Selected reviews
What clients say
“Bo walked us through every step of buying our first home — pre-approval, FHSA, neighbourhood research, offer strategy. He never pressured us and answered messages on weekends. We closed on a townhome in Kanata Lakes well under what the bank had qualified us for.”
Sarah K.
First-time buyer · Kanata Lakes
“We sold our Orléans semi and bought a detached in Avalon Encore through Bo. Listed Thursday, four offers Tuesday, sold over asking. On the buy side he negotiated $18,000 in upgrades on a new build. He genuinely runs the numbers for you.”
Marc D.
Move-up buyer & seller · Orléans
“Bo spoke Mandarin with my parents and English with me, which made a huge difference. He explained Ontario contracts line by line and warned us about builder upgrade markups before we signed. We feel like we were genuinely represented, not just sold to.”
Wei L.
Newcomer to Ottawa · Barrhaven (Half Moon Bay)
