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.

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.

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.

Newcomer to Ottawa · Barrhaven (Half Moon Bay)

Selling a heritage home in the Glebe is its own world. Bo knew the comps street by street, brought a stager and photographer who understood the architecture, and we closed firm in 11 days at 102% of list. Calm, prepared, and zero drama.

Seller · The Glebe

I've worked with three Ottawa agents on rental purchases. Bo is the only one who modelled cash flow with realistic vacancy, maintenance and management assumptions before I wrote an offer. We passed on two properties and bought the right one.

Andrew T.

Investor · Westboro

We bought pre-construction at a Mattamy release. Bo got us into the platinum stage, reviewed the APS clause by clause, and pushed back on three line items the builder happily removed. Felt like having a lawyer and a coach at the table.

Pre-construction buyer · Riverside South

We relocated from Toronto for a federal job. Bo set up MLS alerts the same day, drove us through five neighbourhoods, and gave us the honest pros and cons of each. We landed in Stittsville and couldn't be happier with the school catchment.

Bo flagged a condo I loved as a bad financial fit because the reserve fund was thin and a special assessment was coming. He was right — and he found me a better building two weeks later. That's the kind of advice you can't get from a listing page.
