Royal LePage Locations North, Collingwood Real Estate Brokerage

We had the privilege of meeting & working with Candace and Brenda Armstrong for the recent sale of our new condominium. Both ladies were so friendly, yet top notch professionals. They went above and beyond in helping us through the whole process. Despite our initial uncertainties to rent or sell Candace was quick to respond to our changes and was impressively helpful. The entire process was seamless from great advice to getting her fabulous photography team, Erica & Jason straight on it and done to perfection! Up & SOLD in less than 24 hours!!They are the BEST and we highly recommend them!!!Thanks, Sharon & Kevin

Royal le Page Locations North is light years ahead of it's competitors. Desmond is truly engaged in running a successful and progressive business. His love for technology gives the Brokerage a significant edge.He treats his Realtors and Admin with respect and generosity. Consistently year after year, Desmond continues to raise the bar in sales, education and technology in Real Estate. Simply outstanding.

Making the switch to Royal LePage Locations North was a great move for my business and my clients. For me personally, the support and culture is incredible. For my clients, having access to the largest network of listings and buyers in the area is a huge asset on both the selling and buying side.

I am a relatively new agent, but have nothing but good things to say about our Brokerage. The work environment is fantastic, with agents of all experience levels sharing knowledge and helping whenever possible. The Brokerage also offers consistent, ongoing training and learning seminars that have been invaluable to me since I started working here.I have had nothing but great experiences working here, and am very happy to be working for a Broker of Record that I respect, and that keeps up to date with anything and everything that changes in the Real Estate industry.

We used Donna Crane to sell our fathers home in Collingwood last fall and she was outstanding.Before choosing a real estate agent, we conducted some research to see who would be the best choice in the Collingwood area. Royal LePage, Locations North was the Broker that was most praised by friends and acquaintances and I saw that they put a lot of work into their listings.We sent an email to request someone contact us about selling. Within the hour, Donna Crane called.We spoke with Donna and then met with her at the home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing some info regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing lots of info on the area and what to expect. Donna made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps to give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken for the listing, and a lot more.When we saw our listing we were blown away. Donna’s hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing. Donna arranged some open houses for the weekend and we accepted an offer on the Monday, just 4 days after it was listed.The offer was considerably more than the listing price, by more than 10%!Donna walked us through every step of the whole process, from initial contact right through to the sale and beyond. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.I've recommended Donna Crane and Royal LePage, Locations North to everyone I know. Donna is a true professional and a genuinely nice person. You'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.Thank you Donna, much appreciated!John & Dave Williams

Recently, I posted a less then favourable review based on some inaccuracies that were perceived about a property that we were looking to purchase. There was a concern expressed to disclosure issues about land use in the proximity of the farm we were seriously looking at making a non-conditional offer on. After writing the review I quickly received notice from the brokerage owner seeking additional details so that he might be able to address my concerns with the appropriate sales team and to give explanation to comments.Desmond was prompt to investigate things thoroughly and returned my call later that day. I had questioned why the sales agent had not told us about a large development where music concerts would be held on the adjacent property to the one we wanted to purchase. This would significantly impact the area and, in my opinion, decease the land valve and potential reason why one might want a country living. i did not believe this was new information since these projects require approvals at various levels of government and normally hold community consultations.After the follow-up I scrutinized his findings by calling the Township, Nottawasaga conservation Authority, and the county to see about timelines and whether or not the sales agents could have known of this dynamic change. To my surprise, and it appears to everyone’s, there was indeed no way that the seller, sales team or brokerage could have known about this development back when the house was listed in the fall.I wanted to both retract my poor review and reword one to give credit were credit is due. The owner of Royal Lepage North did not dismiss my concerns, but rather responded appropriately and quickly to looked into addressing my possible problems. I owe them an apology and thanks for both clarifying everything, not over-reacting to the negative review and extending me the opportunity (I was not asked) to rectify the inaccuracies listed in the review. This is a great business practice and I wanted everyone to know that. I’ve gone from unamused to overly impressed. Well done.

As a career sales professional I have worked for organisations both big and small. Locations North's Ownership and Management is the most forward thinking and progressive business that I have been affiliated with. The Brokerage's success is based upon providing the Sales People and Brokers with the necessary support and tools to excel in their careers in a fun professional environment. There is not better place to work.

Shelby Elstone: Once we have a full application I am happy to book you in for a showing."Also from Shelby Elstone: "for my safety as I only know your name and need to know who I will be meeting in person"Very creepy. I mean she needs to know the name of my kids before she shows me a property? I own many rental properties and I never once ask for anything until after the person has seen the place and wants to apply to rent it. If you're afraid of meeting people in person before you know their SIN

Blessed to have had the Armstrong Team in my corner during a challenging time. I recommend Candace or Brenda without reservation. They were fast and efficient in closing our home. They will surpase your expectaions to ensure you are happy.

Locations North incessantly strives to be the best within their industry. They have an exceptional group of professional and experienced agents. If you want representation from the most progressive and successful local brokerage, then look no further. Having recently read the local market share statistics, it's no surprise that they sell the most real estate in the region.
