The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group - Sean McCann & Noah Gagne Reviews

Here is something unusual: Sean McCann is the only real estate agent that listened to us. Over the years, we dealt with and/or interviewed many real estate professionals. They only had one thing in mind: price the house for a quick sale and they would not listen to any of the points we tried to make. They would cite comps from different parts of Ottawa to convince us to list it at a lower price point. To them, out house was a commodity that was made up of a certain number of rooms, baths and lot size. Sean explained the market trends, presented relevant comps, but he also understood what was special about out house and never treated as a commodity. And most importantly, at the end of the day, he said, it is your house and your decision. The interesting thing was that even though he listed the property at a higher price point than other agents recommended, he sold it in less than a week. And this is not an accident, his track record is extraordinary as he sells properties faster than others and he has the numbers to back up that claim. We never met a more thoughtful, accommodating, pleasant to deal with and efficient agent than Sean McCann. Equally importantly, he has a great team, where everyone has clearly delineated tasks and handles them quickly and effectively and always with a great smile. We are convinced that Julia Wilson will one day be the CEO of her own real estate outfit. If you are in Ottawa trying to sell your house, there is no one better than Sean McCann to do it for you. The "the guy with the dog" team is simply the best there is. Even if you are a cat person give them a call, you will not regret it.

Sean and the entire The Guy With The Dog team (Julia, Lucas and Valerie) were superb. We were referred to Sean by friends. We interviewed him and other agents before deciding to go with Sean. He impressed us with his clam demeanour, his data analytics, and superior knowledge of the Ottawa market and the neighbourhoods we were most interested in (Hintonburg, Wellington Village, Westboro, Civic Hospital). What we were not expecting, but were thrilled to discover, was that The Guy With The Dog is more than just Sean. There is an entire team that made the process of selling our home and buying a new one surprisingly easy. There was great communication, really excellent customer service, and a lovely group of people to work with throughout the process. We will not hesitate to refer Sean and the team to anyone looking for a realtor. (It was a bonus, and no doubt due in part to Sean's knowledge and approach, that we managed to sell our place for full list price within 48 hours while buying a great home well under asking price in one of our preferred neighbourhoods. We benefitted from Sean's understanding of the market, price trends, and that he loves to negotiate!)

Our experience with Sean and his team has been most outstanding. The superior quality of their service is noticeable from the beginning, and they maintain that standard throughout the process to the very end. Their answers to our questions demonstrated their comprehensive knowledge of the marketplace, and the expertise they shared with us in an unsolicited manner showed us that they genuinely care about their clients. We felt very well supported and guided during the life- changing event that is selling a property and buying a new one. We highly recommend The Guy with the Dog to anyone is who dealing with real estate needs! Joseph and Jessie

Our family was faced with the need to sell a relatives condominium quickly to facilitate a move to a new residence. Seam McCann and his team gave us thoroughly researched pricing guidance based on comparables in the same building, created the listing, staged the property and conducted viewings, and sold the unit for the suggested price in the midst of a cooling market very quickly. We worked with several team members and every exchange with each team member was friendly, considerate, knowledgable and professional. Communication with the McCann Team were complete and through but quick and easy to keep up with and execute, a big help for me because I live in a different community than where the sale was, Our family approached this sale with some trepidation but we felt secure immediately with Sean and his team and there is clearly a great service culture in their office. Big thumbs up from me!

Sean and his team were excellent. They made us feel comfortable through the process of purchasing our first home. They were very responsive and very knowledgeable about the area. They were also very patient with us and never made us feel rushed.
