He was a pleasure to deal with. We would not hesitate in recommending Brian in leading your real estate transactions of any kind." -Pat and Brian Scholey (Pat, President, GE Capital Canada - Brian, VP, GE Healthcare) "Brian, you cannot evaluate our appreciation for all your help with the sale of our house... as it was not just a sale but a nightmare of the broken water pipe just 5 days before closing...you went above and beyond the call of duty, you went to the house in the middle of the night, you pumped out our basement, you had contactors on-site within 36 hours (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, drywallers, painters, flooring, etc.) you took care of our property as if it was your own while WHILE WE WERE IN MEXICO! The deal closed on time, the Buyer was happy you disclosed the problem, and what could have been a financial disaster, was simply an inconvenience! ... We are forever grateful! This was the second time we had property transactions with you and we were in the hands of Orillia's winning Realtor, not just as our Realtor, but now, very high in the list of our FRIENDS!" -Jane and Oscar Lima "My husband and I had very particular specifications for uncommon waterfront acerage we hoped to purchase. After many time consuming journeys to view inappropriate properties, we were very fortunate to meet Brian Doner. Brian is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable and totally ethical. Brian listened closely to our wish list and a few months later he found our dream lakefront retreat property. Brian worked smart and hard to ensure this very complex deal got done and we can never thank him enough. We are tremendously impressed with Brian's all-round level of expertise and we are confident in highly recommending him to anyone." -Lorraine Morris and Adrian Leemhuis (Lorraine , Chief, Bond Trading Desk, Deutchbank- London, England - Adrian , Bond Trader, Union Bank of Switzerland, London, England) "I have had the pleasure of having Brian represent Royal Bank of Csanadsa on a couple of commercial real estate transactions. Brian has a good knowledge of the Orillia area marketplace and his past commercial real estate experience was a great asset when it came to negotiating on RBC's behalf." -David Fonseca (Regnional Manager - Royal Bank of Canada - Dominion Securities) "When we were looking to buy a larger home in Toronto, we weren't sure where to begin, so we asked Brian. The market is so overwhelming and we were nervous about what lay ahead. But Brian put our worries to rest by pointing us in the right direction. He referred us to a very experienced colleague/friend of his in the city, who was patient, understanding and wonderful to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted and was very understanding about our needs. We are so grateful to Brian for knowing the right person to help us find our dream home. Thank you!" -Jacintha Wesselingh (CTV News - Entertainment Anchor) "We have dealt with Brian and in the real estate sale of my brother's home in Orillia and we were very satisfied with his handling of the sale.

We wouldn't hesitate recommending himto our family and friends." -Dr. Gord & Barb Woolidge "Brian worked as the real estate agent on the sale of of our previous residence and the purchase of our current one.

I am pleased to provide a recommendation for him." -Anderson (Andy) Charters (Orillia "Citizen of the Year" 2010 - for his efforts in landing the Lakehead University campus in Orillia) "Our real estate experiences with Brian have been extremely positive.

Without your knowledge and drive to champion this transaction through the municipality, local owners' association and various lawyers, I don't think it could ever have happened. We are absolutely delighted with the property!" -Elliott and Elizabeth Knox (President, Bedford Capital, Toronto) "We appreciated the detailed information that Brian gave us in our search for a home. He spent a lot of time researching comparable values of similar home sales. We felt he genuinely cared that we should pay the correct price for what we wanted to buy. We also felt that he negotiated with our best interests at heart." -David and Susan Stacey (Sunshine Kitchens, Orillia) "When Brian heard I had a commercial real estate requirement in downtown Toronto, outside of his market area, he referred me to a very experienced commercial Realtor in that market that he knew well and was confident would be an excellent fit for me. The results were impressive; not only did his associate find us new office space for our growing company, we came in on time and on budget, with terms that suited our needs and means. All the while, Brian kept in touch to make sure that my relationship with his colleague was beneficial, expedient and comfortable for me. I have every confidence that Brian was looking out for my interests." -Stephen O'Keefe, President - Shrinking Planet -web architects "We had the opportunity to use Brian's services on three different occasions for the sale of a farm and two residential proprerties. We were very satisfied with his knowledge of the market with regard to a price for the property, efforts in showing the property and in completing the sale. Brian is well known and respected in the Orillia area and we would highly recommend him for any real estate you may wish to list for sale." -Doug and Gwen Boyd |
