Why listen to me ?
I could prattle on forever about my heroic deeds in Real Estate, but I think it's much more effective for you to read exact quotes from a smattering of my past delighted buyers and sellers. I'm always amazed when companies cite 90% customer satisfaction as an achievement and yet, if an agent is doing 30 deals a year, he's therefore admitting that he annoyed 3 clients every single year ! If you've been in the business for 10 years, that's at least 30 people running around town with a bad taste in their mouths!
That just doesn't cut it for me.
I take every single transaction personally and treat each client as I would like to be treated. Ninety percent just doesn't sit well with me and nothing less than a goal of 100% is acceptable. Let's face it, when the bulk of your business is based on past client referrals, as mine is, you can't survive on anything less.
As a side note, every one of these quotes is a real quote from a real person. I have eliminated their last names and numbers to ensure they don't get a barrage of calls. Upon request however I assure you that you can speak personally to each of them.

What have you done for me lately ? Although I have won prestigious awards every single year from my company, I don't frankly put a lot of stock in their importance. In fact, my awards are in a box somewhere and my young daughters have used the frames for their crafts. I prefer to decorate my office with golf related items.
Why is this ? Let's face it. These awards are quite self serving as they are given to me by all intents, from my business partners who make money every time I sell a house so they are quite biased. I also prefer to live in the present and believe the expression "what have you done for me lately?" is much more fitting and that resting on your past laurels is a big mistake.
We could all stand to lose a little weight Thanks Dave, it is a weight off of my dad's shoulders, and he is happy that his house set the new standard for his model in Seven Oaks.

Trust me with your referrals All in all I think Beth & Dale had a very good first time experience in real estate. They certainly got a beautiful home and learned a lot about the ins and outs of buying a house. Thanks for taking care of them so well.

Get it right the first time Thanks again Dave for all your help, people don’t actually realize what a great agent you are until (like me) they're dumb enough to deal with somebody else.

Fear not Dave I just want to thank you for your excellent job of marketing my home.
You were very thorough and also very very helpful when I started to panic.
The color brochures of the house were a lovely touch. You were there with a
calm head when I panicked and I want to thank you for being so helpful. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone that I know
who is thinking of selling or buying. Thank you again.

One stop shopping As a first time home-buyer and not from the Toronto area, I felt very overwhelmed looking for and purchasing of a home. Dave found me a great location and helped me understand the process to purchasing a home. Dave also arranged a lawyer and mortgage broker which allowed a smooth and worry free environment/closing. Dave was very honest and respectful with me and always looking out and fought for me as a buyer. I highly recommend Dave as an agent and will continue to do so in the future.
Ryan F.
No pressure here Thanks for a job well done. I was very impressed with your marketing strategy and the fact that you never pushed me into any decisions.

in Seven Oaks. You demonstrated a high level of professionalism coupled
with excellent knowledge of the market. We would highly recommend you to others.
Joyce and Jim B
Aw Shucks ! This is the second time I have used the services of Dave Pratt of Keller Williams Referred Realty. To say that Dave is a dynamo at selling houses would be an understatement, but it is his honesty, integrity and diligence that impressed me the most with both sales. He is totally committed to getting you an honest, fair price for your home. I could not recommend anyone higher.
Toty R.
Enough said ! Dave... I have to thank you for being a great guy to work with, and always a lot of fun too. you are great! I'm a very blessed guy to have met you.

Taking care of family Your help during a very trying time as we moved my brother to a retirement home was invaluable. You sold his home for a very good price in very short order and you did an incredible job of handling all of the details. Thanks ever so much.
Howard H.
Making new friends This was a very overwhelming situation and frustrating sale, it was more like mission impossible but you made it happen. I would like to thank you for not only selling my house but for making me feel more like a friend than a business associate.
Ginette P.
Another Happy couple Dave is a very knowledgable Real Estate agent. He comes to all of the house tours perpared with research. His experience is evident when he points out things you would not think of. We appreciated all of his assistance with the purchase of our first home.

Gathering no moss Dave was professional, personable, and productive, left no stone unturned and did a great job both in selling and in finding us our pefect new home.
Joy and Mike C., Scarborough
Time is of the essence Dave goes the extra mile. He listened carefully to my wife and I to determine exactly what we wanted and didn't want in a house. He inspected every house we were shown prior to us spending time together looking at houses. This was a tremendous time saver as I worked and lived in Toronto before moving to Pickering. Every house we were shown met our basic criteria. We spent no time looking at homes that didn't meet our needs. Dave was always professional and we felt well served through the whole process. Dave returned calls promptly and did the research required to successfully negotiate our purchase. We would whole-heartedly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a property.
Thomas A., Pickering
Let me ease your anxiety "We whole-heartedly recommend Dave Pratt to anyone who wants to list their house for sale and needs an agent. We found Dave to be very professional, honest and prompt. He explained his plan to us for how he will market our home and carried out each step in a timely manner and exactly as he promised. He provided sound advice on where to price our house according to market conditions for quick movement. Dave also provided valuable input for us to consider in negotiating the best selling price when an offer was submitted, and without the frantic back-and-forth sign-backs that are often the case during offer presentations. Our house sold within only one week for over 97% of our asking price. We were very satisfied with the outcome and the fact that we could quickly move on with the rest of our plans. Thank you, Dave, for your excellent services!"
Agnes R., Pickering
Knowledge is King Dave was extremely professional. With his help and knowledge, our house sold for 98% of the listing price.
Maureen B, Pickering
Pain free treatment Dear Dave,
Thank you so very much for making selling our home such a painless experience. We were pleased with your honest and down to earth approach. We appreciate that you were so straight forward about all aspects of the transaction and offered a lot of helpful advice. We were very happy that the house sold so quickly and for what we considered to have been an excellent price. We attribute this, in large part, to your professionalism and hard work in promoting this listing.
It was certainly a pleasure working with you.
Thanks again.

John Z., Scarborough
Another happy couple ! Dave Pratt was our real estate agent for the purchase of our new home and
the sale of our existing home. Dave was always very helpful and patient
as he helped us search for the right home. He was very efficient in
making an offer and securing the purchase. We were more than pleased with
the quick sale and selling price of our existing home.
We found Dave to be a highly professional and effective agent and a very
sincere, likeable person to deal with. He helped make the entire process
relatively painless. It was always a pleasure dealing with Dave Pratt.
Gail and George R., Unionville
Hear Ye ! Hear Ye ! To all potential buyers and sellers- Dave Pratt did a terrific job both purchasing our new house, and selling our existing one. Both transactions were handled very professionally. We were very confident in his knowledge of the market and knew we were getting the best service possible. He is a pleasure to deal with.
