My wife and I had a dream to purchase a cottage in the beautiful Haliburton Highlands, so we began our search in 2017 as a young professional couple with the thought of kids on the horizon where we could create lasting memories for our family. Our first step was to find a trustworthy realtor, who truly understood what we were looking for and of course was within our budget. Karen Nimigon was recommended to us by a lifelong friend who had used Karen previously with their cottage purchase and provided us with raving reviews on their experience working with Karen and team. So the decision was easy, we chose to work with Karen and never looked back which is a decision we are grateful we made!
Upon our first viewing Karen took the time to get to know us, what's important, did we plan on using the cottage year-round, budget, etc. Karen patiently took the time to start showing us properties, to help us get a feel for the market and proved she had our best interest in mind.
Fast forward a year or maybe two later in a very competitive market and we finally had an accepted offer, however we chose to walk away after a home inspection identified major structural issues. Karen was patient and professional and supported us in this decision, with encouragement that the right place would come up. Frustrated from our lengthy search we started to "grasp" and at times wanted to offer on properties where Karen would remind us of our priorities, in circumstances where the cottage did not align or fit with what we had identified as being important to us.
Finally at the early stages of COVID a gem came up and we made our offer, the offer was accepted, and we've never looked back! Karen was extremely efficient and flawless to deal with through the closing.
Since closing our cottage I’ve also used Karen in a business transaction for a prime retail space lease, which again happened seamlessly.
To this day, we remain in contact with Karen not only as a realtor but as a friend where she continues to support us anytime we are stuck searching for the right local contractor or contact to do the job, by providing her professional recommendations from her many years of experience!
Karen is a dedicated, honest and extremely knowledgeable realtor with a keen eye to details who always puts her clients needs first! We highly recommend Karen Nimigon to anyone from clients beginning their search to clients simply wanting a smooth and seamless closing with a realtor who has their best interest in mind! Karen has met and exceeded our expectations and we will continue to do business with her and Century 21 for all our real estate needs!
