"Having had a wonderful experience working with Peggy in the purchase of our first home 6 years ago, there was no question who we would call when it came time to move. Peggy patiently guided us through the process of searching for and eventually buying our second home in the challenging 2021-2022 real estate market. When it came time to list our home for sale, she staged our modest townhome to turn it into a stunning MLS listing, and then expertly managed a quick and busy sale. We could not be happier with how smoothly everything went and would recommend Peggy to anyone looking for a home in the Ottawa area."

"Peggy was our agent for the purchase of a new home and the subsequent sale of our house. Her knowledge of the Ottawa market, comparable properties, and advice reassured us at every step. Her support, including with staging our house, helped present it as a home that new owners will love. We would not hesitate to recommend Peggy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"You guided us through this process with absolute integrity and professionalism. So glad that Leslie Kirk recommended you to us."

"Peggy was a wonderful resource for us as we were on the hunt for a mid-century bungalow to be our 'forever home.' She not only helped us navigate a tricky housing market, but also provided excellent insights and practical advice regarding older homes, including inspection flags, renovation advice, and recommendations for different contractors. Our search spanned more than a year (and was complicated by the fact that we were also living abroad and only back for short periods), but she always took the time to help us and was patient as we tried to find something that met all our specifications. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase their new home. "

"Peggy was recommended by a friend, and we are so grateful she was. Peggy took us through what was involved in the process of selling before listing our house. Once it was listed, Peggy kept us informed every step of the way which helped relieve our stress and anxiety. We were amazed by her problem solving skills, efficiency, honesty and transparency. Eight days after our house was listed and 34 showings, it was sold at list price."

"I recommend Peggy Blair for any real estate transaction you might have, without hesitation. From our first informal call to sound out how I wanted to sell my city property, to strategic advice on negotiating with my tenants, to walking me through the steps to closing the deal, I knew she had my best interests at heart, and she was an absolute professional. I had complete faith that she would guide me through the process, and I know she will for you, too. Thank you Peggy!"

Karen Opas & Don Lanouette

"We are very happy with our new home and thought that your advice, know-how and the knowledgeable professionals you referred us to (lawyer and mortgage broker) made the experience as smooth as a purchase this significant can possibly be. Don and I really appreciated your attention to detail. Can't recommend you highly enough!"

"Peggy-Thank you so much for all your help on the rental. From finding us cabinet installers to plumbers to shopping for draperies, you went above and beyond! We seem to have the perfect tenant, thanks to you."

"I knew I wanted to hire Peggy if I ever decided to sell my home. Selling time has come and Peggy is everything I thought she would be. Experienced, professional and kept me informed with every step of the selling process. Thank you Peggy for a fantastic experience!"

"Peggy is a terrific realtor. She's sold two properties for us within the last five years. Both were staged to perfection and both sold very quickly. She arranged bidding wars each time and managed the process with grace, skill and efficiency. We wholeheartedly recommend her."

"Our super THANKS to YOU Peggy B., that helped us throughout one of the most important purchase of our lives. This house is not just a place to live but a place where we will build memories and start our family. You made sure we could find our dream house & have it! It's absolutely more than we could imagine. Your work is impeccable, super professional, and you put our interest beyond any other matter."

"We love our new place! Peggy was extremely helpful throughout the process. It was our first home purchase which can be a bit overwhelming, but Peggy was there to answer any questions we had. She was thorough in her explanations and honest during home visits pointing out potential issues. Would 100% recommend her to friends and family. Thank you, Peggy!"

"Throughout our house search Peggy has been reliable and very easy to communicate with. I valued her knowledge and opinion in each home we viewed. The small things matter most, even welcomed us into her home to finalize papers. Peggy found us a home that absolutely checked everything off our wish list - we couldn't be happier!"

Laura DeLuca

"Peggy has been by my side through purchasing my starter home to now my forever home. When my fiance and I decided to purchase our first home together, we had no doubt we'd ask Peggy to be our realtor. She took the time to help us figure out exactly what would suit our best needs and did she ever deliver! Looking forward to our house warming get together!"

"I never thought I would own a home again, but Peggy and her many contacts made it possible on a limited budget. A beautiful home in a fantastic neighbourhood, with more amenities than I had hoped for!"
