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

Sean, Julia and Valerie provided exceptional service in selling my father's home. Their knowledge of the market, the advance work they did prior to the listing and the constant support they provided during the process far exceeded my expectations.

We have bought and sold houses with The Guy With The Dog Team twice now and have been so happy with our experience on both occasions! Sean sold our latest Wellington Village home in 2 days, with multiple offers, well above asking, and with no conditions. He knows this area of the city extremely well and we deeply appreciated his insights as we prepared to list our home and as offers came in. Sean is professional, knowledgeable, and on top of that, just a lot of fun to work with. His team, Julia and Valerie, offer fantastic support and we could see the thought and care they put into everything they do. With both buying and selling, the team patiently led us through the process, step by step, answering all our questions as we went. Selling included a professional staging consultation and a pre-inspection report, and when we moved out of the house during showings, the team went above and beyond, checking in on the house for us, turning lights off and on, etc. With buying, we received a tonne of support at all hours of the day through both messaging and phone calls. They also sent us detailed emails listing next steps with recommendations for how to work our way through everything that needed to be done as easily as possible. We highly recommend The Guy With The Dog Real Estate Group!

This team is the one you want to work with! They handle very detail (and I mean, down to the nitty gritty), and take the guess work out of buying and selling. It can be an overwhelming process but Sean, Julia and Valerie guide you through each step with their expertise and their confidence. We're grateful for what they did for our family!

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!)
