What Other Families Say

Mike P.

The Halyard Group was the best. They created a structured sales process using dedicated professionals - from decluttering, repairs, cleaning, staging and marketing. Everything was done as per schedule and on time. When our home was listed, it sold on first day - before the sales sign was put in ground and for 25% over asking. I would gladly recommend Chris and his team to anyone.

Khristel L.

Chris and his team, particularly David was incredibly responsive throughout the buying process. They promptly answered my husband and I's inquiries and kept us informed about every development. David's efficiency was remarkable. They expedited the paperwork and coordinated viewings effectively, leading to a quick sale. We were impressed that he managed to lower the asking price significantly, saving us thousands. We didn't have any hiccups and it was indeed a smooth process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Re/Max Hallmark - the Halyard Group. Their dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how they went out of their way to meet our expectations. Thank you team!

Working with Chris was great. From day one, he was extremely helpful and took our needs into careful consideration to help us narrow our search, coaching us along the way to help us better understand the market, our capabilities and our best chance of success which is critical in the current market in the GTA.
