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

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.

Other reviews for Home Purchase in Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes | Oct 2024
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
Home Purchase in Warkworth | Jul 2024
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

Condo Purchase in Peterborough | May 2024
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

Home Sale in Peterborough | Mar 2024
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
Home Purchase in Peterborough | Feb 2024
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
Home in Omemee | May 2024
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
Home Sale in Peterborough | Oct 2023
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

Home Purchase in Peterborough | Dec 2023
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
Home in Peterborough | Jan 2023
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
Home Purchase in Peterborough | Nov 2023

Home Purchase in Kawartha Lakes | Oct 2023
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

Home Sale in Lakefield | Jul 2023
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
Condo Purchase in Peterborough | Jun 2023
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

Land Sale in Off Map, Toronto | Oct 2022
Jeff provided an important Opinion of Value for a boat-access-only cottage property with very large frontage on Devil Lake. The property was very unusual, and providing a credible Opinion of Value required significant research and sophisticated analysis. Jeff was consistent in providing guidance on the length of time, and cost, of doing the work, and in meeting deadlines. He responded quickly to requests for advice, and was thoroughly professional throughout the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. - Peter Love
Townhome Purchase in Peterborough | Nov 2022
My partner and I had a fantastic experience with Jeff, Katie, and their team! We were looking to purchase our first home and had no idea what we wanted. Jeff was extremely patient with us as we toured a number of properties. He was quick and efficient in responding to our requests and able to get us into every place we were interested in. He eventually helped us to narrow down exactly what we were looking for, and supported us in purchasing the perfect first home. He made sure we got the best price possible and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend using Jeff and Katie. My partner and I look forward to settling into our first time for a while, but will absolutely be using them in the future when the time comes! - Em Osborne
Home in Bancroft | Nov 2022
Jeff assisted me and my wife with sale and purchase this past summer/fall. I interviewed several realtors prior to working with Jeff, and after meeting with Jeff it was clear to us that he was the best choice. Jeff was extremely easy to work with. He worked hard for us. He was transparent with us, and did not make us feel pressured in anyway. Jeff and his team took incredible photos of our home, and was also able to produce a high quality virtual tour of the home which was really nice. In the end, he got us top dollar for our house, right when the market was beginning to struggle. Jeff was then able to get us into another house quickly. He was very flexible, knowledgeable and professional. He provided us with valuable documentation and info on each home we were interested in. When we were ready to put an offer in on a house, I recommended a starting offer price…Jeff insisted we lower our offer price, and battled hard for us to get the best deal we could. I was very happy when we secured the home for well under asking, and felt that even though Jeff could have made more money off of us, he did the ethical thing and ensured we did not over spend. Highly recommend Jeff and his team. I will use him next time we’re buying and selling. - Nolan Ryan
Home in Bancroft | Sep 2022

Home Purchase in Consecon | Jul 2022
I found Jeff online after selling my house in Toronto. From the first contact, Jeff and his staff have been pleasant and professional. I was looking for a new home/property in a large area of Ontario (not a specific town) so it was a big job to plan and visit many properties, but Jeff and staff managed timing and booking showings. I truly enjoyed touring properties with Jeff - he is knowledgeable and was able to provide excellent information about many aspects of the homes. And he has a great sense of humour! I am delighted to recommend him! - Janet McKay

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
