To Whom It May Concern

In past two years, I have put my house on the market two times. I used various agents from different real estate companies. Each time I had signed a 6-months contract as they requested. But the contracts expired with no sales. There were also several agents that offered their services but I just felt that their only interest is to sell the house, and sell it quickly. I didn’t feel like they had my interests in mind, at all.

My house is positioned in a highly regarded sector of Brossard, in a very quiet, nearly idyllic, kid-friendly, crescent, where 99% of traffic is local. I am 2 minutes walk away from 2 grocery stores, a pharmacy, schools, and whole slew of useful services. Even the bus to downtown is no more that 2 minutes walk. In short, it’s an ideal location.

The house itself is well maintained. Over the years I invested a lot of money in improvements and renovations. Most certainly, the house should be very attractive to potential buyers.

And yet, no sale. I had visitors. A lot of visitors. I had open-house two times but I never received any offers. I was completely shocked. I couldn’t understand why no one wanted to buy the house. It was even priced lower than the market expectations.

Before I would try to sell the house for the third time, I did some serious research on real estate agents in my area. The name of Ms. Ewelina Pawlak kept showing up on top. I checked out her website and noticed that she was selling a house close to mine. I went to see it and noticed the sign “3 offers in 10 days”. Two days later, the house was sold. Needless to say, I met Ms.Bouzaglo , who sat with me and we talked for nearly 2 hours about various options. She also explained to me what she can do for me in terms of driving traffic and potential buyers to my place. She also explained that she closely monitors online visitors and has tools to gage if the sales price should be moved, and in which direction.

Even more importantly, Ms.  Bouzaglo toured the house with me and told me what I have to do in the house to make it more attractive. It was a very long and a very detailed list of to-do’s. She even helped me, physically, with moving and removing some items. That, finally, made me feel that I would be in the good hands. She was very optimistic. When she suggested the list price, I told her that I thought it’s way too high. Obviously, with my previous experiences, I had a lot of doubts in terms of how much the house can be sold for, and I expressed those doubts to her. However, she was so confident and positive that I decided to let her do her job.

And she did the job just marvellously!! After I arranged the house, exactly as she asked, in the first 2 days, I had 7 clients. Most of them stayed in the house very long. That was already a good sign. Next day, Ms. Pawlak hosted an open-house. Instead of regular 2 hours (2-4), I had clients until 6pm. Ms. Pawlak was at house all along. Greeting each client, showing them the house, answering all the questions, in short – being completely immersed into making sure that all visitors get the right picture of what they might be buying into.

The following day, Ms. Bouzaglo presented to me 4 signed offers. All from pre-approved clients. Each offer was more attractive than the other. Two of the offers were OVER the asking price. One of them was so high that I couldn’t believe my eyes. Of course, I accepted that offer. That offer, incidentally, was over $70,000 higher than the best projection I have ever had with any of the other agents,on top with 100 IPPG pyrite in my garage!
