I first met Cathy and Marlene in 2016 when I purchased my house with their help in St. Catharines. With that positive experience in mind, I called upon them once again when I was ready to sell this year. From the beginning, their professionalism and expertise were evident. After their initial visit in February, where they provided a comprehensive appraisal and valuable advice while my tenant was still in residence, I reconnected with them in July when my tenant was set to move out. With their guidance, I worked with their recommended contacts to get the house repaired, upgraded, and ready for listing in early October, including bathroom renovations, drainage repairs, new carpeting, and cleaning. Each of their referrals delivered exceptional work, and the agents’ network of trusted professionals proved invaluable. Despite being away in Sint Maarten for much of the preparation and market time, Cathy and Marlene kept communication open and collaborative, respecting my own knowledge of the house and local market conditions. Together, we made key decisions on timing, pricing, and adjustments as necessary. Selling in a market with uncertainties due to the slowly declining Bank of Canada rate and it being a buyer’s market initially caused some anxiety. However, Cathy and Marlene’s expertise helped alleviate those concerns, and their proactive approach led to a successful sale within 30 days of listing, close to my asking price and with a favorable closing date. Additionally, they did their research to find a local real estate lawyer specializing in non-resident transactions—instrumental in my situation, especially with less than a two-week closing. Their support, dedication, and deep market knowledge made this sale a success. I highly recommend Cathy and Marlene to anyone navigating a real estate transaction.

The entire experience from listing to the sale which by the way took 3 days and sold over asking price! Doesn't get much better than that. Hats off to the O'Hara Sisters!

My ex-husband and I have bought and sold a number of homes during our 34-year marriage so we have dealt with a number of different real-estate agents. It wasn’t until my marriage ended and I needed to find a home for myself that I met Cathy and Marlene, the O’Hara Sisters. I can truly say that the O'Hara Sisters are the creme de la creme at what they do. Cathy and Marlene are extremely professional, knowledgeable about the Niagara Region market and have an eye for attention to detail. When is comes to securing a sale or purchase for their clients, they really get down to business and work hard to get their clients the best price. I have been fortunate to have Cathy and Marlene assist me with a purchase of a home and a sale of a home. They surpassed my expectations each time. The attention for detail also doesn’t end with the sale or purchase of the home. They both keep in touch with their clients well after the sale or purchase of a home because they do genuinely care about their clients. I highly recommend the O’Hara Sisters. Thank you, Cathy and Marlene for everything that you have done for me in both of my life changes. Patricia
