Testimonial — listening to clients

“Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful time but Dan makes the process go as smooth and hassle-free as possible. I particularly appreciated how he made my father feel comfortable and at ease with selling his home of 40 years (not an easy feat!). Dan is knowledgeable and professional yet warm and compassionate. He always takes the time to listen to his clients to better understand their needs and will always give his honest opinion without judgement or pressure. I have worked with many real estate agents in Ottawa and Toronto and Dan is by far the best. Thank you, Dan!”

Ed and Eileen’s Testimonial

We would totally recommend Dan to be your real estate agent. We appreciated Dan’s competent and thoughtful approach from when we first contemplated selling our home… until the moment we accepted an offer. Each step in the selling process was seamless. Dan always listened to and respected our needs in a warm and friendly way, and always delivered good professional advice in a timely manner.

His staging team and house inspector were also a delight to work with.

Dan helped us to ENJOY this emotional process. We have come out the other end extremely satisfied home sellers.

Thank you, Dan!

Kristen’s Testimonial

As first time homebuyers, my partner and I valued Dan’s knowledge of the real estate market and his guidance on how to best leverage our situation in the face of a challenging market during the pandemic. He shared with us his breadth of knowledge on the many factors to consider as well as his clear explanation of the home buying process. He made us feel we had the best information we could have to support our decision. We are so happy with our home purchase and enjoyed working with Dan. And he was super responsive and always available!

Sarah & Andrea’s Testimonial

Thanks Dan Moloughney for such a great home buying experience! We are moving to our new home in September and we are so excited about that!
If you are thinking about buying a home in the Ottawa area definitely contact Dan and you will work with an agent who cares and listens. He will not skip any showing, he will advise what is the reasonable price to offer and because of his engineering background and experience in renovations he will highlight any benefit or issue with the property. You will not regret it!

T&P West’s Testimonial

Finding the right realtor to sell our house was not a simple task. Only after lengthy research did we settle on Dan Moloughney. Dan’s professional, businesslike, yet imaginative approach to the task was exactly what we were looking for. We engaged him and were not disappointed. From the initial paperwork involved, to the preparation of the house, to the ultimate sale, all decisions were made in a collaborative way. Every evening during the seven-day showing period we received an update on that day’s activity and bookings for the following day. Should we ever have need for a realtor again, we would have no hesitation in signing on with Ottawa Urban Realty. We highly recommend Dan Moloughney.

Margaret’s Testimonial

Dan was indefatigable in helping me find a home during the pandemic. As a detail-oriented first time home buyer, I especially appreciated his extensive knowledge of real estate, his balanced explanations of pros and cons of different houses, and his patience in explaining multiple aspects of the home buying process.

M.S.

OUTCAN Testimonial

We had Dan help us sell a place 3 years ago, and now buy one in the craziest seller’s market I’ve ever seen. I have highly recommended him to my colleagues for both buying and selling based on the critical value he added in decision making and timeliness. Dan will give logical inputs and great analytical support to the hard decisions that come with selling and buying a house and will give you great honest and data-driven feedback on your decisions. He also worked many hours over the Easter Weekend, even during his son’s 18th birthday, with immediate responses to any questions or queries we gave him no matter the time. Not only did we have to buy in a crazy seller’s market, but we also had to buy from a different province. Dan drove well out of the Ottawa area and gave us honest feedback with virtual showings, pointing out things most would skip. The trust we had in Dan allowed us to skillfully maneuver in the incredibly unfortunate situation and purchase a place at asking, while others were all paying hundreds of thousands of dollars over. They should have went with Dan at Ottawa Urban Realty!

Sally O’s Testimonial

This is the fourth house that Dan has helped us sell or buy.  As always he is the perfect agent with knowledgeable, helpful, honest, and timely advice.  He helps you through the whole process and presents all the options that you have in selling or buying.  Very patient, with a gentle sense of humour and practical ideas.  This time was a very sensitive family matter and he was a stable rock in a tornado of emotional storms.  We were so pleased with our over-priced offer.  Highly recommended.  Sally

Sarah & Zach’s Testimonial

We did not have to work with Dan for very long, which is probably indicative of what a good agent he is in the 2020 real estate market. He was very professional, knowledgeable and was a joy to work with. He was available to us throughout the day for my incessant first time home buyer questions and acted as a great “teacher” to us throughout a process that we knew nothing about. We will definitely contact him again when it is time for an upgrade!

Thanks again, Sarah

Rahul’s Testimonial

We had been searching for a house for a very long time, and had originally engaged Dan in 2009. For first time buyers, a house purchase can seem overwhelming, however Dan helped guide us through the process, also being patient as we became familiar with the Ottawa market, taking into consideration our needs, as well as the growth of our family.
Dan was very honest and direct, traits that I truly valued in a real estate agent, I always felt that he had our best interest when representing us, always making time for viewings and prioritizing our needs. I would recommend Dan for anyone looking to buy in the Ottawa housing market.

Rob C’s Testimonial

My wife and I were looking to sell our house. We contacted Dan. He was fantastic, not only did he walk us through each step of the process, he was always available to answer any of our questions. He knows what he’s talking about and it shows. He helped us with simple ideas to improve the value our home. We sold our home for more than we expected and Dan was with us the whole way. He took care of every detail and explained them clearly. Dan’s the man!”

– Ed K.

Ruth’s Testimonial

“I had no idea what a huge difference a good realtor makes! Dan’s experience, knowledge, professionalism and calm demeanor were extremely helpful during the sale of my current home, and purchase of a new one, especially in today’s highly competitive seller’s market. I greatly appreciated how generous Dan was with his time; he was quick to respond to questions, set up viewings, and prepare offers to purchase, which ultimately led to the successful purchase of a new home. I would highly recommend Dan. No fluff, just really good advice and support.”

Ruth

Elsie’s Testimonial

“I first met Dan over 14 years ago when I purchased my townhouse. He is knowledgeable on the real estate market and all the ins and outs of purchasing a home. I appreciated his objective advice and support in my decision making. He’s kept in contact over the years and was always helpful when I had questions or sought information. This spring I decided to put my townhouse on the market and called on Dan to help guide me though selling a townhouse during a pandemic. The townhouse sold for asking in 10 days and now I’m set for the next life adventure. Not only do I appreciate Dan’s integrity but he’s also a nice guy. I would recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for a realtor.”
Elsie — Lowertown

David Whitmore’s Testimonial

I have bought 3 homes & sold 1 with Dan over the coarse to 20 years. I keep going back to him as he is professional & adds a personal touch, for example his own deep dive videos of my selling property. The buying is the easy part & the selling of a home can difficult, stressful & frustrating. Dan is extremely knowledgeable, professional  & was  very helpful in every regard, hence I am still married & looking forward to our new home. To sum it up, I am ecstatic with his team & would recommend him to all.

Best Regards, David Whitmore

Working with Dan -- Testimonial with Aaron

Aaron’s Video Testimonial — Working with Dan

In the video below Aaron explains why he recommends Dan for real estate services.

Aaron has used my services twice over the last 8 years to buy investment properties. He had used another realtor prior to that, but in the end wasn’t happy with the service.
Luckily, Aaron’s neighbour recommended me. I had helped his neighbour buy several properties over the years.

I really enjoyed working with Aaron and look forward to working with him again.

Aaron, thank you for the video testimonial!!!

Dan…knows the market particularly well in Centretown, Glebe, Ottawa East and Ottawa South. He is very knowledgeable, pays attention to detail, offered good advice/ strategies and is easy to get along with. I was quite pleased with all aspects of the listing and sale of my place.

RP

Moving with the military is one of the worst administrative nightmares imaginable. You can not afford a realtor that is anything less than perfect. Dan stuck out to me in the BGRS database due to his education as a computer engineer, his experience as a realtor and that he decided to start his own business. Although I had high expectations, Dan still managed to blow them away. He paid for several services that increased the value of my property from his own pocket and was available every hour no matter the day. Based on previous experiences, I felt that realtors did barely anything and you had to do all the work – turns out I was just selecting bad ones!

Amy Argentino

I had the pleasure of working with Jean Marc on the purchase of my first home. As a first time buyer, the process seemed daunting but with Jean Marc’s help, each step was so easy. From the first call to discuss what I was looking for, to setting up visits and driving me around the city, discussing my options, walking me through all the paperwork, recommending a mortgage broker, negotiating the perfect deal…Jean Marc was there! Always professional, knowledgeable, personable, keeping an optimistic but realistic outlook on the process; I could not have asked for a better agent. I would recommend Jean Marc to anyone and will definitely look to him for help when I sell my current home and buy the next one.

Amy Argentino

Rodney & Kristina

Jean Marc was instrumental in helping us navigate the real estate market both as first-time home buyers and, later, as real estate investors. His keen eye for recognizing the hidden potential in properties has been honed over years of buying, renovating and selling many of his own properties. With his expertise and guidance, Jean Marc has helped us to select and purchase 3 properties, each of which were converted into successful income-producing properties. His excellent advice and recommendations were always appreciated; not just during the purchase process, but during the renovation process as well. Thank you, Jean Marc!

Rodney & Kristina

Mike Wynnyk

I had the challenge of finding a good family home with the potential for a rental unit, on a rather limited budget. Jean Marc came through with flying colours! Not only is he very knowledgeable about the Ottawa Real Estate market he also has extensive experience in developing properties for rental and resale. He has a real knack for identifying properties with developmental potential and then quickly sorting the good from the bad. This saved me much time, money and headache!

On the money side, Jean Marc knows value when he sees it and is very resourceful and strategic in his negotiations. He got me a great deal on a great property.

Respectful, professional, diligent and patient. Jean Marc made the experience of searching, evaluating and ultimately purchasing a very enjoyable one and I am happy to recommend him to my best friends and family.

Daniela Petretta

Dan is an honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly realtor. As a first time buyer, I had so many questions about the neighbourhood, the type and the value of the home that I should buy. Dan patiently and promptly answered ALL of my questions to my total satisfaction and he was available any time I wanted to view a house. When necessary, he made me his priority and as a result I won a bidding war on a big, beautiful, turn-key home that meets all of my family’s needs. I look forward to working with Dan again in the future when my children have grown, I have retired and I am ready to down-size.

Dan made the stressful process of selling my condo and buying a new home understandable and enjoyable.  He responded to my many questions in a timely and complete manner, helped me weigh pros and cons of different options, set up viewings with speed, and reminded me of my objectives when I needed it.  I would recommend Dan to anyone looking to sell or purchase property in Ottawa’s downtown.

Jen & Keith

Dan Moloughney at Ottawa Urban Realty is terrific at what he does.  If you have the pleasure of working with Dan, you can rest assured you are in good hands.  Dan worked with my wife and I to find our first home and it is perfect for us, we couldn’t be happier.  The things that impressed me most about Dan are that he is extremely reliable.  He is very smart and he is honest.  He genuinely cared about our wants and needs.  This being our first home purchase, we had lots of questions and it took time for us to figure out exactly what we wanted in a home.  Dan took us through countless houses and always gave us his honest feedback about each of the places we visited.  Dan’s many years of experience in real estate have made him an expert.

Danielle and Kyle

Dan answered all of our questions quickly, directly and honestly. He was easy to work with and took initiative to address our concerns. In particular, as a selling agent, the staging of our condo was exceptional and as a buying agent he would point out issues or opportunities that we wouldn’t have thought of. We would certainly recommend him

Jane A., Westboro

Dan was a great realtor and made the stressful process of buying a house as smooth as possible.  He quickly figured out what I was looking for and had a lot of knowledge of the downtown areas I was interested in.  Dan has a straightforward approach and was great at walking me through various scenarios and helping me figure out what was the right house for me.  Being new to Ottawa I relied heavily on Dan’s knowledge of the market and Ottawa area and have no regrets.

Sarah R., the Glebe

Dan Moloughney got us full price and our chosen closing date in less than 4 days!

We chose Dan Moloughney as our agent after interviewing another because we knew he would give us the personal attention and energy that only the owner of a smaller realty can provide.   Dan knows the market and the neighbourhood well; proof of this is that the price he suggested provoked immediate interest and our first offer within hours!

His marketing strategies (arranging a pre-listing home inspection; hiring a professional real estate photographer; writing an appealing listing; producing high-quality flyers and photo sheets) were not even offered by another realty.  We’ve a very busy household, yet Dan made selling our house easy and …. even enjoyable !

Sarah R., the Glebe

Richard

Dan is the great realtor not merely for his knowledge, patience, business acumen and common sense, although he certainly does possess all those attributes.  What makes Dan a great realtor is his genuine and sincere nature – with Dan, you truly know that he is working to help you realize your real estate goals.  Because he is such a genuine person, he is a realtor who is straightforward, professional, kind and always trustworthy.  It is without reservation that I would recommend Dan and his team at Ottawa Urban Realty Inc.  Thank you Dan!

Super happy new condo owner D.N.

Thank you both for your emails earlier this week, I am guessing that you know by now that everything went smoothly since you haven’t heard back from me yet!

Thank you so much for everything Lori, you made this experience wonderful. Your professionalism, kindness and consideration towards your clients is unparalleled.

I wanted to thank you for all your help and patience and expertise you gave us when we were looking for our home. As first time home buyers we really did not know what we were doing or what to look for, we just knew what we wanted to have in a house, you and David helped us out tremendously and pointed out all negative and positive things in homes we went to see. We finally found the house we loved and are nicely settling in…

Sarah Wheeler

Dan recently represented me in both the purchase of my new home and the subsequent sale of my previous home. I was in a multiple offer situation for the purchase of my new home. With Dan’s advice and professional representation I feel very comfortable with the offer that we put forth and am confident that I did not pay any more than was necessary. With regard to the sale of my previous home, I was looking for a quick sale at fair market price. Having made the simple changes that Dan suggested to stage my home, I had an offer the day my house was listed. On Dan’s advice, I countered the offer twice and within 24 hours the purchaser accepted our offer. I would not hesitate to use Dan again, nor to recommend him to friends. He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, gave me solid advice and responded quickly to all of my many questions.

Ben and Melanie

We were always toying with the thought of buying a home, but had always dragged our feet in starting the process. Since we were first-time home buyers, we were very excited to find a home, but weren’t really sure what to look out for. When we were introduced to Gloria, she quickly explained the home-buying process, deduced our needs, and listed off an assortment of homes that we could visit the very next day. With the help of her husband Dave, who was equally informative, we managed to see 6 homes that weekend, and 6 more with Gloria the next. In two weeks time, we found the perfect home. We felt informed and extremely confident about our decision. With Gloria’s help, we made an offer and closed the deal. We didn’t think buying a home was so easy; Gloria just made it seem that way.

Ben and Melanie

Marie

I do have a little something for you too since you made this whole process a great adventure for me. I thank you for all your time, energy and patience. You are certainly an expert at what you do and you demonstrated that expertise every step of the way. I am now really starting to get excited about the move. This is a new page in my life and thanks for being part of it. I’ll pop in your office this week sometimes, or next week at the latest. Thanks again,

Diana Young

The prospect of purchasing my first home was a very daunting one; however, Gloria Bae’s low-pressure approach made my search for a house a very positive experience. She was very informative and attentive, and really seemed to care about finding the right house to suit my needs. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
