My wife and I have used the Richardson team twice. We were more than satisfied, we actually felt fortunate with their service on our sale by them being present for every showing and pre screening of prospective purchasers before they came out for a showing.

With our purchase, their willingness to go that extra step in viewings and with the purchase was very helpful.

Our family recently purchased a cottage on Lake of Bays. We had a very positive experience with Jay Richardson and would highly recommend her as an agent.

We spent over a year searching for the “perfect cottage” on Lake of Bays. Her patience and easy going disposition is well matched with her knowledge of the lakes. After a few conversations and cottage viewings, Jay quickly assessed our needs and helped us further define our criteria. This was particularly helpful as she saved us a number of trips up from the city for properties that looked good on MLS but would not have been right for us.

One particular way that Jay impressed us was that she always went the extra mile in everything she did. A perfect example was our closing. We ran into a number of issues and she was always extremely thorough, organized and diligent in terms of the details and resolving outstanding points. She handled all of the details which was a huge help to us as we were not able to be up at the lake that week.

Our family would highly recommend Jay to anybody seeking their own perfect place in the area.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jay and her team again. Jay sold me my beloved cottage on Lake of Bays and now 8 years later has helped me pass my families’ great summer joys to another.

I had a previous experience in my effort to sell. However, Jay met with me personally, reviewed the attributes of my cottage, made very valid suggestions that a new buyer would appreciate, even hired the experts to ensure the small details were perfect. No detail was too small- in short time my cottage had beautiful flowers outside, gorgeous yellow Muskoka chairs on the dock and a great video and brochure!! I sold in 2 weeks, slightly below listing!! That is a great Realtor®!! I would recommend the Richardson Team for buying or selling- they are the best!!!
