Of course, John & Rachelle Dempster were our first choice when finding a realtor to sell our business. We’ve had excellent purchase & selling experiences from them previously and we once again received the same! Both John & Rachel have the skills and ability to give the best advice for a successful outcome!
Thank you both for your integrity & valuable support!

And I have to say John made it so easy and simple . There was , no bothering , or constant communication , absolutely no worries, he listened to what I had to say and sold my house . Totally would recommend him in the future . Thank you"

My husband and I just recently sold our home of 10 yrs through John and his Remax team.
We had a wonderful experience with John many yrs ago with our old house so it was only fitting we go through him again. This experience however, was much more personal. Our recently sold home was one my husband and I built together in 2013 so John knew how special it was to our family and finding the right buyer was everything. Well I'm happy to say he delivered on every level. He kept us posted on regular basis with viewings, feedback etc. He carry us through the selling of our house on every positive level and kept us hopeful. He sold our family home and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend John and any of the Remax Team. The office was always so welcoming and John was amazing from beginning to end.
Thank you once again John Dempster it was a pleasure doing business together 🩷

John and his team are very professional and they get the job done. We were extremely satisfied and happy with his services. He explained everything very thorough and made the process seamless. We also think it's very important to give back to the community and John is one of the biggest donators from ReMax in the province for the Stollery Children's Hospital! We are proud that our house was selected to be a Miracle Home!

We have bought properties twice with John in 12 years. When we decided to sell our first home, only because we had outgrown the property as a family, John was patient and honest until everything fell into place for us. He helped us sell very quickly. When we were panicked during our search for our acreage, John remained calm and reminded us not to compromise.
With John's guidance we were able to find our dream property! We would highly recommend John and RE/MAX Vision Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell!

"It has been a great experience to list with John Dempster. I listed this house on behalf of my son who is out of the country. Everything went super smoothly. Unbeknownst to either of us, we got 2 offers within 48 hours. John guided me with his experience and we chose the best offer and in the end, the sale went through. I strongly recommend using John Dempster as a realtor and I know for a fact, I’ll be using him in the future for listing or buying. This testimony was a pleasure to do."

"From our very first interaction with John we were at ease. It felt just like we were dealing with a family member. John's understanding of the market and the evaluation of our property was dead on. Selling in only 3 days was confirmation of his knowledge. We wouldn't hesitate to give him a call if we ever needed another home!! A real pleasure to deal with."
