I just wanted to be in touch and say thanks for everything you do
for the people you encounter. I still enjoy receiving the information and
opportunities you send our way in the mail. I was just looking at the
Home and Garden show passes you sent us, went on your site to look at some
of your listings. I
enjoyed checking some of the videos.
Thank you

My wife and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Hamre Team for finding us our dream home. We engaged Steve Hamre early in 2011 to find our family a home on a quiet street for our two children to play without worries, a good size lot, ravine if possible and with 4 bedrooms. We are happy to say that they found us everything we looking for and well within our budget. We were very pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail from both Steve Hamre and Shirley Hamre. As this was such a positive experience, I have recommended the Hamre Team to many of my friends and they have all been very successful in finding the right home for their families. Both Julie and I would like to personally thank Steve and Shirley for their hard work and dedication to our family and enabling us to find our dream home.
Thank you Hamre
team!!!

We were very fortunate to have found our dream home with such ease, in no small part due to the efforts of Steve and his staff... Moving into the Springridge community has truly been a wonderful experience for our entire family, and it became quickly evident why this area is so sought after! Thanks again to the entire Hamre team!

Thank You to the Hamre Team for going above and beyond in helping my family find a new home. Steve was involved more than is normal in all of the little things, (from financing, inspecting the home, sharing your wisdom etc). I am pleased that I recommended your team to help out my neice & nephew and knew from my own personal experience that the Hamre's would make sure they were taken care of. Look forward to dealing with the Hamre Team in the future and will continue to recommend your team.
Stacey M - Past Referral Client
After a frustrating experience with another real estate company, Greg quickly understood our relocation circumstances and needs. He was able to find just what we needed and understood our comfort requirements. Being totally new to the area, it was helpful to have a reliable source of good contacts for legal and renovations purposes. Sean Cassidy installed a 3 season sunroom on the back. We are really excited about our new home and the community. Thanks to the Hamre Team at RE/MAX. You work well together. We feel very comfortable in recommend you to our friends and family.

Typically I have not enjoyed the realtor experience, but I have to say dealing with Greg and the Hamre Team was a pleasant surprise. You came highly recommended and I felt you delivered on your word. The house sold quickly and for more money that I was counting on. I will keep you in mind if anything else ever comes up in Ottawa.

We met a lot of real estate agents in the search for our next home. When we met Greg Hamre both my husband and I felt a relaxed level of comfort and assurance that we had found the agent that we wanted to work with. The Hamre Team’s approach was different, more professional and they listened to us. It was simply about us and our lifestyle need. These guys get it. They reacted quickly to our every request and followed through with every detail. Thank you so much for everything the Hamre team has done for us. It was a pleasure working with you. A special thanks to Karen as well. We will certainly recommend Greg and the Hamre team to our friends and colleges.

"We were fortunate to deal with the founder of the Hamre Team -Shirley Hamre- in 1987 when we relocated to Ottawa from Winnipeg. After raising a family and an enjoyable twenty four years living in Convent Glen, we decided to simply our lifestyle. Sue and I knew who to contact when we decided to downsize and relocate-the Hamre Team. Throughout the listing period Greg Hamre displayed professionalism, energy and passion. His ability to utilize innovative marketing techniques which aided in promoting our property to a vaste interactive community. We will not hestitate to recommend the Hamre Team to individuals in Southwestern Ontario who look to move to the National Capital. In conclusion, our sincere appreciation and thanks to Greg Hamre and the Hamre Team (including the Founder!) for making this emotional and stressful time a rewarding experience! The loop has come full cirlcle and is now closed.

Greg is a fantastic listener. He knew the situation of the sale and was on my side. I never felt “rushed” or “pressured” to make a decision on the spot. I would highly recommend the Hamre Team a 1000% to anyone buying or selling! Everything went smoothly and in a professional and friendly way. Thanks to Karen too, our client care representative – She was of great support and communicated very well with our every request.

After four years, we want you to know that we are still so pleased with our home and are glad that you helped us secure it. Thank you so much for the Home Show tickets!

Just a few words Greg to let you know that dealing with you and your team was a real pleasure. It's not often you meet a realtor who has his client's best interest at heart. From the moment you walked in - to the moment the sale was finalized your professionalism was flawless! We greatly appreciate the role you played in selling our property on its first day of showings! Awesome! We are proud to have your SOLD sign on our property and hope many more listings will come your way because of it. Thanks a million!

Selling one's home has great emotional, as well as, financial significance. I chose Greg Hamre as my agent because of his passion for his profession, his deep knowledge of the market, his innovative use of the internet and video, and most of all because he would be personally involved. It was a very smart decision on my part. Greg and his team provided me truly excellent service.

M. Seaver
I just wanted to say thank you for both the 67’s tickets and the Christmas wreath. The wreath was especially appreciated. You probably do not remember but when I moved in here Dec 2004, you had put a wreath like that on my kitchen counter so when I arrived it was there waiting for me. It was a very difficult time for me and Nathan my son and that wreath just said welcome when I needed it. I refer all my Friends and Family to the Hamre Team.

S & J Reiber – PURCHASED a stunning home in Constance Bay - Referred by a Realtor in London
We just wanted to express to you how great it was to have you as our agent and how much of an advantage it was to have you and your team in our corner. Your knowledge of the Ottawa area and your instincts are just remarkable! You were relentless in your search to find us ‘our home’. And your keen eye and experience was instrumental in helping us avoid paying TENS of thousands more than we had to. We were equally impressed when it came time to sell our property. Your hard work and extensive network made sure that our listing was viewed by as many people as possible and generated offers within the first 24 hours! We are still blown away by the final selling price – a full 15% over any unit that has ever sold in our building! Through it all, you made sure that our needs were put above everything else. We’re so glad we had the _Team HAMRE Advantage_ on our side!

Phil & Rhonda - Relocation from Victoria, BC
John and I just wanted to send the Hamre Team a big thank you for all you did for us during the selling process of our home. As I mentioned last week, we have bought and sold about 6 homes during our married life together. Consistently they have been bad experiences, due in large part to realtors who didn't know the market, didn't understand our needs and, to be blunt, were in it for the money. We wanted to thank you for being so different than the rest of them!
Your Team was professional and you know this market better than anybody we could have imagined. We constantly felt that you were in our corner, doing your best for us always. We really appreciated the fact that you always followed up with us after showings, gave us feedback and always offered encouragement. Selling a house with four small children is not easy, but you took away a lot of the anxiety and made this a very pleasant experience. If we could, we would buy and sell every house with you! Thanks again, you were incredible!
John and Nicki - Purchased and Sold with the Hamre Team - Stunning new home in Stone Bridge!
Your professionalism and expertise has made our home buying experience wonderful. You truly surpassed our expectations! We were concerned that our tight time-lines for buying would not facilitate finding a home. However, with your help we found and purchased our home with 36 hours! We will recommend you to all our friends. Thanks again!
Warren & Debbie- Relocation from Colorado Springs - Purchased a dream home in Navan
I just wanted to thank you for coming all the way to Calgary to speak at Ken Eddy’s "Mastermind Style" seminar. It was a thrill to hear someone so enthusiastic about their business. It shows that you can love what you do and do it well. I’ve come back to Edmonton excited about technology and not as scared. Thanks for sharing your great marketing ideas.
Christine C. - Realtor in Edmonton Alberta
Thanks so much for speaking at the seminar in Calgary this March. I definitely look at things differently now that I’ve heard from you and the other guys! I really enjoyed the technology aspect of your presentation and how your team drives business through your web site to your listings. Your teams exposure is awesome.
Harry M. – Realtor in Calgary, Alberta
I was at the Remax & You conference in Missisauga in February 2010 and listened to you speak on the panel. Of all the panelists from Trading Secrets, your team really stood out. I would really like to follow your lead in respect to how I practice real estate going forward. I just wanted thank you for your insight. I really enjoyed your passion for the business.
Nick M. - Realtor in Southern Ontario
We would recommend the Hamre Team to anyone looking to purchase a new home or investment property. They always go that extra mile for their clients. Their experience in the Ottawa market is second to none. They always has that great "bit" of advice to ensure you get the house you want at the right price.
Tanya and Mark - Relocation from Australia - Purchased New Style Executive home in Avalon
We'd recommend the Hamre Team very highly for your friends and family whom ever needs to buy a house or want a sell a house. They are the best out there with no doubt. A specially for Military postings, as you know we've got no time to waste.
H & A COBAN - Relocation from Victoria - Purchased a very nice home backing onto the golf coarse in Manotick
The Hamre Team explained the various tools that they would use to market our property which made us quite confident that our house would sell very quickly. A simple Google Search of our address immediately came back with many different websites with the details of our house displayed. We had a conditional sale within 72 hours of listing our house with the Hamre Team. Our Neighbour's listed their home for sale two days before us and for less money. It is still for sale.
Jason & Julie - Moving up in Ottawa - Their listing sold quickly and for top dollar.
My wife arranged to purchase 690 Mathieu Way this week and the extra information you provided about this listing through YouTube and other sources made it easier for me to participate in the decision to offer on the property from my remote perch in Nova Scotia. I love to see intelligent innovation in real estate. Creative agents like those on your team are making the whole experience of buying a house less stressful, more informative and more interesting.
