Chip sold our house in 1 week with 20+ showings, $150+K over, and all in today’s market which would be described as “luke warm at best”. With me being out-of-province at the time of the listing and sale, Chip handled all the details and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Chip to anyone that wants to sell their house fast and for top dollar.

Chip was a very diligent and professional agent from start to finish. His passion for your best outcome is first and foremost. Thanks, Chip for getting us a great price for our house $155k over asking BRAVO

“I’ve worked with Chip for over 5 years now, and he is the type of agent that you want working for you. He cares about the relationships with his clients and partners … it’s not just a transaction to him. He listens well, is empathetic, and demonstrates kind candor (which is not easy). Most importantly, he is consistent and loyal. After all, your relationship with an agent should last DECADES … which means you need someone who will always be there for you, and show up in the same way every time, and after 5+ years of working with him I can say Chip demonstrates this in spades. So … if you are moving in the GTA, use Chip. You won’t regret it.”

Chip recently sold our family home of 46 years as part of an Estate Sale. There can be many challenges when prepping and selling this type of property. Chip brought tremendous professionalism and wonderful support throughout the process. He helped us navigate the multitude of offers presented and sold the home within two days significantly above the asking price. I can’t thank Chip enough for making the sale as seamless as possible. I highly recommend Chip’s extensive and very personalized services the next time you are looking to buy or sell a home.
Thanks for everything Chip!

Chip Barkel replied: Thank you so much. It was an honour to help you and your siblings so your family home. I was glad we were able to maximize the investment that your parents made several decades ago. Thank you for trusting me in what truly is a once-in-a-lifetime sale.

I was in a bit of a time crunch to find a place to live in Toronto and enlisted the expertise of Chip Barkel. Chip had just sold my parents home in a matter of days for above asking price – I was confident he would be able to help me relocate. He selected several listings based on my wants and needs and we were able to find my dream apartment after only one day looking. I am happily settled in to my new home and can’t thank Chip enough for all of his help and guidance.

Chip Barkel replied: It was a pleasure and honour to help you in your recent move. Thank you for your confidence that we’d find the right place. I am thrilled you are happily settled in your new neighbourhood. Enjoy your new chapter.

What a great experience.

Chip is actually a client of mine. I sold him a beautiful vehicle and we’ve become friends since.

Over the last year, we’ve been talking about getting into the market, and one year after he picked up his car we did just that.

We looked at multiple properties and finally found the right one. I expect the same service I give out to people. Clean, efficient, and detailed.

Chip provided in all levels and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to purchase their first or next home.

Chip Barkel replied: Thank you so much, Jorden. It was a real thrill helping you buy your first place. It felt great to re-pay the great service I got from you when I bought my new vehicle. I realised when I met you in your showroom, we shared an important value: it’s never just about the deal. Good luck in your new home. -Chip

Chip Barkel has recently completed the sale of my mothers property. Chip brings years of experience, expertise, professionalism, and fantastic pre and post purchase support. We secured a price well over asking. Chip provided a valued perspective that was critical in assessing competing offers. He made the process seamless and efficient with a better than expected outcome. I strongly recommend Chip Barkel Real Estate if you are in the market to buy or sell. –Glenn Martin

Chip Barkel replied: Thank you, Glenn. It was an honour to help you settle the estate with the sale of your parents’ home. I realise that selling a family home after almost 50 years is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Selling in one day with 15 offers and 26% over asking means that their legacy will be long-lasting. Thank you for trusting me to get you across the finish line.

I can’t say enough good things about Chip Barkel! He should be your go-to Realtor. Chip represented me in the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. He also helped me sell my investment condo during the 2020 pandemic. Chip went out of his way to find the new home, even though it was not on the market. I had lost out in a bidding war in this community. He found me the perfect home, negotiated a below-market price with the seller as well as including many chattels (expensive gym equipment, furniture, multiple televisions, and other personal items) in the price. With Chip’s advice and guidance, this was the easiest and lowest stress real estate transaction I have ever had.

When it came time to sell my home, Chip recommended a downsizer who helped me sell surplus “stuff” and an award-winning stager who gave me great advice on getting my home ready for sale. When the stager completed the staging, I hardly recognized my own home. I remember saying, “Who lives here?” My house sold well over asking in just 2 days!

Thank you Chip for providing extraordinary customer service and sharing your expertise and resources for another successful purchase and sale with superior results!

You’re the best, Chip.

We hired Chip Barkel on a recommendation from a very long-time friend. We were happy we did. With his help, we were able to sell our house of 33 years at a relatively tricky time – at the beginning of the slow downturn in the housing market. We were very informed of market conditions on a regular basis and information was available for the asking. Scheduled appointments were always kept on time and communication was exceptional. We would recommend Chip Barkel to our friends. We wish him all the success he deserves.

Chip was good with markets at a difficult time and we were out of town quite a bit. Chip kept showing up when needed and the staging made the place better than when we lived there.

I Love Chip Barkel, eXp Realty because he made my transaction stress free. I felt confident that I chose the right rep. Having lived in my family home for 47 years, I was out of touch with the current market. At my age and recently widowed, Chip helped me with many situations that a move involves. Also, my house sold for over asking in a week’s time. I endorse him and his professionalism completely. Thank you, Chip!

Since the  “SOLD” sign went up, I have been asked by several long-time residents of Dominion Street in Uxbridge why I decided to engage an out-of-town agent and brokerage firm to sell my home.  The answer is simple, he was very confident I would receive multiple offers, which we did, and he was confident the marketing material and sales campaign would present the right opportunities for the home to sell for the asking price or higher in a short period of time. No local agent interviewed appeared as confident with this strategy.

Chip, you handled all aspects of my home sale exactly how it was presented upon signing the listing agreement. The same took place when you designed a well thought out strategy to allow the sale to happen in a timely manner. This included spending hours and funds putting together outstanding printed marketing material. This was done by engaging the assistance of a team of professionals. Starting by hiring an experienced photographer/videographer to capture the uniqueness and important features of the home, engaging a professional company to put together an accurate floor plan to assist out-of-town buyers deciding whether to put my home on their visitation list, to having a well-designed, all-encompassing full-colour feature sheet available for agents and clients to take away after a viewing.

When offers came in on the scheduled date to present, the process was handled in a respectful, professional way. You encouraged all agents presenting offers to take the time to provide any input they felt was important to their client. However, you gave me the time required to make a decision on what offer would be the right one for me to accept.  Overall I have to say, selling my home was a stress-less experience.

All the best going forward. Now, you just need to find me the perfect home to begin the next adventure.
