Colonel ( ret'd) John and Doreen Marteinson, Royal Military College, Kingston

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were intimidated and overwhelmed by the process. Your knowledge of the real estate market was instrumental in both finding and purchasing our home. Despite our compressed time schedule throughout, you were always approachable and made yourself available to suit our needs. As a former military service member, you were a definite asset in understanding our family’s unique housing needs. We would not hesitate to use your services in the future and will recommend you to others.

This letter is to thank Doug Blackstock and his assistant Maureen for the time and effort they put into my real estate purchase. I recently bought a house, with Doug as my acting agent and I couldn’t have asked for better service. I was a first time home buyer and therefore didn’t know the industry all that well. Doug was extremely patient and helpful, showing me well over 20 homes during my search.. He gave me advise on all the small details regarding buying a new home, that I would never have known on my own. His advise and caring demeanor went above and beyond the call of duty. I have and will recommend Doug’s services to friends and family for their future real estate needs. If and when I leave my current home, I would not hesitate to call upon Doug and Maureen for their services once again. After hearing several horror stories from people having poor experiences with real estate agents, I consider myself extremely lucky to have worked with Doug and Maureen.

We thank you so much for what you did for us. When we called you, we were desperate, but you took things in consideration so fast that we felt relieved. Your way of being so active, really helped and you gave us a hand finding the house that we needed so much for that certain date, and in just a few days everything was possible. We admire you for being so prompt, and for sure in the future we will remember you, so once again you can do your good work for us. Thanks

Jose and Odete Arruda, Kingston

Over the past three years, you have helped me sell two homes (one in the city and one in another town) and to buy one home in the local area. Because of your professionalism and desire to help others, I feel I couldn’t have chosen a better agent. You devoted many hours to my cause and for this I say thank you, with a great deal of gratitude. I trust your future will be happy in the field you have chosen. Thanks again and my God bless.

Connie Wilson, Kingston

Just a quick note to thank you again for the great job you did for us on our recently-completed transaction. You came well recommended by lawyer Doug Slack and we were impressed with your level of professionalism and enthusiasm. You kept us well informed throughout the process even though I am in Montreal and you are in Kingston. Although the process was quite a distance from the center of Kingston, your hard work and diligence resulted in your finding just the right buyer. Receiving regular updates on your progress, including fax copies of advertising that you had done on our behalf and promotional material you created and distributed to other agents, made us feel that you were actively, and consistently, making every effort to sell the property. Probably the most important thing to us in this transaction was the fact that we feel that both Buyer and Seller were treated fairly, and negotiations were handled professionally. Once again, thank you for the effort you put in on our behalf. We appreciate your way of interacting with clients that is friendly and makes one feel totally at ease and confident. It would be our pleasure to refer other potential clients in the future.

Glen and Suzanne Pike, Nesbit Burns Ltd., Montreal

Doug Blackstock was recommended to us by one of his previous clients. We found him to be very personable, professional and efficient. Doug kept us up to date with the progress of our sale via email and telephone messages. Our house was sold only four days after we listed it with Doug. He offered his expertise when negotiating time arose and assisted us in securing a selling price, very close to the asking price of our home. We highly recommend Doug to anyone contemplating selling his or her home, as we feel he is a very conscientious, competent agent.

I have sold and purchased many properties over the last 35 years and I have never had as positive an experience with a real estate agent than the one I had with you. You located a Buyer and consummated the sale before the property was even listed and for the price I wanted. Thanks so much!

Steven A. Macintyre, Dulles, Virginia

Over a three-month period, Doug Blackstock worked with us on the sale of two separate properties and the purchase of one. He proved to be very knowledgeable about the real estate market and made himself available to us at all hours. We were very pleased with the assistance he afforded us and we were completely satisfied.
