Our Client Stories

“The Dekker Team really gets to know what their clients are looking for. They aren’t looking to sell you a particular kind of house, they aren’t looking to sell their style or brand – they want to know what their client is looking for and that is what they go out and look for and deliver! I would recommend the Dekker Team to friends and family because they truly care about their clients. We have purchased 5 houses now with the Dekker Team…we have established a good, and trusting relationship with them and would recommend them to anyone.” – Rebekah

““I heard about the Dekker Team on CHRI and when I had need of buying a home, I called Yetta. They were incredible. They started helping me out 9 months previous, not knowing at all if they were going to get any business out of me. They were there to support me regardless of whether I ended up buying a home or not. The biggest thing for me was that there was never any pressure at all. It was never about making a sale. Even if she didn’t make a sale at all, she was ok with that, she just wanted what was best for me.” – Marjolaine

“During our first move in 2010, we had a dilemma of buying a house on the Quebec side or the Ontario side. So, we looked at houses in both provinces. During that house-hunting week in July, the temperature was a scorching +37 degrees. But it wouldn’t stop Yetta: she didn’t even break a sweat! She was driving the schedule of the viewings, and personally showed us 16 houses in 2 days. … unbelievable, really. She knew exactly how to line up viewings with our needs, and kept us focused on prioritizing and remembering only our top choices by playing a game, “Call it NO or Name it.” That was a key strategy that helped us avoid going back and re-thinking houses that just didn’t fit with our plans…In the end, we decided to buy a house on the Quebec side and worked with the Quebec-based agent that the Dekker Team introduced us to. And it worked out very well for us. But here is the best part: Yetta was genuinely thrilled for us, as if we had bought in Ontario through her office! Not only that, but for the next 6 years while we still lived in Ottawa, Yetta and Ken treated us like gold: the same as every other client that had bought or sold a house with them. We were invited to all the Dekker Team Family Gatherings every year, Christmas tree harvests and strawberry picking days. We’ve never been made to feel so appreciated as a client by any business.” – D’Arcy
