Cimon Real Estate Team within Remax Hallmark Realty Group

Josh Cimon was very helpful in helping find a house right for me. He took the time to view houses, and weighed in pros and cons for each, and also provided help with refining the searches. He provided good lists of comparative sold results, and was helpful in coaching about putting in competitive offers.Every step of the process from searches, offers, down t closing he was helpful and readily available to help answer questions and provide the best information available.Professional, helpful, and took the time to make you feel confident about purchasing the right home for you. Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to buy or sell a home.

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Josh and Mark. We were first time homebuyers who chose to work with Josh as our buying agent and honestly couldn't have done it without him.Josh will 100% go to bat for you and will be there to help and give sound advise every step of the way. He is organized, trustworthy, humble, friendly, and highly professional. He truly goes above and beyond and made a stressful process feel effortless.We were lucky to have worked with him and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cimon Realty to our friends and family.Thank you Josh and Mark!

My partner and I had an amazing experience working with Josh. We were first time homebuyers and his knowledge and experience made the whole process much less stressful than it could have been. He was unfailingly friendly and upbeat (even as we dragged him from one questionable property to the next). Ultimately, it was Josh’s advice during a multiple offer situation that allowed us to purchase our home. He continues to support us as our closing date approaches and we couldn’t be more grateful!We also had a chance to go to a few viewings with Mark on the rare occasion Josh wasn’t able to make it as quickly as he deemed prudent. We really appreciated Mark’s expertise and willingness to go above and beyond to allow us to see properties as quickly as possible.

Knowing the Ottawa housing market was crazy, we were looking for a reliable real estate agent whom we could trust to help us navigate through, and were so lucky to find Mark. Indeed, our experience with him was simply amazing! With the help of Mark, we are able to achieve our goal of purchasing a new home and selling the old one in just about one month. This really spared us the frustrations and disappointments often associated with the bidding wars. Mark is patient, diligent, knowledgeable, trustworthy, resourceful and most importantly honest and very reliable. With an unquestionable integrity, Mark always has his client’s best interest at heart. We consider Mark the best agent one could ever dream of, and are so grateful to him for taking us through this journey.

I was a first-time homebuyer who bought my first home with the help of Josh and I had a first-class experience.From right out of the gate, I reached out to The Cimon Squad under not the best circumstances on my part -- the home I wanted was likely to close that evening, and I didn't have a buyer agent yet. Josh and Mark scrambled to get everything done for me, and while we ultimately didn't end up purchasing that property, they did everything they could on super short notice and very professionally the whole way through.After that, I worked with Josh under more typical circumstances and we saw multiple houses together. Throughout this whole process he was accommodating and professional, and clearly had a breadth of experience working with real estate. He advised me warning signs like problematic building materials, ghostly apparitions, and foundation issues, potentially saving me from a nightmare a few years down the line.When it came time to close the property that we ended up buying, he was strategic and attentive. For negotiating he employed Two-Moves-Ahead Techniques, as seen in the hit mini-series The Queen's Gambit™. But seriously, he's clearly a seasoned haggler and certainly saved me several thousand dollars there alone.I highly recommend Josh and Mark!

He even pre-emptively drafted an offer on the house we bought because he had a hunch it was the one!Always available: When we had to see a house that evening, we saw a house that evening.

Working with Josh was like working with a friend. I say that not because he wasn't professional, but because I felt like he was invested in me. He took the time to first get to know me and find out the things that were important to me, and to help me prioritize them. I believed that he was on my team and fought for the things I wanted - a second (or third) showing, getting questions answered prior to putting offers in, or inclusions/exclusions. He listened to my feedback and would tweak his recommendations, research, scheduling, or whatever else accordingly.I felt like he was on top of the real estate market and added value at each step of the process, from the initial meeting to after closing. He was available whenever I needed him for questions, to talk things through, and to visit houses. In my experience working with Josh, I believed that he had a solid grasp of the bidding mechanics and strategy, and was able to explain to me why he felt we should bid a certain way.Most importantly, because of all the above, I was able to trust him. Buying a house is a significant life event, and his presence calmed the storm of anxiety that can surround such an event.

Josh and Mark helped with my first home purchase, and they were a joy to have in my corner. They are a wonderful team, providing coverage for each other in a way that felt like they were always ready to go. From short-notice showings to closing negotiations, I felt supported and heard.I spent the majority of my time with Josh. Early on, he put a focus on seeing a variety of places, regularly, and rapidly. This was helpful for my search in narrowing down nice-to-haves and need-to-haves, but also for Josh and Mark in expanding or contracting our search parameters. During showings, Josh would often help me visualize my lifestyle and belongings filling the space. This was a surprisingly effective test to evaluate how it might feel to realistically live in the spaces we saw.I found Josh and Mark to be incredibly knowledgeable, but perhaps equally important, flexible and intuitive. In the deeply personal process of searching for a home, this openness is a welcome trait. We had a shared understanding of priorities, and left plenty of room for discovery. I felt guided but not restricted, open to possibility and informed.This team is patient, rigorous, and ready to move when it's go time. When that time came, my trust in their abilities felt well-placed. They were explanatory with their approach to closing, and were receptive to input at each step.Josh and Mark are my immediate recommendation to anyone looking for help in purchasing a home. Thank you both!
