We just bought our first home and can't thank Jennifer enough for all her help! She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of a few months). We knew very little about what to look for in a home and Jennifer guided us through every step.
She made sure we took our time to figure out what we wanted and not rush into something. She always gave her honest opinions about every house we looked at and we are so happy with the house we chose! As a first time homebuyer, I was not familiar with all the terminology and she answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly.

Your credit score is now the most important factor in determining how much house you can buy, so if you are in the market for a new home, you need to understand how it affects you. In order to make it easy for mortgage companies to determine the risk of lending to you, they are using a system called credit scoring (also called "FICO" scores).
There are a few easy ways to make extra principle payments that can save you a ton of money in interest expenses and get you mortgage-free sooner than you thought possible. The results of this simple strategy can save you a fortune and drastically reduce the length of your mortgage.
As an example, if your monthly mortgage payments were $734 dollars a month, but you rounded it up to $800 per month, you would save more than $48,000 in interest payments, and reduce the length of your mortgage by 7.5 years!This is an easy way to save money and shorten your mortgage. For example, if you have a $100,000 mortgage, and you have a $1000 tax refund this year, you take apply that refund to your mortgage.

What can I say, Jenn is the ultimate professional. Not only did she help us coordinate a sale that attracted approximately 150 showings, she made the process so simple and took absolutley everything off of our plate. Her marketing, photography and staging expertise helped us close on offer for 140k over asking, simply incredible. Not only is she at the top of her class, but she treated our family with the utmost care and respect, as if we had been close friends for decades. If you're selling your home- there's simply nobody else my wife and I could recommend more.

My husband and I have been buying and selling properties in Barrie for 28 years and have never met a fantastic realtor like Jennifer Alberga. Her knowledge of the Barrie market and current trends in Barrie was instrumental in getting us above asking price. She is the first realtor we ever hired who brought items to stage our house and her pictures and video were amazing. She was always available via text, phone or email to answer our questions and provide guidance. She is very easy to work with, enthusiastic and very dedicated to her client. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who requires a

I must say, I was pretty nervous listing our family home of 10 years this year during Covid,
But thankfully my lovely wife Jennifer is a Fantastic Realtor and made it look so easy! I am pretty sure I may be her toughest client... but her incredible work ethic, creative marketing approach along with her “HGTV” sense of style and staging made selling our house a breeze..(One Showing and SOLD!!) She never ceases to amaze me and has become a top realtor in the south-west (Ardagh Bluffs) Barrie area. She had 4 Sold Signs up on our Street (Graihawk Drive) one after another this summer!! I am so

Jennifer is one of the best professionals me and my wife have met and got to work with. She managed the sale of our property in a much shorter time than we expected and at a price much higher than the one we listed it for and all these during a pandemic which made everything, from us meeting to sign the representation contract, through planning and conducting the showings to the price negotiations many times more difficult. She also went above and beyond to what the contract we signed provisioned for by offering to and making all the arrangements on our behalf with the tenant we had on our property

My husband and I were talking about selling and buying a bigger home to meet our family needs. It wasn't until one night at PIE, lol, that we discussed the pros and cons with our great friend who became our realtor. Jenn sold our home and I bought a new home all in the same week with my husband not even being here. Jenn will separate personal life from business and will work for YOU and not herself to insure you and your family are receiving the upmost respect and professionalism you deserve. Jenn will also research schools in the areas you are interested in just to make sure it is a good fit for

Jennifer was an absolute rockstar! She was extremely knowledgeable, super easy to deal with and totally professional. She not only helped us sell our home (over asking - in 1 day!) but secure the purchase of our new home. Buying and selling can be a very stressful process but this was so well laid out for us at every step that we never once worried about a thing. If you have come across this page, there is no need to look further.

I conducted a lot of research before making a decision to hire Jennifer to sell our home. Jennifer met my husband and I at our home, fully prepared and very enthusiastic. She answered our questions and without overwhelming us, provided statistics and documentation to back up her answers. She quickly proved she knew the labour market and was excited about the possibility of selling our home. We hired Jennifer and we were not disappointed.
Jennifer quickly and efficiently arranged for staging and photographs and provided us with thoughtful critical advice on what it would take to sell our home.

Jennifer is an amazing realtor! She is very knowledgeable in her field of work.
We were relocated from another province and she she made the whole experience seamless. She knew exactly what we wanted and was ready to provide us with quality service from day 1.
We had a lot of fun looking for our house. She even continued to look into us long after our move in.
I would work with Jen again and highly recommend her.
Great job and thanks!

We were looking to upgrade from our bungalow to a larger home. Jennifer was recommended to us by a friend. She took the time to really understand and learn what we wanted to find in our new home and then was constantly out searching for us until she found our dream home! Jennifer's commitment to customer service is superb! She was always available to answer our questions or concerns. When selling our house I was impressed with how Jennifer marketed our house by using all the current media sources. Our house was advertised everywhere! Jennifer's dedication, experience and knowledge made purchasing
