Todd and his wife had owned their rental property on Arrowhead Crescent in Kitchener for years. They originally bought the home in the early 1990s and later moved to Guelph, deciding to keep it as a rental. After more than seven years of being landlords, Todd had simply had enough.
He was coming up on retirement, and between tenant wear-and-tear, foundation cracks, and water issues along the back of the house, the property was becoming more of a burden than a benefit.
Todd wasn’t interested in dealing with realtors, repairs, or commission fees. He just wanted a straightforward, private sale that would let him move on and enjoy retirement, including a long-awaited trip to Mexico for the winter.
When Todd found DCI Properties, he appreciated how simple we made the process. We visited the property, discussed the needed repairs honestly, and made him a fair, as-is offer without the hassle of listing or showings. From there, everything moved smoothly to closing.
Here’s what Todd had to say:
“Thank you to Ryan and Bertha for making the sale of our property so smooth.
It was our first experience of being the seller and they both were very helpful and professional.
We would definitely consider using DCI Properties again.”
— Todd Borthwick
