I have known Jen Bedar for over 10 years. She is a determined, reliable, authentic person who genuinely cares about her clients. She is so personable and an attentive listener, just an overall delight! Family is very important to her so she will work her hardest to find the right home for your family. I highly recommend her!

I found Jen through other reviewers here and she exceeded my expectations. Lots of patience, and picks up on what you're looking for quickly. She found me a move-in ready home within a few weeks of meeting and I couldn't be happier. She also helped accommodate a quicker than average closing date given my upcoming vacation plans. Thanks Jen!

Being first time home buyers, my husband and I took some time to search for the right agent. The moment we spoke with Jen we knew she was our match! She’s very down to earth, professional, knowledgeable and amazing to work with. She walked us through each and every single offer we put in, when we seen a house as a drive by, we sent her the address and she would get us in right away as well as gathered ALL information regarding the specific property and even the area! We could not have worked with a better agent, and there’s no possible way there are any agents better than her in real estate:) she was very good with also matching the housing listings with everything we were looking for in a home and what she thought we would like. She recommended us as well to a great mortgage broker, we are just completely blown away by the experience we had with Jen. We will be recommending her to everyone we know and be using her for our next home purchase! Anyone who chooses Jen will NOT be disappointed with her as their realtor. Thank you so much for finding us our home, especially in such little time!

Thank you Jen for a great and easy sale of our house. We were very comfortable with you driving the bus on this. All Jen's recommendations and advice helped make this sale smooth and simple for us. Jen is very helpful and professional, always a text or call away. Very impressed with all shes the work does that goes into the sale of a house. Will definitely recommend to everyone!

We were very fortunate to have Jen Bedard as our agent in selling our home. She is a consummate professional and always available to communicate with us via text, phone, or email. She kept us well informed on what to expect every step of the way. She is clearly committed to her clients and well prepared. There are no shortage of realtors to choose from but Jen stands out in her professionalism, preparation, and dedication. Robert & Jessica

Jen was great to work with. Selling a home isn't an easy task and she helped us accomplish our goal. Her marketing scheme is great, the drone video really helped showcase our home and neighbourhood, and all of the pictures were terrific! Jen has been very helpful with the entirety of the moving process. We are thankful to have found her!

My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Jen Bedard to help my mom find a home in St.Catharine's. We found Jen's website through google and I am so grateful that we did. Initially, I was really drawn to her website because of how easy it was to navigate and book an appointment online. Once we booked an appointment, she called us right away to find out what we were looking for in a house. She immediately started sending us listings THAT NIGHT. I was amazed! She is so professional, organized and on the ball with everything. She sent us listings daily and kept checking in with us to gauge how we were feeling about the process. Because we live in Toronto and are not familiar with St.Catharine's at all, Jen took the time to show us all around the different areas of St.Catharine's, which was so kind and thoughtful of her. Jen is also super quick to respond to messages and calls. I can't even count the number of times that I texted her to ask her if we could view houses last minute and she did not hesitate to make that happen. She really is so patient and dedicated to her job, she bends over backwards to ensure that you get everything you want in a house. She is so knowledgeable and her advice is always so spot on (and trust me, we asked for her advice a lot)! And in the end, she got us the house we loved for the price we wanted! She advocated and fought for what we wanted all the way through. Thank you so much, Jen, for all of your patience, hard work and dedication! You are such an amazing and genuine person. I cannot to wait to work with you again in the future!

Meghan Meechan

Jen is a real estate superstar! My fiancé and I were referred to Jen by our mortgage broker Carey Benvenuti and it’s been such a pleasure working with her! Jen was truly invested in finding us our family home. Jen listened to what we wanted and was patient with us as we viewed a bunch of houses until we found the perfect one. The whole process was overwhelming as we were first time homebuyers, but Jen put us at ease by guiding us through all of the steps and teaching us about the housing market. She’s always a quick message away to help whenever we need. Her fun personality and professionalism is something that will stick with us for years as we are very appreciative of her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

Voracious in her approach to satisfy client's needs is what I would say about Jen Bedard. Particular and dedicated to detail is how Jen goes about securing the best for her clients. I cannot see anyone being disappointed in securing Jen as their representative.

Hayley Gaudet

My parents just recently used Jen to sell their house. I recommended her and they were not disappointed at all. She was very accommodating and knowledgable on the real estate market. Not only was the house sold quick, but she gave suggestions throughout the process so that it wasn't confusing. By the end of the sale, she will feel like a longtime friend because of her down to earth personality and honesty. I definitely would not hesitate to recommend her again and use her services in the future.

Stefanie Mockridge

Working with Jen was such a pleasure! We had very specific search parameters for what we were looking for, and Jen was always attentive and aware of our needs, only focusing on what would ultimately work for us. When we felt like we wouldn’t find what we needed, her patience was unparalleled. She had every confidence that we would find what we needed and we did! Thank you, Jen, for understanding us and working with us so patiently. We will definitely be using you in the future and referring our family and friends!

We also appreciate the hard work that you did for us, and always responded so quick.

We are more than happy and recommend Jen to family and friends who are looking to purchase your dream home Thanks Jen you for always being available in this tough time specially.

Ashley Drysdale

Amazing! So helpful, patience, knowledgeable, understanding, and compassionate but determined all at the same time! Jen knows the importance of the perfect home and understands that each family needs that "just right" home that they can call theirs. Thank you for being so helpful and patient! We love our home and couldn't have done it without your expertise. I highly recommend Jen Bedard to everyone.

Jackie Anderson

What a wonderful experience dealing with Jen Bedard! She was perfectly on point for us selling our home from the unbeleivable write-up for the feature sheets to perfect pricing to make our home sell fast for over asking! I highly reccomend her for the sale of ANY property. We will definitely be using her again if we move!

Jacky Graveline

Jen's positive attitude makes her great to work with!

Lisa Bridgeman

Jen Bedard What can we say about Jen that will allow one to see how pleased both Fred and myself are with the excellent service that she provided to us! So many things in fact! We met Jen several months prior to our finally finding the house that we were looking for. Make no mistake, Jen’s work was cut out for her! We had a very long list of boxes that we wanted/needed to be checked off if we were going to be able to consider a house. When we met Jen at an open house, we had not yet put our long time family home on the market in Hamilton. We were in the midst of preparing it for sale … heart wrenching for me, but we were about to retire and needed to downsize. So Jen spent an initial first day with us, introducing us to the Niagara region in several areas as we were not certain exactly where in the region we wanted to eventually live. Over the next few months, while we prepared and put our house on the market, she took us to view homes between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and everywhere in between. I personally had an inground pool on my wish list. I really didn’t feel that we would be able to find a home that would fit all our demands AND a pool … but Jen never gave up on my little dream … she of course advised us to look at all possibilities with or without the pool, which we appreciated as anyone who has purchased a home knows that one must be flexible and consider all options and be open minded yet firm in your expectations. Jen was ever so patient with our search. As it turned out, our house in Hamilton due to its uniqueness took quite a while to sell, and in that time period Fred and I changed our search criteria a few times in terms of area. One would think that would test Jen’s patience ... but no! She took it in her stride and kept the search going. At that point we were feeling very appreciative of the time she had thus far spent with us. We do believe truly that she had gone above and beyond the call of duty when it came to her time that she so graciously gave us. We are very aware that we are probably her longest searching clients! In the end, we are SO very pleased with the house we finally found! It checks off ALL the boxes! (My husband is now going to be my new pool boy!) There are no words that would suffice to thank Jen for all the time and hard work she put into our house search. Moving from one city to another that you are not familiar with is rather overwhelming and you worry about whether you are making the right decision. But Jen’s extensive knowledge of the Niagara region and always keeping our needs and desires in mind really culminated in our purchasing this new home for us. It is the perfect place for us to be as we move into this new chapter of our lives. Thank you so very much Jen for being there for us! It has been quite an experience and we are thankful you were the one to lead us through. Should any prospective clients happen to read this endorsement, we want to voice that they would find in you a very hard working realtor who keeps her clients’ needs and desires topmost in her endeavors to achieve whatever goals they have in mind. We can say with absolute certainty that whether they are selling or buying, you are most worthy of their consideration. Fred and Lisa Bridgeman

Jen was fearless at any challenge that came her way when selling and buying our property! We had the pleasure of working with Jen for not only the Sale of our Property but in the purchase of our new property as well. She is a true professional that takes her passion for real estate very seriously. She is honest, dependable and 100% authentic. I have been following her career as an agent and I was confident that using her as our Real Estate agent was the right choice. Selling our first house and finding our “forever home” was an emotional experience for us, filled with highs and lows, but when it came down to the hard work, Jen got it done and SOLD! She negotiated to get us our dream home and knew exactly how to make it happen. We are very grateful to have Jen as our Real Estate Agent and we can’t thank her enough for making everything happen!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN!!????

On a very cold day this past January, my husband and I found ourselves at McGarr Realty and introduced to Jen. We live outside the province but have been searching for a place to retire. Jen generously gave of her time to speak with us; determine what we were looking for and even set up a viewing of one the houses we were interested in. She continued to go above and beyond the call of duty as she had to become our eyes and feet to search for our dream retirement home (we do not live close to St. Catharines). A few months later, we found it! Thanks, Jen.

Jen did a great job of selling my home in a difficult time (covid)! She was there for me every step of the way, from beginning to end. Savvy and professional. She is a great communicator--she answers texts, emails and phone calls without delay and is willing to answer any and all questions. She is punctual and shows up when she says she will! If you are looking for a great, reliable, trustworthy realtor who gets the job done look no further! I highly recommend her!!
