We would like to thank Mark and John Aben for the wonderful service they provided us as a team in selling our home so quickly. We loved the personal service and warmth that they provided us from start to finish in selling our home and also our vacant lot. The virtual tour that they did was absolutely beautiful along with the pictures and write-ups that helped it to sell our home and vacant lot so quickly. We appreciated all the follow-ups after the showings and the teamwork that they did together along with Michelle their office staff. Their professionalism is second to none. We are so happy and we would recommend them to everyone we know.
We want to thank you again.

We recently had the privilege of working with Mark Aben during our search and purchase of our home/cottage on Lake Vernon in Huntsville. Our journey began about two years prior as we started to get a feel for the Huntsville area and refined our needs to fit our budget. Over this time Mark was very patient, knowledgeable about the section of each lake during the summer and whether the location would be winter friendly. He was thorough in his research about each place and without any pressure helped us sort out the pros and cons. He was knowledgeable about the technical aspects of each home. He was also very good at analyzing the relative values and fair market assessments. He always followed up after each showing with the listing agent. During the offer process, he was very professional, knowledgeable and capable to handle any of the issues, which arose. He was also able to connect us with the varying trades/professionals we would need to complete our purchase, to protect our home going forward and to handle some immediate repairs/renos. Mark made the process fun & enjoyable, mitigating any stress with his calm and professionalism. We can highly recommend Mark & the Aben team to handle your search and purchase journey. Thank you Mark & John. We are thrilled with our new home and are very grateful for your help.

Mark's professionalism and expertise were very much appreciated. We were first-time cottage buyers and he was patient, honest and helpful with us. If any of our family and friends ever want to buy a cottage or home in Muskoka, we would be delighted to refer Mark to them.

“I would highly recommend John Aben to any cottage buyer. As a first-time cottage owner unfamiliar with the Muskoka region, John was quickly able to determine what lakes and cottage styles would best suit our lifestyle and budget. John took us on multiple cottage property tours over a period of several months before finally finding our dream cottage for us. John’s knowledge of cottage structural and mechanical issues proved invaluable on some of these showings. His tours were extremely informative, relaxed and helped us make the right choice in the end, with absolutely no pressure from John. John’s representation throughout the process was extremely professional, prompt and honest. He has also referred us to reputable contractors in the area for renovations. Thanks John for helping us make our Muskoka dreams a reality!”

The family vacation property was in the family over 40 years and when we decided to sell we signed on with the Aben team to help sell. John and his team were fantastic and did everything right. They made a great on-line video including drone footage that showed the cottage to potential buyers on line, they sent a weekly marketing report and send us e-mail alerts whenever a showing occurred. When an offer came in John and his team was right there assisting us with the negotiations and the closing. We are very satisfied with the service and professionalism of the Aben team and highly recommend them to anyone.

“John took the time to understand our wants and needs. We knew immediately that John's patience, professionalism and first hand knowledge of Muskoka was the perfect fit to help us with our search. John was instrumental in helping us fulfill our retirement dreams by finding us the perfect home in a wonderful community. Thank you John for your patience, flexibility and sound advice.“
