CLIENT REVIEWS

I became acquainted with Jurgen in 2006 when he helped me with a condo unit rental when I moved to Ottawa. He was instrumental in the purchase of my first property in 2007. His knowledge of the condominium market, his reliability and honesty led me to recommend him to friends and acquaintances, all of whom had purchased units from him. Jurgen is sincere in fostering a good relationship with his clients. I have continued to seek his expertise in my purchases. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a condominium unit.

Jurgen has been my go-to agent who I rely on for my real estate investment for the past five years. He helps me navigate Ottawa's rental property market, particularly with regard to condo buildings. He has always been approachable and diligent in guiding me through the purchasing process. I appreciate his professional insight and unique perspective on real estate investment which helps me make informed decisions, especially at times when I needed help to resolve issues with builders. As a client, I also benefit from his extensive network of quality legal and financial services, as well as his access to initial purchase opportunities that may not be available otherwise. Investment properties through Jurgen:

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Jurgen in real estate ventures for over ten years now. My first condo deal in the East Market marked the beginning of our experiences together. From there my trust in and respect for Jurgen's knowledge has lead to his selling my first home, finding my second home, guiding me through more condo purchases in Central 1 and 2 as well as Hideaway and my latest purchases in Gotham and Soba. Jurgen also sold my East Market, Central 1 and Hideaway condos. Jurgen has been there for me with knowledge and advice every step of the way. He has a great eye for investment opportunities and a wealth of knowledge in the ottawa real estate market. In my opinion, Jurgen's ability to balance his straight forward approach with his patience and perseverance makes him a real estate agent who values his client's time and truly makes their best interests his first priority. 

We purchased a condominium as an investment property using Jurgen Fretschner as our agent. His friendly approach and professionalism put us at ease from the beginning. He was very easy to deal with and explained everything to use, from numbers to potential tenants and what the potential risks could be depending on what unit we choose. We are very happy with our investment and the guidance we received.

My wife and I have used Jurgen Fretschner as our real estate agent in both, purchasing our personal residence, as well as purchasing investment condos. We appreciated his straightforward personality and honesty. Jurgen's knowledge of the real estate market helped us make informed decisions. Especially when choosing the right investment properties. He has a great professional network and we benefited from his relationship with developers, as we were able to pick our condos prior to regular buyers at the launch of the project. We highly recommend him for your real estate needs. 

Dear Prospective Seller/ Buyer, 
If you're thinking about listing your home or buying a new home and you're not sure which real estate agent you should retain in Ottawa, may I strongly suggest that you contact Jurgen Fretschner. While it may not appear necessary, having a first-rate agent is vital to your success! Jurgen was highly recommended to me by a TD Bank mortgage broker. From my initial meeting with Jurgen, I was convinced that he would prove beneficial in finding the right home for my family. Once I had provided him with a geographic area and price range, Jurgen promptly shared all MLS listings within my specifications. 
During the first few months, Jurgen was always available and punctual when viewing potential homes for sale. With each home that we viewed, I was always incredibly impressed by his knowledge of homes. Despite several unsuccessful attempts at finding the dream home, Jurgen always reassured me that we would indeed find the perfect home. Jurgen kept in contact with me the entire time and asked me to consider widening my search area. 
Within just a few short weeks, we found the perfect home for us. Jurgen's negotiation skills proved profitable to us during the negotiation process as we closed under the asking price in a seller's market. 
But the service did not end with the closing of my home. Jurgen made sure to reach out to me to see whether my family was pleased with the purchase. To this day, Jurgen continues to stay in touch periodically and offers excellent insight into the real estate industry. 
I have such gratitude for him helping my family realize our dream of owning a home in Ottawa. We realize what a major role he played in making our dream a reality. 

Sincerely, 

We have known Jurgen for several years. He assisted us in selling our first house and finding our next home which was a significant upgrade. The selling process was quick and easy and he helped us to take the emotion out of the deal which, if not done, can often lead to unintended results. When searching for our new home, Jurgen knew exactly what we wanted and what would be a good fit for us and our new young family. In fact, after seeing the first house we insisted that Jurgen take us to about 10 more homes, only to go back to the very first one he showed us and we ultimately made that our new home for the next 21 years (and counting). Jurgen displayed tremendous patience during this process and made us feel great about our new purchase. 

After paying off our mortgage we retained Jurgen again to help us purchase some investment properties by using the equity in our home to support our investments. Again, Jurgen's professionalism and "client first" attitude has been second to none. Being new to the real estate investment market can be intimidating, but Jurgen made it all look and feel very easy. Not only was he helpful with the actual transaction, he did everything he could to help us to understand the process of securing and retaining tenants. And his connections with the various builders in the city are a distinct advantage. 

We would not hesitate to use Jurgen again for any transaction involving real estate. 

My husband and I moved to Ottawa (Centretown) in August of 2017 and were renting for the first 10 months. Despite loving the area, we really had no plans on buying a home, and had limited knowledge of the real estate climate in Ottawa. We attended an open house in our building and, although hesitant, decided to consider purchasing. My husband and I have a fair amount of experience with real estate and with Real Estate brokers. Between the two of us, this was our 8th purchase. I must say, Jurgen was definitely the most pleasant, calming, and positive experience I've had. He is a pleasure to deal with, and we benefited greatly from his experience, knowledge, and skill with negotiations. Jurgen was open and honest, and we felt we could trust his expertise with the local condo market. He gave us wise guidance in determining appropriate purchase pricing, and prepared us for what we were going to need to do at each step of the transaction. Thanks to Jurgen, we absolutely love our new home and are thrilled with our decision to purchase it. I highly recommend Jurgen to anyone who is interested in selling or purchasing, and we would be delighted to work with him again in the future should the opportunity arise. 

Jurgen Fretschner is our realty advisor and has been for more than 20 years. During this time, he has guided us through all aspects of realty advices. He is knowledgeable, reliant and he counselled us for our decisions. Jurgen Fretschner has guided us through myriad of purchases and sales. Trust, loyalty, devotion and full attention to details are some of his attributes.
