Client : Blair & Linda Gilmour
Thank you for your expertise, your experience and your patience as we made our way through selling our home! If we ever get the nerve to do this again, we’ll definitely give you a call.
Client : Rosemary Legris
I want you to know that I am very, very happy about this purchase. You said to me several times, that when one ultimately finds the “right” home, one would feel excited and happy with the purchase. I feel exactly that way. It may have taken a long time, but it is the right place. I have no regrets. Thank you again for all you did to assist me.
Client : Scott Fargey
I am writing to thank you for your professionalism and expertise in the sale of 9 Harjolyn Drive.
Your professional staff made the procedure very simple and easy. After meeting with you I had no concerns whatsoever in the leaving the entire matter in your hands.
In all the level of service provided was professional and outstanding and my trust was rewarded. I would have no hesitation in referring them to family or friend without hesitation.
Clients : Na Liu & Rui Fu
We would like to thank both of you for your valuable help in selling our house.
It has been a long process and both of you have been very patient with us. We were amazed that just in the past two months you were able to bring over 50 showings for our house. As a result of your strong efforts, deep connection, and accurate market sense, we were able to make the right decisions on our house. We have to admit that your sense of valuation has proved to be superior. Through the process we see true professionalism of the real estate industry.
We would highly recommend the Christensen Team to the home buyers/sellers that we know.
Clients : Barbara Wunder
I would absolutely recommend you and already have. Everything was great and I appreciate the great service.
Clients : Nadia and Peter Ostapchuk

Clients : Luan & Albana Xhaferri
We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the hard work that you and your office has done in the process of selling our home. The honesty and dedication that you put into the sale is not simply business, but you also look from the seller's perspective too. Doing that helped us to weigh our options resulting to a very good decision, backed up with your honest opinion and hopefully with other opportuinities down the road.
Thank you to you and your great team, keep up the great work and the well earned reputation.
We wish you a great year ahead and definately look forward to future opportunities in doing business with you.
Clients : Robin and Peter Mitanis
Peter and I would like to thank you both very much for all your hard work in regards to the selling of our family home in Etobicoke. My family had owned this home since 1953 and you both made it less stressful when the time came for us to sell. We appreciated the honesty on what improvements were needed or not needed. We really liked all the open houses you had and all the feedback you gave us after each open house. My husband, during this time, told all the neighbours you are the team to use if they ever decide to sell their homes. Also, if my husband and I were ever to consider moving back to Etobicoke we would definitely call on the Christensen Team. Also we would like to thank Natasha for all her hard work in regards to helping us find a home. We looked at a lot of houses and we finally found the home we were looking for.
Client : Denis Cantin
Thank you for a job well done, your services and results exceeded our expectations. Your guidance, support, experience throughout the selling process and knowledge of the local market made the sal of our home a smooth and efficient transaction.
Your detailed marketing plan was a critical factor in helping us establish a fair and competitive market price delivering a successful offer within one week.
We will definitely refer your services to friends and family.
Client : Doug King
I was extremely pleased with your services. I found your staff very punctual and professional. In my business, punctuality and saying what you mean is paramount. I know my mother's house basically sold in a day but this does not diminish the hard work and preparation you all did over the previous weeks and months.
Thanks again and I look forward to future dealings.
I have already recommended you to friends and will continue to.
Client : Jory & Paula Platt
Thanks so much for helping us find our new home. We appreciate all of your guidance and efforts to find us a great home! We are really happy with our purchase and have enjoyed making it our own. We will be sure to refer to you any friends looking to purchase a home.
Client : Zoran & Aleksandra Perusina
We had very good experience with Anna, member of the Christensen team, in the process of selling our home. Everything went smooth and without any problems. We highly recommend the team to anybody seeking or selling home!
Job well done!
Client : Trent & Melanie Howard
It has been over two months since our move and I apologize that it has taken me this long to sit down to write this letter of appreciation.
From the day of our first meeting, we knew it would be a pleasure to work with you to sell our home. You were able to assist with all the details in quickly getting our house into top selling condition. We never knew how beautiful our place could look until it was transformed. From fireplace cleaning, to painting, to staging and all the little touches in between, we were able to be on the MLS within days! Our fear had been that it would be a long listing because of the market conditions at that time, but somehow you were able to bring us three offers ahead of our offer acceptance date. Everything went so smoothly and we want you to know how very much we appreciated that.
Then we had to find a home to move into! We were happy that you were able to refer us to an agent in Oakville, which was our first preference. However, when it became clear that we wouldn't be able to find the “perfect home” in Oakville for a summer move, you were able to step in and find “the” house for us in Mississauga. Your professional approach, honesty and understanding made all the difference to us on closing the deal.
Should anyone we know ask us our opinion when buying or selling a home, we will proud to recommend they give you a call first.
Client : Rob Landry & Lori Bak
Lori and I just wanted to thank you once again for the fantastic service that you provided us during our recent home purchase. The care you took to truly understand our needs and interests, even when we hadn't fully figured them out ourselves, was a great contributor to the positive outcome.
Through the process, there were definitely ups and downs for Lori and I, but you and Niels provided us with a balanced perspective and the benefit of your market experience, ultimately, protecting us from our own eagerness at times.
From a customer perspective, your attention to detail and the attention you gave Lori and I personally made a stressful situation enjoyable (or at least less stressful).
We also felt that the different skill sets that you and Niels brought to the table provided a good balance and a comprehensive approach to acting on our behalf.
We started the endeavor off as a business relationship, but Lori and are now happy to call you and Niels friends.
Thanks again, and best regards.
Client : Anne Anderson
This is a note to thank you for your help in both the purchase of my new home and the sale of my current one! Your attention to every detail in the presentation of my house, coupled with a solid marketing plan that you exectued flawlessly proved to be a winning combination.
I appreciated the 'tag team' approach, with you Doris focused on showing potential properties, and Niels, facilitating the negotiation process. Clearly this is a difficult time in the world of real estate - I am so glad I retained your services to help me naviate through the choppy waters.
As I drive by 'for sale' signs in my neighbourhood, it is tempting to drop in and offer the homeowner one of your business cards.
Count on me to refer friends to you if they are contemplating buying or selling a house.
Client : William Neill
On behalf of Mom and the rest of the family I would like to thank you, Niels and Doris for all your hard work. Everything was done on a very professional, informative and friendly basis and we were very pleased with the results
Client : Anne Anderson
I am so happy at how things worked out re negotiating my new property. Many, many thanks for your hard work. Clearly you are a fine tuned team…and I have a few extra bucks in my pocket as a result! It was comforting throughout the buying process to feel my needs were top of mind, and that I was in excellent hands. Thanks for hanging tough Niels.
Client : John & Sue Hillery
We'd like to thank you for the terrific job you both did in the sale of our house (while we were in Australia!) and the purchase of our condo (again, while we were in Australia!). You made the whole process straight forward and pain-free and we couldn't be happier with the job you did for us.
Client : Pino & Janice Iannetti
Regarding the sale of our home, Janice and I thought the service was excellent. We feel the pricing of the home was pretty much bang on, the marketing of the home including the materials and staging was very good, the timing to market was very good (i.e. very tricky with spring break and Easter coming up) and the responsiveness to all our questions or suggestions was very quick. We just had our home listed last fall with your major competitor and in our opinion they failed in comparison. Excellent job and will DEFINITELY recommend you to our family and friends.
Client : Mike Serba Memorial Golf Tournament
Thank you for your tremendous support for our inaugural golf tournament in memory of Mike.
With your generosity we were able to make a significant contribution to Sick Kids Foundation in aid of Research.
Your help keeps Mike's memory alive and creates something positive from a tragic situation.
Sincerely,
Jim Serba
Client : Ruth and Bruce Stewart
Your services have been excellent.
We would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to you and have already done so with talking with neighbours and other friends!
Client : Domenic & Tina Ruso
Writing this letter was a lot better than cleaning out the garage on a cold and snowy February day.
We want you to rest assured that we “saw the difference” working with you. We always felt that you had the best interests of our family in mind as we worked through the process of finding our dream home.
Your expertise and knowledge gave us the confidence to continue on the buying process when at times it seemed discouraging.
You always treated us with the utmost respect and that was a key to building a trust between us.
Just as Doris advised when we started this process nearly two years ago, we would “know” when we found the “right” home. And she was right, we knew. Her expertise and knowledge was invaluable in insuring we were successful in obtaining our home.
Without a doubt, we would not hesitate to refer our family friends to you.
Wishing you continued success in making other families' dreams come true.
Client : Shona Milligan
Thank you for your assistance in finding my new home.
Doris encouraged me to see at least 6 or 8 more condos before putting in an offer. Thank you for that - it did reinforce my choice and also the shift in my change of priorities I had set for myself.
I never felt pressured; you both answered questions and explained areas I was naïve in.
Please know that I have already spoken highly about your services and shared your business number with others.
Client : Gillian & Andre Dugas
First of all, please accept Gillian and my wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. But, most of all, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your valuable assistance in not only helping us find our new home in Etobicoke but, also for helping us sell our home in Ottawa, albeit indirectly. After many years living abroad while serving with the Foreign Service, we had lost our familiarity with real estate agents in Ottawa and we turned to you for a recommendation. You responded immediately and as a result we were provided with the assistance of an excellent broker and were able to sell our home within a week.
More importantly were the professional services you provided here which not only helped us find the perfect house but as a result of your aggressive negotiations, we were able to purchase the house at an amount below the asking price. Throughout the process of searching for a home, identifying prospects, negotiating and closing the deal, your approach has been highly professional but generously laced with empathy and kindness. Your assessment of prospective houses was always honest and informative and we never felt that we were not seeing the type and quality of houses we were searching for. You were always available to view houses and went out of your way to search for prospective homes. At the end of the day, we felt that we had cemented a solid bond both professionally and personally.
Again, Gillian and I wish to thank you and would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone else.
Client Robin Thoen
I would like to thank you both for the wonderful service you provided me for searching for my new home. Doris was very persistent in her efforts to find me exactly what I was looking for. That was no easy feat as I was quite demanding.
I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone I know who is looking for real estate.
I will also use your services in the next year to sell my current home, after I complete the renovations to the house I recently purchased.
Client : Tom & Joan Chicken
Just wanted to thank you both so much for arranging the sale of our condominium at 2010 Islington I am sure you helped us make the right decision and we shall not regret our move to Niagara-On-The-Lake.
Client : Faye McAfee Michael Cobb
You did a great job for us in helping us to sell our house. Doris' suggestions for maximizing the positive aspects of our home were wonderful, and showcased our home beautifully in your marketing materials, which we found to be quite exceptional. Your web site and client portal are great tools that kept us up to date almost daily on the activities related to the sale of our house. We found you both to be very responsive and sensitive to our needs. It was a pleasure working with you both, and we would not hesitate to recommend your services to our friends and acquaintances. If you ever have the occasion to be in our neighbourhood, please give us a call and stop by for a visit.
Client George Boyd
It is with pleasure that I make reference to the service provided by The Christensen's in the recent sale of my condo unit I chose them for the listing for two reasons: I found them to be very informed about my building and they set a very high standard of service in keeping with their slogan of promising “a difference.” When they visited my home their presentation was professional, thorough in detail, and avoided exaggeration. During the listing period Niels provided me with regular reports in considerable detail, gave advice, and accepted some, all toward a successful and satisfactory sale. In the meantime Doris was contributing in the gentler female way making the Christensen's a very strong team. I have no hesitation whatever in recommending Niels and Doris Christensen to anyone seeking a high standard of performance.
Clients : Marcello Michienzi & Sonia DiGiacomo
On behalf of my wife and myself, thank you so much for helping us find the perfect home. We look forward to moving in and starting our new lives together with our little one on its way. We appreciate all the help, support and the your patience. I will definitely recommend you to others in the future.
Dear Niels and Doris, We could not be happier with your services. We have, after all, asked you to act as our agents in three different transactions over the past year. When we needed to talk things over, one of you was always available and we never felt rushed. We learned a great deal about staging a home when Doris helped us to prepare Renee's mother's house for sale and we believe that Niels' firm approach on that property kept an outstanding deal from falling through. We also believe that Doris appraised our present house appropriately and helped us purchase it for a good price last spring. And finally, your sound advice about making sure that one of our prospective buyers could secure financing before we finalized the sale of Hartfield Road, prevented us from tying the property up during the lucrative fall market and ensured the sale of our home to a more qualified purchaser. In all of these dealings we knew that our agents were ethical people who had the expertise to represent us well and who would take the time to do so properly. We would certainly recommend you to family or friends. Please feel free to use us as references and to include our remarks in your advertising if you wish. We wish you both continued success. "
Renee and Bruce Kerr
"Dear Doris and Niels, We bought our first home with you and when the time came to move, we made the right decision to entrust you again with our second house. The purchase of a new home can be a stressful experience but your relaxed approach, patience, gentle guidance and knowledge of the neighbourhood ensured that we purchased a house that fits our needs. We had eleven offers on the sale of our home and it sold for 110% of the list price, exceeding all of our expectations. We believe that this was a direct result of your expertise, marketing approach and established name in the industry. We will recommend you both without hesitation to our family, friends and colleagues who want to buy/sell their home to its highest potential in a very competitive market. Thank you for a job well done. "
Darlene Broderick & Robert Azuma
"Niels & Doris, Weldon and I want to thank you for all of the help you gave us during the period our house was up for sale. We selected you as our real estate agents for two reason; firstly, we were impressed with your communication and marketing plans and secondly, after meeting with you, we believed that you would work with us in partnership to achieve the objectives and timelines we set out. We were not disappointed. Both of us appreciated the constant support and updates that you provided. You were open, honest, professional and knowledgeable. The assistance you provided enabled us to move forward and deal with decisions that had to be made. You have a great team working with you. We wish you well - and would certainly recommend you to our friends and family. Thanks again! "
Ann Zegarchuk & Weldon Carlyle
"Hello Niels and Doris, Thank you both for the wonderful surprise and gift certificate to dine at Vibo. I very much look forward to enjoying a couple of hours with fine food and company. I would also like to say in closing that I was very pleased with your work associated with the selling of the home and will remain in touch when the time is right to go back into the market for purchase. With best regards. "
Andrea Russell
"Dear Niels and Doris, On behalf of the Lambton-Kingsway School and Parents Association and the “Springfest 2006” Committee, I would like to express our appreciation and extend our sincere thanks for your contribution to this year's “Springfest”. As you are aware, our annual “Springfest” proves to be our school's largest and most successful fundraiser. This year, the money raised from our event will be channelled into our literacy project for all grades, plus equipment for the Music, Math and Phys Ed programs. This year we were also able to share our good fortune with George Gauld Junior Middle School. We donated over 1,000 books to this school in Mimico. On a community level, the event was a tremendous success. Post even comments and feedback from our students all indicate that “Springfest” was a hit and the kids had a great time. Not surprisingly, we received a lot of positive feedback about the much loved “Little Critters” display. Your full sponsorship of this event contributed more than you may realize to the success of the day. Thank you again for your generous donation. "
Corry Haslam, Springfest Chair Lambton-Kingsway School
" Dear Niels & Doris, Regarding the Dinner Dance Fundraising Event. We have just reconciled our numbers for this incredible fundraising event with a net profit of $29,300. The tremendous success of this year's event could not have been possible without your overwhelming generosity. We are now able to fulfill the Humber Valley “Literacy and Mathematics Wish Lists”. All of the funds raised from this event have been allocated towards the purchasing of literature and math materials from kindergarten to Grade 8 by our Principal, Ms. Girdhar. Our children are the winners here; “it takes a village” and we have that “village” here at Humber Valley and its environs. On behalf of the students, and the School Council at Humber Valley Village, we thank you for your generous support. "
Tammy McCarron and Doreen Ng-Bell
" Dear Doris and Niels, Next week, we will be able to move into the house we just purchased with your help. We are very excited that we have bought an ideal house that fits our current needs at a reasonable price. We could not have achieved this without your highly professional help in the past six months. Six months are not a short period of time, and during this period, Doris showed us many houses. For each house visit, Doris did a pre-visit before showing the house to us. She was therefore able to objectively tell us both the positive and negative aspects of each property on the spot. After each visit, we never found that Doris tried to push us into buying anything. In fact, for at least three times, Doris discouraged us from hasty purchases that we might eventually regret - one with an disclosed UFFI issue, one on a busy street, and one with the ``wrong facing`` for us. These experiences won our trust. In our opinion, what Doris has showed to us is the highest integrity and professionalism in the real estate industry. We did not meet with Niels until the last minute when we were ready to submit our offer. However, a strong negotiator, Niels added value in the process by saving us money on the negotiation table. We feel very comfortable referring our friends to both of you. In addition, please feel free to share our feedback with your prospective clients. With Many Thanks and Best Regards. "
Rui Fu and Na Liu
"Dear Doris and Niels, John and I would like to begin by thanking you both for your hard work and patience as we searched for a new home and sold our home. As you probably realized, we needed to ensure that we were making the right decision for us and our family and were willing to wait as long as we needed to, to make that happen. What impressed us the most about both of you, was your willingness to take the time to find the right home. Doris completely understood our needs and many times, she premised a house visit with “I don't think this is the right house for you, but still worth looking at”. This feedback was crucial in our search and reconfirmed that the Christensen's were not simply looking for a sale, but rather looking for a 'home'. The purchase and sale transaction was handled with professionalism. The initial meetings were comfortable and informative; the market assessment report was thorough and the value assigned to our home was 'bang' on. Vanessa did a fantastic job of managing the marketing materials. She was responsive and quick in replying to all of our requests. Niels clearly explained all of the purchase and sale agreements and was helpful in determining and negotiating our selling price. Overall, John and I were very happy with the level of service we were provided and would strongly recommend the Christensen's to all of our family and friends. We look forward to completing the sale of our home with you, and wish you much luck in the future. "
John and Lucy Ieraci
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your generous donation to St. George's Junior School Dance-a-thon. The children had an amazing time and were so excited with all the raffle prizes that they had a chance to win. It was a great success and we exceeded our fundraising goal for this year. The proceeds from our efforts will be used to support and enhance various educational programs in our school. It is through the generosity of sponsors like you that make events like our Dance-a-thon raffle possible. Thanks again, your donation was much appreciated. "
Cathy Cruikshank, St. George`s Junior School
"Thanks for all your help in buying and selling our house. You were top notch all the way. We won`t hesitate to use you again. Thanks so much, and all the best to you in the future. "
Stefania and Ed Koenig
"I just wanted to pass on our thanks to both of you over the way you helped my Mother through this very traumatic experience as she and Dad had lived at the house for over 53 years. The way you developed a marketing plan for the home, the way you handled all the visits and orchestrated the sale; relieved Mom of so many worries and concerns. I want to thank you too for assisting her by getting a number of little things that were done on the house before the home went on the market. Your attention to detail is wonderful. Your gift of the framed photo of Mom's home was truly appreciated; it will be a lasting memento in her new home. If people ask us about working with you, we would heartily endorse the Christensen Approach, as there certainly is a difference in the way you work. "
Barry McCabe
"Darryl and I are pleased with the service that you have provided. You made our selling experience easy. We appreciated the prompt service that came with every call we made to you. We would recommend your services to friends and family. We also look forward to doing business with you again. Thanks again. "
Carmen Hiscocks
"Niels & Doris, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance with the quick sale of our home. Your professionalism, care and honesty have made the entire process an enjoyable one. You kept us informed every step of the way even when you were out of town, this added personal touch put you above the rest. We will be more than happy to recommend your services to our family and friends, once again thank you for your assistance. "
Dong & Trang
"Niels & Doris: Thank you for all your hard work! You were both very professional in all aspects. Doris, your ideas for our home appearence were great. We had no need for a stager. We got the price we wanted in just one week!!! Our experience was great and we would not hesitate to use you again in the near future. We have already recommended you to our friends. "
Anthony & Krysa Arci
"Doris and Niels. Please accept my sincere thanks for representing my mother in the sale of our home. This is the only home our family has known and therefore it was important to me to ensure I had the best team working on the sale to achieve maximum value for my mother. We met with several potential real estate agents and chose your team because you provided a clear marketing strategy to achieve a sale. Every piece of the marketing material you and your team produced was completely professional and definitely a cut above the material I see in the market. This professionalism and your friendly attitude truly make the `Christensen Approach` an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Without a doubt, I would recommend you to friends. Thanks again. "
Jory Platt
"Dear Doris & Niels, I cannot believe I moved into this great house one month ago but here I am and loving it. I have been super happy with the level of service you both have provided, especially since the middle of January until the end of January when Abilene was sold. Wow - what a fast two weeks between buying and selling. You both helped me a lot through the whole scenario and even afterwards with Doris dropping y to offer help and support. I miss your frequent phone calls to help me along the way. I would be very happy to refer a friend or family member to the Christensens to buy or sell. You both go that extra mile to help a client through the transition really appreciate what you have done for me. "
Pat Foy
"Dear Niels & Doris: We are simply delighted with the outcome of our sale and want to let you know how appreciative we are of your expert advice and expertise. It seemed to be the right time for us and everything went smoothly and efficiently. Thank you for making the sale such a simple process. Your help in assisting the process along was essential. We shall be delighted to recommend your services to anyone among our friends who is in the market or about to be. Yours sincerely "
Francis & Joyce Jones
"Dear Niels & Doris: It is with a great deal of appreciation that my wife and I send you this letter in gratitude for the service we have recently received. You have exceeded our expectations by providing us with all the support we required in the process of selling our home. We always felt that we were your most important clients. You did a complete market analysis and provided us with helpful hints to prepare our home for selling, and as a result we had a great deal of interest in our property. We received constant updates and important communications from you, even when we were traveling out of the country. Your written weekly reports assured us that good progress in the marketplace was being made. We were impressed with the degree to which you stood beside us in caring and supportive manner. Niels and Doris, you have demonstrated the highest standards of excellence in your professional practice. You and Doris are a dynamic husband and wife team, each with unique strengths and talents. Together you took time to understand our needs in selling and our dreams in moving to our new home. Your approach is extraordinary. It has truly ``made the difference``. We will not hesitate to recommend you and RE/MAX Professionals. "
Mike & Linda Frederiksen
Dear Niels & Doris: We would like to provide some feedback regarding your recent service to us in selling our condo and purchasing a house. Throughout the process, we felt comfortable dealing with both of you. You provide helpful suggestions and advice that paid off in both selling and buying. We note that on a couple of occasions you worked well into the evening, or on a holiday in order to ensure that we received the best deal possible. It was this kind of dedication that helped our condo sell above the asking price in less than a week, and helped us purchase the right house for us one month later. In your dealings with us, you were both professional and trustworthy. You make a fantastic team, and we could confidently recommend your services to any friend, colleague or family member. "
Corwyn & Irene Rowsell
"Dear Niels & Doris We thought we'd drop you a line to let you know how grateful we are that we chose you to represent us in the selling of our home and in the purchase of another. The first time we met, we were impressed with your down-to-earth and professional approach and, in particular, with your knowledge of the Etobicoke area. Understanding that we were new to Canada, you very patiently explained the technicalities and legalities of buying and selling a home. The marketing and advertising strategy you developed for us worked so incredibly well that we sold our house within 7 days for $21,000 more than asking price - a sterling effort on your part! The frequent updates via phone and e-mail meant that finding and purchasing that perfect home in just the right area went equally as smoothly. To top it all, when we were ready to put in an offer, your negotiation skills saved us $4,000! Please accept our sincere thanks for a job very well done! We speak very highly of you to our family, friends, neighbours and colleagues in our network and recommend your services whenever we have an opportunity. Best wishes for 2005 and beyond! "
Jane and Athol Hall
" Niels & Doris: Thank you for your exemplary service, a crisp professional attitude, and prompt attention to all my wishes and quirks. Best of all and as I have said before, you ALWAYS make even the most complicated issues very clear. Thank you. "
Fridtjof Nolte
"Dear Niels & Doris: Thank you for your service in selling my Dad's home. We realize that the house needed a lot of work and updating, and I know at times I was concerned that there wasn't much action happening, but your confidence that the house would sell helped alleviate my concerns. My Dad's expectations were met and he was pleased with the sale price. We always found you to be honest and up front with us but sensitive about the circumstances at the same time, and we are glad we listened to you and took your advice. One service we really liked was the weekly updates as we felt we were kept informed and involved and we were not lost in the process. Thanks again for your help and service. We would definitely recommend you to others looking to sell their home. "
Pat May, Power of Attorney for Loane Armstrong
"Doris & Niels, Your service was excellent and we would definitely recommend you to others as well as use your services again ourselves if we ever need anything in Toronto. "
Joan & Tim McCarthy
"The Christensen`s superior level of service and expertise surpasses expectations. True neighborhood specialists, Niels and Doris combine an extremely solid understanding of marketing, marketing dynamics, pricing, patience, and negotiating strategies with integrity and a personal touch. They are supportive and involved in every step along the way. We used Niels and Doris to sell our home when we moved away from the neighborhood. When it was time to return to Etobicoke, there was no one else we would consider. Both experiences were tremendously positive and rewarding. We highly recommend the Christensen`s to anyone buying or selling their homes in West Toronto & Etobicoke. "
Brad and Wendy Kubota
"Dear Doris & Niels: Thank you so much for helping to support the 1st Annual St. George's Nursery School Silent Auction. We had a memorable evening as we celebrated the school's 40th anniversary. The Silent Auction was a huge success thanks to you. Your generous donation allowed us to exceed our fundraising goal. We really appreciate when people like you are able to donate and help us to continue to provide an outstanding educational environment for this community. "
Lori Kerrigan - Silent Auction Committee
"We would like to thank you very much for all your help and patience for searching & finding the proper kind of house that we wanted. You are both excellent as business people. You both know exactly what to do. You are a very caring, & you listen to your clients needs to find out exactly what they are looking for. Thanks a million for your special gift. We are happy that we have great friends like you. There is no need to ask if we can introduce you to anyone we know that is looking to buy or sell. We`ll do it regardless because of the superb service we recieved. Best Wishes, "
Younes and Antiga Hadi
"Dear Doris and Niels, Just a few weeks ago we had never met and now we would like to express our boundless gratitude for guiding us step-by-step through the sale of our home in such a short timeframe. We were very impressed with your knowledge of the real estate market, your integrity, your sincerity and your undying sense of humour that kept us in good spirits throughout the process. You were so patient and attentive to our needs that we felt as if we were your only customers, but of course that is not the case. We are sure that if we had talked to some of your other customers they would have felt exactly the same as we do, such is your attention to detail and selfless giving of your time and efforts to each of your customers. You make a great team together professionally and personally and have obviously worked hard to complement each other`s different styles. We are very happy to have been the recipients of your vast knowledge and experience. We will be most happy to recommend the Christensen approach to our friends and neighbours and we wish to thank you both for making us very happy! "
Margaret and Colin Lea
"When it comes to selecting the right real estate agent to help you sell your home, all you need to do is call the Christensen`s. Their professionalism, knowledge of the market and ability to successfully market your property will get you results - fast. Our home was on the market for 9 days. Niels & Doris were able to get 3 offers for us and sold our home for a price which made us extremely happy. We interviewed a number of agents before selecting who we felt was the best one for us, and there is no doubt in our mind that our choice of Niels and Doris was the right one. Thank you for a great job done properly. "

"Dear Doris & Niels, Thank you so much for helping to make the Lloyd Manor Park Carnival a success. I really appreciate Doris taking time out of her busy schedule to come with Evan and volunteer at the Mini Circuit Race track. You have been very kind to me and I want to thank you. "

"We recently had the good fortune to use the services of Doris and Niels Christensen both in buying our new home and selling our old one. We had spent a long time interviewing several agents before settling on Doris and Niels - their patient manner and insightful questions were instrumental in persuading us to choose them - and experience has proved us right. They found a perfect home for us, and I was impressed with Doris' manner and skill during the negotiation. Likewise the sale went through very well. Doris did much more than offer advice on pricing the home - her practical advice and help did much to take away the stress in making the sale. It didn`t end there either - they were able to give us many useful hints and contacts that were of help in the move and setting up house - it was clear that they fully believed in the importance of a long-term relationship. Overall our selection of the Christensen`s as our agent had much to do with the easing of this process, and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Doris and Niels to any friends. "

"Dear Niels & Doris: Now that the sale of our house has closed, we would really love to provide our comments on the “Christensen Approach”. We did see the difference working with you and especially appreciated the following attributes that you brought to the table: o the care Doris took in determining our``ideal``home criteria and screening homes for us to view, o the patience you had in working with us until indeed we did find just the right home for us, o the terrific support and execution on both our buying and selling strategies, your professional, business-like approach to problem solving when problems arose and your strong closing ability on both sides of the transaction - both on the sale of our present home and the purchase of our new home, o the value of working with a ``team`` - two perspectives worked well - ``couple to couple`` o the value you bring in being experts in your knowledge of the area where we wanted to buy - long time market understanding and relationships in the business mean access to better, more timely information, and an advantage in being able to put the right deal together. All in all, the experience was an excellent one and we would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others. Yours truly, "

"Doris and Niels, Buying a new house and selling the old one is a big step in life. Your professionalism and a good feel for the market conditions combined with the excellent marketing plan that you have prepared for the sale of our house, helped us go through the whole process quickly and painlessly. We sold our house for more then the asking price in just a few days and you helped us negotiate a very good price for the new one. We did see the difference and would highly recommend you to all our friends. "

"After the sale of our home, Bill & I were absolutely thrilled to receive the lovely framed pictures of our home. Both of us have them hanging in prominent places in each of our new locations. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and thank you for being so kind to us. The artistry of the photographer is superb and we shall treasure them always. We would like to thank you both for providing such efficient services in marketing our home. It was outstanding in all respects. "

"During this past year my wife and I have been involved in the sale of our home in Oakville and the purchase of a new condominium in Toronto. We have been dealing exclusively with Mr. Christensen and RE/MAX. It has been 29 years since we last went through this process of buying a home. The Christensen's were very professional in their approach to our needs and requests. They were there for us at all times to answer our questions and concerns. In order to complete our deal, the Christensen's were dealing with the owners in Germany which was quite a task. The end result was that the transition from our old home to our new one went very well. We owe our thanks to Niels and Doris. During the searching process, Niels brought a lot of suggestions forward for us to look at and think about that we hadn't thought of ourselves. Again, thanks for opening up our eyes to other suggestions. My wife and I would highly recommend Niels and Doris Christensen to help when the time comes for a major change in your life - the buying and selling of your property. "

"There is a difference” especially when your real estate agents are Doris and Niels! The whole process of purchasing a home was an overwhelming experience to us but Doris and Niels were excellent at calming our anxiety and fears especially in today`s real estate market. We really appreciated the honest evaluation of each property that we viewed. The fine details you pointed out in each of the viewings was absolutely amazing! This made the process of choosing which home was right for us so much easier. The courtesy calls we received after the deal was signed and closed reinforced the fact we made the right decision in choosing Doris and Niels as our agents and the relationship was more than just client/agent. A sincere thank you for your tremendous help! Sincerely, "

"The decision to retain you as agents was based on your presence in, and your knowledge of the area, coupled with the dynamic you present as a team, and we were pleasantly surprised with your sincerity. The execution of the marketing of our home was multi-faceted with virtual tour, web site exposure, colour feature sheets, advertisements, public and agent open houses. The list goes on. Your marketing plan secured us a place in the market through maximum exposure. This isn`t a new concept, but it is rarely executed to such a degree since it costs money to do so. Your diligence paid off and you brought us multiple offers. Throughout the process you communicated with us daily, giving us feedback from other agents, prospective buyers and kept us informed of real estate transactions in the area. The information coupled with your honest advice during negotiations helped us make a decision. Our previous experience with real estate was good, but Doris and Niels you have proved that ``there is a difference``. You hav
