Maureen and I would like to express our gratitude for the excellent job that you, Shannon and your team have done in the entire process of the sale of our house.  It culminated in the sale being completed within one week from being listed. We feel that the whole process was handled in an efficient and professional manner. The final result was a quick sale at a very completive price.  Again, many thanks to you and your team.  We would not hesitate to recommend your team to anyone that is looking for a professional organization to handle their real estate needs.  Many thanks.

Bob & Maureen

It only took ten days to sell our existing home and purchase a new one, thanks in large part to the expertise of Jim and Shannon. They provided unfailing support throughout the whole process, from offering market value and staging advice, to recommending a lawyer to finding a professional who could come on short notice to paint the upstairs of our home. They walked us through each step of our journey with kindness and good humour and we are very grateful. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Ann & Alex

We have recently decided to move from our town home to a rental condo in Waterloo. We were most fortunate to obtain the services of Jim McIntyre and Shannon Treadwell of Re/Max Solid Gold Realty. Moving can be a traumatic experience, especially for people like us who have been in our home for more than 20 years. Jim and Shannon proved to be absolutely first-class in helping us make the transition. They have been professional, efficient, helpful, and considerate in all aspects of the transactions of selling our property and making the transition to our new home.

We are grateful to Jim and Shannon and will be delighted to recommend them to any of our friends and acquaintances who may be contemplating a similar move.

Howard and Maggie Dyck

I want to thank both Jim and Shannon for acting as our real-estate agents in our recent purchase of a condominium in Waterpark Place, and the subsequent selling of our house at Chippendale Common. This turned into a six-month process because it took a long time for Delbert and I to figure out exactly what we wanted, and an equally long time for a condo meeting our specifications to come on the market. You facilitated our search by bringing likely properties to our attention, you were always patient with our indecision and quick to arrange the next viewing, you acted with integrity throughout the process, and you always made it clear that we were in charge of this process.

Our contract with you provided for a consultation with a stager.  We were initially dubious about the value of this step, but the stager was highly competent and showed us how to depersonalize and neutralize our home, while respecting its traditional features.  It was because of your thorough knowledge of the local property market that we became aware of the condo we eventually bought.  And we certainly appreciated your acumen about the timing of putting our house on the market, and arranging the Open House that brought in 3 of the 4 offers we received.

As a result, the fine offer we accepted for our home was well above the asking price.

With sincere thanks,

Ruth and Delbert

Mike and I would like to thank you both for your consultative and successful approach to the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new home. You both did a tremendous job. The sale of our home was above the asking price in a market where most homes are being sold at asking or below asking price. We also bought our new home below asking price. These two factors were a great win for us.

You steered us through some tricky decisions. It was very clear how much you cared for our own long term interests and understood the needs of our family. Your support went way beyond just the mechanics of a selling and purchasing a new home. We know you both worked very hard. We had a great number of interested buyers and it’s a credit to your perseverance and dedication. Thank you so much and we’d be happy to share our personal experience with any of your potential clients.

Jenn & Mike Brooks

Jim and Shannon recently acted as our real estate agents for our purchase of a condominium in the Tree Tops Condominium located in North Waterloo.

They were always prompt to answer all of our questions and facilitated viewings with short notice. Jim and Shannon are professional and calm in their approach. They are confident which in turn makes their clients confident and at ease.

I would highly recommend the McIntyre Team to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate. They are pros! 

Thank you Jim and Shannon!

Sincerely, Brad and Marilyn Michael

Upon deciding to sell my first house, I asked some of the people I know for advice with finding a realtor. It was my father who suggested not just a realtor, but a team. Specifically, the McIntyre Team. Jim and Shannon walked me through the process and made sure I understood the contract, worked around my schedule, and that of my tenants. Like my father, I have to say, look no further than the McIntyre Team; not only did they make the process a breeze, but the final sale was beyond expectation! 

Samantha Chorley

My wife and I first contacted Jim McIntyre through his team’s website late on a Friday night after seeing a listing that caught our attention. The McIntyre team was recommended to us through a family friend, so we sent off an email expecting to hear back the next day. Within 10 minutes Jim called back!

He scheduled a viewing the following day at our convenience. The house wasn’t ultimately a good fit for us (or our budget), but Jim asked for our permission to schedule additional viewings the next day after reviewing our ‘wish list.’ Jim instilled a sense of calm and order into what is otherwise often a frenetic and gut-wrenching process in today’s real estate market. For example, he swiftly rescheduled our viewing times when a preemptive offer was made to ensure we had the opportunity to view one particular home, but we never felt rushed or pressured.

When we found the perfect home, Jim’s experience, professionalism and negotiating skills were evident. His communication with us was direct, timely and comforting through the entire process. Ultimately, we purchased our dream home as first-time buyers within 4 days from start to finish.

We would definitely recommend Jim McIntyre and Shannon Treadwell to potential buyers in the KW area.

Chad & Rebecca Rosart

We could not be happier with the services provided by Jim and Shannon.  We met Jim at an open house early in our house hunting adventure. We were struck by Jim’s warm and honest approach to real estate. We decided, then, that Jim was the agent for us. Jim and Shannon were supportive through months of searching; helping us hone our search criteria. Jim quickly arranged viewings and advocated for us as buyers. With Jim’s guidance and support we secured our dream home. When it came time to sell, Jim and Shannon, were excellent mentors for us as first-time sellers. Their recommendations and direction helped us show off the excellent features in our home. We were able to sell our home quickly, at fair market value, with our preferred closing date. We would strongly recommend the McIntyre Team with Re-Max Solid Gold Realty for any home buyers or sellers.

Ken and Catherine Diplock

Our family worked with Shannon and Jim to sell our family home. Both Shannon and Jim have gladly offered their help and professional guidance throughout the whole process, even during these challenging and unprecedented times. We truly appreciate their hard work ethic and dedication! Thank you for being such an amazing team!

Andreja, Francka & family

When I considered putting my house on the market after residing there for 24 years, I knew I needed to connect with an experienced real estate agent who could navigate the current market with confidence.  My experience was excellent!  Jim and Shannon met with my fiancé and me to explain the process and timeline.  They made us both feel comfortable with how today’s market works.  Within a week of that first meeting my house was listed, multiple showings done, offers taken and with guidance from Jim and with his negotiation skills, my house sold. My fiancé and I are extremely pleased with the price and the closing date we were hoping for.  Thank you, Jim and Shannon for your above and beyond teamwork!

Carol and Pat

I would like to thank Shannon Treadwell for all her help. She helped me purchase a condo in 2018, and when it became necessary to sell in 2021 due to the sudden loss of my wife, I turned to her.  It was because of her professionalism in the past, and also her kindness and compassion during this time.  She went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, designing a strategy to ensure the best results for me.  The condo sold in about a week, above asking price. During that time, she kept me up to date and informed on all the proceedings.

Again, I am so appreciative, and I would like to thank her for all she did. I would highly recommend her in the future to anyone.

Rick Stengel 

It was a pleasure working with someone as friendly, positive, and knowledgeable as Jim McIntyre. He remained sensitive and considerate of our needs and worked in a timely and professional manner. His years of experience and knowledge helped guide us, and gave us the confidence to feel secure in the decisions we were making. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience rather than an overwhelming one. We never felt rushed, pressured, or unsure. We felt like we were given all of the information we needed to make comfortable, informed decisions, that we will always feel good about. 

Janice and Alex

We would like to thank the McIntyre Team, Jim McIntyre and Shannon Treadwell, for the outstanding job they did on selling our home.

Our experience with Jim and Shannon was top notch.  From the first day we met to the day we signed the sale of our house, Jim and his team treated us as if we were family.  They listened to our questions and concerns and gave us their expertise without pressuring us to make fast decisions.

We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Peter and Louise Harrison

I recently sold my home through the McIntyre Team.  I was very impressed with Jim and Shannon and their professionalism.  Each step of the way they were always available to answer any of my questions.  It amazed me just how smooth and efficient everything went.  Jim and Shannon connected me with excellent home staging professionals.  This free consultation was perfect to guide us through decluttering and preparing my home for sale.

Lynda Lawlor

My husband and I recently purchased a house. This is the fourth time we've moved within Waterloo Region over a 21 year period, but the first time we had help from Shannon Treadwell. We would not hesitate to recommend Shannon for many reasons. She was extremely helpful and professional during a difficult time since Covid 19 was still a very real concern this summer. Shannon had everything ready to make us feel safe while we walked through the house. She was always accommodating in allowing us to meet with her to have another opportunity to walk through the house and was quick to follow up on our questions and concerns. Shannon really went above and beyond to help us. It was without question the smoothest purchase that we have ever had, and Shannon's hard work was the primary reason for this experience. Thanks Shannon!

Leanne and Chris Nighman

Kathryn and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Jim and Shannon for the ‘fantastic’ job you did in finding our new home and all the endless detailed follow ups to bring it all together! We are very impressed with the Service you have provided and excited about the move! Thanks for everything...

Frank & Kathryn Meissner 

I wanted to share a recent experience I had with Jim McIntyre and Shannon Tradwell to help me buy my home.  They were awesome people to work with - professional, attentive, caring, and bent over backwards to do whatever it took to get me my dream home. 

Shannon really went the extra mile to help with whatever paperwork and documents I needed. I can’t say enough about Jim and his willingness to take the time to show homes and answer all the questions that I had.

I love my new home, and thanks to Jim and Shannon at Re/Max, I'm sure I will enjoy it for a long time.  I would recommend them to anybody looking to buy or sell a property!

Richard Scott Wallace 

We selected The McIntyre Team as our agents to sell our home in October. They did a very thorough analysis of property values, historical sales and general pulse of the market. We then discussed and agreed upon a price including a range we’d be comfortable considering. The McIntyre Team was very thorough during visits and follow ups. They worked hard to get to know potential buyers and their agents and would follow up diligently on leads. Jim was always available and was very responsive to our requests and questions. Jim also assisted us with securing a rental after our property sold. It was a pleasure working with The McIntyre team. We certainly recommend their services to anyone buying or selling a home.

Chris Pippy and Lorie Cochrane

Our experience with Re/Max Solid Gold Realty was excellent! We would highly recommend the McIntyre Team as true real estate professionals. Specifically, we would like to endorse Jim McIntyre and Shannon Treadwell – who are very knowledgeable and always available to provide help or information.

In the midst of COVID-19, we purchased a home unconditionally and Jim sold our farm without conditions in the same COVID-19 market. We put our faith in the McIntyre Team and they delivered! This process can be very stressful – but with their sense of humour – we just sailed through. They made it enjoyable!!

Hugh and Anne Nauman

Jim and Shannon, thank-you for all the help you have given us in selling our house and helping us find and purchase a new home. The perfect home for our family! The many hours and late evenings you spent helping us was very much appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work.

The Schuett Family

My husband and I met Jim McIntyre at an open house a couple of years ago. While we were not seriously looking for a house at that point in time, Jim took us very seriously. Being a young couple, we were impressed by his professional yet relaxed demeanor. So, when it came to selling our own home, we knew there was no one else to call.The day after leaving him a message, Jim reached out to us and arranged to meet with us shortly thereafter. After evaluating our home, Jim gave us not one, or two, but three price points and explained the probable outcomes of listing at each level, thus allowing us to make our own educated decision. At this same meeting, Jim asked us what we were looking for. We pulled out a listing from an open house we had visited that past weekend and Jim called and had the realtor on the phone within minutes. No pressure, but a willingness to understand what we were looking for. That very night we met again and went through the house.  Through our time working with Jim we appreciated his expertise in the real estate market of the area and his dry sense of humour making a stressful process more relaxed and fun than we could have imagined. He came to meet with us many times through the selling and buying process, with no hour too late for a meeting or a phone call. He has a great team including Shannon Treadwell who gave us invaluable insight into staging our home and the finer details of the paperwork. We walk away from working with Jim and the McIntyre Team feeling that they were truly working for us, not a commission. Thanks Jim & the McIntyre Team at Re/Max Solid Gold!

Bryan and Casey Horn

It is my pleasure to express appreciation to Jim McIntyre and his team for the success in selling my condo. Jim McIntyre and his staff were professional, sensitive to my wishes and generous in advertising. I would like to recommend to anyone who is considering buying or selling their home to use the services of the McIntyre Team as their agent. Thank you Jim.

Marjorie Zinger

I would like to thank Jim and Shannon for the tremendous effort you put into the sale of my property and purchase of my present home. I don't think there would be many agents who would have the expertise and determination that was needed to bring it all together in such a short time. You were both totally professional, available at all times and good humoured to boot.

Jane M. Hafemann

My family and I first met Jim at an open house in our neighbourhood  a few years ago when we began to think about moving to a new home.   We went to a lot of open houses and met a lot of agents but we immediately felt a connection with Jim; mainly because he actually listened to us and we never felt pressured. Back then we originally planned to combine households with my parents and Jim showed us some potential properties.  We realized that we were not ready to make the move at that time so stopped looking - Jim was very suportive of our decision.  Fast forward a few years and our needs changed.   My husband and I decided to make the move to a new home with our family, and we immediately thought of Jim.  We need a realtor who would listen to us and help us make the right decision with both the house we had to sell and the new home we sought to purchase.  We had all kinds of grand ideas about what we thought we should do to prepare our little house for sale and we shared those thoughts with Jim.  Jim introduced us to Shannon and together they shared their wisdom with us, laid out options, and guided us into making the decision that was right for us.   We worked hard, but smart (thanks to Jim’s advice), to prepare our house for sale and quickly after it was listed, we sold our property for a very satisfactory price.   This laid the groundwork for our search for a new home.   Again, Jim and Shannon understood our needs and sent us leads to wonderful homes in the area we desired.  They helped us find a new  home that suited our family perfectly.   The whole process was a little overwhelming but I felt looked after with Jim and Shannon in our corner.  I knew our needs and interests were being looked after at all times. Thanks Jim and Shannon!   We could not have done this without you.

Scott, Elaine, Shane and Tess Hutchinson

Shannon and Jim were a pleasure to work with.  They efficiently marketed and negotiated a quick sale of our home with professionalism and tact.  We have already recommended using this Re/Max team to friends and family.  Thank you for making our relocation processes a positive experience.

Doug and Rosemary Montgomery

Once again thank you for helping us find a new home and sell our old one. Utilizing the experience and industry knowledge harnessed within the McIntyre team, searching for a new home was a very comfortable, successful experience. As soon as a posting was listed, Jim had us seeing the house within 24 hours, and we were pleased to obtain the first house we placed an offer. Furthermore, the McIntyre team was effective selling our home acquiring the latest technology and trends to stage our home, attracting a mob of interested potential buyers.  We received several offers, sold our house within 5 days of posting and sold it for well over asking. Thanks!

Curtis and Alix

Jim and Shannon helped us to find the perfect new home for our family - they were patient, knowledgeable and when we finally found the right place, they helped us to negotiate an excellent deal with the ideal closing date. They helped us to sell our home quickly and for the asking price, even at a slower time of year. They followed up on every lead, communicated with us every day and didn't rest until we had an unconditional offer in place. The entire process was smooth, low-pressure and quick!

Steve and Britt Leeking

I have nothing but the very best to say of the McIntyre Team. They bring a much needed level of professionalism, experience and competency to each and every one of their clients. I can say from personal experience that they put the client first working hard and smart to help that fortunate individual reach their goals. I say they because they are a team, one that utilizes both their own skills and the synergy that working with others can bring. I would without a shadow of a doubt give this firm the highest recommendations possible.

Rick Relf

Our home in Woolwich County on 49 acres was marketed by the McIntyre Team.  It is a relatively unique property in the region - more an estate than either farm or hobby farm - with a wood lot, wetland, and agricultural fields in roughly equal proportions.  We enjoyed the recreational value of the property, and its peaceful beauty, and we knew it would attract a unique buyer.  Unfortunately, it took a year for the right buyer to find us. The year was one of separation (I moved to take a new job) with regular trips back for visits.  And then COVID struck.  The initial impact on the realty market as well as travel opportunity was discouraging to us, and left Lynn with the pressure and responsibility of looking after a large property alone.  Throughout this period Jim, Carol and Shannon were highly supportive, reassuring, reminding us that it took a year for our unique place to sell when we bought it a dozen years earlier, and that a buyer would come along.  During negotiations and subsequent closing arrangements Jim was in constant and clear, supportive communication.  After the sale he also provided a highly professional assessment of the property for us, with his analysis of market conditions at the time of sale.  A real professional! We have no hesitation in recommending the McIntyre Team most highly.  They served us with professionalism, warmth, caring, and clarity.  We enjoyed working with them despite the strained context, and they unquestionably helped to make both the sale and closing much less stressful than it might have been, under unusual circumstances.

Max and Lynn Blouw

I would highly recommend Jim McIntyre to help sell your home. I found Jim to be personable, approachable and easy to work with. He worked for me 110% holding weekly open houses. He put his heart and soul into helping me sell my home from start to finish. He made me feel like I was number one on his list of homes he was selling. Thanks Jim, for all your work.

Jason Jones

Shannon, we have been in our new home almost a year now and could not be happier. Thank you so much for making our first home buying experience a good one, everything seemed to go so smoothly.

Kayla and Jon

Working with Jim and Shannon has been a pleasure. Their honesty and advice has navigated us through a home purchase that has brought many years of enjoyment to our family, and it's ultimate sale as we move on to the next part of our lives' journey. Their knowledge and expertise has made us truly appreciate the value of professional and trusted advisors.

Chris and Jean L.

Jim and Shannon are a great team: they promised not to disappoint us, and they did not! With great advice and prompt support from them, we showed our house at its best and sold it at a good price. They worked extra hard at all negotiations, for which we are very grateful.

Mary Mae Schwartzentruber

Shannon, this card expresses our appreciation of your exceptional service and professionalism helping us purchase a new home for our growing family and selling our little home. “The kindest hearts expect no reward and deserve it all the more. You gave so much of yourself in the kindness you show and the lives you touch. That’s why you deserve a heartfelt ‘thank you’ and a wish that all the goodness you share comes back to you.” I couldn’t find more perfect words! Thank-you so much!

The Fletchers

Karen and I want you to know we are 100% (if we could go higher than 100% we would) satisfied with our decision to use the McIntyre Team to market and sell our home. We talked to two other realtors prior to selecting the McIntyre Team and not for one moment have we regretted our selection. While not taking anything away from the other two realtors, it was your marketing that turned us on. A 116 year house on 1.2 acres of riverfront is not exactly run of the mill, and your marketing prowess was the difference in our selection and the resulting sale. Your representative, Shannon Treadwell, is a jewel of the first order. She was always there when we needed her and every promise she made was promptly fulfilled.

Adrian and Karen Deacon

Jim and Shannon, I wanted to take the time to write both of you a letter or appreciation and recommendation. As you are aware, we have spent the last 2 years looking for a new home that better fits our needs after our children grew up and left our family home of 19 years. After trying various agents, my wife, Delia, contacted you at the beginning of the summer and at that point our dreams became reality. Within 48 hours of our first meeting you had lined up nearly 10 homes that fit our criteria and within a week we had narrowed down the selection to a very short list which we then acted upon. Your support during the offer and negotiation process was outstanding. What was unusual for me, as a former turnaround CEO and current professor of strategy and ethics, was the level of integrity that both of you exhibited during this process. The home we purchased was not only sold to us by you but the vendor was also one of your clients. My wife and I found your fact-based approach to negotiation and closing to be refreshing and totally in the interests of all parties. It was this behaviour that led us to ask you to list our old home as we saw how hard you worked for both the buyer and vendor. This was a good decision for us as your guidance on what we needed to do to prepare our house was right on target. After taking your detailed advice on how to prepare our own home for sale before Listing, we were shocked to see our home basically sell on the first day on the market in our inaugural (and only) open house.  Again, your support during the negotiation process was greatly appreciated and we ended up selling our home for basically our listing price with a closing day that was only 25 days after we moved into our new home. That was a significant cost-savings benefit that we did not expect to achieve given our last experience in buying and selling homes.

So, we have experienced the "full circle" of your team's capabilities and the subsequent performance has been outstanding. Please note that Delia and I fully endorse both of you and the people in your team that we did not meet. You kept us informed and it was very clear to both of us that you were truly working for us, no matter what end of the transaction was active.
Thank you again for helping us to achieve our dreams. Please share this note with your team and any prospective clients.

Stephen J. Hummel

I first spoke to Shannon during a cold call into Re/Max Solid Gold. I made an appointment and viewed a home with her. At that time, I also had another agent working with me. Once I met Shannon however, there was no need to correspond any further with the other agent. I would like to express my respect and appreciation for the hard work Shannon has performed in helping me find a home. Shannon is professional, reliable, intelligent, ambitious, personable and easy to work with. Her sensitivity and concern for my situation was comforting and her efforts to ensure I had found the perfect home were tireless. Her negotiating skills were amazing and she kept calm under pressure while paying meticulous attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon as a real estate agent to any of my family and friends.

Gail Marshall

Shannon, we would like to extend our thanks to you for all the work you did in showing us so many houses. We realize that we were not the easiest buyers, as we changed our plans a number of times over the last 8 months. But during the entire home search, you were so very available to us on our time frames and did so willingly. As we took our time examining each one, you demonstrated patience and understanding, always stating, “This is also good for me to see what is out there.” There were times when we felt we were wasting your time. You, however, supported our search with ongoing encouragement that we would find the right home and the process takes time. You walked us through each home, pointing out pros and cons, with insight and knowledge. We truly thank you for all of your hard work and for your cheerfulness, even when I called you at 7am. You are a great ambassador for the McIntyre Team. We are grateful for all you did for us. We are the proud owners of the exact house we wanted! We will certainly recommend you and the McIntyre Team to any of our friends who are selling or purchasing homes.

Gil and Elisabeth Snyder

Annette and I wanted to thank you for making the sale of our home a very pleasant experience. When we engaged the McIntyre Team we had 2 objectives: 1) to make some minor changes to improve the marketability of the home; and, 2) most importantly - to get the home sold quickly — as we had already fled the province. We believe that you understood these objectives and executed accordingly. We appreciate your team taking the time to provide suggestions to improve the appearance of the home. It is often difficult reconciling multiple suggestions and budget constraints but we feel that this was handled very professionally and achieved the desired result. We have bought and sold many homes in the past and appreciate the necessity to work with reasonable offers when they come. Although one can always hope for more, we believe we arrived at a reasonable result for all parties concerned. Overall, we felt that the ongoing communication and negotiations were handled in a very professional manner. A vast departure from our last experience. Thanks again for a great team effort !!

Annette and Glen

We had a wonderful experience working with Jim McIntyre and team both for purchasing a new home and selling our current home. Jim was always available whenever we wanted to look at a property for sale and helped provide insight on the details of each property. He was thorough in answering any questions we had about a property, and about the buying and selling process. Once we found our dream home, Jim helped guide us through the negotiating process – his expert advice helped us succeed in a crazy market!  Once we had our current home ready to go up for sale, Jim took the time to help ensure our house was well presented. We were so surprised and happy with how even minor suggestions made our house show that much better! Throughout the entire process, Jim was flexible, patient and accommodating – it felt like he was available 24/7! We always felt like Jim was ‘on our side’ and had our best interests at heart. He was truly interested in helping us to purchase our dream home – not just looking for a quick sale. Not only was he able to provide expert advice, but he was also very personable – we felt like we were working with a friend! We were also pleasantly surprised to receive a restaurant gift card from the McIntyre Team, which we used to celebrate selling our home for a great price! We were so happy that we went with Jim as our realtor and would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house!

Erin and Andrew O’Connell

I highly recommend working with the McIntyre team. Jim was incredibly responsive when we first reached out, and he continued to be quick to respond throughout the buying and selling process. With Jim’s help, we found our dream home quicker than we expected. That meant that we had to stage and sell our place quick to get into the new home. Jim, Shannon and Carol did everything they could to make our dream a reality, and sold our place in 4 days so we could get into the new house. Thank you again for everything!

Kyla and Jason Faist
