    It has been a delight working with the Richardson Team and we appreciate the effort to pull the sale of our lake home together! We appreciate your support and diligence with issues. We are so happy that the buyers will get to enjoy cottaging on Lake of Bays, hopefully for many years to come! We would highly recommend the Richardson Team !

  • Exceptional!

    The Richardson Team was exceptional! They really looked at our family's needs and did their best to find us a cottage that suited us. We never felt pressured or uncomfortable with our process. Not being from the area you need to have a knowledgeable agent that is attentive to details and the Richardson Team was this and more. We felt treated like a "family".

  • Integrity & Expertise

    Jay Richardson was absolutely amazing to work with, from beginning to sale! Her integrity, expertise, experience and professionalism is unparalleled. We could not have asked for a better realtor to represent us. We felt confident that we were in the best hands. She guided us through the entire process and helped ensure that our property was optimally ready for sale. Thanks to Jay, our cottage sold within 2 weeks amidst an otherwise flat market. You will not find a better realtor to represent you in Muskoka. In addition to all of this, she is lovely to work with, honest and just a wonderful person. We could not be happier. Thank you, Jay!

  • Knowledgeable & Professional

    This is the second time we have worked with Jay Richardson. She has assisted us in both buying and selling a residential property. Jay was very knowledgeable and professional to work with. She kept in regular contact with us to give us market updates and to discuss strategies and recommendations. It was a difficult time to be a seller but Jay helped us get a fair price for our property and she went above and beyond with her service. We enjoyed working with Jay and would highly recommend her to others looking to buy or sell in Muskoka.
