Re/Max Parry Sound Muskoka Realty Ltd.Brokerage - Bonnie Looby & John Fincham

After 31 years in our off-grid lakefront cottage, my wife and I decided it was time to sell. We decided to contact Bonnie Looby, not only because she was close but because the locals recommended her. Bonnie recognized that this was an emotional decision for us and gave us space as well as support in whatever we decided. She (and Niblitz) put together a package to show our cottage to its best advantage, kept us up-to-date on the process, and arranged viewings that were dependent on our approval. In the end, our cottage sold for $100,000 over asking. We unreservedly recommend Bonnie for your real estate needs.

John Fincham is an exemplary real estate professional and I enjoy the business relationship I have with The Finchams

The Finchams did a fantastic job, both selling our home and helping us find our new dream home on the water. Their professionalism and persistence got the job done and their friendly, approachable attitude made them a pleasure to work with! Highly recommended!

Great postings for local RE for sale!

What an amazing job the Fincham's did at selling our house in just 2 weeks.If caring, kind, honest and hard working people is what you like, than I strongly recommend them. Wonderful people.Thank you so much for all of your help.Amy and Greg Boyes

We’re first time home buyers. We had done a lot of research, and looked at a bunch of places, but hadn’t signed with an agent. We started working with John and quickly realized what we had been missing. He was a huge resource to us, walking us through the local market, things to watch for, warning signs and the offer/buying process well before we found the right place. He steered us away from what we later saw would have been a huge mistake. John was quick to catch on to the things that were important to us, even helping us work through must-haves by showing us lots of examples to help us figure things out. In the end he found us a great place that had all the things we were looking for. We knew he was busy because he has a lot of listings and clients, but somehow we never felt it – he was always on it, always reachable, always willing to make it work. His fast action and good advice prevented us from getting into a bidding war. We found out later there was a bidding war for the backup offer, and backup backup offer! It was amazing! But the biggest thing was his attitude. He is very down to earth, experienced, and his approach made it very clear he was focused on finding us a great place, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the process. There was none of the pressure we felt from other agents, and it genuinely felt like he was just happy to be showing us places and working through the process with us. And he also had great contacts that he shared with us. We were amazed at how smoothly and how quickly everything came together. We had prepared ourselves for stress and scrambling, but it was just exciting. Thank you John!

The Finchams did an amazing job both selling our cottage and finding us our new one. They're non-pressure sales and attention to what WE wanted made everything easy. They were quick to respond, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely use them again, and recommend to anyone looking to sell their cottage or looking to purchase. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

As a single mother and a first time home buyer, I was leery of “pushy real estateagents”. I started working with Bonnie and quickly realized I found what Ineeded. She was a huge resource to me, explaining the current market, things towatch for, warning signs and what to expect in the offer/buying process all beforeI even found the right place. Bonnie actually listened to the things that wereimportant to me, and helped sort out my must-haves by showing me lots ofexamples so I could figure things out. In the end she found me a great place thatwas everything I was looking for. I knew she was a busy lady because she hasa lot of listings and clients, but she was always on it, always available, alwayswilling to make it work. Bonnie is very easy going, with a great attitude, lots ofexperienced, and her approach made it very clear she was focused on findingme the right place, and making sure I were comfortable throughout the process.She put me in contact with mortgage brokers, home inspectors and lawyers, Iwas amazed at how smoothly and how quickly everything came together. Iexpected the process to be very stressful, but in the end it was just exciting, asshe handled all the details. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bonnie to anyonewho is buying a home. Thanks again Bonnie!Valerie Burns

Our cottage buying experience was great because of John and Bonnie. They were very professional, with speedy replies, making a difficult situation easy. We had searched all over, and when we found the perfect cottage, we had less than 24 hours for the whole process. And Finchamsmet the deadline and we succeeded in becoming owners of our dream property. Highly recommend.

John, Bonnie and Eva didn't give up in selling our cottage......as they say there is a buyer out there just have to find them. Our cottage was on a small lake so there was a smaller pool of buyers and little harder to sell....but they did it !!!! They also did a great job in finding us a new cottage on a larger lake that met our budget !Kevin and Leanne Maguire
