We would like to take a few moments to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable support, help, and work done by Serge Papineau at Real Compass. We were living in Sault Ste. Marie and felt we needed to be closer to family located in Eastern Ontario. We tried to look at various real estate online websites but felt we needed to be there to get the vibe of where we wanted to end up. Through an acquaintance, we asked Serge to help us. We moved into a short-term rental just outside of Ottawa and looked at houses with Serge. We are extremely fussy about where and what we want. We will be retiring in a couple of years and wanted somewhere close to our sons and young granddaughters. Serge went above and beyond, showing us about a dozen houses throughout the area. We looked far and wide. Perth, Smiths Falls, Winchester, and the Seaway Valley. Serge was with us from the sta…

We would like to take a few moments to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable support, help, and work done by Serge Papineau at Real Compass. We were living in Sault Ste. Marie and felt we needed to be closer to family located in Eastern Ontario. We tried to look at various real estate online websites but felt we needed to be there to get the vibe of where we wanted to end up. Through an acquaintance, we asked Serge to help us. We moved into a short-term rental just outside of Ottawa and looked at houses with Serge. We are extremely fussy about where and what we want. We will be retiring in a couple of years and wanted somewhere close to our sons and young granddaughters. Serge went above and beyond, showing us about a dozen houses throughout the area. We looked far and wide. Perth, Smiths Falls, Winchester, and the Seaway Valley. Serge was with us from the start until we found our dream home in Morrisburg (see attached pics). Serge was available whenever we needed him (on weekends, in the evenings, and on long weekends) with absolutely no issue at all. Despite our fussiness, Serge remained patient with us throughout, and that was so very much appreciated. Serge gave us the impression that what was important to us was also very important to him at the end of the day, it was evident that Serge simply wanted us to be happy in our new home. Serge even generously gave us a beautiful housewarming package, which was a wonderful gesture. Serge also recommended a real estate lawyer; the sale and paperwork were explained to us in layman's terms, it was easy to understand, and the closing was seamless. We are convinced the purchase was made easy by Serge's passion for his work, but more so, most importantly, his passion for his clients, making sure that they love the place they are investing in. If we could rate Serge on a scale of 1-10, he would get top marks every single time. In summary, we could not have done it without Serge in our corner, we would recommend him without question. Thank you, Serge, for looking after us. You are the very best.

Given the stories we heard about bidding wars, we decided to find a home for our soon-to-be family of 4 before selling our current home. The market was hot but Serge helped us find and secure our home quickly. But then the stress mounted as we needed to sell our home within a month so as not to carry two mortgages. We were also worried about keeping the house clean for open houses with a toddler in the equation. Lucky for us, we had Serge on our side. With Serge’s network of contacts, we connected with a superb stager and a great painter. Serge then called the agent who had recently sold a unit a few doors down to give unsuccessful bidders a chance to bid on ours. Within a day, we had three showings resulting in three bids before the house even hit the market! We were floored by one offer in particular which was above our asking price and we took it! The best part? No need to keep the ho…

The best part? No need to keep the house in showing condition for a week! Thanks, Serge we seriously couldn’t have done it without you. Our daughter still mentions that her friend Serge found us our new house.

An amazing experience! We are good friends with many agents so making a decision was tough, but going with Serge was the best decision we made when deciding to sell our home. It was a year-long journey as we navigated through COVID-19 delays, but Serge was in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. He made some great suggestions that allowed us to maximize our profit and sell our house in less than 24 hours on the market and for a record price on our street (even as one of the smaller houses on the street). What you can expect with Serge is super quick responses (text, phone, and email), honest feedback, great contact information for renovations, amazing staging and photos, and, my personal favorite, he'll make a fantastic unique video to showcase your home and community. The service also doesn't end once your home is sold. He visited our new home, gave us an amazing…

If you want amazing service, Serge is your guy.
