Testimonials

“Chris and Mimi are extremely knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process, while remaining down to earth and relaxed in their sales approach. I would definitely recommend Antoine Real Estate to anyone looking to buy or sell, particularly if that person doesn’t like high pressure sales tactics.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Chris as our Realtor! He helped us navigate a rather complicated estate sale of our mother’s home. Chris provided a steady presence of support and was always willing to go above & beyond in linking us with resources. Given that none of us had ever lived in the area of sale, this initiative was instrumental. More importantly, Chris never hesitated to offer his own efforts- beyond the typical realtor expectations. He is highly responsive to questions, queries, texts & phone calls. Chris listened to our worries, concerns and frustrations attentively and without judgement. Chris has a jovial personality and was always able to integrate humour and encouragement into every conversation. This meant a lot to us during a very difficult time, and one that involved sensitive family dynamics and considerations. I definitely recommend Chris as a Realtor who won’t disappoint.”

“Chris helped us find our home and the help didn’t stop there. He continued to help us even after the sale went through. On one occasion I recall calling him up to see if he remembered with the septic lids were, not only did he know, but he came by in mid February to help me dig them out. Great guy, can’t recommend him enough.”

“Pleasant personality easy to work with goes the extra mile to help close the deal.”

“We were lucky to have Chris as our Realtor for the sale of our home. He is an excellent , timely communicator, assertive with marketing and truly felt like our partner in this process. Wholeheartedly recommend Chris.” 

“Many thanks Chris and Mimi! Selling a house, a home, can be a stressful time as you part with so many memories and have so much to deal with. Chris and Mimi were very professional and accommodating at every step of the process. Despite being on the other side of the country, they kept me up to date on what was going on and provided good, and timely, advice. The Sales Presentation that they put together was very professional and showed off my house in a very positive way. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering buying, or selling, a house / home.”

“It was a real pleasure working with Chris and he proved to be a real help whether it was looking for property or selling. We sold in less than a week and he was very accommodating when we needed extra help or information. He was able to provide us with any services needed to prepare the property for sale. We would definitely recommend Chris for any real estate dealings!!”

“What a pleasure it was working with Chris while we looked for our “forever” home. He was always readily available to work around our schedule to view properties. His knowledge of the area was extensive which was paramount in us choosing a home. We viewed many properties (a few more than once) and he never made us feel rushed or pressured. His sense of humour and good nature made our home hunting experience a pleasure. Thanks Chris.”

“Where do I even start……. Right from the first call to Chris, I knew right away Chris was the perfect agent for me. Chris went up and beyond to make things smooth for me. I was nervous and stressed and he made everything easy for me. His attitude on life is a breathe of fresh air, he always made me laugh. He is very reliable and always so easy to reach out to. He helped me sell my cottage and was always ready to help with anything else. Great agent and I gained a new friend!!!!”

“Chris has been an outstanding help for us. He has everyone’s best interest at heart – both the buyers and the sellers and the community in general. Chris has shown up for us time and time again – last minute or far past regular working hours – he has been there. He has gone above and beyond for us. He is professional and knowledgeable and makes sure you understand exactly what is going on during your transaction. He has a great reputation in the community and had many resources to offer us to make sure we were happy with inspections etc. We will certainly be working with him again in the future!”

“Chris was very helpful on all of my concerns for selling my property. Chris staged my property which I believe helped immensely on the sale of property.”

Many thanks to Christopher Jones for his professional experience to help with the sale of my home in May 2024. His advice from start to finish was spot on from the photos to helping with all the details to closing was great! He went above and beyond what I expected with a sense of humour and reassurance! Thank you Chris!

“I listed my cottage with Christopher Jones in the summer of 2021. Chris provided excellent advice on small, inexpensive things I could do to improve the showing of the cottage, then he and his team produced very high-quality marketing materials (photos, video, listing). Chris’s strategy of showing the cottage for a limited time, then requesting offers on a specific date yielded many viewings and multiple offers. Chris was very “hands-on” during the showing period, which was very helpful to me as I was remote. He went to the cottage numerous times to ensure it always looked its best, and he took actions based on comments made by those who viewed the cottage. Finally, I was very pleased with the sale price, which was well above asking. I highly recommend Chris and his team”

“In September 2016 we decided to sell our cottage on Bobs Lake. Mimi and Chris came prepared with comparable sales in our area, and an agreeable, fair price was determined. After the cottage sold, Chris attended all follow ups such as septic inspection, home and final inspections. I would recommend Antoine Real Estate and have been in touch with them as we are again looking into selling and purchasing a home.”
