Ann De Bono--RE/MAX Advantage Realty Ltd

We chose to work with Ann and Celia after being recommend through mutual friends. Ann and Celia provided helpful and insightful advice about purchasing a home in London. Ann and Celia were very fast in helping us to see properties and put in offers as soon as possible.We are very happy with how our home buying process went and are beyond excited to move into our new home. We are very thankful for Ann and Celia’s assistance and would happily recommend them to others in need of real estate services.

We've loved working with Ann multiple times. So far Ann has helped us through the process of buying a house three times and selling our homes twice. We had goals for our home and family that made it so we couldn't just jump to the end goal right away, and Ann understood this and helped us at each point (and sometimes in-between with false starts). Despite now having experience ourselves, we keep finding that there are new obstacles or circumstances as the market changes and the homes we have or want change. Nothing seems to be a problem for Ann as she works with us with patience and knowledge. We probably asked the same questions each time, but we never felt judged or unimportant. Ann had amazing insights and she stuck with us through all of it. We really have always felt like Ann is in our corner. I have no doubt that we got way more for that homes than we would have otherwise, had we not had Ann's professional help and design guidance. She's a strategist and stager - helping us make informed decisions and guiding us into our vision. Even when we're not active in the real estate market, she's still available to answers questions, give recommendations, provide insights, and contribute to the community in which we all live. Thanks Ann!

While looking for our first home, we chose Ann and Celia after a great recommendation from a family member. Ann and Celia took every step to ensure our search was as stress free as possible. They followed our criteria perfectly when sending us properties to view. They catered to our specific needs in terms of location, size and details. Ann provided expert advice on realistic potential on our first home. Their attention to details on each property and meeting every question with an immediate answer was a huge relief while going through this process during COVID-19. Celia was incredibly flexible with scheduling around our lives. I would strongly recommend any first time buyer to use Ann and Celia for their first home. We cannot thank them enough for their help. -Mat & Kylie

Buying our first home with Ann was easier than expected. My wife and I were getting married and buying a home all in the same year. Ann made the whole experience pleasant. She treated us like family and listen to our needs. She never pressure us on buying, she even remind us not to rush it. When we finally found the perfect home for us, she made the transaction painless. Driving back and forth from Toronto and London wasn't easy. She accommodated us from showing us homes, putting offers through and signing papers. But her expertise doesn't end when you signed those papers. She works with you for life. We for sure have recommended Ann to our friends before and we will continue to do so. My only suggestion that I can give home buyer is the first right decision your going to make is picking Ann as your agent. For us she's our agent for life.

I’ve known Ann for more than two decades, since long before she got into real estate. I watched as she built her reputation, dealing with people in business as she always had in the rest of her life – with honesty, empathy and integrity.

When I decided to sell my house and look for a condo, she was the obvious choice to help me. My house sold within three days of listing, largely because of the prep work Ann did.

Suddenly, I was a buyer in a seller’s market, worried I wouldn’t find something suitable in my price range. Ann guided me through the process, patiently helping sort through the avalanche of listings, assuring me things would work out.

In the midst of the cycle of selling, buying and moving, you need someone calm and experienced, with a sense of humour, to keep things on track. Ann is the best at doing that. I’m in no hurry to move, but when the time comes again, the first thing I’ll do is call Ann. She's a terrific realtor and person.
