“Helene was our real estate agent in buying a building lot. We had a lot of questions regarding the property, the neighborhood, and its covenants and Helene was prompt and knowledgeable in responding to all our concerns. We had complete faith in her as we negotiated with the seller, and the transaction went through smoothly. We cannot praise her professionalism, promptness, and efficiency highly enough!”

"....absolutely wonderful to work with. The process was really accelerated and even with our very quick turnaround times at some points, ..very responsive and available, and accommodated our needs so well. From the thorough, expert advice on the offer process, all the way through the exceptional support at every step, every visit and every email conversation, we can't say enough good things about our experience working with Helene. I'd recommend Helene to anyone looking to buy -She took such a huge weight off of our shoulders, and made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable!"

Kyle & Desirae, Buyer & Seller clients

"We decided at the beginning of April to sell our property in Ashton, Ontario (35 year old, 1400+ sq ft house on 67 acres of land). We were looking for real estate professionals who know and live in the area and have extensive experience marketing and selling rural properties. Within a few days of searching we found and engaged Helene  â€“ a great fit for our needs. Since we live in Florida full time we needed an agent capable and willing to do what it takes to get the property ready for sale without us being present, with the objective of achieving a quick close.

With great energy and enthusiasm Helene worked through the property valuation and appraisal analysis and listed it within a week of our first contact.  Within another week we had four offers on the property, and through excellent negotiation skills Helene was able to get a very good offer with no purchase conditions and a very short closing. The deal was closed just seven days later!

The property had been rented out for many years and Helene  undertook a number of tasks on our behalf to prepare it for the sale, engaging and working with various vendors/contractors on repairs and appearance issues.

In summary, this was a great sales experience for us and we enjoyed working with Helene  to complete the task in what we think was a near record time."      

Mike and Dorothy L , Seller clients

"Working with Helene has been a sincere pleasure from start to finish.  She explained things so that we could understand them and helped us to get the best price for our home.  Most importantly, you know that you can trust what she says and that she has your best interests in mind.  We could not give her a higher recommendation.  Thank you again Helene!"     

Kelly and Ted McD, Buyer & Seller clients

"Helene recently helped us sell our home and purchase a new home. Helene was honest, patient and efficient in helping us find the right home for our family.  She also shared her advice and wealth of knowledge of the industry to help us make the right decision.  Once we had purchased our new home she was able to give us references for lawyers, movers, painters, flooring companies, etc. on the spot.  When it came time to sell our home she moved quickly, kept us informed throughout the process and always had our best interests in mind - we even ended up selling our house for 10% more than the list price within 5 days! She was always easy to reach and available to answer our questions.  We would definitely recommend Helene to our family and friends."      

Danny & Jo C, Buyer & Seller clients

"Over the years we have come to know Helene as a Friend as well as our Real Estate Agent. We have learned that when Helene is on the job for you, there are no worries, she takes care of everything. We made the mistake once of not using Helene and we regret that mistake. We would highly recommend Helene for any of your real estate needs."

Frank & Denise K, Buyer & Seller clients

"Helene, Thank-you for travelling through our many house hunting expeditions so tirelessly. You always said the perfect century farmhouse was out there and although it took us a while to find it, our new home is everything we ever could have asked for. We feel so very fortunate to have found this property and appreciate your every effort in making our dream a reality."

Mary & Dave W, Buter & Seller clients

"I have had the pleasure of working with Helene twice, first to sell my house and then to purchase. When selling my house Helene went through the house making recommendations to be more viewer friendly rather than "my home". Once the house was ready she sent a professional photographer who was excellent.When it came time for the open house days Helene displayed or handed out great packages to remember our home and herself. Helene was instumental in getting very close to our asking price. While in the midst of selling I was also looking, Helene kept me focused on the important issues of what I needed in my next home.

Her patience was greatly appreciated. Once I found the home I wanted to make an offer on Helene of course was instrumental not only going back and forth with the bidding and mental strategy but also with her excellent connections for things such as house inspection, repairs, lawyers and mortgage.

I am extremely happy with my home and look forward to working with Helene in the future and recommending her to friends and family."        

Janice H, Buyer & Seller client

"Helene Hutchings is a woman of integrity and boundless energy. As first time homebuyers, Helene walked us through the whole process: what to look for; what to avoid; and above all, she was honest in her assessments. She provided excellent recommendations for several reputable home inspectors and mortgage brokers, and was quick to provide contacts beyond the realm of buying and selling, from piano tuners to crown moulding specialists. Helene is knowledgeable, prompt in her communications, and will never leave you hanging."      

Jennifer K & Jeremy M, Buyer client

"I have dealt with Helene during the purchase of 2 properties, and the sale of 1, over the last 10 years. I have found her to be most professional and helpful in both the purchase and sale activities. In finding the right properties for my purchases, she traveled to 4 communities with me, and investigated numerous listings. I found her services in preparing my property for sale, in particular the photo service and staging consultation, to be very helpful. I am sure these services were instrumental in obtaining a speedy sale. During both the purchase and sale processes, she coordinated with other agents and lawyers to make sure the transactions went smoothly. I highly recommend Helene in both buying and selling your property."
