Fantastic Experience with Karen and Jeff! My husband and I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Karen and Jeff for both the sale of our condo AND the purchase of our dream home! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Right from the start, their friendliness, dedication, and expertise shone through everything they did. They were professional and very organized but most importantly caring and down-to-earth. They really took the time to get to know us and understand our needs and preferences, offering valuable insights and guidance every step of the way. During the 7 days in the market, they were always responsive, ready to answer any questions that we had and provided tons of insight into the entire process. They sent us valuable daily email updates that always kept us in the loop. Their marketing efforts were top-notch throughout the whole process, and it truly showed how much effort they put into their ads, videos, and door-to-door flyers. They managed to reach out to the right clientele for our condo, emphasizing all the wonderful features (and there are many!) of the property. Their knowledge of the local market was impressive, and they found potential buyers who were a perfect match for our criteria. They created tons of interest leading to tons of traffic throughout the 7 days, including the Open Houses. The Offer Day process went very smooth, and they helped us understand and feel comfortable making the best decision possible. Their tag-team approach, attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were truly remarkable. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and stress-free – which was very much appreciated! We wholeheartedly recommend Karen and Jeff (Girard Smith Team) to anyone looking to buy or sell their property. Their exceptional service and dedication make me believe they are the best in the business. Thank you, Karen and Jeff, for making the sale of our condo and the purchase of our dream home such a delightful and 1st class experience! Your hard work and dedication truly made all the difference!

Karen and Jeff helped us buy our first home! They were incredible to work with. They are extremely knowledgable and thorough. Communication was always clear and fast! On top of all this, they are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. We would absolutely recommend their services to anyone!

When you find someone who you can work with easily, who you trust and who you know has your best interests in mind, there is no need to look any further. The Girard Smith Team, Karen and Jeff, are simply the best! I do not say this lightly, but confidently, and let me share a few reasons to back it up. Part 1 - Karen - Selling experience I first met Karen about five years ago when she listed and sold my mother-in-law’s home. She was professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about the market. Her marketing of the house was exceptional. I then reached out to her about three years ago, when I was relocating to another province. She met with me as many times as I needed, provided suggestions of what I could do prior to listing my condo to attract more buyers. Her marketing of the condo was brilliant - it was listed on several media sites, both before hitting the market and after, and the printed materials were perfect. She was in constant communication with me, updating on activity and feedback that she received. The photography and videos of the condo were professional and every little detail was attended to, including information about what the area could offer, by way of parks, wooded areas, biking trails, shopping, etc. Part 2: Jeff - Buying experience This brings us to now and our experience working with Karen and Jeff - but mostly Jeff - on the recent purchase of our new home. From the moment we contacted them (about eight months ago) to ask for their assistance with our move, they have been there for us. The Girard Smith Team made certain that they knew what we were looking for in a home (our ‘need to have list’), and as well, made sure that we were aware of the housing market before we even arrived in Winnipeg, so that we would be ready to actively look. Once our home sale was completed and we made the move, Jeff took the lead role as our realtor and has been nothing short of amazing. We immediately felt comfortable and confident in his ability to navigate us through this process. He clearly knew what we were looking for and provided us with several houses to consider. He always encouraged us to not settle and if we were going to write an offer, that we had to be 100% sure about the home and location. In time, he gently introduced the idea of looking outside of our preferred areas and took us to just outside of Winnipeg and this is where we ultimately purchased our home. One of Jeff’s strengths is his evaluation of houses and spotting potential issues related to the structural integrity or other concerns of a home. As well he provides insight into the location and all that it may have to offer. In general he is a great source of information on all things real estate related, which gave us confidence with our decision. There was never a question that we had, that was not responded to promptly and professionally. Jeff, along with his wife Karen are such positive, encouraging, honest, supportive and knowledgeable individuals. They genuinely want the best outcome for their clients and do everything within their power to get it for them. We definitely felt like a part of the “TEAM”. We are so grateful for this purchasing experience with them. Pad & Gerrie
