Read Our Kawartha Buyer & Seller Testimonials

Working with Kim has been an amazing experience. Truly there is no one we would rather work with. Attentive, honest and knowledgeable doesn’t even scratch the surface, and the level of after-purchase care and advice Kim has given has been top tier. As fist time buyers Kim showed us what to look for, inspecting properties thoroughly on our behalf, whether it be foundation issues, fireplaces, plumbing, roofing, heating etc. Kim knows it all, and was able to provide solid, concise and honest analysis of every property we viewed. We are thrilled with our cottage, and the overall experience as first time buyers has been smooth and enjoyable. We would work with Kim again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her services highly enough. She is always prompt with correspondence, always professional, always punctual, and is just a great person in general.

We hired Kim to list our house for sale after a recommendation from a neighbour on our lake. Following an online video meeting with her (as we were out of the country at the time), we didn’t hesitate. Kim’s knowledge of the market for cottage properties is unsurpassed. The advice she provided every step of the way was spot on. Kim not only marketed our property to make sure it reached the right people, she ensured our home was cared for in our absence as if we were still there! If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is smart, reactive, communicative and truly cares about her clients, look no further than Kim Elrick from Kawartha Waterfront Realty Inc. Tell her Donna & Doug sent you!

I highly recommend Kim as a Real Estate Agent. I have dealt with many over the years in buying and selling different places. One was even a friend. Kim stands out over all of them. I bought a cottage house last year and Kim was always available to answer any questions and if she didn’t know the answer would recommend numerous people that could help me. Even after I bought the place I have continued to use Kim as a resource for finding trades people and general information about the neighbourhood. Very happy with the service she provided and continues to help out when asked.

Kim helped us purchase our dream cottage/home property! She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to cottage purchases - and that’s exactly what we were looking for when choosing a realtor. We felt so comfortable working with her as she was always so pleasant to deal with, quick to respond to all our questions and went above and beyond when doing due diligence for us. We couldn’t be happier with her services and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or work with her again!

We had such a great experience working with Kim to find our family cottage. She is quick to respond and made herself available to see any of the properties that we were interested in looking at - including on New Year’s Eve! Kim goes the extra mile - even climbing into the crawl spaces to assess any potential issues. She has a lot of knowledge about cottage properties that she readily shares.  We always felt that she had our best interests in mind, and she really listens so you know that she understands what you’re looking for. We had an amazing time working together and would recommend her to anyone looking to find a place in Muskoka or Kawarthas. Thanks again Kim!
This kind of makes me sad because it means that we’re not working together anymore.  But you know we will have drinks on the patio one of these hot summer days.

Could not be happier with the amazing service that David provided for the sale of our cottage. He has a deep and data driven knowledge of the Kawartha real estate market, and was able to provide great advice and guidance on the market throughout the selling process. The professional grade photos he took with his indoor/outdoor equipment gave us a high volume of showings, and he expertly led us through the final negotiations and closing process. I would highly recommend working with David!

Dave and Melissa went above and beyond to help us find our forever home and then to sell our cottage so efficiently. We cannot thank them enough for their patience, time, expertise and thoughtfulness. They are exceptional!!

“Kim is the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. Not because she’s responsive, knowledgable and service-oriented, which she is. But what really sets Kim apart is she genuinely cares about finding the right cottage that’s perfectly suited to the right buyer and will use her considerable passion, skills and contacts to ensure that happens. Kim was always available when we had a question or if a challenge came up at any point in the searching and purchasing process and was always happy to work through a solution. If you’re a first-time cottage buyer, or even a returning buyer looking for a realtor that truly cares, Kim’s your agent!”

As a real estate sales representative myself, the highest compliment is when you engage with another professional in the same field. Like other professions, real estate agents specialize in particular areas and property types. Kim was the right choice to help facilitate the sale of our cottage property in the Kawarthas. She was always responsive, helpful and most importantly, knowledgeable of all of the intricacies that come with cottage and rural properties. We would highly recommend her services.

“Kim, is fantastic!  Not only did she help us find our beautiful short-term rental property (on the water), she spent many long hours researching the options using her expertise and vast local knowledge to help us find our forever home in the Kawartha Lakes.  Kim doesn’t do just what it takes, she goes over and above.  A trusted partner, and new friend, helping us find exactly what we dreamed of.  Thanks so much!”

“I would highly recommend Kawartha Waterfront Realty. David took care of everything for me. He is kind but professional and thorough”

“Thank you for your time, patience and help in finding our new cottage. I am sure you have a million clients but you made us feel like we were the only ones that mattered. It was a huge decision for us to purchase a waterfront cottage but you have made this experience very rewarding for us. We cant thank you enough for all the effort you have put in to this venture.”

“Kim, we both want to thank you for all of your diligence & hard work on helping us to get our property sold. Our property was a little different than most, in that it had no home, but that still did not deter you from getting us top dollar & making sure our closing went as smooth as possible. You are wonderful at what you do and we are so appreciative that you helped us to get top dollar for our property and foresee that our future home dreams will come true.”

“We would like to thank you Kim, for being our cottage sale representative!  We knew we had made the right choice from the start. You recognized that it was an emotional experience for us. You were always a professional and guided us through. You worked hard for us and gave us sound selling advice. You really know the market! Thanks again. Greatly appreciate everything you did!”

“Kim - Thank you for your assistance in getting us top dollar on the sale of our cottage.  We were blown away!  We look forward to working with you in the future”

“You were so great to work with. Despite it being such a tough cottage market, you made the experience stress-free. We really valued your knowledge and honest opinion during our search.”

“We did it! Kim, wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all your help, guidance, patience, and recommendations and helping us find our dream cottage. We are so glad we got you as our agent and we are so happy with our new place! We also got your super thoughtful gift. What a great way to celebrate this place. Thank you! Can’t wait to start making memories.”

Kim: Thank you so much for the Champagne and all the cottage trinkets!!  We won’t miss you because you’re no longer our agent.  Now you’re our friend, and are welcome to come join us anytime.  Hope to see you soon, drop in any time!

We worked with Mason for over a year to find a cottage.  Mason was informative, helpful and patient during our long search.  We looked at over 30 cottages in many areas north of Toronto.  Even though some were not in the Kawarthas, Mason was more than willing to check them out with us or at one point spent an entire day looking at cottages without us to send back details and pictures.  We looked at the cottage that we bought a total of four times. Mason never got impatient with us nor our attention to details and comparisons.  Mason was willing to point out the pros and cons of each cottage that we saw, discussing the trade offs of cottage ownership! 

In the end, we found the perfect cottage!  Mason was very diligent during the close of the cottage to ensure it met all the contractual and personal expectations.  The agency went above and beyond to make the cottage easy to move into and have all issues dealt with before our arrival (including a cleaning lady).  Upon our arrival as new owners we opened the fridge to find a nice bottle of champagne from the agency, which was an amazing touch!
