Home Purchase in Peterborough | Apr 2026
Jeff was outstanding to work with from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire home buying process. He always answered our questions quickly and provided us detailed information packages when we were walking through houses that helped us feel confident and informed every step of the way. What really stood out was his dedication after we decided to purchase our home. We ran into a few issues during closing, including problems with the furnace, a window, and the dishwasher, and Jeff handled everything promptly and professionally. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that the process was as stress-free as possible. We felt very well supported throughout the experience and would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a hardworking, reliable, and caring real estate agent. - Crystal Curry
Home Sale in Peterborough | Jan 2024
Exceptional work. Jeff's understanding of the market and clearly the correct strategy made the sale I was hoping for. After talking with several other agencies and disappointed with their responses I found Jeff understood my goals and gave me the most honest assessment and strategy. - Sean Arthur

Townhome Sale in Otonabee, Peterborough | Sep 2025
As if the prospect of selling a house isn’t scary enough, add living outside of the province. It was utterly overwhelming until we teamed up with Jeff. Our nightmare turned into the most perfect dream! From providing sound advice about selling price to coordinating contractors for repairs – we were in awe of the work Jeff and his team offered. His teammate Quentin was an all star when it came to suggesting touch ups, picking perfect stagging and respecting our budget and preferences. We received frequent updates and photos of progress, and Quetin was a fantastic sport when my mom stopped by unannounced. In this day and age, it is not hard to feel distrustful and suspicious, as if everyone has a hidden agenda. At no point did we feel that with Jeff or his team. They centred our needs and honoured our requests. They took the time to explain it all, alleviating all doubts. Our hearts swell with gratitude for how they handled it and we hope to one day thank them in person (but it turns out online reviews mean more anyway!). Looking back, we think our favourite part of owning that house was selling it because we got to work with the best team ever! - Kate
Home in Edmison Heights, Peterborough | Apr 2026
When we decided it was time to begin looking for a new home, we immediately agreed on one thing - we would be using Jeff and Katie again. This is our second time working with them and are again so grateful for their help, expertise, negotiating skills, and support. They are accessible and responsive, and helped us purchase our dream home. If you are looking for agents to support you through the process of buying or selling a home, we can’t recommend Jeff and Katie enough! - Emmett & Em

We worked with Jeff Sands to find a rental property in Peterborough. Not being from the area, we were unsure where to buy or knew very little about the market. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful. He took the time to find a house that met all of our criteria. We recommend him to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home. - Ana

Jeff, was very very helpful. He was the first to reply to our inquiry and he came back with advise before the other agent came in...late. He offered his personal equipment for an issue we had. He guided us confidently through the whole process. Would definitely use again, no question. - Tom

Jeff was awesome to rent from. Super easy to communicate with and always quick to fix any issues that come up.

Townhome Sale in Peterborough | Oct 2025
Our home-selling experience was a truly unique one, as we were leaving Canada and moving to Australia --- in our 70's! Knowledge of the CURRENT market was essential to our listing it at a price that would help it to sell relatively quickly --- not be here till next spring! Jeff was able to explain what the house should be listed at, and why (with RECENT sales, not just favorable ones from a few years ago!), so the outcome could be a combination of the best price possible (in the current market) along with the best timing. In addition to knowing the market, Jeff has a team of people behind him and many value-added services that are all included in the standard real estate fee. They included pre-inspection, very extensive staging (with the talented and friendly Quinton!), who also helped us get rid of stuff not even Vinnie's or Habitat for Humanity wanted. The Team answered questions or concerns promptly throughout all the stages --- easing our way through the pre-sale process, the many showings, and then working carefully with us through our first offer (with NO conditions! Truly a Godsend!). We got a sale in 2 weeks and were able to book our tickets to our new home. Was it stressful? Of course! But they helped us every inch of the way, including promising removal of any last-minute items if needed. It was their values we appreciated the most. Openness and honesty, integrity (doing what you say you'll do), and kindness from EVERY member of Jeff's team. I think a prolonged selling process might have killed us with the stress of it, considering our age and the impact of such a major move, carrying only suitcases to the other side of the world! They cared about us as people, and were unfailingly kind and gentle. I think you have to add a big "+" to the 5 stars!! - Flo and Bruce Levia
Condo Purchase in Peterborough | Sep 2025
Jeff was awesome in helping me find a condo that met all my personal needs. He responds to all emails and calls promptly, listens attentively and had my interests, wants and needs top of mind when looking for that perfect place for me. His personalized, friendly approach was what helped me get to where I am now, happily moving into my new space. - Sue Grafe
Home Purchase in Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes | Aug 2025
Jeff made the entire process of looking for and buying a house enjoyable. I had little to no knowledges about the process going into it and he was always there to answer any questions I had. When looking at houses he would add great tips about things I would want in a house that I had never even thought of. I would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy or sell a house as his dedication to his clients really showed. - Andrew

Home Purchase in Peterborough | Aug 2025
My partner and I were referred to Jeff by family members who purchased a house with him last year. This was our first home purchase and Jeff's team was incredibly responsive when we had questions about homes we were interested in, figuring out issues with the seller's banking info, and overall were very nice people to work with. It's clear Jeff likes what he does and is knowledgeable about homes. We're hoping to not have to move for many years, but if we had to, we would work with Jeff again. - Megan Miller

Jeff and Katie Helped Us Sell Our Home and Buy Our Dream Home in Less Than a Month! If you’re searching for trustworthy, responsive, and highly knowledgeable real estate agents in Peterborough or the Kawarthas, look no further than Jeff and Katie. We had an incredible experience buying and selling with their team. They are: - Honest and transparent - Strong communicators who keep you informed every step of the way - Deeply familiar with the Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough real estate market - Truly caring professionals who go above and beyond --- Here’s our story: After a frustrating fall of unsuccessfully listing our home, we were skeptical heading into the spring. We interviewed a few realtors in Peterborough, but Jeff and Katie stood out immediately. While other agents delayed consultations, Jeff scheduled a call the very next day—on a Saturday. A few days later, he and Katie came to our home to take preliminary photos and assess the property—all before we even agreed to work together. Less than a week after that, our home was listed. It went on the market for just one weekend. Thanks to Jeff and Katie’s incredible digital marketing strategy—including professional photos, targeted online promotion, and a compelling listing—we had 14 showings and received two strong offers by Monday night. It happened so quickly we didn’t even have time to get the pamphlets printed! Next came the question: Where do we go now? We're expecting a baby this September and wanted to move closer to family for support. We had our sights set on Port Perry—a charming town with a small-town feel. Even though it’s a bit of a drive from Peterborough, Jeff and Katie were more than willing to help. That Saturday, they showed us six homes in Port Perry. One of them felt perfect—almost too good to be true. After our home sale firmed up that Sunday, we submitted an offer for our dream home. Thanks to Jeff and Katie’s skillful negotiation, our offer was accepted the next day—under asking price! They helped coordinate the home inspection and kept the process smooth and efficient from start to finish. Now we’re moving into our forever home in August, close to loved ones, just in time for this exciting new chapter of our lives. Jeff and Katie and team, thank you for making this entire experience seamless and memorable. We are so grateful for your dedication, professionalism, and personal touch. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Peterborough, or the Kawarthas, Jeff and Katie's team is who you want by your side. - Lindsay Short
Home Purchase in Peterborough | May 2025
I had an amazing experience working with Jeff, Alexa, and the rest of the team. They were not only professional but also very warm, engaging, and friendly. I immediately felt incredibly comfortable and at ease. Jeff was very effective at listening to and intuiting my needs. My past challenges and circumstances were approached with compassion and non-judgement. It took no time for him to understand what I was looking for and I think he realized we had found the prefect house before I did. I honestly don't know how my experience could have been any better! - Cathy MacDonald

Jeff and his stellar team, knocked it out of the park! From our first meeting, they were responsive, knowledgeable and professional. They did an incredible job staging the property.

Working with Jeff Sands at JeffandKatie.ca has been an excellent experience from start to finish. As an out-of-town buyer unfamiliar with the Peterborough market, I really appreciated Jeff’s deep local knowledge and honest advice. He helped me focus on the best areas for my goals and steered me away from locations that wouldn’t suit my needs. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I was able to purchase a great townhouse that’s perfect for Trent University students to rent. Jeff was always responsive, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area! - Lee and Mark Fisher

Jeff is a fantastic agent and was instrumental in helping us buy our first home. As first time buyers there was alot we didn't know, but Jeff was there at every turn, leading us through the process and making sure that we didn't get lost! To top it off, Jeff went the extra mile time and time again to help us with our unique circumstances and needs. I can honestly say that without Jeff & Katie's phenomenal service, we wouldn't be enjoying the home we are in today. Choose Jeff & Katie, you won't regret it! - Tim
Home Purchase in Peterborough | Nov 2024
This was my first time buying a house. I did plenty of research and spoke with multiple real estate agents before diving in. Jeff easily came out on top. Every interaction I had with Jeff was a positive one. Every concern addressed, every question answered. You know you're doing your job right when every single interaction leaves your clients feeling great. Jeff was super flexible and accommodated my schedule. He was quick to move and had great advice along the way. As a first time home buyer, I'm not sure I would have done as well as I did without Jeff's help with negotiations. I'm beyond grateful and when the time comes to move again I know who I'm going to call. - Andrew Fletcher

I can't say enough how much I appreciated having Jeff as our realtor as we bought our first home! We were nervous to start the process as it seemed like such an overwhelming undertaking, and he just made us feel so at ease from start to finish. His energy and enthusiasm is contagious, and I can tell that he truly cares about the people he is working with. He listened to our needs and offered invaluable insights into the real estate world. I truly wouldn't want to buy a house with anyone else! - Melanie Daw
