I have known John den Ouden and his wife Stephanie Eden for years. Decades, actually! John sold our home in the Beaches 25 years ago and found us a home in North York. Later, we referred John to Oma and OPA in Pickering when the time came for them to move into seniors living. All they could do was sing his praises at how seamless he made their transition. Now, with our kids grown and gone, John found us our perfect home in Uxbridge!! (With plenty of room for family visits! He knew us well enough to insist that we saw this place!!! He was right again!! 

You know what? Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, you should really work with John!! Trust me, he's your agent!!

John has been our agent for over five years. He successfully sold two of our homes and each time helped us find upgraded new homes. John consistently demonstrated that he knows residential real estate well, both at the local and macro levels. Viewing properties with him was a fun and informative experience. We had sessions where John would line up a healthy roster of promising properties. He seamlessly arranged the logistics, meticulously guided us through each property and thoroughly answered questions. He also provided valuable home improvement advice from personal and professional experience.

Another thing that sets John apart is character. His strong work ethic and sympathy towards our needs made us feel like very important clients. He certainly went above and beyond on several occasions. Whenever there was a twist or turn in our lives that impacted our journey to buy or sell a home, John was ready to help, not only as an agent but also as a trusted advisor.

We cannot say enough about Stephanie when it comes to staging our homes. Both sold quickly and attractged many viewings. We will be asking Stephanie for her advice on how to permanently furnish our new home once we move in.

We highly recommend John and Stephanie.

I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to purchase a home or income property both in the Beaches neighborhood as well as throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Following a terrible experience with a past home purchase, my husband and I were left with very little confidence in both Real Estate Agents and the process of purchasing property in Toronto. Despite our skepticism, John remained patient, supportive and available through an extended search for investment properties, a single family home as well as listing one of our current properties only to change our minds shortly after. John was successful in gaining our trust over time. His priority remained what was ultimately best for us, not closing a deal. John most recently represented us in our purchase of a single-family home and we look forward to a continued partnership on future real estate investment purchases.

I sold my first property with John den Ouden. The experience was such a positive one that I did not hesitate to contact him again when I started thinking about selling and relocating. And more recently, John found my forever home by navigating through a multiple offer situation with great skill. And Stephanie did an amazing job staging my home which sold within a week.

John is extremely reliable and responsive to his client's needs. He is never too busy to answer my questions and always gets back to me in a timely manner. He is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend John and will definitely make him my #1 choice for a Real Estate Agent if and when I buy and/or sell in the future.

Thank you so much for using your knowledge of the market and extensive realtor experience to sell our home so quickly.  We are super happy to have this overwhelming task behind us.

When we decided to sell our home, we interviewed six agents to try and find the best match for our needs.  We needed someone who was positive about the unpredictable housing market, someone who could suggest affordable renovations and fixes that would make our home more appealing to a buyer, and a company that would help us stage our home.

John, when you approached us you were so positive about selling our home.  You quickly established a good rapport with my husband and were helpful with suggestions about what we could do immediately to get the cleanup of our yard started.  Your first-hand rural living experience enabled you easily answer questions about septic systems, wells, and rural living because we both know living on a rural property is significantly different than living in a subdivision. 

But you clinched our business when you told us that staging a home was part of the services you offered when listing a home for sale. Stephanie did an amazing job.

Thank you again John for all your help and support through the house selling process.  We will definitely be talking to all our friends and neighbours about our great experience with you.
