriate price for the unit, and the fact that it sold so rapidly is the best indication of that. That extends, of course to the advice you provided in readying the unit for viewing.

Overall, I have no hesitation recommending the Ottawa Home Team to all prospective clients whether they be sellers or buyers. 

After 22 years of living in the same house, I decided it was time to move.  Pauline went through my house and told me what needed to be fixed, painted, updated and de-cluttered.  She also provided me with the name of a reliable person to complete the jobs required.  It proved to be valuable advice.  I had many showings as soon as my house hit the market, with an offer within the first 2 weeks.  I was given feedback after each showing from either Pauline or Catherine.  After much negotiating, both Pauline and Catherine went above and beyond to make the sale of my home satisfactory to both myself and the buyer, with their priority being me, their client.  My house sold in 28 days and that included time off for the Christmas holidays.  I was always able to contact either of them or Kate with any concerns or questions.  Pauline, Catherine, and Kate made this transition as smooth as possible.

My Royal LePage sales team of Catherine Bell and Pauline Bogue did an excellent job from start to finish. Their recommendations for pre sale improvements were reasonable and resulted in a quick sale very close to our asking price. The sales team recommended against accepting an initial low offer as they felt they had listed the house at a fair price. Their advice proved to be right when two higher offers followed within a week. Once we had a signed offer, Catherine and Pauline worked quickly with me to have all inspection report concerns addressed in a timely fashion. Despite the fact that I, the seller, live in another city, I received frequent updates by phone and email throughout the entire sales process and was never left wondering how things were going. All my calls were returned promptly. I would strongly recommend this team to sell your house.

Over the past few years, both Pauline and Catherine provided me with exceptional service during my first home-buying experience. Pauline was dedicate and very patient during my long search for a suitable and affordable condo in the Westboro area. She provided frank, well informed and timely advice, and was always receptive to my needs and interests. Catherine helped me through a multiple offer situation and provided strong advice on how to address this situation. She was a key part of my successful bid on the condo I now live in.
Both Pauline and Catherine have become true mentors to me with respect to home buying and demonstrated true commitment, even after I purchased my first home. I would gladly recommend them to any prospective buyers.

We were very pleased with the service. Catherine and Pauline were great in spending the time to get to know us as people and not simply as "home buyers". We were on a tight schedule and thanks to their efforts in continually checking the "just on the market" list we found new options to choose from at just the right time. Their research into the market helped us make a fair offer and within 24 hours one of those houses became our home. We highly recommend The Ottawa Home Team.

It is very difficult to adequately express gratitude to Catherine and Pauline – perhaps some clients would be shocked at the suggestion that the sale of one’s happy home could occur so easily and stress free. However, that was my experience – pre listing advice and support was timely, my wishes and concerns were always promptly considered in a professional manner and the house showings were well organized and spaced. Catherine was always on hand regardless of the level of importance or the hour of day, and, when she was not available, Pauline stepped right in seamlessly –impressive team work indeed !
Fortunately an offer to purchase was presented within a few days of listing. Once again, this was a collaborative effort and the advice I received was most appropriate. It is a pleasure to highly recommend their services to anyone who approaches.
In addition to the above I would like to comment on the purchase of my new home through Catherine and Pauline as being a time of appreciating their years of experience, their patience and understanding of my needs, and willingness to guide me through the searching process for many months.

We unequivocally recommend Catherine and Pauline to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. We have already recommended “The Ottawa Home Team” to several of our friends. Their friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and highly professional approach combined with the focus on what we wanted and the patience and willingness to discuss details and provide advice has helped us with the largest purchases we will probably ever make.
Thank you so much, Catherine and Pauline. We love our new home.

Pauline Bogue and Catherine Bell provided us with friendly, courteous, professional, efficient and pertinent guidance and assistance in the sale of our New Edinburgh house. Catherine even went out of her way to provide us with urgent documents by travelling on a weekend to our cottage outside Ottawa. Pauline and Catherine complemented each other very well and helped establish a good climate of confidence by providing valuable and realistic judgements on the NE market. The sale of our house, subtly negotiated by Pauline, was rapid following the purchase of our condo which Pauline also helped us to find and buy. Others have testified to the effectiveness of this team and we share that view. We would not hesitate to use their services again if required.

We would highly recommend Catherine as a real estate agent to friends and family. She was always available to us and willing to accompany us to multiple showings at our convenience. We felt confident with her extensive knowledge of Ottawa's neighbourhoods, which was essential to us as we were new to the city. She helped guide us through all the steps of buying our home and was able to answer all of our many questions. We feel fortunate to have had her as our agent.
