To Whom It May Concern:
Re; Roger Kilgour
I have known Roger both personally and professionally for over 20 years. I have engaged Rogers's professional services on a number of occasions, including purchasing our home and a second investment property in Rosedale. I can say, without hesitation, that Roger's business judgment and negotiation skills are beyond that of any other realtor with whom I have dealt. In addition, Roger is always available after the transaction to deal with any issues which arise. I also have personally referred Roger to many colleagues and friends whom, without exception, have been very pleased with the referral. I strongly recommend Roger as an agent to act in all matters concerning residential real estate. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Roger,

I would like to thank you and Ruth for your help with my first foray into real estate. Having never owned property, it was an intimidating decision to look into purchasing my first condo, but you and Ruth made the process absolutely seamless.

Ruth has an uncanny ability to identify the type of property one is interested in with very little to work from. Between her insight, your tolerance for anxious attorneys who always think they know better, and your negotiation skills (hours before midnight!), my first property purchase was found and the agreement completed in the course of 24 hours. You were extremely patient, and never once rushed me in the many months before I decided to actually begin looking at properties. Yet the minute I identified the one I wanted, without hesitation, you negotiated on my behalf, preventing a bidding war, and securing my ideal first condo.

Team Kiigour provided professionalism, skill, guidance, and service that eased my concerns and took away the stress I assumed would be associated with buying my first property. I cannot thank you enough, and it is my pleasure to refer you to my friends and colleagues with the same fervour with which I was referred to you. I will undoubtedly be seeking your assistance again with future purchases or sales.

Yours very truly,

Cherrine Chow 

We interviewed six of our neighbourhoods top performing Realtors and ended up listing our home with TeamKilgour, whose office was not local.  
The main reason we chose Roger was that we believed him when he told us, “We don’t just list homes, we market them”.  He did just that and in very short order got us a lot more money for our home than any of the others had predicted we would get.  
Roger and the members of TeamKilgour are consummate professionals.

File No: KILGOUR - Roger reference letter

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I was introduced to Roger Kilgour by a colleague of mine and fellow Senior Officer in the Ontario Provincial Police.

At the time I found myself acting as the co-executor along, with my sister, of my late parent’s estate and I needed to find a Realtor who was someone I could trust to be professional, truthful and effective in selling our family home. Roger had already acted for several of my colleagues with rave reviews and I felt comfortable contacting him.

During after our interview I knew everything I had heard about Rogers skill set was true. We established trust with him immediately and we hired Roger to be our Realtor then and there. He helped us with every aspect of the sale from selecting and hiring trades to ready the home for market, to floor plans, beautiful colour feature brochures and a custom website specific to our home. The marketing materials were exceptional.

The selling process was handled with complete attention to detail and one thing that is very important to me, is that I could trust everything Roger told me to be the truth. In my business that would appear to be obvious, but when you add the emotion of selling your home into the equation, trusting your advisor is beyond measure.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Roger Kilgour as my Realtor of choice.

Sincerely,

Andy Karski

Detective Inspector Ontario Provincial Police

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you and your incredible team have done for me. I am so profoundly grateful. You literally rescued me!

As you know the first real estate agent I hired promised to stage my apartment, and ‘take care of everything’. She was confident she could sell my apartment within a few weeks of staging and listing it. Two months later, despite reducing the price, twice, I had no offers, few viewings and I was very worried.

That is when I contacted you and asked if you would consider taking on my apartment.

From the first meeting with you and Ruth I felt I was now in the hands of true professionals. You were so thorough, considerate and thoughtful. You had a clear, well thought out and realistic plan of action.

Every step of the way you clearly knew your craft, from the value of the space and the amount of money I needed to spend, (minimal) to prepare it.

You put together a beautiful brochure, gorgeous photos, a floor plan and website dedicated to my property. You were on top of every detail. You took the time and the steps necessary to prepare my apartment.

It became clear to me that the first agent, albeit well intentioned, was a rank amateur. I was now in the hands of true professionals. That was confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt, when you sold my apartment just FOUR days after listing it.

My only regret is that I didn’t hire you in the first place.

Thank you so much

I know Roger Kilgour.  I have golfed with him; I have watched him try to play hockey and I have used the services of Roger and his Team selling Real Estate. All I can say is whatever he’s doing (except in hockey) he knows the rules and goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that everything that can be done, is being done with the highest level of service possible.  Always reachable and easy to talk to, I gladly recommend TeamKilgour as your Realtor.

RE: Roger Kilgour - Realtor reference letter

Roger Kilgour has acted for me as my Realtor for the acquisition of our home in Lawrence Park and our cottage on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. On both occasions, Rogers’s unique ability to see past the obvious and into areas I never would have imagined has served us greatly. On the purchase of our home he saved us untold aggravation which, in turn, translated into savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars on that purchase. In another transaction, it was in excess of a million dollars that Roger was uniquely able to steer back into our pockets. The purchase turned out unforeseen legal issues on the Seller’s side that were on the verge of impeding the sale. Roger, with his special relationships in the right places and at the right time, saw to the matters being resolved favourably by the court and the transaction was successfully completed.

My business practice as a lawyer is primarily based on commodity taxation and, as such, I am well versed in the art of negotiation in both pre-trial discovery and matters before the courts. The buying and selling of real estate is, in my opinion, a very subjective process even for the most seasoned business mind and having professional and objective advice is paramount to avoiding the pitfalls which abound during negotiations in this field.

There is no other realtor I have ever met that offers the blend of knowledge and professional skills as exhibited by Roger. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking the very best representation in the field of real estate.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss this reference at any time.

Sincerely,

Sean Aylward

Living in Lawrence Park, I unavoidably know many Realtors.  However, I also know Roger Kilgour and when it came time for us to move, the choice for who to use as our Realtor was clear.  Honest, professional and reliable are the best words I could use to describe Roger and his members of TeamKilgour. We bought our new home and sold our previous home with Roger and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who expects the absolute best in professional service with complete communication.
