My husband and I own an income property in Dundas, Ontario. Over the past 8 years, we have rented this to graduate students attending McMaster University. However, due to the Covid Pandemic beginning in March of 2020, this paralyzed the process and we were suddenly handicapped in our pursuit of students.
This predicament led us to Julie Webster, a friend from Dundas and very successful realtor and home stager! We knew we had to reach out to someone who could handle this situation and Julie was certainly the best choice!
Once I contacted Julie, she visited our rental property. The residence is an historic building, over 150 years old and is located in the heart of Dundas! Julie asked us many questions about the property and the financial requirements we were anticipating. She offered us the “rules” that should be followed by would- be renters and procedures we should practice to ensure the right individuals are selected for our home. She also shared with us the lease agreement that she felt was most transparent and reasonable for renters and home owners.
Julie is a very personable individual. She enjoys meeting people and helping them with their housing needs. She listens and always offers excellent suggestions especially regarding staging and dispensing with goods in the home that are not needed or could deter would-be renters.
Through her efforts and commitment to our needs, Julie located our new tenants! She welcomed them into our rental home, always treating them as if they were old friends! Who doesn’t like this?
Julie contacted me throughout these days of transaction and frequently made visits to my home to discuss, clarify and ensure my husband Daryl and I knew the procedures that were underway!
I cannot think of anything that Julie could be doing better as I believe our new tenants felt as we did about this important home selection! To conclude a residential lease agreement with all parties feeling confident and happy, is wonderful, a big success and a huge relief for all parties involved!
In closing, I would most definitely recommend Julie Webster to other home owners and potential renters. She is professional, caring and thorough in her handling of property affairs! She aims to please and won’t let you down!
Most Sincerely
Happy Heritage Home Landlords!
