“Ashley, we wish to express our gratitude to you for your energetic and professional manner in successfully selling our Etobicoke home. We were very impressed with your skill in advertising, collecting data and ultimately negotiating the end result which was much appreciated by us. You clearly enjoy what you do and it showed in your aggressive pursuit of a completely satisfactory end result. You were just terrific in handling the final hours of multiple offers. It seemed to us that you actually enjoyed the pressure of hand-to-hand combat in the late moments. You fought for us. Well done.”
– Barbara & Rick
“Ashley assisted us in the purchase of our home, patiently and diligently showing us countless options over a 15-month period, new-build renovation process, many of which were off-market or exclusive listings we would otherwise not have had the opportunity to see. She (literally) lives and breathes the Kingsway, stays on top of evolving market dynamics and valuations, has a keen eye for quality, and has a strong understanding of the new build renovation process which is imperative when buying in a historic neighborhood. She asks the right questions of other agents, is an expert negotiator but, above all else, acts with the utmost integrity in an industry where trust is absolutely paramount. As both a buyer and a seller in this market, you want someone who works hard for your business and truly cares. Fortunately for us, we found that in Ashley.”
– Dave & Shannon

Thank you Ashley for everything and I will be forever grateful you found my dream home!”
