I had a great experience working with Jeff. He is detail-oriented, thorough, and highly responsible throughout the entire process. Jeff took the time to understand my needs, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure every step was handled with care. I truly appreciated his professionalism and dedication. Highly recommended! - Lei Huang
We are happy that we put our trust in Jeff and Quinton- our home sold within 3 days. We came to them very defeated after trying to sell privately. After our first meeting, we knew they were the ones to get the job done for us and the results were exactly what we needed to start over. - Leah crozier
The Sands Team was responsive, courteous and helpful. Staging was really excellent, and my property sold in 2 days! I would recommend the Sands Team to anyone looking for an informed and active team. - Christopher Olive
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. The only "heavy lifting" we had as clients was to sign back the full asking offer 3 days after it was listed! Seamless, stress-free and efficient... would highly recommend and will use again. Thanks for everything!! - AMY MOUGENEL
Overall, Jeff, Kate and the team were excellent to work with. Got the job done. We sold the house and it was very professional. Thank you for all your hard work. - Lorraine Brown
Jeff and his team jumped right in to our home and had it ready for market super quick. The group text line kept us informed and able to reach them quickly. After 1 weekend we had multiple offers and a new purchaser for our investment property keeping our money from dwindling away in today's market. - Warren Lloyd
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
The Sands & Hadden Team provided great support in our search for a home in Peterborough. Along with their assistant Amanda, they responded immediately to missed calls, provided emailed information on moving queries and details, and their interactions were always cheerful and professional. They are guiding us through the paperwork of our purchase and helping to acclimatize us with our move from another city. We highly recommend the Jeff Sands & Katie Hadden Team. - Barb McCormick
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
Jeff and his team were very knowledgeable and experienced. He went above and beyond to help us with our sale. Communication was very quick in responding to questions. I was very happy to have him sell our house and would highly recommend him. - Mike and Karen
Jeff worked hard to put the deal together He knew the market very well and had a good match for the property Pet is well informed every step of the process until the transaction was completed - Chuck
Jeff Sands and his team were very approachable and a pleasure to work with. He went through all the adequate details for the sale of my home, and answered any questions with a prompt response. I couldn't have asked for a better team, everyone was very friendly and kind. I would highly recommend Jeff Sands and his team, and would use their services again. - Grace
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
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
Knowledgeable of the area and house details, understanding of family dynamics and needs, friendly and communicates well and efficiently, also comes with a well balanced team to meet multiple needs and expertise. - Ashley
Jeff Sands made our buying process smooth and enjoyable. The knowledge he brings and his calming nature was incredible, especially as first time home buyers. He found us exactly what we were looking for and was helpful through every step of the process. He also has an amazing team behind him that is there for you no matter what. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. - Jess
Jeff is hands down the top agent in Peterborough. His knowledge about the industry is unmatched and we were super successful in purchasing a home with him. I would recommend him to anyone. - Max
Jeff Sands was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had a tight time limit, and he did nothing but help and guide us from the first moment we spoke. He made this process quick and simple! Being first-time home buyers and out of province, many people were not taking us seriously, and for the relocation of my husband's job, we needed to act fast! He secured our dream home for our family even before we arrived in Ontario to look at it. He provided great insight and energy on every viewing. This wonderful and charismatic team will help you along every step of the way, making the process of inspecting and securing your home a breeze. I would happily work with Jeff again and recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor! - Koral Green
Jeff was a great resource in helping me secure a new property. He was very knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive. He was very diligent in negotiating to come to a satisfactory price for both parties. - KRISTY MANOU
Jeff and Team made our recent purchase perfectly seamless. Accommodated every request and offered excellent guidance in the purchase of our first home! Would recommend Jeff to any friends in the area! - Cam Tooth
We can't say enough good things about Jeff, Katie and the whole team. From the moment we met we felt in good, trustworthy and knowledgeable hands. And when the time came to make our offer on a property, we had their expert and supportive advice every step of the way - helping us understand the value of the property, its various features that we might have missed, the character of the neighbourhood, they managed all the negotiations, the documentation, the back and forths, the signings etc. etc. And they were always available at a moment's notice to respond to our many questions. And even after the sale, they went the extra mile to ensure that things had gone smoothly and even helped to move out some trash that had been left behind on the property. Importantly, they did all of this with warmth and sincere friendliness which is a thing not to be underestimated in these big life transactions. In the end, the whole deal went as smoothly as we could have hoped. We can say with no hesitation that if you are looking for a superb realtor in Peterborough and surrounding areas, pick the Katie Hadden and Jeff Sands team - you will be happy you did. - John Hannah
Jeff and katie and their team were absolutely amazing, respectful and considerate. Walked me thru the whole process from start to finish with kindness and sound advice. I would recommend them highly - Michelle Marquis
Was fast and easy for our first sale didnt have to really do alot jeff found our buyer within the first twenty four hours,did a great job with closing date and am glad we found him. - john piper
I am so thankful I got aligned with Jeff Sands to buy most recent property. He’d the most knowledgeable, hard working, attentive, likeable, trust worthy agent I’ve ever worked with. I felt listened to and respected from day one. I appreciated how enjoyable and smooth everything was not to mention lucrative. Jeff simply had my best interests at heart and as a disabled person felt safe and in the best of hands. I trusted him with my investment and will definitely be working with him in the future. - Naomi Brewer
This was our second time working with Jeff and we have been very satisfied with his results and the overall experience. We bought and sold with him and would do so again. Jeff's team did a great job emptying and quickly staging the property, great service. - Enzio Chiavatti
Jeff was personable and professional. He was highly familiar with the market and helped up through a challenging potential sale. He offered great insight and excellent advice and in the end, helped us purchase a property that was suited well for us. His team was also very helpful and responsive and we would definitely recommend them for the purchase of a home! - Stacey Ambler
Jeff Sands is an enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable realtor with a great support team who was ready, willing and able to show us homes in the Peterborough area. We were able to quickly find a house that we loved with Jeff's help and would recommend him to anyone looking in the Peterborough area. - Michael McBain
Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious, hard working, professional and a really nice human being. I would work with Jeff again and I would highly recommend him. Thanks Jeff and Team! - Peggy Prince
Amazing team! Do yourself a favour and just call them. There is a reason Jeff is rated number one. Highly recommended. In fact, I had such a great experience I’ve already told so many friends and family about it! - Aislinn McDonald
Jeff is professional and helpful. We originally listed the property in the fall and when it did not sell for what we wanted, Jeff was able to take it off the market. We did some minor repairs, he staged it and we sold it within a few days when we listed it in the spring. Jeff encouraged us at each stage and continued to work hard to sell our property. - Jessica Phillips
We bought a house in a city and market that was unfamiliar to us and he made it easy. He took the time to understand our needs and was very knowledgeable about the market. He and his team were responsive and always ready to answer our questions. We would highly recommend him and would use him again. Thanks Jeff! - Nancy and Jeff
My husband and I can't recommend Jeff enough! When we decided to relocate to Peterborough, we started by looking for the local realtor, familiar with different areas of the city, with great overall reviews. We've been fortunate enough to find Jeff. He is very knowledgeable, great negotiator, has years of experience, and he is just plain good at what he does. With a very quick turnaround, he had our property on the market with a fabulous-looking listing on multiple social platforms, beautiful and informative brochures, home inspection done, and professional video. Little gift of appreciation of our business was a nice touch as well as a bouquet of fresh flowers.We found Jeff being very honest and down to earth, easy to deal with. He took the stress out of the otherwise pretty stressful time. His knowledge of the current market help us to list our house at the right price and get it sold quickly. We're glad we followed Jeff's advice in regards of buying our new house as well. At the end, we've got beautiful home, which check all the boxes off our wish list, for below asking price. We purchase a home we love within 12 hours of our property selling. If you get to work with Jeff Sands and his team, you won't be disappointed. My husband and I keep remarking to one another how thankful we are that Jeff was our Realtor :) - Nelly Minacs
Jeff was extremely sensitive to my needs and offered suggestions for legal advice to carry me through the process. He is professional and reachable, which are important qualities for me. - Patricia Martin
Jeff Sands went above and beyond for the sale of our home. Genuinely, and while I would advise not everyone expect this - he did what we thought was impossible. Our mortgage was up for renewal and our daughter had finished school, so we needed to sell our investment property/house that she was staying at. There was about a month we had - we wanted to get it on the market by the end of September, but really needed it to close before the first of November. The odds were slim to none that this would happen and we basically accepted that it just wouldn’t because of the short window. Luckily, Jeff had enough knowledge and someone interested who was willing to close so quickly. Regardless of being able to pull of the impossible, Jeff was fantastic. Always there to lend a helping hand or advise as to next steps to take with getting the home ready for the market, super speedy with setting everything up from cleaning to photography and more. Above all, Jeff was kind and very easy to talk to. I cannot say enough about how much he helped - if you’re looking for an agent, I can’t recommend him enough. - Linda Kloc
very helpful, and accommodating considering we were out of province when requesting his services. Highly recommend Jeff and his team to sell and help you buy a house. Thanks again - Victoria Hassaan
An excellent adventure returning to home ownership - Jeff's help navigating the process was invaluable. Great team effort re lawyer, mortgage broker, financial planners. Will approach Jeff first for any advice or referrals in the future. - Christopher Brown
Katie Hadden, Jeff Sands and team are incredible. They are concerned about your needs and use their knowledge and negotiating skills to find the best outcome for you. They explained every detail and printed all the information for me. They spent a huge amount of time finding the best possible home for me and keep me informed every day. They responded immediately to any questions or requests. They thoroughly understand the housing market, which allowed me to buy in a safe, ideal location. Their energy and dedication will amaze you. I highly recommend them as they will exceed your expectations. - Catherine Montebourg
Jeff knows his stuff. His experience and wisdom enabled him to essentially draw out a map of how the process of selling would go. What impressed me most was that he was ability to predict the market and the buyers intentions with shocking accuracy. - Alan Westerman
HIRE. JEFF. We had a very unique property to sell and it just so happened that we listed it as the market was transitioning from a balanced market- to more of a buyers market. To wrap our minds around the fact that our house was not selling within a few days, and then weeks... was tough. Jeff was great though, he was great at reassuring us to keep strong, to keep our eyes on our goal. He sat down with us and created an excellent strategy, competitive pricing, great marketing; including a few open houses. We learned that selling a home, in a changing market is hard. BUT we completely trusted Jeff and his team 100 percent. Even when we couldn't see the whole picture. He KNOWS what he is doing, he is on TOP of the market, and we felt so well represented. We celebrated big time- when were able to sell our home for fair market value! Then!!!!!!! Jeff found us a home that is SO well matched for our family. He was able to negotiate on our behalf and worked so hard to get us a better deal then we could have ever imagined. Like, a house we could have only dreamed of. is NOW our reality. If you are looking for a Realtor who knows the market, who knows how to negotiate, and has your best interest, and goals in mind. Your search stops here. - Chantel Westerman
Jeff was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was patient while we figured out what we wanted, and once we knew what we wanted, he was all over it and found us the perfect place. Great communication, friendly, and knowledgeable. - Jackson Newlands
Jeff was a pleasure to work with at every step of our retirement home purchase in the Kawartha Lakes. We were planning a move from Ottawa, and his openness and extensive knowledge of the area and the market were crucial in quickly helping us get an overall sense of the Kawartha Lakes. From his helpful and quick response whenever we requested a showing, his assistant Sydney’s prompt replies and detailed documentation - to Jeff’s finely crafted impressive offer that landed us our dream home… Jeff always went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommended!! We will not hesitate to call on Jeff in the future. - Jim and June Kristmanson
A great guy and a fantastic agent, we looked at 5 or so properties with no preasure at all, when finally deciding on the right home the transaction was simple and stressless. - joe palk
I had an excellent experience working with Jeff. He listened to what I was looking for and showed me appropriate properties. He was always available for showings. He has excellent knowledge of the market and trends. He would always answer questions and follow up with information requested very quickly. I highly recommend Jeff as a realtor. - Shelley Van Driel
Jeff Sands was communicative an knowledgeable. He kept me abreast of the whole process as it happened. He was flexible and responsive. - Katherine Burt
I have had a wonderful experience working with Jeff and Katie. I reached out for the purchase of a new home after seeing their positive reviews from others, and their experience, knowledge and support through the process alleviated so much stress. They went above and beyond to make things easy and I would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling! - Gillian Pacey
Jeff Sands worked with me on both the sale of my existing property and the purchase of my new one. He was engaging to work with and it felt like we were acting more as a team as opposed to client and realtor. His research on the market was thorough and he was spot on in both approach and pricing. Great job Jeff! - Brian Baker
I purchased and sold with the Jeff Sands/Katie Hadden team and highly recommend them for any real estate transaction. They have many years experience but what sets them apart from other agents is their passion and effort to get the deal done for the client. They know the business so well. I felt confident from my first meeting I was in good hands. They didn't waste my time showing me properties not meeting my criteria as other agents do. They want the client to find what they want. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed!!! - lori atkins
We called Jeff as he had very high reviews. We’re so glad we did! He provided us with incredible service while buying our home. He was always quick to respond and went above and beyond while house hunting. We’re so happy with our home and we know it wouldn’t have been possible without him. - Kathleen Blackmore
Jeff was wonderful from giving me advice on how to get ready to sell to finding the perfect home to move into. Some realtors are a dime a dozen, Jeff is definitely not one. He goes above and beyond while having a low key no pressure approach - Caryn MacLoghlin
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
