C'était la première fois que nous vendions une maison. Le choix du courtier immobilier est très important. Nous avons décidé de contacter Grant. Dès notre première rencontre, Grant a su nous mettre en confiance. Ses années d'expérience dans la vente immobilière ainsi que son taux de réussite à vendre les propriétés a confirmé que nous avions contacté la bonne personne.
Grant a été disponible du début à la fin. Il nous tenait informés des visites à venir et il se faisait un devoir de nous donner les commentaires de ceux qui avaient visité notre maison.
Après la vente de notre maison, Grant nous a aidés à acheter notre condo. Il nous a donné de précieux conseils auxquels nous n'avions pas pensé. Grant a continué de s'impliquer même après la signature d'achat,
étant donné que c'est une construction neuve.
Nous sommes très satisfaits du travail de Grant et nous n'hésitons pas à le recommander pour la vente de votre propriété.

As a first-time home buyer, I had little knowledge of the stressful buying process. Grant professionalism and real estate knowledge kept me at ease throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with Grant as my real estate agent. I will highly recommend him to friends and family who are looking for a trustworthy real estate agent.
Thank you Michael for your kind words and thoughts- it really was a pleasure being able to guide you through the entire process and to see you so happy in your lovely condo now. As well, thank you so very much for introducing me to your mom in St Laurent recently! Those references are very rewarding and truly appreciated - always! THANK YOU.

Grant was referred to me by a friend - I was trying to find an area I wanted to downsize to, with close access to the water. Grant found me the perfect home in NDIP, and successfully sold my home in DDO. We later used his services for my son's condo purchase as well. I appreciated Grant's knowledge of the area, and his maturity and experience, and would not hesitate to recommend him.
THANK YOU CLAIRE ! such kind words and truly appreciated. It really was nice being able to help you accomplish the difficult task of selling the family home in DDO where you spent so many years and yet having the trust and confidence in me to search out and find the perfect home to downsize into near the waterfront in NDIP so you could enjoy the peacefulness, views and the lakefront activity. Although you experienced a few difficulties in the new home, it's rewarding to know that you are so pleased finally. AND, thank you again for the nice referral to David this past fall. Nice to know he is well established in his new Pincourt home!

Grant m’a été hautement référé. J’ai été grandement satisfaite de ses services. Il est professionnel en tout temps et ne met jamais de pression sur ses clients. Sa connaissance approfondie du domaine lui permet de donner des conseils judicieux qui sont précieux en ces temps de surenchère immobilière. Ceci qui m’a permis de trouver un magnifique condo rapidement et dans les prix que je visais. Je recommande fortement Grant comme agent d’immeuble.
Merci beaucoup Sophie! C'était un grand plaisir de vous assister dans votre relogement a Montréal récentement. J'apprecie votre confiance - toujours. Un grand MERCI !!!

I have had the pleasure to work with Grant several times in the past 10 years and I have always been impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. He listens carefully and understands his client’s needs and wants, he won’t shy from pointing out possible issues with a purchase and he will be straightforward in his appraisal of your property based on his knowledge of the current market. Grant leverages his professional experience and innumerable soft skills to provide the best service to his clients. Buying real estate is a big investment and it may be a stressful time. Whether you are looking to buy a home, sell your property, buy an investment property or finding a tenant for your rental property, you need to team up with a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and skilled professional that can point you in the right direction, show you the possible pitfalls, give you all the details required for you to make an informed decision all the while truly listening to your needs and giving you the time and space to make your decision. Grant is that person.
Hi Barbara, what a kind and thoughtful and truly wonderful testimonial - I Really can't thank you enough! The greatest pleasure we can have as dedicated, lifetime R E brokers is to be able to help people through one of their most important decisions minimizing the stress and anxiety and offering the best possible guidance along the way. THANK YOU lots and lots again!

If one would look up, kind, experienced, reputable, punctual and professional in the dictionary, you would find a picture of Grant Staley.
Over the last four months my fiancé and I have had the pleasure and privilege of working together with Grant Staley, in hopes of finding our dream home. Although, the process was difficult and at times disheartening, due to immense competition and high valuations, Grant helped us every step of the way. His extensive background, know-how and respectability amongst other brokers within the real estate market, permitted us to always get a viewing even when we required an unusual time slot due to our busy schedules. Grant went above and beyond to ensure all our criteria’s are being met. Not only did he have our best interest at heart, he also provided us with detailed reasons why we should not peruse certain properties. Lastly, Grant through his extensive connections and expertise, was able to secure us an incredible viewing and we instantly fell in love. We can proudly say that we are officially homeowners.
Our experience with Grant cannot be described in words, because there are not enough words to thank him for everything that he has done for us. He is by far one of the most kindest, genuine, caring, and respectable broker that we have come across. Furthermore, his humble nature speaks a thousand words. We can only recommend him to any other buyers or sellers as his service is simply impeccable; anyone would be considered fortunate and lucky to have Grant as their real estate agent.
Warm regards, C&F
Hi Chelsey & Fred. What an amazing testimonial! It's people such as yourselves that remind me how truly rewarding this career is - still after all these years...After meeting you at an open house in the fall of 2021 I enjoyed having that 1st time buyer meeting at my office, understanding your requirements, and getting to know you as we visited homes - of course being able to provide some valuable guidance so you could be in a position to make a more informed decision in the end. In 'todays' market it is exceptionally challenging and frustrating for younger home buyers and your patience and positive attitudes were incredible! Of course we will do a review prior to the notary and I'll most definitely be there at the signing of the 'Act of Sale' for you. Look forward to welcoming you both as proud new NDIP residents - please stay in touch. THANK YOU for your trust and confidence!

Patient, flexible and generous - Three words of a long list of qualities that Grant possesses as a realtor.
He is the gold standard of professionalism and always made time for us, answering questions and making you feel safe and secure when making big decisions. His experience and knowledge is showcased throughout the whole process - finding different options, raising the right questions that may have been overlooked and makes sure that no stone is left unturned before letting you make your own final decision.
I highly recommend Grant for anyone looking for property and that wants to be in great hands.
Hi Tina & Michael. Thank you so very much for the kind thoughts and words. It was a true pleasure being able to help you into a lovely new home with a yard for the puppy and eventual family.....As well i want to again thank you for your trust and confidence allowing me to list and sell your condo in the 'Sud-Ouest' . Thankfully all worked out well in the end as we did have our moments! It's clients such as yourselves that remind us how lucky we are to be working in this business and able to be an internal part of a huge lifetime decision. Thank you again !!!! Enjoy a wonderful loooooooooong summer in your new environment.

Having to sell my parents’ home in Montreal while living in Ottawa was a challenge I was not looking forward to. Fortunately, a friend recommended Grant Staley as real estate agent and this turned out to be a godsend .
He has decades of experience specializing in real estate in the area in which the house was located. From the very first meeting he arrived well-prepared and patiently explained matters and answered questions. When asked, he provided logical, realistic and useful advice without ever pressuring. His manner was always calm and respectful of my needs in the situation. What surprised me most was that he stuck to his word and always delivered on time; he didn’t make promises he couldn’t keep. It was a great comfort to me that he kept me entirely in the loop as to what was transpiring while I was away and personally took care of many details while remaining accessible by phone or e-mail.
As a result, the process of selling the house transpired satisfactorily and efficiently. I am very grateful for his service, especially since I had my hands full with just preparing the property for sale. Grant worked hard and gave me the feeling that my situation was his top priority. For the duration, I thought of him as my friend.
Grant Staley is a credit to his profession.
Wow, THANK YOU NATHALIE so very much for such kind thoughts and words. These comments remind me again why this is such a great business to be in. As we deal with the ups and downs and challenges of the market it's really nice to receive comments such as these. I too have a truly wonderful new friend as a result! It's been a pleasure to have helped you through this truly difficult and emotional process. Take very good care, grant

I was referred to Grant by a dear friend of mine and boy did it exceed all my expectations. It was super easy and great to work with Grant, he is kind, attentive, patient, knowledgeable and super hard working. We were able to find our first dream home in a matter of weeks and his knowledge and speedy action, advice and support made the whole transaction super smooth. I definitely recommend Grant Staley for all your real-estate needs, I know that if I ever need to sell or buy a place in future, he will be my go to!
Thank you Grant for making our dreams come true, and getting us into the home ownership market despite the harder times!
Hi Ksenia & Radu ! So very nice to receive these super kind thoughts. It truly was a pleasure getting to know you and spending time with you both in the pursuit of your 1st time home dream! You were a welcome referral client and I thoroughly enjoyed assisting you through the maze of challenges over the last couple of months. Happy clients such as yourselves is truly rewarding. Thank you again for entrusting my services and guidance for such an important lifetime transaction. Take good care...

"You just need one buyer."
We needed to sell our house as the market was cooling and we were worried. Grant was referred by friends and made a great impression at our initial meeting. He then prepared a very convincing data set to help us decide on an asking price.
Long story short: our home was sold the first day. Maybe it was luck, but Grant's knowledge of the market, advice on staging and bustle to get photos done and the listing up definitely helped!
He was quick to reply to texts/emails from the first day to the closing and we felt completely supported during the entire process.
Hey Kinga & Peter......so glad things went this well for you-especially with the anxiety and stress for the entire family with the long distance move! Things certainly worked out in a rush but orderly fashion and I'm thrilled that I was able to help co-ordinate things. Of course the personal referral from the friend was invaluable and if ever you have a chance to pass along the favour to anyone 'back here' in montreal it would most certainly be appreciated. Take good care and enjoy the new environment lots and lots! best regards.....

I worked with Grant last Fall, to sell my elderly father's home. His vast experience and seemingly endless patience made the process much easier and pleasant.
I highly recommend him for any house hunting or selling plans.
Thank you Maya ! It was a pleasure getting to know both you and your dad more and really was a nice experience listing, marketing and selling your dad's home in Beaconsfield. I'm glad i was able to help put him at ease and minimize the stress and anxiety of such an important lifetime move. It is most certainly a very difficult process for seniors and their families. Thank you again for your consideration, trust & confidence - Very much appreciated! Best wishes and regards to you and your dad!

We had the pleasure to work with Grant on selling our house recently. He was referred to us by one of our friend and how can I put it, work with him was one of the best decision we made this year. I would not repeat same words which have been provided here abundantly by others. Just saying, anyone considering selling house in Ile-Perrot, Vaudreuil &West Island area Grant is the agent you cannot afford to not call before making decision. A real estate professional that we can recommend to anyone without reservation.
Hey Scott - Thanks so very much for the kind thoughts and words. I was veery fortunate to have been referred to you by a neighbour/friend and it was really nice being able to get to know you and the family during the selling process. You have a lovely family and i'm glad things worked out well for you - especially since your lives were taking you in an entirely direction with the long distance move to western Canada. I'm also relieved that my reference to our Royal LePAGE Broker in Calgary helped to facilitate the purchase there minimizing the stress and anxiety for your family. Best wishes and regards!- I'm confident that Calgary has gained another wonderful family.....Take good care, grant

Grant made everything happen smoothly on both the sale of the condo and the purchase of the house. All transactions were handled professionally and I felt safe and confident that everything was working out perfectly.
Thank you Nadine ! It was a true pleasure being able to help you through the process of buying & selling - especially since you engaged my services to ensure you were well represented and protected while negotiating and securing a private duproprio home purchase! Of course the listing, marketing and selling of your Pointe Claire condo was a success as well during a challenging time in the late 2023 market. The original personal referral to me from a business associate is very much appreciated. Thank you for your trust and confidence !!!

Grant provided absolutely great service in a very tight timeframe. I had not previously dealt with Grant, but he was known to me through my sister. I had my sights set on purchasing a condo however I knew before placing my offer that I would be third offer in. Grant absolutely nailed it and the purchase sailed through. I could not have asked for better service or counsel. Highly recommend Grant as an agent. Thank-you Grant
Thank you Chris! The pleasure as all mine.......I was very fortunate to have been referred by your sister and simply provided the best guidance and service i could in order to assist you through the process of purchasing that lovely condo. I wish you many many wonderful times and memories there in future. Enjoy ! best wishes & regards, grant

My sister and I were very fortunate to have Grant help us sell our mothers home. He was reliable, had great incite and sold the house very quickly. He was also kind, patient and answered tons of questions, no matter how many times I asked the same one. I highly recommend Grant!
Thanks again for your help.

Exceptional is the first word that comes to mind when I want to describe Grant Staley. We have worked with Grant many times over the years and he is the ultimate professional.

One could describe Grant Staley as a gentle force. However, force was never felt during a process than ran its course in a pleasant, stress-free way. Grant always made us comfortable in all phases of the sale. Even though not eveything is black or white in real estate, Grant had us feel at ease in every discussion. It is now not geographically possible for us to do business with Grant but if ever we can do so again, we will in a heartbeat.
Hi Gilbert ! Thank you for the kind words.... so glad things worked out for you with the listing and sale of your lovely home. It was certainly interesting the way things developed and my strategy and guidance helped ensured you optimized your price and conditions. Best wishes for a great 2025 in your new Gatineau home. Meanwhile If you know of anyone back here in the greater Montreal area - family, friends, business associates, ex neighbours etc...considering a move in the near future please let me know - those references are always very much appreciated. THANK YOU !
Buying Testimonials
"Thank-you. Thank-you. Thank-you.
We decided to hire you to help us sell our home after you came highly recommended by Jason McCaig. It was one of our best decisions…ever.
Our past experience with Real Estate agents was not super-positive so we approached our initial meeting tentatively. It became obvious during our first meeting that you had extensive knowledge and experience, and you shared your wisdom and opinions with us to help us set the right asking price for our home.
What set you apart during this process was the gentleness with which you dealt with us. Although selling and buying homes boils down to doing business, there are many emotional undercurrents that run throughout the transaction, from setting the right asking price, to discussing ways to make the home appeal to a wider pool of buyers, to negotiating through the offers. Knowing that we could trust your experience and opinions on the business side was a huge source of comfort, and the delicacy with which you handled some of the more emotionally charged moments really deepened my respect and appreciation for all that you do. I would recommend you to anyone who was selling their home. Your professional expertise, and calm, soft-spoken demeanor made a world of difference right from the time we first shook hands. I also deeply appreciate how available you always were – either by phone or email. I felt supported 24-7.
When it came to buying a house, I was confident that I would find what we wanted by surfing the mls and I invested hours doing just that….wasted hours. After visiting some of the homes that I “found” you suggested visiting one that you had found…and that was exactly the perfect home for us! You knew exactly what we were looking for and found us the ideal home, in our price range. There is nothing that you could have done differently to make the transaction more smooth or pleasant.
I have deepest respect for you and what you do. Your incredible wealth of knowledge paired with your warm, generous and truly caring personality makes for a winning combination for all of your clients.
I am truly happy that we had the opportunity to work together and look forward to doing business again in the future.
You rock Grant!"
Sincereley,
Pamela

"I would just like to say a public thank you to Grant who made the quest for my first home as painless as possible. Here were some of the advantages of having had Grant as my agent: he's patient and he's not pushy, he responds quickly to his messages, either e-mail or voicemail, he makes himself available for home visits and sometimes on very short notice too.
He's very thorough in his search for "your type of house in your price range" and won't push. As a first time solo buyer, I had many questions (and worries) - he answered them all very knowledgeably. He also gave me excellent references in regards to home inspectors and mortgage brokers."
Helene
"We can't thank Grant Staley enough for all of his help and guidance in the purchase of our first house. When we first started our search for our dream home(within our budget) we were not sure where to even start! Grant had helped my parents find a house when we relocated back to the west island from Vancouver in 1998. My father insisted we contact Grant!
Grant really helped us every step of the way. He was very professional but not intimidating. He made us feel very important and we never once felt pressured. Even after a disappointing inspection on the first house we had put an offer on, Grant continued to arrange visits for us and soon after we found our new home.
Thank you Grant for all your time, support and kindness. You have really helped us make a dream come true. We continue to recommend you to everyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home!"
Jennifer, Wade and Jordanna
Grant has all the qualities you could wish for in an agent. He takes the time to listen carefully to all your needs, present and future, and doesn't stop until he finds exactly what you want. He answers all your questions clearly and ensures that you have all the information you need before you begin the process of buying. He truly understands and respects how important (and sometimes how intimidating) buying a home can be and he sets your mind at ease every step of the way.
One doesn't expect to find that kind of integrity, experience, and trustworthiness very often these days but we found all those qualities in Grant. He made our home - buying experience as stress - free as possible and sometimes, even fun and we couldn't be more grateful.

Selling Testimonials
I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for everything you did for me during the sale of my home! You made it a pleasant experience, right from the start; your patience & empathy were sincere, your explanations of the selling process very clear and understandable! Even when you sold my house so quickly, you were able to find me a new one which I absolutely love! You were always there with a solution to a potential problem, not that we had any, but there was nothing that you couldn't solve.
All the special things you did helped to make this experience a pleasant one for me. Your professionalism and attention to detail is extraordinary, please don't change!! You truly are an exceptional person to work with! You will be highly recommended to all my friends and colleagues.
Thank you again!

"We met Grant while searching for a home by the lake. We were so impressed by his professionalism,his knowledge of the market that we made sure he took care of the sale of our former home."
Pierre-Michel and Louise
"WE decided it was time to downsize and like so many others we also ventured into the world of sell your own home. After an enormous amount of curiosity seekers, useless visits, loss time and bargain hunters, we decided to get a real estate professional.
We requested one agent from each of the best known real estate organizations. Presented our home to agents that came as interested parties to represent us in our sale. Filtering one professional out of the 5 different candidates was really quite simple.
Grant came back with his proposal and recommendations that truly seemed personal and not only professional. Everything we had requested was very clear, concise and inclusive. He was the only one that came back with comparables of value.
The sale of our home was a relaxing experience. Grant provided feedback as frequently as needed. An excellent communicator who truly understands his business and the market variations. Grant was outstanding in closing; an experienced negotiator , we believe we truly got the best value for our home.
Thanks Grant."

"We just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you very much for your excellent service with our recent move. From the moment we decided to put our house up for sale, you guided us through the process in a very professional manner and you knowledge of the market helped sell our home much quicker than we could have hoped. We counted on you through the steps of listing, open house, reviewing offers, acceptance of the offer, and the signing of the documents at the Notary's office.
Thanks you also for putting us in contact with Sue Driver, our agent in the Whitby area. Through your contacts at Royal LePage, you put us in touch with Sue, and very much like you, she was very professional through the whole process of searching for our new home in the greater Toronto area.
Your guidance through a rather stressful part of our lives was one that we will never forget, and we have nothing but good things to say about the experience and would recommend your service at anytime.
Thanks again, and if fate decides that a return to the Montreal area is in the cards in the future, we will definitely be in touch.
Warmest regards,"

"I and my family would like to thank Mr Grant Staley of Royal Lepage whose support was extra ordinary since we contacted him in Oct 07 from Singapore till we purchased a house through him.
The day we landed in Montreal he had arranged a hotel as per our request and in addition he had already arranged a few viewings since we were in constant contact with him from Singapore matching our preferences.
We purchased a house within two weeks of our arrival as he showed us the houses as per our liking and we were comfortable to make a purchase decision accordingly.
Beside buying a house through his outstanding support he also provided information on all the other matters as we were new in Canada including admission of our two daughters in the neighborhood schools.
Now Mr Grant is more like a friend to us and we still are in contact from time to time and seek his advice on different matters.
We highly appreciate his assistance and positive attitude in all matters we dealt with him and we highly recommend his services if someone is looking for a Real estate."
