Marion is a full service Real Estate Broker who works primarily with seniors and their families as they navigate the maze of financial, legal and emotional issues that accompany a later-in-life move and/or estate sale. She works to avoid crisis by helping her clients plan and make informed decisions as opposed to having them avoid the matter altogther. Marion minimizes her clients overwhelm and also helps address their fear of the process and their unknowns. She is an experienced and trusted ally for all things real estate related.
Marion is very calm and understated, a good listener and brings an excellent understanding of seniors' issues with respect to buying and selling. She keeps staging costs at her cost and provides many services pre-and post-sale or purchase, such as recommended movers, cleaning services and provides boxes and packing supplies. Most importantly, Marion understands the market and the trends as they develop and is very patient and low key with her advice to her clients. - David W Constable
Reply: Thank you so much for the very kind words and positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with you and helping you along your downsizing journey. I'm looking forward to visiting with you in your new home soon!
Marion was amazing to work with! Very professional, honest and caring! We were looking for a real estate agent to help sell my elderly father's house and find him a retirement condo. Moving out of his house that he owned for over 50 years was such a difficult decision but Marion made the process so much easier! Not only did she find us a reasonable offer for his house, but she found him a wonderful retirement condo that he absolutely loves! - Tammy Waugh-Stewart
Reply: Thanks very much for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with your dad and I'm so very thrilled that things worked out as they did. They say that moving is one of the most stressful things that people do. Being in a house for over 50 years and now having to move forward with a major change, while making decisions without your life partner is incredibly challenging. I wish your dad (and your family) nothing but the best as the next chapter in your lives unfolds.
Marion Goard went above and beyond for us. We were all from different cities and Marion helped us organize the sale in what were very difficult circumstances having recently lost our sister. She kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Her honesty and openness was much appreciated. - Linda Maruska, estate trustee
Reply: I was grateful to have been referred to you and able to help with the sale of your sisters townhouse. The situation was very difficult for you as the Estate Trustee yet you made the best decisions possible given the circumstances. Being able to help you through this and bring in the various resources needed so you could focus on other matters was a very rewarding experience for me. Thank you!
Marion went above and beyond my expectations. She made the process very stress free. She handled all the little details for me and her response time for communications was excellent. - Heather robinson
Reply: You were great to work with and I’m happy to have had a role on your journey!
Marion listened carefully to our criteria and showed us round properties that matched. When the right home was identified, she acted swiftly and secured the sale at the right price and on the right terms. Exceptional! - Neil M
Reply: You were on a mission to purchase a new home and purchase you did - a great home! Wishing you many years of happiness in your new diggs!
Marion went well beyond to ensure our sale was as stress free as it could be. I would 100 percent recommend her to sell your home. She paid attention to every detail - Betty Robertson
Reply: Thanks for the wonderful review Betty. You and Jim were a pleasure to work with and I'm happy that your plans unfolded without a hitch. Wishing you much happiness in your new home!
Reply: It was a pleasure helping with the sale of your property. From the day we met several years at an open house I hosted I was happy to help with your real estate needs in any way I could. I’m thrilled that you were able to find a new property to call home and gave me the opportunity to go on your journey with you.
Marion showed great thoughtfulness and compassion toward my mother who, at 93 years of age, was selling her condo where she lived for 45 years. She provided moving and showing options that best suited our family’s needs and circumstances that resulted in the least amount of inconvenience for all concerned. It was a pleasure to work with someone who is as detail-oriented, efficient, and professional as Marion. - Rita Lachance
Reply: I was honoured to be your agent of choice and glad that we were able to secure an offer for your moms condo apartment in short order. Thanks for placing your trust and confidence in me!
Marion was an incredible resource to us. Professional, compassionate, resourceful, a one stop shop. If you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on when selling or down sizing this is the one you want. She went above and beyond anything we had expected. She has wonderful contacts for moving items, donating or selling contents. On top of the new world we are in with all the restrictions she made it seamless and effortless supporting us long distance, half way across Canada. Great communication via email or texts and always just a phone call away. Thank you for the incredible experience during a difficult time. You are a gem in your field. - Lisa Schwartz
Reply: There's definitely something to be said about being at the right place at the right time! I was thrilled to receive your call inquiring about my services yet saddened to learn of the circumstances. It was a pleasure working with you. I'm happy that we were able to secure an offer for the property quickly and that all the service providers recommended to you exceeded your expectations. Thank you!
We hired Marion because of a friend's recommendation. She proved to be very professional and straightforward in her approach to getting our place successfully sold. She went above and beyond her role as agent to guide us through the entire process when we needed extra help and advice. All in all, a very positive experience. We highly recommend hiring Marion for any real estate needs. - Lynda & Gil Jesson
Reply: I'm happy to hear that you found the sale of your property to be a very positive experience and that I was abke to guide you through some of your challenges. I love what I do and as I always say - happy to help in any way I can. So glad that you've landed safely in your new home and can now focus on living your lives to the fullest. Thank you for placing your trust and confidence in me with something as important as the sale of your home.
Very thorough research. Accommodated our requests for visits. Able to recommend a very qualified inspector and negotiated a great buy price. Great work. Plus Marion is a very pleasant individual who understands our needs and requirements. - Marisa Divjak
Reply: I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to help you find such a great home. It's perfect for you and I'm sure you'll settle in nicely. Features like the second kitchen and the beautiful backyard oasis don't surface often. Glad that you're now able to call this lovely property your own!
Exceptionally professional throughout the whole process. Kept us up-to-date, on time with thorough research and we were able to sell in four days for listed price. Absolutely fantastic experience. One of the differentiators was her complete understanding of our local market and neighborhood. It was clear she understood it better than other realtors. - Michael Divjak
Reply: Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that you had a 'fantastic experience'. All your hard work prepping for the sale of your home definitely paid off.
Marion was a very knowledgeable realtor she listened to all our wants and needs. She took us through each step to make sure we understood the processes. She kept us updated throughout the whole process. We highly recommend her as your choice for a top notched Real Estate agent. - Lorraine Missons
Reply: Thanks Lorraine. You and David were a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed getting to know both of you along our journey. So glad to see you're settling in well into your new home!
Marion was great in helping to keep us grounded through the whole process of staging, selling and moving. Her tips and advice were so greatly appreciated. Marion was so kind and generous in meeting all our needs. - Carmen and Carol
Reply: There was no doubt your lovely home would sell in no time - and it did. The purchasers have bought themselves a fabulous home with quality reno's and impeccably maintained. It was a pleasure working with you both and I thank you again for placing your trust and confidence in me. Wishing you all the very best as you open a new chapter of your lives!
Marion has helped us with various properties and is always resourceful, responsive, and resilient in her services. Truly a joy. Thank you Marion, always. Another one soon again: we’ll be in touch. - Brian & Virginia
Reply: Always happy to help with your real estate needs Brian and Virginia. I truly appreciate your trust and confidence in my ability to get the job done! Looking forward to the next one!
Marion was amazing! She worked very hard and was always available for all our questions and concerns. She was very professional but also very personal in a thoughtful caring way. Her advice on what our listing price should be was spot on! We got well over our asking price and we’re pleasantly surprised! Marion took such good care of us! I would recommend her hands down! Thank you Marion! - Mandy Fortune
Reply: Thanks Mandy and Tom! Your hard work prepping your home for sale definitely paid off. Now to put your feet up and relax in your fabulous new home! Looking forward to visiting with you next week.
Marion was referred to me by my selling agent in Grey County and I will be forever grateful. Marion was professional and caring from day one. I moved to Hamilton to be closer to my family due to the sudden death of my wife and Marion treated me with such care and respect, I'll never forget it. From the beginning I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, but Marion made sure that I saw all the options out there. When it came to purchasing my property, she did all the leg work and all I had to do was sign a few papers. I would highly recommend Marion to anyone who is buying or selling real estate, she truly is a gem. - Jackie Shields
Reply: Thanks very much for the lovely comments Jackie. You were a pleasure to work with and I'm glad we were able to find a suitable home for you close to your family. It's important to me that I not loose sight of the life transition my clients are going through while they make a real estate transaction. Making the transition paramount, the rest unfolds as it's meant to be. I look forward to visiting with you in your new home soon!
Alison and I went into the housing market looking to buy our first home at probably the worst time in Ontario’s real estate history. Bidding wars were the norm, and asking prices were set strategically to simply to create them. Marion was always available to take us to home, after home. No questions asked, she made herself available. Which is exactly what needs to happen in a market as hot as the one we were in. Eventually after losing bids, and seeing homes go for thousands over asking we were ready to give up. Marion was always the first to say, “be patient the right one will come along.” Well it finally did and Marion helped us investigate some legal questions we had surrounding the property, the bidding process, the paper work to get the deal done, and here we are! Thanks Marion! - James Reddin
Reply: Alison and James - so happy to see that your new home is perfect for you. And even better still - in the neighbourhood you wanted to be in. I know your journey was trying for you and so glad you stuck it out!
Marion helped lease my condo. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. Went out of her way to stage the condo prior to listing. Marion was able to get the condo leased within 3 days of listing it on the market. - Saliha Ayub
Reply: Thanks Saliha. I was thrilled that you were able to secure such great tenants in short order!
I am the POA for an elderly woman who had compromised health and needed to sell her home of over 50 years and move to a retirement home in a short period of time. Marion treated my friend with incredible respect, compassion and unlimited patience. Marion was particularly helpful to me as POA and walked me through the various things I was responsible for and told me how to go about getting them done and as a result nothing was missed and everything went smoothly. She is a font of knowledge!! I certainly could not have done it without her guidance. She was always available and easy to reach and made a very trying time easier for both of us!! - Monica Maguire
Reply: I was honoured to have the opportunity to help with the sale of the property and glad I could contribute to the process you were going through. All's well that ends well! Thanks for your trust and confidence in me!
Marion is truly a devoted agent. Knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced and patient are just a few attributes that come to mind. She handled everything with incredible professionalism and caring. Would definitely recommend her to anyone especially a.senior as she excels in her experience with this specific clientele. - Deb Szczygielski
Reply: Thanks for the very kind words Deb. It was a pleasure working with you and your mom and knowing your mom in a safe, secure environment now makes it doubly rewarding!
Marion was introduced to us through a mutual friend. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and to listen to her recommendations. Not fully understanding the market conditions at the time, her guidance certainly guaranteed a much better offer than we could have anticipated with a closing date most suitable for our need. - Andrew Ramsz
Reply: Thanks Andy. You and Olga were great to work with. Only wish that Chris had connected us sooner. We then would have have been friends that much earlier!
Marion is very professional and she responds quick with all our questions and concerns. As a first time home buyer, she was so accommodating and very patient with us and walked us through the whole process well. We highly recommend her. - Liz
Reply: It's always a treat to work with clients who are referred to me through past clients and immediately I know I'm working with great folks like you and Eric. So happy that we were able to find you a home that you can call your own and make tons or wonderful memories in. Thanks for your trust and confidence!
Marion was wonderful with my parents - patient, knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind. She made the whole selling process seamless, and we were so happy with her services. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home! - Lorraine Bell
Reply: Thanks Lorraine. I remember the day that I first met you and Rob. I knew right away that your primary concern was your parents well being and that my past experience and training working with folks like them would be the perfect fit. So glad you chose me!
Marion provided us with market research information for many months before we were able to take action and list our property. She was always available to accompany us on our search for a condo — we needed to know what was available before we listed our home. Always in good humour — always professional. - Carol Kalbfleich
Reply: Thanks Carol. I often find that my clients path to a new home changes along the way. What was initially thought to be the way forward becomes less desirable and feasible. My job is to help my clients make the best decisions possible and whatever time it takes - I'll be there offering as much info, resources and services I can. Your new home is fabulous and well worth the wait!
Marion did a great job for us. She provided great info on the whole sale process, including timing and pricing. Marion worked hard to get the highest price for our sale and was successful. - Michael Dudar
Reply: Thanks Michael. Not all transactions are cut and dry (actually few are) and with the circumstances you were faced with I appreciated having the opportunity to be by your side and guide you along your journey.
Had a great experience with Marion. It was a long process of many failed offers, but once we found the house that was perfect for us, she worked hard to ensure we got the best deal possible. And when the time came, sold our house within weeks of being put on the market! - Elyse P
Reply: Thanks Elyse. You got that right! A long journey for sure and lots of miles travelled. What's important is that you and Nick landed in the best possible spot for you and your now growing family.
Marion is a very reliable professional. She provided us with a lot of updates and research. The staging she did for our house was great. She was very committed to living up to our expectations. The best agent we ever worked with. - Guy M
Reply: Thanks for the accolades Guy. You were great to work with as well and happy that we were able to find the best solution for you, both in buying and selling your homes.
Marion's knowledge of the area market, and her long-term, non-invasive contact left us with no question of who to call when we decided to sell. Her professional approach to our needs and concerns confirmed our beliefs. The fact that she sold the property within days (even before the sign went up) just added to a rather enjoyable experience. Thanks for everything, Marion. - Harve cole
Reply: My pleasure Harve! The sale of your home goes into my 'fast' file.' Glad to have been able to put you in a position to act quickly on the purchase of a new home in another province and on your way to open a new chapter of your lives.
Marion is a straight shooter. Only took me to see properties I was interested she has a very keen eye for deficiencies that I overlooked. I will gladly call her the next time I'm in need for a sale, purchase or rental. - Kenn Grant
Reply: Thanks Kenn - appreciate your confidence in me - as well as your referrals! Looking forward to helping you again with your future real estate needs.
Marion is especially good at all aspects of the real estate game. from using her knowledge of trades people to finish off the necessary items that enable one to sell their properties in the most advantageous way and at the least costly manner. - Ralph Weiler
Reply: Thanks for the positive feedback. Sometimes real estate transactions are bitter-sweet and I'm thankful to have been the agent you chose to help you through a difficult transition.
Marion did her research and presented a compelling case and recommendation for our listing price and strategy. She then worked with us to eliminate any buyer objections and present our home for sale in the best possible light. - Nicole Yeomans
Reply: Another transaction added to my 'quick' file. As you know now my approach is always collaborative and it was great working together with you to find appropriate solutions that would make your property show in it's best possible light to find the perfect buyer. We did it! Thanks for your trust and confidence!
Marion is a good listener and pays attention to every detail of what we are looking for. She made sure that our interest comes first when reviewing options. She made sure that she gives the best possible service through out the whole process. - Barnet
Reply: Thanks for the positive review Barnet. You're now in a great home with plenty of space for your family. Buying and selling a home often comes with lots of ups and downs and you had your share but so happy to now that all of that is behind you now.
Marion has helped us twice, we've referred her to our friends. She's incredibly professional and found us what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to refer her. She listens to what you are asking for.. And over delivers. - Jake Mohammad
Reply: Thanks Jake! The best part is seeing you so happy after each move! I also appreciate the referrals - that's one of the best reviews anyone could ask for.
I first met Marion Goard when I attended an Open House she was hosting. My husband and I were looking for a home for my in-laws. She was knowledgeable about the market. She was patient with our questions and concerns. She was professional in every interaction, and she found my in-laws the perfect home. The neighbourhood offered them new friends, places to walk, and it had everything they needed - shopping and entertainment. Marion maintained a connection with my in-laws and was always available for questions and help. When the time came to sell the house we again sought Marion's expertise. She had several excellent recommendations about getting the house ready and her staging helped my mother-in-law sell within days. We were grateful for her attention to detail, kindness, expertise, knowledge, flexibility, patience and care. I would highly recommend Marion Goard for all your real estate needs. Marion also worked hard to find my daughter and son-in-law their first home. - Kelly Shepherd
Reply: Thanks for the very kind words. It's been a pleasure working with you over the years and getting to know you and your family better. The last transaction was another one of those 'bitter-sweet' ones but I appreciate that you trusted me with such an important transaction.
Marion provided the knowledge and advice that was needed to list and sell my home in "record time" without any hassles whatsoever. All Documentation was looked after and closure went as smoothly as anyone could wish for. ReMax should be proud to be represented my this professional lady. - Jack Arno
Reply: Sold in record time and under very unique circumstances! Very happy that everything worked out so well for you!
Marion was very professional, and so patient with us. When we thought we weren't going to get what we were after, she was so reassuring. Always a quick knowledgeable response to any queries. - Carol Fitzroy
Reply: Have to say that your journey was like no other, with challenge after challenge that was out of your control. Thanks for sticking with me. One of the best part of my job is letting my clients know their offer was accepted and seeing the smiles on your faces is so very rewarding for me.

I can’t say enough about the level of care and the time Marion provided. I do believe she went beyond what a real estate agent would normally do. I have heard this from other friends who have used her either for themselves or their family. - Lourdes Jimenez
Reply: I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to help you sell your home Lourdes. Thank you for entrusting me with this. Now one less thing for you to worry about as you look forward to new beginnings!
We were looking for a rental property in the Burlington area. We found a property we were interested in and our friends who had used Marion’s services just a few months prior suggested we get in touch. Marion was amazing. So professional and approachable. She contacted the agent representing the landlord that afternoon and was able to secure us a viewing right away. As we had never rented a house, she was great with ensuring we had all the information we needed, paperwork was smooth on her end and we were approved within a couple of days. We got our keys on December 1 and Marion was there when we met the landlord to handle any questions. I would highly recommend Marion to anyone looking for a professional agent who truly cares for her clients and their needs. - Marion Kendall
Reply: It was meant to be Marion! And you know what - you're going to love Burlington! Looking forward to visiting with you in your new home. Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything I can do to help sourcing services/suppliers in Burlington.
Marion was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. We spent close to a year looking at different listings in various areas and in different price ranges. She did an excellent job and is highly recommended. - Shirley Burton
Reply: Thank you Shirley! Making a move is never easy particularly when it's from a home that you've lived in for 40+ years. I'm glad that you our time together was productive and wish you all the best in the years ahead!
Marion was wonderful to work with. She is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her services for any of your real estate needs. Thanks again for your efforts, Marion! - Steve
Reply: My pleasure Steve. Being able to find a suitable property for you in such short order was a bonus! Glad it all worked out for the best for you.
We have used Marion multiple times to buy and sell our properties and each time we have had a successful transaction. With our most recent sale, it was very important to price our property accurately as we were under a time constraint. After evaluations of comparable properties and staging the home, the sale exceeded our expectations both in time it took to receive multiple offers and our closing price. As we were relocating to a new Country, Marion referred us to an agent in the local market that allowed us to purchase a new home fairly easily and made the process as smooth as possible. - Adam Berti
Reply: Adam - not everyone decides to make a move to a different country during a pandemic. So glad that you're finally settled and that I had the opportunity to part of your journey. Working with a global company and knowing that you were in good hands in the US was as reassuring to me as it was to you. All the best in your new home in a new land!
Marion was a pleasure to deal with, and helped me get the house for less than asking! which was a total bonus for me! She was dedicated in ensuring that everything was looked after, and nothing left to chance when it came to the purchase of my new home! - Ellen McWhinnie
Reply: It was a pleasure working with you as well Ellen and I'm thrilled that your new home is working out so well for you! Another new chapter begins!
Marion was outstanding to work with. I interviewed two other agents prior to choosing to list with Marion. I was immediately impressed with her. She was well prepared for our initial meeting and was extremely responsive to all of my inquiries. She kept me up to date on showings and feedback. I would recommend her to anyone. - Susan Brown
Reply: Susan - thanks so very much for the positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to having the opportunity to do so again in the future,
It was a pleasure working with Marion. It wasn’t easy during Covid times but she managed to be resourceful. She was quick to respond, understood our needs and was able to find us our forever in Oakville home. - Brenda Penna
Reply: Pleasure working with you as well Brenda and Steve. It's great to see you settling in so well and loving your new 'forever' home in Oakville. Thanks also for referring your good friends to me. I truly appreciate your trust and confidence!
We took a long time to make a selection and Marion stuck with us all the way. Due to COVID there were not very many listings but Marion was very patient and kept us up to date with new listings and showings - Ron Dewar
Reply: I recognize that moves like your are more than simple real-estate transactions, their life transitions. It's important to make good decisions - sometimes these can be made quickly, other times not. There's now way I was going to bail on you. Thanks for sticking it out with me!
It was a wonderful experience working with a true real estate professional. She made both the selling of my condo and the purchase of my new home in Port Dover a pleasant experience. I was delighted with the sale and selling price . I would strongly recommend Marion for all residential sales or purchases and she had a true understanding of us seniors. - Jerry Woloschuk
Reply: Thanks for the positive feedback. It's rewarding to know that you're happy in your new home and pleased with the outcome of my efforts. Pleasure to have had a role in your transition!
