October 2012 Dear Brian: We have been very pleased with your team from back in the Fall when Theresa faithfully sent us appropriate emails trying to find us a home and Kelly took us to a couple. Regarding the sale of the house, your ability to "test the market" certainly provided to be accurate and was well-supported by other agents during showings. We always felt you knew what you were doing, explained the process well and you and your team kept us well-informed, updated, were empathetic, and made it easy to communicate. We very much appreciate the Marketing Service Report you sent as well. Your and your staff's dedication and professionalism were evident throughout and we would highly recommend you. Jeannette Mantle and Jan Larendowicz April, 2010 Brian Kondo is A-1 Plus in real estate sales. When I listed my home for sale with Brian, he presented a sales plan which I was amazed at. To say he knows real estate is putting it mildly. Any one wanting to sell their home should list with Brian - he knows his stuff. His staff of Theresa and Janet are they very best to deal with - efficient and nice. A high degree of service is their minimum standard. I would highly recommend Brian, Theresa and Janet for any home sale. John Jordan March, 2010 First we would like to thank you so much for the work you did during the sale of our home. We are very happy with the work you did, because for us it is more than a house, it is our home where our 3 children grew up. You were friendly, professional and made the sale a lot easier for us. We also would like to thank Janet for answering our questions, but mostly for being such a friendly person. You can definitely add us to your list of references. We would be happy to let others know ho well you represented us. We will highly recommend you to anybody who needs real estate services. Thanks again. Joyce and Frank Plourde December, 2009 We will be pleased to recommend you and your team to anyone we know that may be considering a move and/or looking for a home to purchase. As per the level of service we experienced we can only say that you are a leader in this industry. You proved yourself to us throughout the process of selling our home. We appreciate that you are honest, present gfacts to educate us and you manage a team that supports you and who are very knowledgeable and responsive. You provided us with sound advice and were the "voice of reason" and calming in your approach. Your backroom team, Theresa and Janet, are exceptional. They provided caring support throughout the entire process. We have yet work with an agent that is so informative and goes the extra mile, and did not pressure our decisions but rather supported them. We cannot say enough good things about our experience dealing with you. Tom and Cindy Bazinet April, 2009 It was my extreme good fortune to have Janette Friesen as my real estate agent for my recent purchase in Bowmanville. I would sincerely recommend her service to any prospective clients. Janette assisted me with professional advice throughout my purchase. I also sought her advice for the home I was selling in my area although I had a real estate agent already. Her advice was much better than what I had been receiving. Janette was either immediately available for my phone calls or returned them shortly after. It seemed to me that she was available 24/7! I am very happy with all aspects of dealing with her. Janette is a true professional in her field of real estate. Andrew Chapman September 2009 Hello, I am thrilled with your team's service! I never expected a quick sale nor a great price. My regular realtor retired last year and this forced me to gamble with a "new" realtor. When Brian came to my home he was very friendly, thoughtful (he took his shoes off!), prepared and enuinely interested in helping me. After our first meeting I knew he was the right realtor sell my home. I have already recommended the team to a couple thinking of selling their home. When I'm ready to buy in the next year, I'll definitely call Brian Kondo's team. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful experience. Stacey Harris-Ottaway
September 2008 September 2008 I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your request for feedback. I can honestly say we were overwhelmed with the action your team put towards selling our townhouse. We certainly care for our home and with all that your team did, we felt very positive showing it. Again, compliments to you and your team for their dedication. It is certainly obvious.
Jane & David August 2008 We were debating between Brian and another agent we had dealt with for previous real estate transactions and we felt very torn. We finally decided to go ahead with Brian because of his proven track record and our initial meeting with him. He never pressured us to choose him and that was very appreciated.
Candice and Charles August 2008 We want to let you know how pleased we were with the amazing service and expertise you provided when selling our home. Every member of your team was professional, prompt, courteous and pleasant to deal with. With our busy household it was such a relief to know that the sale of our main asset was in such great hands. Brian, you went above and beyond our expectations when handling the multiple offers - we never imagined our house would sell so quickly or for such a high price! We felt that you were not just our agent but also our friend during our meetings and telephone conversations. We wish you and your family all the best in the future and we will definitely recommend you to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home!
The Brooks Family August 2008 I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself and the rest of your Team for the outstanding job you did in selling my late father's house. In particular, I was very impressed with your internet usage and new technology in the selling process. Your office communicated with me on a regular basis with reports of who and when appointments were made as well as up-dating me on your advertising initiatives. Your written follow up with other agents who were showing the house was also excellent. I truly believe Brian, that you and your staff are leaders in the real estate industry and I would not hesitate to recommend your Team to anyone. Please feel free to use me as a reference anytime. Again, thank you.
Mike Nosko February 2008 Brian and his team did an amazing job on selling our home, which had a little bit of a saga attached to it. We had been in touch with Brian since the middle of 2006, when we bought a new home. Since then, Brian was very diligent in sending us monthly newsletters and following up with us periodically on when we had planned to list it. Unfortunately, we could not list the home with Brian in August 2007. It took us about 3 months to sell our home through another agent. However, as luck would have it, the buyer could not close the deal, which we found out two hours before we were supposed to move.
Pervez Ansari December 2007 Hey Brian, You can definitely add my name to your list of references as I as was very happy with you and your team in helping us in selling my mom's home. My mom is not one to give compliments very easily but she was very satisfied in the way things ended. You were very honest and up front with everything which is not something you find often today. Theresa was also great to deal with as well as the others in your team. Keep up the good work and I would certainly use you and your team again and will refer you to any friends and family in the future. Cheers!
Mauro Mazzone August 2007 Dear Brian:
Sandra Jadoonaut May 2007 I would like to thank you and our team for the excellent work you did in selling my home. There was never a moment that I questioned my decision to list with you.As you know, when I called you for an opinion of value for my property, I was not planning to list with you. After listening to all the things that you offer to your clients and seeing your commitment to excellence, I was convinced that you were the person to market my home. Every single detail was handled professionally and with enthusiasm. Nothing went by the wayside and no promise was left unfulfilled. Your team in friendly and fully involved in the business. I especially liked the top-notched photography, websites and feedback from potential buyers. I also appreciate the fact that you were not looking for a quick sale, but you were dedicated and skillful at getting the best possible deal. You enjoy what you do and it shows! It truly has been a pleasure to work with you. Lynn Madsen

Gary and I would like to take this opportunity to state how pleased we were with all the
work the both of you did on the sale of my Aunt's house.
You always returned our calls very quickly and were always helpful at answering any
questions we may have had.
Brian always gave us good directions on how the sale of the house was progressing
especially after those home inspections.
It was really nice that the second offer on the house went through and we were able to
sell the house quickly and for a good price at the same time.
We will gladly recommend Brian to any friends that are thinking of selling their house in
the future, as well, if we ever decide to sell our house.
Thank you again for all your assistance. It was great with no complaints what so ever.

We want to let you know how pleased we were with the amazing service and expertise
you provided when selling out home. Every member of your team was professional,
prompt courteous and pleasant to deal with. With our busy household it was such a relief
to know that the sale of our main assets was in such great hands.
Brian, you went above and beyond our expectations when handling the multiple offers –
we never imagined our house would sell so quickly or for such a high price! We were
also impressed that you drove over to the Buyers house late at night to finish the deal.
We felt that you were not just an agent but also our friend during our meetings and
telephone conversations.
We wish you and your team all the best in the future and we will definitely recommend
you to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home.
Sincerely,
Lisa & Scott

were very happy with the service you and Mike gave us. The selling of our home went very
smoothly and we appreciated that. We would like to also thank you for your help with the
microwave issue. We are settling nicely in Norwood. Very quiet here compared to Ajax. Haven't
heard a siren since we got here. Not sure about baseball yet, you might be see me at some time.
Again thank you for your gift and great service.
Take care.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience we had while purchasing our new
home. Our time spent with Jeanette was a please to say the least. I was very specific in
what I wanted in a home and she was always there to take us to look at houses. Trust me,
we looked at a lot! Jeanette was a very professional person with a lovely demeanor and
compassion for people. She was very informative while I asked questions and she went
above and beyond to try and met our needs. Certainly I would recommend your team to
any of my friends and my husband’s employees when they are ready to purchase a home.
Thank you very much!
Imad & Wendy

miracle, our home is sold! We are pleased with everything, especially the price we got!
We are beyond pleased with Brian's services, he knows the Real Estate business and can meet any
challenge thrown at him. His many years of experience and ability to deal professionally with everyone
in the business makes him the best choice if you are buying or selling your home.
I am so glad we put our trust in Brian, his hard work meant we could sit back and just let him do his
thing. Brian kept us up to date all the time and his positive and encouraging ways got us through this
tough market.
I do not hesitate to recommend Brian and his Team. Special mention to Ginette, his Assistant who is the
perfect back up for Brian's business.
Thanks Brian!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself and the rest of your team for the
outstanding job you did in selling my late father’s house.
In particular, I was very impressed with your internet usage and new technology in the
selling process. Your office communicated with me on a regular basis with reports of
who and when appointments were made as well as updating me on your advertising
initiatives. Your written follow-up with other agents who showed the house was also
excellent. The only fault was that other agents need to buy into this method of
communication.
I truly believe, Brian, that you and your staff are leaders in the real estate industry, and I
would not hesitate to recommend your team to anyone.
Please feel free to use me as a reference anytime.
Again, thank you!

I would just like to thank you and your team for doing a great job. The team you’ve
assembled and the marketing infrastructure you have in place is fabulous. I believe my
home was on the market for a little over 2 weeks. Considering all the obstacles in my
way (i.e my subdivision’s challenges with the builder and a development with a marked
reputation), you managed to find a buyer for my property and secured a selling price far
above both our expectations.
Fast and concise communications made this entire selling process painless.
Job well done!

house sold within 2 weeks for 98% of our asking price. We were also extremely happy
with the agent he recommended for the Quinte area as well as the lawyer, stager &
mover. They all helped make our sale and move go very smoothly.
Thanks again.
Ken & Ruth
The Brian Kondo Team managed to sell my property at 99% of asking in 5 days without an open house.
The Brian Kondo Team managed to sell my property at 99% of asking in 5 days without an open house. Amazing result considering the current real estate market!
I was very selective at the beginning but extremely happy with my choice. I would recommend the Brian Kondo Team to anyone thinking of selling or buying a property.
- Gil and Anisa
Over the last 25 years I have continued to use Brian and recommend him to family and friends (who have also used his services) because he has always been open and upfront in his approach to marketing and selling my home.
I started using his services in 1996 and have used Brian's services to purchase one home and sell three homes with the last sale being August 2015.
Over the last 25 years I have continued to use Brian and recommend him to family and friends (who have also used his services) because he has always been open and upfront in his approach to marketing and selling my home. He doesn't over value your home to get your listing. Also, I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the Durham real estate market which allows him to value your home adequately. The three homes I have sold with Brian have all been within the range of value he initially presented.
I believe Brian's best value is his guidance during the offer process. He does not pressure you to sell your home if it is not in your best interest. I believe he looks out for his client's best interest rather than trying to get a quick sale.
I will continue to recommend him to family and friends.
- Henry & Sue
We cannot say enough good things about our experience dealing with you and your team.
Both Tom and I will be pleased to recommend you and your team to anyone we know that may be considering a move and/or looking for a home to purchase. As well, we are happy to provide a reference to anyone that you solicit for potential business.
As per the level of service we experienced from you, we can only say that you are a leader in this industry and you proved yourself to both of us throughout the process of selling our home. We appreciate that you are honest, you present facts to educate us, you manage an exceptional team that supports you who are very knowledgeable and responsive. You provided us with sound advice and were the "voice of reason" and calming in your approach. You are faithful to return calls and in updating us every step in the process. Communication is key when you are dealing with the largest purchase and sale of your life. Brian, your long history of experience in the business serves you well and you certainly exceeded our expectations with your level of service.
Compliments to your reception team who are competent, responsive and always pleasant. They provided caring support throughout the entire process. The updates provided by Theresa were always appreciated and she was religious in updating us with her findings in our neighbourhood to keep us well informed.
I/We have yet to work with a real estate representative that is so informative, goes the extra mile with all the detailed reporting and facts and who did not pressure our decisions but rather supported them and took a chance in listing a home well above the average sale in the area for a similar property. You told us it was worth the 50/50 gamble!
Thank you Brian. We cannot say enough good things about our experience dealing with you and your team.
- Tom & Cindy
We found your insight, advice and help to be invaluable throughout our sale.
Hi Brian - as you can imagine, the decision to sell our home in such a prime location was a very difficult one for us to make. We have loved living in Ajax and will have very special & lasting memories of our time on Lake Driveway West. We so appreciate your integrity and reasonable attitude throughout the entire sales process and during the preparation phase. We were particularly apreciative of your connecting us with Jessica and the all-inclusive design/renovation services she offers. We were well aware that the house needed some work and the entire process couldn't have been easier for us when we live at such a great distance. The results are lovely and we are more than a little jealous that we will be unable to enjoy living with the new look.
Thank you too for taking the 12-hour time difference you had to deal with in communicating with us in stride. We are aware that such complicating factors presented an extra challenge to the sale of our property and we will certainly be sure to let people know that you have risen to the challenge beyond our expectations.
We have no hesitation in recommending you to any vendors. We found your insight, advice and help to be invaluable throughout our sale. You and your team maintained a professionalism that we have not experienced before in our dealings with Realtors. Thank you.
- Alan and Sharon Nielsen
Janette was a breath of fresh air.
Hi Brian - thank you for your message yesterday and following up with us. We had a great experience with Janette Smith. We have to tell you, we had contacted a sales agent that was referred by a good friend and the experience was not so good. We just didn't "click" with this person. Janette was a breath of fresh air. She made us feel comfortable and she was very knowledgeable. Thank you for matching us with the perfect sales agent. We are confident that we will find our perfect home with Janette's help.
- Tiffany Wichert and Rick Dupuis
Your recommendations and professionalism have made this sale process a lot easier than we thought it would be.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for a job well done! Your recommendations and professionalism have made this sale process a lot easier than we thought it would be. We think a lot of credit should also go out to your team of experts, notably Janet, Jessica the staging consultant, and the photographer. they have proved to be valuable assets and contributed immensely to the successful sale of our house. Also, thanks to your referral, we have recently decided to hire the mover you recommended.
We would certainly be glad to refer you to anyone who requires real estate expertise.
- Winnie Yu and James Lee
We are very glad that we chose you as an agent whose methods of handling business are completely different than our previous agents.
Today the closing deal was carried out successfully without any glitches. It's amazing that within a month and half it went through all phases - first office visit, listing, offer, acceptance and closing. A few years ago we tried to sell this property without any significant results, only leaving us with a bad taste in our mouth once with no offer after a half year and the other with a last-minute botched Offer. This time we had to decide which real estate agent to represent us and that was the most important before we began. We had 3 options:
1. an agent who has many listings in the area where the property is located (Clarington)
2. An agent whose offices are in that area
3. An agent whose office is in Ajax and whose name is posted often on the sale sign.
We are very glad that we chose you as an agent whose methods of handling business are completely different than our previous agents.
Thank you so much again.
- Hiroshi and Sumiko Ito
We had a firm offer within a week of the listing and were able to settle on a figure that was just 5% off the listed price.
The regular feedbacks on the showings and internet hits kept us current on progress, and was much appreciated. The final proof of the pudding was that we had a firm offer within a week of the listing and were able to settle on a figure that was just 5% off the listed price.
So, thank you again. I'd be happy to recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell their property.

Quick Sale, Smooth Process, Outstanding Service
Brian and his team did an amazing job on selling our home, which had a little bit of a saga attached to it. We had been in touch with Brian since the middle of 2006, when we bought a new home. Since then, Brian was very diligent in sending us monthly newsletters and following up with us periodically on when we had planned to list it. Unfortunately, we could not list the home with Brian in August 2007. It took us about 3 months to sell our home through another agent. However, as luck would have it, the buyer could not close the deal, which we found out two hours before we were supposed to move.
With the pressure of now carrying two homes, the only name that came to mind was Brian's. Brian came over immediately to respond to our urgent requirements and allowed us plenty of flexibility in terms of a list price, list date and pictures to put on the website. It was really refreshing to see Brian's enthusiasm and his team's perseverance in following up on the minutest details. Brian's hard work and his experience really paid off, as, to our pleasant surprise we sold our home within 6 days of listing. This was like getting over a nightmare in a jiffy, considering the trying times we had to go through over a one-month period.
Brian certainly deserves our appreciation, gratitude and future referrals from family and friends. It goes without saying that Brian Kondo is the Number 1 Selling Agent in the Durham region. Thank you, Brian.
