Simply put, Lindsay is a professional.

From the onset, it was clear that I had made the right choice in contacting Lindsay.

Being new to the region and frankly knowing next to nothing regarding the area's market, it quickly became evident that her knowledge and work ethic would make the process of finding my new home a stress-free, enjoyable endeavour. Her seemingly endless familiarity of the Burlington/Oakville area was impressive and the sense that little time was to be wasted was distinct. On the rare occasion that Lindsay was unable to answer a question concerning a development, a builder or neighbourhood details, she was quick to do the necessary research and subsequently get me up to speed. Working with her, you are undoubtedly confident that she truly cares and wants to put you in the right home, that in itself goes a long way.

I look forward to working with Lindsay again and would intently refer her to anyone who seeks a professional, courteous and highly knowledgeable realtor.

I feel that we really lucked out with finding Lindsay Walls to help us find our home. I came across her website while just searching for information on Oakville, and was so impressed with how much useful information she had compiled into a user-friendly format and openly shared with potential clients. We had a couple of calls where again I was really impressed with the depth and breadth of her knowledge about Burlington and Oakville, and her ability to answer very specific questions. She just knew so much about everything from schools to services to long-term planning initiatives. In e-mail correspondence, she was thoughtful and always took the time to research answers and provide helpful links to illustrate her points. She has gone out of her way many times to ensure that we had a very smooth experience, driving long distances to get signatures and setting up much-needed services for us at our new home. She is just an all-around professional and amazingly nice person; I definitely feel like I had as much personalized attention as I could possibly want, especially as a first time home buyer. I can recommend her without reservation!

I was lucky enough to use Lindsay’s skills twice with great success!

The first time I was under great pressure as I was getting married in 3 months and needed to sell my condo fast. Lindsay is a true professional. The first listing presentation with her was extremely informative and the analysis she put through made me confident that she was working hard to get me my money’s worth. The suggestions she made and the extra care she took when showing the condo really spoke volumes to make my simple condo look amazing-I almost wanted to buy it all over again! I sold it quickly because of her and was able to move on to another important step in my life: getting married!

Later on when my husband and I were ready to purchase a house we excitedly called on Lindsay again. Even though Lindsay specializes in Oakville, she was more than up for the challenge in helping us find a place in Bloor-West village. She worked really hard at researching the areas we were interested in and gave us so much useful information to base our decision on. She was amazing at picking houses that we would be interested in and really helped us make the decision with confidence. Even after the house was purchased she followed up with yet more research to show we made the right decision with the price we paid for our house.

Lindsay really is a sweet and warm person who really enjoys helping others make the biggest purchase of their life. She is not only creative with her ideas and suggestions but she is also brilliant and spends time doing her research for you. We hope to use her always and recommend her highly to get the most bang for your buck.

My family and I were moving back to the area after spending two great years in Virginia Beach. I'm an agent's worst

nightmare...a renter! OK, maybe not nightmare, but not the best ROI.

In the past, as home buyer and seller, I grew to really dislike real estate agents. They worked very hard to get me signed up, but afterward the enthusiasm was gone.

Now as a potential renter, I found that half of the listing agents wouldn't even call me back.

Lindsay's web site came up in a Google add in my gmail. On the web page she indicated that if you fill in your requirements, she will help you find your ideal house. Months had gone by and I was getting frustrated, so decide to fill out the form. We had specific requirements for house size, rental cost and the school district was very important. Since I checked the "rent" box, I wasn't expecting a call back. She got back to me the same day, and we set up a call the following day.

She spent over 30 minutes with me giving background information on neighborhoods and schools. I was really surprised how much effort she was putting in and I hadn't even signed with her yet. Her sister is a teacher in Oakville, so she was able to give me first had information on schools. This was very important to me and my wife. We set a date to meet and discuss working together. She came to the meeting so well prepared. She came with printouts of various houses that were listed and all the background on the school in each neighborhood.

She got to work right away setting up visits, driving all over Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Mississauga. I really couldn't believe how hard she was working for me.

Anyway, within a few short weeks we found the house we wanted. She navigated me through all the paperwork, and made the process as easy as possible.

Working with Lindsay was a fantastic experience, she renewed my faith in real estate agents.

Thank you Lindsay!

We came across Lindsay's business organically. I mean that she wasn't referred to us by a friend and we didn't hear about her business via the grape vine. We live up north and upon planning our move to Oakville, our first step was to go online and find a realtor. When we came across Lindsay's site, we were blown away at how much information she displays as well as the calibre of her knowledge (very well thought out). So, we contacted her with a few questions... Her response was immediate and amazingly thorough. Her attention to detail was so impressive and left us with no doubt that we trust her judgement and expertise. Lindsay showed us around the city and the various neighbourhoods and made us feel as though we were her most important clients. She has been an integral part of our decision making because of her experience and abundance of information. Once we'd found our new home and the deal was done, Lindsay continued to support us and furnish us with as much knowledge as she could. I have no doubt that we'll do business again with Lindsay in the future. I also feel that we have found a friend in her :) We will recommend her to everyone we know!

As a first-time homebuyer, I had more questions than answers when it came to the home buying process. After meeting with Lindsay for the first time, I knew I had found the perfect realtor to help walk me through this exciting process and answer all my questions. Lindsay came prepared to our first meeting with information on current market trends, questions about the qualities I wanted in my home, and a warm friendly personality which immediately put me at ease. She answered every little question I had and never talked over my head. She always used terms that I could understand and made sure I understood everything before we moved forward. I genuinely appreciated her taking this extra time to make sure I was comfortable with everything, each and every step of the way.

Because of Lindsay’s impressive knowledge, dedication, warm personality, and professionalism, I was able to find the home that best suits my needs and wants. I am very grateful to have met Lindsay and to have had her help through this exciting new chapter in my life. If you want a realtor who will make you feel comfortable throughout the entire home buying process, be diligent in helping you find the right home, is a master negotiator, and has a genuine interest in her client’s happiness, Lindsay is your realtor!

Thanks for everything Lindsay! You are awesome!

I can't believe the house hunt is already over, it all went so fast! We're going to miss you, so you must pop by with Chris for dinner when we get all moved in. Thanks for not giving up on my 2 car garage dream, we definitely found the most amazing place in such a beautiful area and couldn't be more thrilled about it! We'll definitely be recommending you to all our friends as their time is coming to get married and buy a house. So thanks to you again Lindsay we pray your business will be blessed beyond measure!

My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Lindsay Walls to find our first home throughout the last 4 months. Through our experience with her we have found Lindsay to be a very professional and diligent agent who pays close attention to detail. What we feel makes her such a fantastic agent is that she really strives to understand what you're looking for in a home and then begins her work based on your wants and needs. Her research helps to give buyers a clear view of the market and makes it a lot easier for you to compare your potential houses to each other. We have found the perfect house for us that has more than we could want (and for an amazing price), so Lindsay delivered as promised. I would say that the only bad thing about working with Lindsay is that we're going to miss spending time with her since our hunt is over now. It was a fun and exciting experience, so we will always recommend with confidence Lindsay to all our friends in search of their next home. Job well done Lindsay!

Erik

Lindsay, we wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with the work you did for us. You were very professional and responsive. We also appreciated the thorough analysis you provided to help us confirm the market value of our new home and several others we considered. Your tips plus the service of your stager & photographer were also great help in selling our two homes quickly and for good prices in the down market.

Thank you. We certainly won't hesitate to recommend you to family, friends & neighbours.

Gary & Diane

We're finalizing our mortgage with Claire this week, we met up with her on Thursday and she got us exactly what we wanted. Thank you for recommending her and we would definitely put forth her name as well as yours to anyone and everyone we know! We have been very blessed to meet people like you that have been so wonderful and interested in helping us found exactly what we need. Thank you!

Cassandra (and Ryan)

My husband and I met Lindsay Walls at an open house one Saturday morning. We had anticipated signing with an agent to help us find our first home, but we were waiting for the right person. Lindsay was someone who listened to our long wish list of what we would like in a home. She used a no-pressure approach by sending us links for houses to look at before deciding if we would like to visit them. She also used her marketing background by making timelines and schedules so that Erik and I knew what paperwork and decisions had to be made by what time. Her organized yet relaxed personality helped to make the home-buying experience stress-free. Lindsay helped us to find our dream home and we could not be more pleased with our decision to hire her as our agent.

Thanks Lindsay!! We are so excited to move in!! Have a great day and we'll talk to you soon.

Ruth

I forgot to mention (and I told myself I would tell you this, if ever we met), but you did a great job of marketing my son’s home. It looked really good and you brought out the very best in it, the verbal descriptions and the photos. It was a real package. Well done.
