Keller Williams Experience Realty

Mary Lou and I had decided to downsize in 2013 and after a referral from a friend came into contact with Ian and Caroline Hocking from Keller Williams Real Estate. They were both terrific. They made the whole process relatively pain-free from selling our place to finding the right new home for us. We couldn't be happier with our new home. We found both Ian and Caroline not only to be very professional and knowledgeable but also understanding, honest and forthright.

I can't say enough about Ian and his team. Ian is very knowledgeable about real estate in Barrie and in surrounding communities. He helped me to get a great price for the house I was selling, even arranging (at no charge to me) for an interior designer to walk through the house with me and provide many tips to make the house looks it's best.Ian was very patient while I looked at dozens of houses to try and find one I wanted to purchase. He definitely seemed more interested in making sure I made the right decisions than he was in just making a sale, which isn't true for all agents.Ian provided great advice every step of the way, and was encouraging when I was just about ready to give up. (With the competitive 2021 market, I tried for 5 homes before I was successful.) Ian and his team work very smoothly together, so that the one or two times I wanted to see a house but Ian was not free, another agent stepped in and I never had to wait.Ian was very responsive to my emails and texts, and patiently answered all of my questions about the process, houses I was seeing, neighborhoods, strategies for selling and buying, etc. I would have no hesitation recommending Ian and his team to family and friends.

I am a home stager and have worked with the Hocking Homes team for several years. They are professional and efficient. They will go to any length to sell a client's home including all aspects of print and social media.Being an associate" member of this team is very rewarding. They get homes listed and sold quickly while being honest and upfront with both sellers and buyers."

Guy Gagnon made our home buying experience very enjoyable. With his attention to detail and knowledge of the market, he put us in the best position possible to make a successful purchase of our new home. We would highly recommend Guy to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Barrie area.

Ian and Caroline have helped my husband and I buy and sell residential properties in the Barrie area over the past five years. They took the time to understand our situation and unique requirements. The timely insights they presented about the Barrie market that helped us make smarter decisions. Ultimately saving us time, money and aggregation. I would highly recommend this dynamic duo to first time buyers and investors. Their professionalism and patience is refreshing and you can trust them to steer you in the right direction. Plus I'll bet you will love their British accent.

As first time home buyers, we thought that shopping for our first house would be stressful and intimidating, but thanks to Caroline and her team (Barry and others) the experience turned out to be enjoyable and stress free. Caroline does a great job finding properties that match your taste and budget, replies promptly to inquiries and always would help with and advice. We are looking forward for more business with Hocking team. Recommend 100%.

Guy and the whole Hocking team are EXCELLENT.They brought the deals to us to work through, gave us sound advice, and delivered a personal feel during the negotiation phase of the deal. This is a professional team that works hard to earn your trust and business.I would continue too, and have already recommended them many people. Making the decision to list and or purchase with Guy or anyone from the Hocking team is solid decision to make a change.

We listed and sold our house with Guy in May 2014. Guy had multiple buyers interested in our home prior to it being actually listed. We had scheduled a family vacation the week our house ended up being listed, and Guy jumped through hoops to make sure we could enjoy our time away. Guy was professional, and went above and beyond to help us prepare our home to be listed and through the entire process. I would recommend Guys service as a real estate agent to our family and friends and will be using him again if/when we ever decide to sell again. Guy is not only our real estate agent, but he has become a friend.

We had the opportunity to work with Guy Gagnon and Ian Hocking to sell and buy and it took us months to find what we were really looking for. Guy was patient enough to show us dozens and dozens of homes before we found the one". We were also not easy to work with and had some challenges with the sell of our previous home and the purchase of our new home and they were there every step of the way supporting us and offering advice. Thank you!"

I've known Guy Gagnon with the Hocking Homes Team for almost 2 years. He has taught me so much about real estate and home ownership over these years. What makes Guy different from every other Real Estate Agent out there is that he's focused on getting to know you as a person and what you're looking for in a home, and really fostering that relationship with you long term. I highly recommend his services!
