Reviews of Listings KW Realty Group - Jeff Blackham - Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge Real Estate Agent (Real Estate Agency)

Hollie Kane

From the very beginning of the process to the very end, Jeff Blackham was everything you could want in a realtor. Even before we were ready to start the process, Jeff was patient with our questions, and was always around when we needed him. Being new to the process as first time sellers, he helped us find contractors, staging services, lawyers, and even helped us find a realtor in Alberta where we moved. He always went out of his way and made us feel like his only clients. He even went so far as to help us find a contractor at the last minute when we ran into an issue. We cannot thank Jeff enough - going through an out-of-province move was the most stressful thing we have ever gone through, and his competencies made the process easier on us, which in turn allowed us to focus on other things. With Jeff as our realtor, not only did he do a killer job selling our house, but we also gained a friend. We would recommend him to everyone.

Tori Haugh

Jeff was an astounding realtor. As a first-time home buyer, it was very nerve-wracking to make decisions and we took our time. However, Jeff was very patient with us while pushing us just the right amount without being too pushy. He took time to explain everything in lots of detail, so we understood as well as make sure that we were comfortable. Jeff is very knowledgeable and has incredible knowledge of the market as well as a great eye for issues in a home. Jeff always made us feel like a priority and was very flexible with our busy schedules. While putting together offers, Jeff always brought his knowledge to the table and made it a seamless process. We would defiantly use Jeff again in the future!

Alison Cass

Jeff Blackham was an outstanding agent! He is a hard worker, and was very patient with us as we navigated the buying and selling process. We couldn’t be happier with his service. He listened and responded as he helped our family find the best home for us, as well as selling ours easily and stress-free!

Jeff Blackham reviews all details for our referenced property with respect to the neighborhood, Community and City comparative data for last 12 months including details of Market Trends, Price sold, Rate/Sq. ft. Amenities around like Business, School-College-University, Library, Bus routes etc. He informs about the projected value of our referenced property. He asks about our intentions and Price we are looking for. After which he let us know about his strategy and approach for the listing details for our review and confirmation.

My husband and I have just complete the purchase of our home with Jeff Blackham. To say we are happy with Jeff’s service would be a gross understatement. Jeff is one of the few in the industry who are worthy of being called a professional. Far from the usual home-stage and market realtor, Jeff is analytical, strategic and has an uncanny sense of price, market and value. Our recommendations is for you to hire Jeff and use his team of experts for your mortgage, house inspection and staging needs...they're AMAZING! You’ll be glad you did.

Charlotte Innerd

As a nervous first-time home buyer, Jeff was able to answer all my questions and provided sage advice. He had a wide range of helpful information and was always available. I lucked out when he was highly recommended to me.

Megan B

My fiance and I are so happy with our experience working with Jeff. He treated us as if we'd been lifelong clients and made us feel like his #1 priority. We didn't expect this of someone we'd only just met and were so appreciative. In a mere four-day period he helped us purchase our new home. Jeff can speak expertly on a number of different topics with regards to the home-buying process (analytical by nature and a former contractor). My fiance and I base our decisions first and foremost on the numbers and Jeff, an avid statistician, came prepared with spreadsheets comparing list price to his determination of fair market value calculated using his proprietary formula. This gave us transparency into the transaction we felt we needed in order to make such a significant financial decision. We are pleased with the price we got for the listing and ecstatic that we found our new home. We will definitely work with Jeff in the future. -Rob and Megan, 2020

Without a doubt, Jeff is a real pro and he will not let you down. As a house owner, you will definitely put 100% focus on your house, but Jeff as your agent, he will put 200% effort to assist you to meet and go beyond your goal, either sell or buy a new home. Jeff has helped us to sell 2 houses and buy a new house. With his knowledge, his manner, his sense of humour, we really enjoyed working with Jeff and his team. Jeff is very professional, considerate and efficient. He is always listen to our request and makes great suggestions. We would not hesitate to recommend Jeff and like to work with him again and again.

Sarah King

Working with Jeff and Alicia has been an exceptional experience. Their professionalism was evident right from the start. From the way they marketed the property, presenting a very professional video making our house really stand out from the crowd. To the way Jeff dealt with other agents, the logistics of back to back showings and finishing up with Jeff’s powerful negotiation skills. We were confident to put our trust in Jeff’s plan to sell our home and we are very glad we did. He delivered 1000%, with over 65 showings in 6 days and a firm offer $150k over asking. The whole process was seamless and surpassed our expectations. When it came to finding us our dream home Jeff and Alicia walked us through the process with patience and a methodical attention to detail. The time and effort they put in behind the scenes made it possible for us to navigate this very competitive market and secure our dream home for a price we were comfortable with. In addition they were very attuned to our needs and emotions and always helped us feel as calm and as at ease as possible. I would recommend Jeff and Alicia as an exceptional team for anyone looking to either sell or buy a property.

R Young

Jeff was recommended to us from another couple and we were not disappointed. He kept us up to date with changes in the market and insurance rates, and helped us purchase a home within our timeline. Jeff was open to suggestions we had and met with us to view homes, even when it was short notice. Jeff was honest about the neighbourhoods we were looking in and kept a professional manner the entire time! We will definitely use Jeff in the future and recommend to others as well!

Gillian Lapointe

We came across Jeff by chance after viewing another house through the selling agent on his team. We appreciated his candid thoughts about the house and its worth, and once we signed him as our agent he respected our budget, conditions, and our wants while giving us realistic expectations of what to expect with each house. His "offer calculations" were accurate to what the houses sold for, and is what helped us win the house that we did. He has a great network of contractors and was able to offer insights on what certain upgrades would run us and provide vision to what the houses could be. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and would happily endorse his services.

Scott Beaty

As first-time homebuyers, Jeff was the first real estate agent we'd ever worked with, but I can honestly say I can't see us working with anyone else in the future—our experience was that good. Jeff is an incredibly professional, knowledgeable, personable, and tech-savvy agent who was beyond patient with us as we navigated our ways through the confusing waters of buying a home for the first time in a city we've never lived in (in the middle of a global pandemic, to boot). From our first meeting Jeff, we felt confident that he'd be honest and upfront with us about the pros and cons of different houses and neighbourhoods, and we were right. Jeff was always surprisingly quick to respond to our questions and requests (both big and small) and we appreciated how on the ball he is technology-wise—sending along personalized videos with every document that needed to be looked at so we could dig in when we had time. Long story short, Jeff is awesome. We ended up buying our "dream home" in a multiple offer scenario that we felt completely prepared for thanks to Jeff's education and advice. We couldn't recommend Jeff more.

As first time home sellers we did not know how to get started. Jeff helped us every step of the way from picking a time to sell, staging, and creating interest in our home. In the end, we were able to sell our home above asking price. During this whole process Jeff helped us find our next home. He found the perfect home at the right price. Jeff is a great agent. What makes him stand out from the rest is his remarkable attention to detail. He also has great connections in the community which helps make the whole process run so smoothly.

Megan Bassett

As our agent, Jeff proved to be an amazing resource. Besides being an impressive source of helpful information regarding the home buying process, he made us feel like his priority while patiently leading us through our learning curve of the current real estate market. He was always available when we needed him and he anticipated our needs even before we knew what those needs would be. We are very satisfied with having Jeff as our realtor when purchasing our first home, and we now consider him a friend.

Stuart Thomson

We had a fantastic experience with Jeff Blackham as our real estate agent for the sale of our house. He knew the housing market well and was able to garner multiple offers which were well over the asking price as well as our expectations. His professionalism, candour and resources was instrumental in helping us to prepare the house for sale, obtain qualified buyers, and ultimately resulted in an excellent end result!

Tomson Hu

Jeff is one of the best agents in the Waterloo region. He is young, promising, active, serious, efficient and professional. He always helps us with enthusiasm and focus, regardless of the issues that come up. He always responds in a timely manner and takes customer satisfaction as his responsibility. We highly recommend Jeff and the ListingsKW Realty Group.

Shayna Lee

Working with Jeff was a pleasure. He was great with helping us find our forever home and with selling our current house. Although it was a stressful week on the market the outcome was great and we really appreciate all of Jeff's hard work. Thank you again Jeff for always being so patient with us and our constant flip flop with deciding if we should sell or not! I am glad we made the decision to move forward!

Kim Wheeler

When it came time to sell my home I knew who could get the job done…I knew I wanted to move to the Kitchener/Waterloo area so I gave Jeff Blackham a call…he got the ball rolling in no time…he was very understanding to my situation…I had just lost my husband and was devastated…Jeff showed compassion and patience…we looked at quite a few homes and I finally came across one that was just right for me…He wasted not time getting my offer put in and the house was mine the very next day!!!!!!! I would highly recommend this man…I was not disappointed ???? ???? ????

Renee Stephenson

We absolutely loved working with Jeff throughout out first-time home buying process. From the start, where we weren't even sure which neighbourhood or type of house we wanted, he helped us understand what would be best suited for us and our family. Since we weren't particularly set on an area, he went out of his way to ensure that we visited houses near and far until we found the perfect home. He helped us understand the true & fair market value of our purchase, which was important, given the market conditions we faced during Covid. Not only did he help set up the times for us to view the many many houses, but when looking through the houses with us, he pointed out various features of the house that we may have missed, as if he was purchasing the home himself. He was always very responsive to any questions, concerns, or random thoughts that crossed our mind (and there were a lot) and accommodated to our varying schedules to allow us to see any home that crossed our paths. We strongly recommend Jeff for anyone looking for purchase a home. His balance between his knowledge of the market and his personality made the entire process very simple. We truly felt we could trust Jeff from the beginning with our search and he succeeded by finding us our dream home. We can't thank him enough!!

Mark Navarro

Jeff has been a fantastic realtor and very knowledgeable. He sold our house on the price that we want and got us our dream home not a cent over our budget! Me and my wife could not be any happier! Presented realistic numbers to us. It was an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend Jeff to anybody who wants to sell our buy a house, this is the GUY!

Aline K

As first-time homebuyers, the idea of competing in the housing market was stressful and overwhelming at first. However, upon meeting Jeff, we were quickly amazed right from the start at his welcoming and professional approach. Although he never pushed us to make any decisions we weren’t comfortable with, he provided us with an immense amount of knowledgeable information about the market that helped us decide when and what to buy. We are extremely grateful to him and his team for going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and ready to purchase our first home. We are pleased to have developed a trusting relationship with Jeff, and look forward to working with him and his team in the future.

Jeff was an integral part of our transition to retirement. For the past 2 years he has kept us up-to-date on the KW market, always responding to our inquiries and took us out several times to view potential properties. When we finally contacted Jeff to move forward with moving to KW, we had a small window in which to find a property. His exemplary market knowledge and keen negotiation skills landed us our dream retirement condo during this difficult time.

Toni Parent

As a business professional with extremely limited time, I must say that Jeff Blackham was able to alleviate ALL of my concerns related to the purchase of my new home and took care of everything. He was on top of every listing that fell under my very strict search criteria and not only found me my new home, but did it within 30 minutes of being posted. He has made this experience flawless and easy and did it with ease and professionalism. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is seeking a realtor as he has exceeded my expectations in every way. Thanks again Jeff for the commitment to me and my experience throughout this journey!

Ginette Atkinson

My husband and I are grateful to have been introduced to Jeff Blackham through a personal friend, Krysta Hajovic, director of Operations at KW Realty. We were hesitant to put our house up for sale here in Waterford before our long distance move to Nanaimo BC where our sons and their families live. Jeff put our minds at ease regarding the timing of this sale in the midst of Covid. Our fears were assuaged by hi confident, professional and methodical interaction with us. He kept us informed of the process every step of the way. Upon our return from a 1 week respite, we wee overwhelmed by the number of viewings that our home received and the offers reflected how popular it was in today's market. We were most pleased with the final offer. The successful buyer will prove to be the perfect fit for our home and neighbourhood that we have cherished for the last 7 years. Thanks again, Jeff! On to greener pastures! Peter and Ginette Atkinson

Nina Jakovljevic

Enjoyed working with Jeff as first time homebuyers! Makes himself available anytime and is very responsive. As out-of-towners, we found it helpful to have an agent who could provide advice regarding neighbourhoods and make suggestions based on what we were looking for. He also worked to schedule viewings in blocks so we wouldn’t have to drive down as many times. Thanks again Jeff! Looking forward to our new home!

Timothy Hay

Anyone who has been there knows how exciting yet stressful buying your first home can be. But from day one, Jeff' Blackham's confidence and professionalism instantly eased my mind, because I knew I was working with someone who was extremely passionate about finding me my new home. Jeff Blackham is all about education, and as a first time homebuyer I had a lot to learn, and I am very appreciative at how detailed and knowledgeable he was. He truly takes you by the hand and patiently guides you from beginning to end, through the complicated process of buying a house. He is exceedingly thorough and thoughtful, and his personality and sense of humor made working with him a pleasure. Jeff Blackham takes great pride and fulfillment in helping you find your new home and I happily recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. I now have a place I love to call home.

Krysta Clark

My husband and I have been putting off moving for well over a year because we were very afraid of what we had heard about the Kitchener real estate market and were worried that we would never find a home that we loved but that was also within our budget. Getting connected with Jeff was one of those happy accidents to be honest and I could never say enough about our experience working with him. My husband and I are those people that got together later in life and have both moved too many times to count. We have both worked with our fair share of real estate agents... not one in our past even comes close to the level of professionalism or knowledge that we experienced with Jeff. That aside, he is also a stellar human being that we feel so lucky to have come in contact with. What we learned from Jeff is that despite a crazy real estate market there is such a thing as fair market value. Since Jeff knows his stuff and I mean really knows his stuff, he was able to help us secure the home of our dreams at a price we never imagined. We wanted someone on the ball, effici ent, honest, and who had our best interest in mind and at heart. We got all of that and more with Jeff. I have never seen someone prepare such an in depth price analysis of the home we wanted to buy that would justify our offer and in turn was the thing that hit a home run and got us OUR price. We are beyond excited about our new home and the new start ahead of us and both truly believe it would not have been possible with Jeff. He brings a passion to his role and it shows. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and we are so thrilled at how he represented us. Thank you Jeff! Thank you so very much!

Andrea Willfang

In an industry with many agents “playing” real estate agent, there are a select few, like Jeff Blackham, who are strongly engaged and pour everything into their business platform. That is just one of the reasons we chose Jeff to navigate us through the very difficult and emotional task of selling our childhood home. He went above and beyond to help lessen the load and make it easier on us, and it was greatly appreciated. He has a special gift for selling a home in a way that honours what the home has meant to you. In our first meeting, Jeff stood apart, by how prepared, detailed, and thorough he was. This was evident when he brought an extremely in-depth analysis of our home, including an 82-point action plan, and then took the time to go over every single detail. Jeff’s platform included more open houses than traditionally provided, extensive marketing approaches, and great connections with other people in the industry with the same level of integrity and service. Jeff was approachable and reliable, and would always return our call, email, or text promptly. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone who wants an agent who will put in the research, effort, and resources to achieve the best possible result with care. The Harmer Family

Jeff has a strong commitment towards his client which is difficult to find these days. He helped us identify objectives for our investment property and gave sound advise on whether properties were going to meet our criteria. He clearly wanted a win for us and to build a long term relationship versus trying to make a quick sales - he was honest in his assessments and laid out transparently any pitfalls (and advantages) of making offers for potential properties. Jeff has very strong knowledge of the Kitchener / Waterloo areas which was our focus to buy and helped land a fantastic deal!

Zaneta Bristow

Jeff Blackham and Tyler Little from Keller Williams are amazing! We have bought and sold several times over the last few years in Cambridge Ontario and recently decided to try them out to sell our renovated home. Together they make an amazing team of volume and finesse. The property was marketed well, with a great video, posted in multiple real estate boards for maximum visibility. We couldn’t be happier with the results of the sale of our home. We had over 100 showings in 1 week, 14 offers, and sold well over asking. They met and exceeded all of our expectations and I would recommend them to anyone. My main piece of advise would be to let them take the lead with pricing and marketing, it’s hard to give up control, but they are the experts and the strategy works! Thanks guys for a great result and the first of many.

Linda

We found Jeff to be extremely knowledgeable, very detailed and professional! Jeff exceeded our expectations!

Valerie Kriter

Selling my property with Keller Williams. It was a fairly quick and simple process. Jeff and Andrea took care of my listing and sale. They both took the time with me to answer all of my questions I had and walk me through the process of listing my property to the sale of my property. They checked in with me every few days to make sure I was doing ok through the process, because it can be quite stressful, and also to answer any questions I had if any had come up. When listing I was asked questions about what my goals were around the property and hopes to achieve with the sale. Jeff and Andrea made sure to achieve the goals set out for my property and even came out a little bit more than the goal! What more can a person ask for. The process was made as easy and comfortable for me as it could possibly be. They kept me in the loop the entire time and they came through on everything they said they would from the day of signing the contract to marketing my property to selling in a quick time frame to even working on getting the closing date around what I needed. I would definatly work with Keller Williams again and would recommend their services.

Katie Saye

Jeff has been an excellent real estate agent; from the beginning of our journey as prospective buyers, to our first month of being homeowners, Jeff has demonstrated patience, market knowledge and proficient negotiating skills. While Jeff has many redeeming qualities that make him a well rounded agent, his authenticity makes him unique. My partner and I never felt pressured to make a decision, and above all, we felt validated and supported by Jeff in every step along the way. In the end, not only did we find our dream home, but with Jeff's keen negotiating skills, we purchased for well under the asking price. With enough left in our bank accounts for renovations, Jeff paused his personal home project to allow the contractor of his recommendation to work immediately on our new home; this gesture truly speaks to Jeff's character and is a reflection of the outstanding service we received.

Miriam Houghton

Jeff Blackham is the kind of realtor that everyone needs when buying or selling a house.He helped me sell my 7th home and was by far the best. He knows exactly what to do in any given situation. Ten days before the closing date a large brown spot was located in the ceiling of the livingroom.He just told me not to worry and he would deal with the problem. We closed on time.Jeff is very conscientious, puts his clients' minds at ease and goes that extra mile to help.He even drove me around the city helping me to find an apartment. Jeff Blackham is an excellent negotiator so was able to obtain the price that I wanted. He is cognizant of all the legalities in buying or selling property.My lawyer told me how lucky I was to be working with Jeff as he knows what he is doing. Quite an endorsement!

Joe White

We appreciated Jeff's detailed explanation on the whole buying and selling process. Our experience with buying in Ontario was very limited and Jeff made it easy for us to understand. Jeff always goes above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. He managed to sell our house (after buying it a year ago) at a top price well over our expectations. We also worked with another member of Jeff's team, Andrea, during the purchasing process. Andrea was also very professional and went above and beyond to provide support; we could tell a part of her professionalism was due to Jeff's mentorship. We highly recommend Jeff and his team.

Robert Newton

Jeff Blackham...is a realtor that definitely has his finger on the pulse of the market. We have been contemplating selling our home but hadnt made any definite plans. We invited Jeff to present his plan to sell and by the end of it were convinced that it was right for us. He suggested, if possible, to vacate the house the initial week. He anticipated much interest in our home and he was correct. From arranging staging, anticipating sale activity, maintaining our home while we were away....all went smoothly and contributed to offers being received in 7 days. Twelve offers and selling 16% over our asking price!Do yourself a favour if you are considering a real estate sale or purchase, call Jeff.

Nathaniel Groendyk

Jeff Blackham has been an amazing Realtor from the very start! We’ve loved the time he took to walk us through the education cycle of what the market is like and what to expect through various stages of buying a house. I remember when we met the first time in an open house, we were a bit bummed and overwhelmed about the whole “buying a house” thing, but Jeff got talking with us and we immediately hit-it-off. Later he was patient with us, educated us, and was very transparent on what his goals were as we moved forward to finding the place we were looking for. He helped us navigate the pricing rigours as well as helped us find the cusp of "what we wanted" to "what we could afford" (and not become house poor). Jeff has been a great Realtor and has become a great friend. Even with our ideas for reno's he was able to point us in meaningful directions to various contractors he knew and online resources. We loved working with him and would do so again in a heart-beat. Seriously we lucked-out bumping into him!

Alanna Chalk

Working with Tyler was such a positive experience for us. From the beginning, he was dedicated to us and helped us understand every step of the process. He worked with our busy schedules and seamlessly made the process easier for us. We highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for their next home.

Samantha Forte

We first met Jeff in 2018 when he helped us buy our first condo. We knew we could count on him again when it came time to sell and look for our next family home. Jeff is quick to communicate, is knowledgeable and professional. He kept us hopeful in a difficult market and we are so happy with the outcome! It’s always a pleasure working with Jeff and his team. - Samantha Forte & Erik Veiledal

Kelly Dow

When my husband and I decided to sell our home we chose Jeff because of his great reviews. We met with Jeff and he was very professional and prepared with extensive knowledge of the neighbourhood, and market trends. He provided excellent advise in order for us to present our home to its best advantage. Not being very handy with tools, Jeff changed out all of our door handles for us. This was just one of many examples of Jeff "going above and beyond" for us. In the end, Jeff's extensive knowledge of the market, allowed us to sell our home for well over the asking price. Thank you Jeff, I highly recommend you to anyone who wants to sell their home quickly, stress free, and for the best possible price.

Rasha Abusitta

We were so fortunate to have found Jeff Blackham as our Realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price thorough his well round knowledge of home construction and the local market. Every time we viewed a new property Jeff would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, insulation, etc. Jeff also led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. In the end we found the property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far. The best part about working with Jeff was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good and honest advice, and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. We were impressed with Jeff's professionalism and his genuine interest in assuring we were satisfied with our final decision on our new place. We would recommend him to anyone.

Bryce Blackmore

As first-time home buyers we really didn't know where to begin. Especially because we didn't know any realtors with experience in the KW area. Therefore, we were so happy that we found Jeff. After our first meeting with him, we felt confident and knew right away we had found the right realtor. Having Jeff as our realtor really eased our minds. He knew that we needed to find a home within a short period of time and made us feel like priority. Although, he never pressured us to decide and allowed us to take our time when viewing properties. We were astounded by how much knowledge he brought to the table. This knowledge helped us make educated decisions and made us feel even more comfortable with our decision. Jeff also went above and beyond for us by finding us a place to rent since our closing date ended up being a couple months away. Purchasing a new home should be an exciting experience and Jeff made sure of it. He really helped us keep the positivity throughout the entire process, even though we were buying in a very competitive market. Ultimately, we are so happy to have met Jeff. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor. -Siobhan and Bryce

ashleigh colquhoun

Being that my husband and I were relatively new to the real estate market, we found ourselves in very capable, patient and knowledgeable hands with, Jeff. He did everything he said he would and more. He worked very hard, was very thorough and creative in getting us far beyond what we expected for our property. We continue to deal with, Jeff, and look forward to further transactions with him as our representative.

Carol Stephenson

We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff for several years now, and that included purchases and sales. We entrusted Jeff with the sale of our rental property knowing that he would understand the market situation and guide us in preparing the property to make the biggest impact in the market. We highly recommend Jeff. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and effective in negotiations. We also highly recommend Beyond the Stage Homes stagers. Jeff connected us to this company.
