Lindsay Smith, Wendy Starr - Buy Sell Love Durham: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Steve and Shirley Gallacher - Seller 2026 Lindsay Smith and Wendy Starr, Buy, Sell, Love Durham were phenomenal to work with. They far exceeded our expectation and sold our home in 1 week. Their knowledge of the market, years of experience and guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly endorse Lindsay, Wendy and their team for your next Buy/Sell!!! You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Buy Sell Love Durham has not once, not twice, but now 3 times helped me with purchasing and selling. Wendy and Lindsey were so helpful and his team were very motivated. I truly have had such good experiences with each process each time I have made life changes. My first experience was selling and buying. Lindsey made it all so easy and we were able to sell at a good price in order to make our upgraded purchase. All the way back to 2000 this first one occurred. This time it was a buyers market- which meant stock was low. Selling was quick - bur finding our dream home was the challenge. But it happened and it happened perfectly! My next experience was in the purchase of a townhouse as I was getting divorced and needed a place for myself and my daughter. I gave Lindsey my "wish list" and well - wish was granted. I found my cozy townhouse and paid a very fair and reasonable price. The market was pretty hot at this time and finding a place was a challenge. But they got me all set - this was 2013. Then once again my life has changed in a new direction and I was ready to sell my townhouse and move with my partner. (who already has a home). Wendy and Lindsey were clear about where the market was standing and gave me their insight and advice to get the most and what needed to be done to have it happen. This was super important as this time I had a very clear schedule of when it all needed to go down and closing had to be at a particular date. Even with all my obstacles they were there to make it happen once again! Having their guidance and experience made this sale happen so fast I am still (as is everyone in my life) in shock by how quick the house sold. As 2025 has been full of challenges in a *buyers* market. But it happened and I am so glad that I can now move onto my next stage in life. I truly cannot imagine having to deal with anyone but them if life changes happen again. If you are serious about wanting your home sold and working with someone who has this long history of getting the job done you cannot afford to NOT use Buy Sell Love Durham. They are really the best!
Thanks Kathy..such a treat working with you over the years
Fantastic experience: Working with Wendy and Lindsay on the recent sale of our home was truly a positive experience. From our very first meeting, my husband and I could tell how deeply they care about their clients and their community. Their passion for what they do is definitely evident. They were incredibly knowledgeable and taught us many things we hadn’t known about the home-selling process. They were respectful of our budget, attentive to our timelines, and guided us every step of the way. Any time we needed support—whether referrals, helpful suggestions, or even a bit of emotional reassurance—they were always there. Their team is equally fantastic. Bev staged our home beautifully, Jeremy captured it perfectly in photos, and Matt did an excellent job hosting our open house and engaging with neighbours. Throughout the entire process, they remained highly professional, yet by the end we felt as though we had gained two new friends. Wendy and Lindsay are caring, thoughtful, generous, and charismatic. It was truly a pleasure working with them.
Thanks Karen.... you and Jeff were a pleasure to work with. Multiple offers ... full price sale and more than $40,000 over the last sale of the same model. Happy to make it happen... sorry you moved out of the area... however your new home will be a great adventure
Fantastic experience: Amazing team to work with! Extremely friendly and welcoming, and made me feel like a part of the family. Buying with Matthew was a great experience as a first time home owner - he truly listened to my needs and we found something I truly love!!
Negative experience: Very disappointed with the pricing strategy used by this team. In our area, (Pickering village) homes are consistently selling at a strong market value, but Lovedurham Real Estate Team drastically underpriced a property, which negatively affected the overall neighbourhood average. Responsible realtors are expected to protect community value, not reduce it. I hope they reconsider their approach in the future. ——————————————————————————- Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I understand the seller may have been satisfied, but when two properties in the same neighborhood are sold significantly below the current market value, it affects the entire community’s property averages. As local homeowners, we are concerned because these under-market sales impact future appraisals and comparable values for everyone in the area. It would have been beneficial if the listing strategy reflected the true market potential of the neighborhood, especially considering recent sales at much higher prices. I hope future listings will take this into account, as it’s important for everyone—buyers, sellers, and neighbors—that properties are represented accurately and not undervalued. Thank you.
I appreciate all reviews... and the 151 5 star reviews we currently have, most from clients we have worked with review about their experience. I see by your comment you are in Pickering Village where we just sold 2 properties and to clarify I don't believe we have met. Market value is determined by a willing Buyer and Seller and in the end both of the Sellers we worked with were thrilled with the value they received.
Fantastic experience: The dust is finally settling and things are slowly getting back to normal after the adventure of our move. Reflecting back to the start of the whole process and the journey we took with Lindsay, Wendy and team, things turned out very well. We were very much a part of the process right from the beginning and we finalized all the decisions presented. We got our asking price very quickly, even before the first open house weekend. Bev, our stager, did a beautiful job in making the house look amazing, and I know it played a big part in the quick sell. All in all, I would highly recommend this team to anyone in the Durham region. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Wendy and Lindsay handled the sale of my mother's condo in late 2025, and we could not have asked for better partners in the process! They were extremely knowledgeable about the specifics of the location and the market, and facilitated all aspects of preparing the unit for selling: arranging contractors to clear out the space and address small (and not so small) fixes to the unit. We sold extremely quickly and over asking. I cannot recommend them enough!
Thanks Colin... you and Wendy made an amazing team... from staging, content removal and dealing with a little (make that a large) insurance issue. The results were everything we had hoped for. Over the years we have learned how to transition people from 900 and 700 Wilson Rd condos to the next chapter of their lives.. as painless and stress free as possible. You and your mom were a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I find them great people, with great energy, which makes doing business easier....
Fantastic experience: Just had my house sold by Lindsay and Wendy. The whole experience was quick and seamless. Their knowledge and professionalism was evident at every step. Thank you both for making it all so easy and worry-free. Would highly recommend them.
Thank you Bernadette... I am so thrilled the sale happened quickly. I know how important a speedy sale at a very top price was to you.
Fantastic experience: What a warm, welcoming and hard working team.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay Smith was our preferred choice of a Realtor, and it was the best choice! He and Wendy were confident, supportive and total stars! Their stager Bev and photographer Jeremy were amazing; their colleague Matt passed out flyers in frigid weather and even moved furniture! Our house sold quickly at a great price; we couldn't ask for anyone better! Thank you to a fabulous team!
Thanks Lori and Ron... it was such fun to work with you both and we did what you requested... hung a sold sign with "sold over asking" on it!
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy helped us to sell our home and to buy our new home when we decided to downsize. They are both professional, caring and thorough in their knowledge of real estate . Both of them were most helpful and patient guiding us in completing our transactions. To this day, both are still in contact with us and have become great friends.
Thanks George... you and Denise were such a pleasure to work with .. and we adore the friendship that has come with your move.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service Very professional Wonderful people that get the job done !
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy create community. Disclaimer... I have not had a sale or purchase through their team, but came to know them through their community involvement and have seen 1st hand the fierce loyalty of the people they HAVE served. You don't keep fans like that by being anything less than "Stellar".
Thanks Katharine... so great to spend time with you. We adore our community and the "tribe" we have put together. Even if we were retired (which we have no interest in) we would still hold gatherings... I adore feeding and being with people.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay Smith group sold a couple of my homes and they provided excellent suggestions for staging as well as worked diligently on getting my home sold at an excellent price. Thanks guys!!!
Oh my gosh... we have been around the block a few times.... I still remember walking thru the first home we met at on Avalon. I so wish I had that lot at my home... you have always been a treat to work with Sue.
Fantastic experience: I have dealt with Lindsay and Wendy now for a few years in a couple of real estate deals and have always found them well informed about the property I have been selling or buying. They make themselves available to answer any questions I might have had. Bonus, they are both professional and pleasant to work with.
Thanks Ken and Alva.... working with people in the end causes great friendships and we are so glad to have worked with and gotten to know you both.
Fantastic experience: There are no better, more customer focussed, more community minded, caring, thoughtful, patient, wise and generally awesome real estate agents in Durham. I wish I had six stars to give Wendy and Lindsay.
Awesome back... rarely do I work with a person who a) loves the home they bought b) has become friends with the buyers of their old home and c) hosts the all time best halloween costume party. Such a pleasure to work with you my friend.
Fantastic experience: I am pleased to highly recommend Buy Sell Love Durham for their exceptional real estate services. After the passing of my mother, we faced the challenging task of selling her condo, and I cannot express how grateful we are to have had Wendy and Lindsay by our side during this emotional time. From our very first interaction, Wendy and Lindsay demonstrated a level of professionalism and compassion that truly set them apart. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the selling process, ensuring that we felt supported and informed every step of the way. Their dedication to understanding our needs and concerns was evident, and they consistently made themselves available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small. The expertise they brought to the table not only made the selling process seamless but also gave us peace of mind during a difficult period. They handled every detail with care and precision, and their commitment to our family's well-being was apparent in everything they did. If you are looking for a real estate team that combines professionalism with genuine compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Buy Sell Love Durham. Wendy and Lindsay are a remarkable duo who truly care about their clients, and we are incredibly thankful for their support during a challenging time.
Thank you for your kind words... it was a pleasure working alongside you knowing it was a difficult time for you and your family.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay, Wendy and Danielle hung in there with us while trying to sell our house and when we were about ready to give up, 2 offers came in the same weekend. They kept in touch with market updates and were always only a phone call away and responded to us immediately. Highly recommend.
Thanks Deb.... you two were a pleasure... so happy you found your "forever" home in Lakefield
Fantastic experience: For a first-time home buyer, Matthew made the process very easy! I appreciated all of his honest input and knowledge when viewing properties. Communication was great throughout, he answered all of my questions or would get answers promptly and explained everything simply which I very much appreciated. 10/10 experience :)
Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! It was a pleasure helping you navigate the home-buying process, and I'm trilled to hear that you had a great experience. Being Pre-approved made all the difference! Wishing you all the best in your new home. -Matthew

Fantastic experience: Purchased my first home from Lindsay forever ago and now am pleased to still work with him and Wendy.
I can't believe how long ago we first worked together Peter... and you haven't aged a bit :)
Fantastic experience: Lindsay handled the sale of a property for us in 1992 so as executor of my father’s estate in 1999 there was no question who would handle the sale. Thanks Lindsay for your help when we needed it most. Bob and Jane
Thanks Jane.. I remember your dads home so well and it went to a Buyer who loved and cared for it like it was a family home.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay Smith was my first real estate agent and he was recommended to me by my sister. He made the process of looking at houses so easy and finally buying one even easier. His demeanor is so happy and positive that I would recommend to everybody
Thanks for the kind words... which sister was it that referred you to us?
Fantastic experience: Excellent results every time we have used or recommended Lindsay and Wendy.
Thanks Susan and Chris... so amazing to see you back in our old neighborhood
Fantastic experience: Lindsay helped us buy our first home in 2002. He was so very patient as we took over 6 months to find the perfect first house. ♀️ He then sold that home for us, and helped us purchase another in 2004. Here we are 20 years later again hiring Lindsay, and now partner Wendy, to sell our home yet again. Everyone in their office/team that we had contact with were spectacular. Bev (the stager) is an absolute doll and is pleasant to work with, not intimidating at all. We had never worked with a stager before so were a little apprehensive and Bev made the whole process go smoothly and she is super sweet. Lindsay and Wendy sold our home in 4 days! So no stress of multiple showings etc. As our home sold so quickly, we were then able to present firm offer to prospective seller which allowed us to purchase home that otherwise had conditional offer from someone else. Lindsay and Wendy also give back so much to our local community, you’d be amiss to hire anyone else! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It has a been a trip that is for certain. I still remember working on the offer for your first home... when you lived in the apartment. So amazing to watch you and your kids grow into such amazing people
Fantastic experience: Deciding to downsize was a difficult decision for us. Choosing Lindsay & Wendy as our agents was easy! It was evident to us at our first meeting that we would have them represent us. They are both very knowledgeable and were very patient with us . There was zero pressure on us to list until they knew we were really ready to make the leap. Everything went smoothly with their professional guidance. We would not hesitate to recommend Lindsay & Wendy and their team. Rick & Sharon Rosnak
I am so happy you sold your home for exactly what you hoped for... and that the home you found was a perfect fit. Oh, and our shared love of food and wine has been the "icing on the cake"
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about Wendy and Lindsay and also need to include Danielle and Matt. They have helped me and my family find our dream home and then sell our current home. They always go above and beyond for all of the stages of selling and buying a home. I would recommend this team to everyone who is looking to start the process of selling or buying a home. Best Agents in Durham.
Thanks Maureen... you and your entire family have been a pleasure to work with. So excited about your new "digs."
Fantastic experience: Wendy Starr and Lindsay Smith were recommended to me after the death of my father to sell his house. They were both very compassionate and did a thorough job listing and selling his home quickly. They are very experienced and knowledgeable in the real estate field. They are well connected with valuable resources to maximize the sale of the home. I recommended them to my brother-in-law and they successfully sold his home too.
One of the best things that came out of helping you sell your home was our friendship Arlene... you and Ken are the best! And... let's not forget about your treasured puppies.
Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 stars I would ! I would like to say thank you to Lindsay and Wendy, and your team Danielle and Mathew!

Fantastic experience: I have know Lindsay and Wendy for 7 years as friends and always recognized their dedication to their profession and amazing ability to make others feel part of their community.

Fantastic experience: Lindsay Smith has been my real estate agent for nearly 27 years. I have bought and sold 4 properties and each experience has been handled with the utmost professionalism.

We would highly recommend Lindsay and Wendy and the Buy, Love, Sell team to handle your real estate needs.
Thanks Victor. We certainly rode the crest of the wave when we worked to sell your home. You and Avril were a treat to deal with... and the fact we have you as friends is icing on the cake.
Fantastic experience: Our first dealings happened back in 2003 when we hired Lindsay to sell my parents family home in Scarborough. It was at that time we decided to have my parents move in with us so as we could look after them in their later years. First of all we had to find a home that had a completed in-law suite. In conversation with Lindsay we informed him of our requirements and collectively we began our search. It all came together in mid November with a closing date of December 15. It was a very interesting Christmas to say the least. Fourteen years later we once again used Lindsays' expertise in the sale of our country home. We highly recommend the "Lindsay Group" as their marketing and follow-up is of the highest-rated in the industry. If you want to sell there is only one call to make - Lindsay Smith.
Gord.. you are Phyllis are reasons I love my career. Such a good couple to work with and then become friends... this last time was a bit stressful but in the end you rocked the market.
Fantastic experience: We cannot say enough about Lindsay & Wendy & their entire team. The quality of the experience has been fabulous. From excellent communication, true professionalism, & exceptional marketing we really trust we are in the best hands. Their knowledge of our area & the market equals their outstanding character which have been evident in all aspects of our experience. We have not for one moment questioned choosing Buy Sell Love Durham!
Thanks Dawn... so far so good.... let's cross the finish line together.
Fantastic experience: I have known Lindsay and Wendy for many years. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Durham area.
Thanks Jake... we do our best to give world class service
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are two of the most generous people I have had the pleasure of meeting. They fundraise and give so much to their Community. My neighbour Lisa who lost her husband in the past year and a half had to sell her home. I told her Lindsay and Wendy are the best. She immediately contacted them and though heartbreaking for her, they walked her through each step keeping her up to date and comforted her with professionalism and grace. They sold the house quickly and she truly didn’t look back as she had gained two friends in Lindsay and Wendy. Although she moved out of town, every phone call I receive from her, she always asks how they are. Truly kind and compassionate people. 5+ star rating
Thanks Jo.... we tend to take care of our clients like family... and so thrilled to partner with Simcoe Hall Settlement house.. you and your team are such a community resource.
Fantastic experience: Whenever I have buyers or sellers with an interest in Canadian real estate anywhere near Toronto, I make one call to Lindsay Smith and Wendy Starr. If they are not a direct fit geographically for the client, they will know how to take care of these families with the highest possible level of service. They are true professionals.
Thanks Bryan.... and for the Hillsdale area... buyers or sellers can be in no better hands than you, and your professional team
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are THE BEST! They are truly experts in their field. I knew I could put my trust in their plan to sell my property without hesitation. Lindsay sold another property of mine about ten years ago - at that time he was, to me, a miracle worker! I will always recommend Lindsay, Wendy and the whole team at Buy Sell Love Durham. They are so knowledgeable, experienced and caring. Thanks So Much!
Thanks for your kind words Debbie... you are such a gift to work with. Both times we have worked together have been such great experience... your smile lights every room up you enter. No wonder your homes sell for top value...
Fantastic experience: This team exceeded expectations every step of the way! Lindsay got us one of the HIGHEST selling prices in my neighborhood after being listed less than a week with multiple offers!!! Then when we purchased, Kristen took us to countless houses over two weeks where we won our second offer getting us the LOWEST price on the street! The rest of the team that we worked with was truly amazing. Thank you to Wendy, Danielle, Beverly and Jeremy as well. 10/10 5 Stars!!!!
Fantastic experience: From the start of our journey, we knew we were in the right hands. Wendy & Lindsay’s passion for their work shows. Their experience, knowledge and excellent marketing plan helped us achieve an exceptional outcome. They made our entire experience positive and stress free. Love that Wendy & Lindsay give back to Durham. They are special people that truly care about the community they live in. Can’t say enough about Wendy & Lindsay and the whole Buy Sell Love Durham team. Thanks Wendy and Lindsay...
Loved to work with you both... you took all of the recommendations, from staging to working outside to make your property look the best it could.. and you smashed the record for the highest price on the street. We miss you here in the neighbourhood.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are an awesome team. Their experience in selling my home went above and beyond the call of duty. While I was away from my house, my hot water tank sprung a leak and there was 1 inch of water on the basement floor.. Lindsay brought over his ShopVac and cleaned up the water. I don't know of any other real estate agent that would do that. They are a great team and my house was sold in no time. Thank you Lindsay and Wendy, you are the best!!!
It was so my pleasure to help vac the water... I felt so bad for you. The icing on the cake was getting 35 offers on your home.... woo hoo for you Shona!
Fantastic experience: I wish there was something more than 5 stars to rate our experience with Kristen. Right from the start she supported us every step of the way. From assigning our boys as "junior realtors" to get them involved and excited to answering our endless questions, she never ceased to amaze us with her creativity and knowledge. Kristen knew what we wanted and needed better than we did most times. She guided us through this insane market with honesty, kindness and humour and I think she got just as excited as we did on offer days! Kristen truly cares about her clients and was without a doubt a joy to work with. We will not hesitate to recommend her to everyone we know. Thank you, Kristen! We really could not have navigated this without you!
Your family is near and dear to my heart, and your kind words have brought a tear to my eyes! I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with you guys, and will forever treasure the trust you placed in me. This journey together was unforgettable, and I cannot wait to watch your next chapters unfold in your new home!
Yours Truly, Kristen Gonsalves
Fantastic experience: Wendy and Lindsay make an exceptional team. Their charitable contributions to the community make them unique- they truly care. As our realtor, Wendy was incredibly organized and driven to find us our first house. She was always patient with us and helped us determine what we did (and did not) want. Her knowledge and passion are unmatched and her assistance has extended beyond the closing date. These guys know this region and they know how to help you find “the one.”
Thanks Susan... what a treat to work with you and Jared... you are two... make that three very special people.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing, personable team! Right from our first conversation about selling my mom’s bungalow in Oshawa, to the closing day, Lindsay made the process seamless. We made the right decision to sell based on Lindsay’s vast experience and knowledge. He lead us through each and every step without any surprises…making selling a stress free and exciting process. Thank you!! His stager, photographer, secretaries, lawyer are top notch. Second to none. I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled due to such an easy positive experience they made for all of us. Thanks once again.
Thanks Elaine... it was such a pleasure to work with you and Helen... such a treat to help you moves seamlessly.
Fantastic experience: The whole team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication about the sale process was clear and I could tell the team was very experienced and knowledgeable. They answered questions in a prompt and friendly manor and made selling the house a very great experience.
Thanks Sarah.. what a whirlwind... you make your home so beautiful prior to hitting the market.. it was such a pleasure to show and sell. Thrilled with the outcome.
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Wendy and Lindsay for the fabulous job they did selling my home. When we planned to sell, they told us exactly what would happen and when, and it did, and with a lot of hard work and care. Again, thank you so much for all you did for us.
We are over the top thrilled with your results! Rarely do we see a home where the seller lives in it as it is fully staged. Beautiful!
Fantastic experience: Hi Lindsay Thank you so much for all of your help! I am so grateful for all of the hard work you've done to help me sell our home. So grateful to have you as my agent .You have a great team and extending my Special thanks to all your team members for the help.
Thanks Brinder... it all worked out huh... and the selling price will help you move to be closer to your family. Congrats!
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are not only amazing at their jobs, but they have become equally amazing friends. We met Lindsay almost 20 years ago when we needed a quick sale of our home. Where other realtors failed, Lindsay not only triumphed, but sold the house for more than what we wanted in less than a week. We have only ever dealt with Lindsay since and have referred several friends and family members. Lindsay and Wendy are true professionals in every sense of the word. They realize that time is of the essence and they truly treat every deal like it is their only priority. Add to this the fact that they are tireless advocates for the community and give back at every opportunity. They are not only great professionals and wonderful friends, but they exemplify what it is to be exceptional human beings. We are honoured to call them friends and we will never deal with anyone else!
Thanks Sharon... so thrilled we could find your daughter a home... we love our friendship
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are great down to earth, professionals and their years of experience shows. They give true honest advice. My son and I reached out to them about whether or not we should sell, and they redirected us to a much better option. These people really will care about you as a customer, and a friend, and are not after a quick buck like 99% of agents!
Thanks Amtul.. it was a pleasure meeting you. Sometimes the best advice is to stay put. When you need us we will be there for you.
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Lindsey Smith when we decided to sell our townhouse rental property . Lindsey and Wendy provided expert guidance throughout the process and got us an amazing price very quickly , a short closing and was able to find a buyer willing to assume our tenants lease. Their professionalism , attention to detail and quick response to inquiries minimized our stress . Working with Lindsey and Wendy provided the best possible experience and we would highly recommend them . They are very supportive of local charities and do a lot to give back to our community which says a lot about character . Not only did they exceed our expectations in completing our sale , they made us very comfortable every step of the way. Thank you again for a job well done Derwin and Sharon
Thanks for the kind Words Derwin.. things could have not turned out more perfectly. The buyer assumed the tenant.. and we ended up with a really amazing selling price.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay, Wendy and their team were great to work with!! They created a very stress free experience of selling our home which we appreciated. I have personally known Lindsay, since high school, and he has always shown a passion for whatever he is involved in. He and his team care deeply for the community of Durham.
Thanks John.. you and Rhonda were a pleasure to work with... and we ended up with an amazing price. So happy for you both.
Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough about our experience with this team. Spencer McCormack was just a pleasure to work with. He was very patient and so helpful in our journey to find our dream home (thankyou). Beverly Gooding (Beautiful Spaces by Bev) helped transform our home into a treasure and made it so much easier to sell our home (thankyou). Danielle Byrom, was so knowledgeable, helpful and organized in assisting us with the selling process of our house (thankyou). Lindsay Smith and Wendy Starr (dynamic duo), were so caring, patient, and confident in the sale of our home, which put us at ease and very comfortable. Their generosity to local charities is a breath of fresh air and greatly needed in the community (thankyou). Thanks to all, for making our dream...a reality. Brian Chevalier
Brian.. we loved working with you and Janet... you jumped more hoops than most to find your perfect home and to get your home sale ready... so thrilled for your move.
Fantastic experience: I have known Wendy and Lindsay for several years and I can't recommend them enough. They are absolutely wonderful to work with. Their professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. I have used them several times and they have gone out of there way to help me with the sale. They also have great contacts in Durham and referred me to an excellent lawyer, mortgage broker and home repair contractor. The Lindsay Smith Group are a great team and I definitely recommend them.
Will.. it was a pleasure.. thanks for your willingness to be open about some new marketing ideas. In the end we certainly broke some records for price...
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are two of the most generous people l know. They have raised a lot of funds for charities in Durham Region and continue to make a difference in so many lives. Thank you for all that you do to make our community a better place!
Thanks Rita.... we love Simcoe Hall Settlement House... the work you do makes us want to contribute as much as we can.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy are so amazing and all around great people. Very professional. They have done so many things to help support this community. A true blessing in this crazy world. Thanks for everything!
Julie.. like you and Victor.. giving back is in our DNA... thanks for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Bought and sold twice with Lindsay and wendy, not only great agents but more importantly really good people, would highly recommend
Thanks Paul... you and Laura are two of our favourites... and you moved up to an amazing home in a great area
Fantastic experience: What a great team Lindsey, Wendy, Bev and Danielle. We sat down at our kitchen table about a year ago to discuss the market and what our future plans were. We decided we weren't ready at that time but there was absolutely no pressure. They understood and kept in touch and informed us of the market Wendy showed us a number of properties with no commitment on purchasing even though my wife was ready to downsize but I wasn't. Finnally when I was on board we again sat at our kitchen table and discussed our options with no pressure to sell or buy. It was our decision to make. When we did decide to sell, the whole team were great, supporting us though the whole process. Lindsay has been selling homes in the Durham area for over 30 years. He, along with his partner Wendy knows the market and got us a great price for our property. If you are selling your home and would like an agent that is relatable, down to earth and absolutely no pressure, you need to call Lindsay and Wendy. They can't be beat and you won't be sorry.
Thanks Vaughn... from a house to a condo.. and a place in Florida.. you and Lynn have been busy. Happy to have a small role in your moves.
Fantastic experience: I have known Wendy and Lindsay for several years and they are amazing people! So dedicated to their clients and to giving back to the community. Through their recommendations I have painted for many many of their very happy clients. Every time I have had the pleasure of working with their clients, they sing their praises about their professionalism, friendly service and their knowledge about real estate. Having seen Lindsay and Wendy in action over and over again making clients happy by getting their homes sold or helping them into their new home, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for true professionals!
Thanks Devin... from one professional to another.
Fantastic experience: Wendy and Lindsay worked tirelessly to sell our home and were on call constantly throughout the process. Both are very experienced and very knowledgeable and it was a pleasure working with them.
Thanks Jim... just think from selling during the beginning of a pandemic.. to a smooth move to NS... :) We can't wait to visit.
Fantastic experience: Wendy and Lindsay are phenomenal agents! This is the second time we used them and both times the process was seamless. They are extremely knowledgeable about the market conditions and priced our house in the perfect range to attract buyers, enabling us to sell quickly with minimum disturbances to our life. Their communication was top notch; we were always kept in the information loop and any questions or concerns we had were dealt with quickly, efficiently and competently. They have a terrific team working with them, from Danielle their assistant to Bev, the home stager. We would be happy to say we would use them again, except our move is to another province!
We are so sorry to see you move east.. however your home in NS looks amazing. We sold just as the Pandemic was kicking in... thrilled it all worked out. Now .. just to figure out how we can visit.
Fantastic experience: This team of amazing realtors deserve more than a five star rating. Through covid they were caring and were always available to answer questions. They are knowledgeable and experienced. They treat you like family rather than clients. If anyone is looking for a realtor this team is the one to choose!!!
Thanks Pat... what a whirlwind.. so thrilled for your sold sign and your move to such a beautiful bungalow.
Fantastic experience: Long story short…..my husband and I recently relocated to Ontario, Canada and having moved for work, we were ready to find a ‘settling down’ house, something we would later term our ‘forever home.’ After 35 International moves for work purposes, we knew the country where we wanted to settle, we just needed to find the area, the right house and of course, the right Agent. During an open house, my husband Sean and I met Michael and Jodie Watson, a dynamic duo who were representing another person. If anything, we appreciated how Michael and Jodie gave us our space to look and get a feel for the house. I was in awe of their professionalism; knowing when to step in and guide us and when to leave us to have a quiet, thinking moment. Unfortunately, that house wasn’t for us. That said, my husband and I were undeterred to find a home and having visited a few, we were always asked by the Listing Agent, ‘do you have an Agent?’ we did not but upon having a keen interest on one property, we felt we needed the right representation. It was a no brainer. My husband immediately said, ‘what about that couple, Michael and Jodie, they could help us?’ He was right and so we contacted them and noted we were keen on a property and would they represent us as they would have our best interests at heart. Michael is a ‘one shop all’ guy, he knows the Building Inspector, Brian, who was amazing, the Mortgage guy (another Michael) and all the particulars and terminology with buying a new house in a new country, were new to my husband and I. Michael discussed things we had no awareness nor knowledge of and thus, we always felt in safe hands. Michael and Jodie exemplify professionalism, their work ethos and ethical manner was outstanding. No surprise they have won many awards for what they do! Even longer story short, the Building Inspection Report flagged major issues on that particular property and as a consequence, a very difficult Listing Agent made the transaction even more difficult and in the end, my husband and I decided to walk away from that house. We were gutted but Michael and Jodie would meet with us, message regularly and call us to have a plan moving forward. Michael called by our rental home with a lovely Christmas hamper of which he saw the moving boxes (we never did fully unpack the contents of that 40ft container). He then said, ‘we can’t have you living like that, Jodie and I will find your forever home.’ We felt better because to know Michael is to know that when he says something, he means it and more importantly, he delivers. Shortly after, Michael and I exchanged a message with an image of another house we thought would be a great home. Interestingly, whilst we sent that to him, he had just sent that same image to us within seconds. That’s the thing, Michael understood what we wanted, we had a wish list and a back-up of compromises. Ever so swiftly, we went to see the house, made an offer, got Brian (my trustee Home Inspector again) and without using that back-up compromise list, we purchased our forever home. So, if like me, the thought of buying a house seems daunting if not slightly scary and you don’t know all the facts or details, Michael and Jodie provide a reassurance that they will do the grafting and hard work. They know the market, the trends, the house prices, what to offer, what is included in a transaction…..everything. Thanks to Michael and Jodie, they found our forever home….it really is a ‘happy ever after’ story in the chapter of our lives.
Fantastic experience: All interactions with Lindsay and his team have been professional and informative of the current market.
Thanks Laura... you and Paul have been a pleasure to work with... both times..
Fantastic experience: Looking for exceptional Realtors & Real Estate advice? Lindsay Smith & Wendy Starr are FABULOUS! They understand the market and offer EXCEPTIONAL client customer service. Thank you Wendy & Lindsay for supporting and caring for your clients and community! - Bev (Beautiful Spaces by Bev)
Thanks Bev... we have loved the work you have done to help our sellers pretty their homes up.
Fantastic experience: We were very impressed with Lindsay, Wendy and the rest of the team. Very professional and they were able to sell our house in 5 days. However, they never lost sight of the fact that selling one's home can be very stressful and there was lots of follow up to make sure that we were comfortable in the process. Danielle was constantly following up to make sure that we were on track but also very supportive. Bev was able to make our house look like a show house. A great team effort of which Norma and I truly appreciated.
Thanks Dave... you and Norma win the award for your tireless work getting the home ready... in the end it looked soooo amazing.
Fantastic experience: My girlfriend was trying to get some real estate help and called me to say that no company was returning her calls or helping her in any way. I told her don't worry I have just the person for you. I called Lindsay, explained her situation and asked if he would kindly call and provide her some help. It didn't take long before my friend called me singing the praises of both Lindsay and Wendy. She could not believe how helpful and kind that they both were. She now had the confidence and trust in Lindsay and Wendy to take the big step she wanted so badly and started looking for a home of her own. The whole step of the way Wendy took her hand, got her through the process and she is now a forever grateful home owner and I a very thankful friend. Thanks to the kindness and dedication to providing the best possible service they can! Lindsay and Wendy are simply the Best!!!
Erica.. how could you go wrong? Wendy working with Wendy.... so excited she found a property backing to a park and for such an amazing price. Woo Hoo for Wendy!
Fantastic experience: Experience, Experience, Experience - Two Professionals that put the needs of their clients at the forefront. Lindsay and Wendy take the time to formulate a solid, realistic plan. They are my first choice and recommendation to others looking for a value-added real estate solution.
I still remember when we sold your first home... the woman who purchased it still has a visual in my memories... nice to see you so settled in your Whitby property.
Fantastic experience: Best agents in the field to work with. Truly listen to your needs really give you the personal touch!
Jeff... you were a pleasure to work with. Love to do celebratory drink at State and Main when you have time.
Fantastic experience: This summer was the second time we have used Lindsay’s team to sell our home, and we were really satisfied both times. His team is friendly and knows their stuff. We didn’t even make it to an open house! They walked us through every step of the process, and gave excellent advice on the best way to sell (and buy) our homes. They suggested realistic selling prices, and did not play games. What impressed me the most was how they handle any issues that arise. We had an issue with the buying agent, and Lindsay very professionally helped us through the process of getting our issue resolved. Thank you to your wonderful team.
Thanks Emma... wow things happened fast! In the end you found a gorgeous property in such a great area.... the little mishap caused by the other agent was a minor speed bump in the process.. I am thrilled it all worked out for your family, and especially Abby :)
Fantastic experience: My expectations were met with Lindsay and Wendy. I highly recommend them!
Virginia... we were so happy your home sold as fast as it did (knowing there is one for sale still for ages) and that you found your new home. Glad to have you back here in Whitby.
Fantastic experience: If I could put 10 stars I WOULD!! Lindsay, Wendy and their team are THE BEST!! Their knowledge and expertise sold our house in days AND got me an AMAZING DEAL on my new house!! . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also wanted to note...once you work with Lindsay and Wendy...you’re family! Love you guys!!
Kristina... I smile every time I think of you.. all of the homes we looked at and laughed.... in the end you found the perfect home. Truly friends during and after you found your home.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy listed our house, sold in 4 days above asking! They treated us like friends and made us feel that we were were the only customers they had. Their support staff go above and beyond. Great experience!
Don... you and Val were so amazing to work with. I really loved how the price we settled on was high enough to raise your eyebrows. It really was a seamless move.
Fantastic experience: We have known Lindsay and Wendy for years!! They are such wonderful caring people. They have helped us out with our Real Estate endeavours on so many occasions!! If you are looking for top notch agents... look no further!! Once again this past year Lindsay and Wendy and the Smith Group helped a close friend of our's in a Condo purchase. We reccommended Lindsay as a great Real Estate Agent and he once again put the deal together seamlessly!! Our friend is very happy and we would reccommend Lindsay and Wendy for any future purchase or sale!! Thanks again Lindsay for your expertise!! Sincerely, Ray and Liz
You and Ray are such a treat... we really love seeing you and have been fortunate to work together. You two rock!
Fantastic experience: When Ted and I sold our home we found Lindsay and Wendy to be friendly and knowledgeable. Lindsay listed our home at a price not too high or too low so that it would move quickly in the market. Someone suggested we use something like Purple Bricks, we said we could never have had the information or numbers or contacts that Lindsay and Wendy could provide to us. Their assistant Danielle was amazing, no question was too big or too small, she welcomed them all and provided quick and knowledgeable answers. They had sold our son’s house, and they were very pleased and recommended them to us and we would definitely recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.
Linda and Ted... you were a pleasure to work with. We we so happy to work with Mike and Erin a few years ago it was nice to finally meet and work with their parents..... such a lovely family.
Fantastic experience: Lindsay and Wendy have helped us not only with our home purchase in Oshawa but have helped us settle into a completely new area as we had never lived in Ontario before. They are knowledgeable, friendly and their parties are lots of fun!
You and Terry were great to work with and now we call you friends. Bonus for us! You are always invited to our parties and yes, they are fun and the food is great!
Fantastic experience: My brother passed away and I had to sell the home he lived in for 50 years. I had three real estate agents and one said go in low and the other said go in high. Lindsay was the only one who said lets go in of what it's worth. No gimmicks or smooth talking you into something, but simply trying to help the client out. Also my sister in law (who died before my brother by 8 months) was a hoarder of money. When a potential purchaser was looking under the carpet in a bedroom there was over a thousand dollars hidden there. Lindsay could have kept the money and no body would have know the difference but he is honest as the day is long and gave it to me. So think about it-- a real estate person who has the customer's interest first and foremost and is completely honest what else could a person ask for. That is why I give him a five star rating plus.
Thank you so much for your kind words. My goal has always been to protect my sellers equity.... and protecting envelopes stuffed with money under the carpet is another showing of my belief structure. I admit I did find it fascinating money was hidden under the carpet. Again, it was my pleasure.. thank you.
Fantastic experience: Wendy and Lindsay are more than just agents.. they are part of your family once they get your call. I couldn't be happier with the hard work they put in in buying and selling our homes. They helped us find our forever home. Thank you so much
Our pleasure Tim... you two... make that three... and now four were a pleasure to work with. You and your family totally rock!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were very happy with all the people at the Lindsay Smith Group and would highly recommend them to any one looking for the best of the best. Awsome group of people and Lindsay real knows his stuff.
Trent.. you were troopers! From working hard to prep the home for sale .. to all of the many showings. I still smile thinking the home inspector in was the same one you used about 10 years ago. Thrilled you found your way home to New Brunswick.
Fantastic experience: Have been dealing with Lindsay Smith now for many years. His advice is always well researched and extremely accurate. Also, the after sale service is the best and always appreciated. Thanks from a satisfied client.
Thanks Brian.... it was fun to work with you and find you a home to move to... we so enjoyed your smile.
Fantastic experience: I've owned a home inspection business for over 20 years and have worked many, many times with Lindsay Smith and Wendy Starr. They are TOP professionals..... I have never seen a dissatisfied client. They listen, they negotiate and have have nothing but their clients' interests in mind.
Thanks Dan.... over the years you have been my only choice for home inspectors.. you are the best!
Fantastic experience: After 5 months of "no offers" . Hired Lindsay to take control. Sold in two weeks after his "non expensive" recommendations. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.
Thanks Dave... we strive to get the highest dollar for our clients.. it certainly worked for you and I didn't remember it was 5 months.. sheesh!
Fantastic experience: Lindsay, Wendy and their entire team were absolutely amazing. They gave me their utmost attention and expertise. My life has been fraught with anxiety of late and I was at my wits end. The entire team, including Danielle were there through the entire process. They sold my home in 3 days and $10,000 over asking! I highly recommend using Lindsay and Wendy for all of your real estate needs. They don’t treat you as a client, it’s more like family. I’m forever grateful.
Thanks Dee.... we certainly surprised your neighborhood with the high price we set for the street.... nice to see a sold sign on your lovely home.
