We have bought and sold many houses in the past, but have never received the honesty and dedication that we did from Doug Hickman. He was thorough in his selling our home and at times went beyond the normal service of a real estate person. In the purchase of our new home he did an excellent job of surveying the market for us and got us a good deal. We highly recommend Doug!

When I first met with Doug to talk about what I was looking for in a new home, I knew what I wanted, but it was harder to describe it than I thought it would be. It was a particular combination of the right house with the right location and the right kind of backyard. Doug managed to take all the bits and pieces of my wish list and description of my definition of what was "right" for me and he patiently took me to see various houses until I found my new home. I am grateful for how supportive he was while we were going through the search process. He encouraged me to be persistent and to remain hopeful that I'd find what I was looking for. And he was right!

Lee and I have had countless conversations about how lucky we were to walk into the open house you were hosting, Doug! With no pressure you offered help in our home search, you listened to all of our needs and wants and quickly got to work! Not only were you our new real estate agent you understood we were moving to Barrie from Brampton and took the time to show us around our new city. Our list was by no means an easy one to take on, however you went "outside the box" and found us exactly what we were looking for. You endlessly went above and beyond to take care of us!!! We cannot thank you enough and would love for you to keep in touch with us, rest assured I'll be calling you for directions! I'll definitely be giving your name out! Thanks a million times!

Doug was such an integral part of not only helping us find our dream home, but also ensuring we made the transition from our former home into the new property successfully. Doug's sincere concern for us as his clients made us feel secure and demonstrated that we were in good hands through it all. We are more than happy to recommend Doug Hickman to anyone we know looking to buy and/or sell. We have the upmost confidence that his exceptional service and attention to detail will go beyond your expectations and leave you a very satisfied customer.

After a rough start I thought finding a real estate agent would be harder than finding a house. I really did not think I would find someone to do the work with my best interests at heart. It seemed like everybody knew a "great" real estate agent but trying to find someone to even return my calls just added to my frustration. Thankfully a good friend forwarded me to Doug Hickman. Right from the start Doug seemed committed and professional. Over the course of several weeks a professional relationship between Doug and I formed. In that time Doug proved to be reliable and capable with the task at hand. Doug took me through several types of homes with varying differences, which in the end enabled me to make an educated decision on my final choice. When it came to my questions (there were many) Doug always had the answers, when I had problems Doug had solutions. When we found what I was looking for Doug navigated me through the process keeping me well informed and reducing any anxiety I may have had. It always seemed like I was Doug's number one priority. Choosing Doug as my agent proved to be one of my better decisions. Not only do I now have a nice home I also have a good friend. I would never hesitate to recommend Doug!
