I am so glad I sold with Tara Crooks at the Christine Cowern Team. I had to move quickly out of province to help my mom out and was a first time seller. Tara was amazing. I was completely blown away with the efficiency and grace of the entire process- we went on line in just over a week with staging and home inspection. We were overwhelmed with the number of showings and in the end very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend the Christine Cowern team at Sage - especially Tara Crooks, Lori Aiello and their team !!!

Choosing the Christine Cowern team has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. There aren't enough superlatives to describe our amazing agent, Sharlene Ross. She is genuine, warm, engaging, experienced and trustworthy. She takes our best interests to heart and provides excellent advice, while possessing the knowledge and demeanor to… lower the stress-level of these important transactions. We had no experience in selling and buying in this volatile real estate economy, so we needed the best advice for a critical point in our lives. In fact, in an insane condo market, Sharlene found

I have nothing but glowing praise for the Christine Cowern team. I have felt cared for at every step in the process of buying and selling my condos. Starting with my initial conversation with Christine and my simply amazing agent Sharlene, there have been several occasions when I thought Wow. Thats a really nice touch that I didnt expect. They take client service to the next level. My sale took a few days longer than Id expected (summer lull) and those were stressful days for me, but Sharlene was a constant calming presence and kept me off a ledge. She was always helpful and responsive
