From the first moment we were impressed with his optimism and integrity. His caring attitude toward our feelings about the land and the house were much appreciated. If I were ever in the position to be selling another property, I would not hesitate to call John.   Sincerely,  Sally Webster

John Garino worked with me to sell my 130 year old house. He has an easy, relaxed manner. He worked very hard to get my house sold to the right people. This was not an easy task given the tight relations of neighbours in our small village. But Johnny found the right couple and they are a great fit for the house and the village.
He was always there when I needed an idea, a bit of encouragement and advice on how to present my house. All the details and a lot of the work were seen to by Johnny. He handled negotiations and legal arrangements skillfully and expeditiously.
I can't say enough about his easy manner and highly effective negotiating skills. Were I starting this all over again , either as a buyer or a seller, I wouldn't hesitate to call John Garino.

Having Johnny there to assist and walk us through the purchase of our first home buying experience made it an easy and informative process. His knowledge and skills set shun through with explaining things to us, as well as dealing with the people who were selling us the property. There’s nothing but good things to say about the experience with him, and it makes for him being an easy non-hesitant recommendation.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with John Garino on the selling of our old home and purchasing our new one.  John Garino was a pleasure to work with and he made the overall experience a really smooth transition.  He was very prepared and organized in his work and all of his presentations.  He provided us with well documented comparables on the market which allowed us to be very confident in the price we were listing our old house and purchasing our new one.  He also made himself available at all times, including nights and weekends, which helped us by not disturbing our busy schedule.  He also is a real estate agent who genuinely cares about his clients and always has their best interest in mind.  I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, because I know that they would be in good hands.

 

Sincerely,

Mike - Vaudreuil/Pincourt

Overall the experience of selling a house can be very stressful on the family and John brought confidence and ease to the situation. As a client we all want to be treated as if it were a family member however we all know this rarely happens. He treated us like family and truly looked out for our best interests and ensured that both parties would remember a great experience.

J’ai fait affaire avec M. John Garino lors de l’achat de ma maison en 2009. Celui-ci s’est avéré efficace et disponible, à l’écoute de mes besoins et extrêmement compétent dans son domaine d’expertise. Il a su bien me conseiller et répondre à mes questions. 

M. Garino est un homme fiable en qui on peut avoir confiance, ce qui je crois, est l’une des clés importantes de son succès. Il est dans sa nature d’aider les gens pour les voir heureux.Je n’hésiterai pas à reprendre les services avec M. Garino dès que la prochaine occasion se présentera, et le recommande à mes amis et ma famille sans aucune hésitation. 

Il est même devenu un ami.

I just would like to let you know how much I appreciated working together on the sale of my house. You answered all my questions and made me feel at ease for my first time selling a home.
If I would be buying or selling again I would want to work together again. I would also recommend you to people I know.
Take care

Working with John was a real pleasure. Being the first time, I was rather nervous at the idea of selling my house. John was able to explain the process in simple terms and he explained what to expect and was quite frank with the type of results we could or should expect. Everthing went very well, as we were well prepared for any eventuality. 
John kept his word at all times and kept us up to speed with any developments. I learned that John has a lot of integrity and common sense. I appreciate how he understood the issues and dynamics of a young family and how he worked closely with us to ensure we were prepared for visits and such. 
I will definately have John sell my home when and if we decide to make a move. 
Thanks John!

Johnny had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a single family home as well as our budgetary limitations. He is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale in the best school districts. He did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs.  Johnny came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout this home buying process, He also managed to help the seller find another house so that we can buy his house sooner. There is nothing that escapes Johnny’s attention when it comes to property for sale in terms of quality, location and budget. We are very pleased to recommend Johnny Garino to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Johnny helped us buy our first home. He was extremely patient with us throughout the entire process and answered all our questions all the time. He looked out for our best interest and never pushed us into anything even when it came time to make an offer on the house we wanted. He's a great agent that does his research and puts his clients first. Thanks so much Johhny!

In regards to the spectacular work ethic you have shown during the period of time in which we rented our house. Your business like manner, good humour and illustrious negotiating superb salesperson. We are glad to have finally decided on you.Thank you for your hard work, dedication, guidance and most of all for being a good friend.
 
Moe and Nazy Kassem- Vaudreuil


We contacted Mr John Garino because we were looking for a rental to relocate in the Eastern Townships. In the beginning we communicated by e-mail and eventually selected some houses to view. We immediately felt very comfortable and at ease with John. He had very well understood what we were looking for, which was a bit complicated because wanted a fenced garden and the house owner would need to accept 2 dogs and a cat! We liked the houses, but they missed something. Then Mr Garino proved that he thinks out of the box and came up with a lovely cottage with which we immediately fell in love. Due to his excellent people skills he had sensed what was missing and came up with the perfect solution. Also he was there every time we needed some information or help to adjust to our new environment. We would recommend Mr Garino to every body who wants to buy or rent a property!

I appreciated the fact that you were available any time of the day (or night). You showed me many homes, Until I finally decided on my dream home. Even after the deal was done you looked out for my best interests every step of the way, helping me find a home inspector, notary and even guiding me to find the best mortgage for my needs. You went above and beyond. 
 
You helped me with every single step of the process, from finding the house until the closing of it. 
 
In a few words I would like to thank you for making my dream of owning a home come true. It is literally because of you.
 
In closing no matter the effort and time you dedicated to me, what won me over was your genuine nature and charasmatic personality. I hope to work with you in the future and I will let everybody know that if they ever need a real estate agent, to use you because you are literally the best.
