340 Central Park Drive, Ottawa

I had 2 different realtors try to sell my condo but I did not get one offer even after 10 months on the market.

Mr. Federick Yam  worked his magic and my unit was sold within 7 weeks.

He was very professional and hard working.

I will happily recommend Mr. Yam to any of my friends.

Thanks again Mr. Yam.

Take care Federick

This June I was in search of a condo in Ottawa and was refered to Mr. Yam. After talking over the phone about my preferences I was quickly emailed many favourable listings. Mr. Yam was prompt to reply to any questions and quickly set up viewings for places I had interest in. He was able to accomodate to my schedule and it really made things much easier. He did his best to make sure everything went smoothly during the purchase and kept me updated with tips while making sure my concerns were addressed with the seller. I would recommend Mr. Yam to anyone!

Mr. Federick Yam is a reliable real estate agent.  He only spent a short time to help me sold my condo with a reasonable price (even when the ecnomical environment is turning bad).  He is very familiar with his job.  And he does his job in a professional way.  If I have a friend who wants to buy or sell a house, I will introduce Mr. Federick Yam to him.  Mr. Federick Yam is definitely a good help.

Matt McCaw — 5 starFed has helped me with purchasing an income property (2012) as well as a townhouse (2014). I found his knowledge of the market to be incredible and in both cases he was able to negotiate the terms I wanted! When I go searching for another property in the next two years, I will be using his services again! Thanks for all your help Fed.

Yu-Ning Ng — 5 star I have nothing but positive things to say about Federic. He helped my parents with a purchase and sale. All the while he dealt with my parents, me, and my two brothers, as everyone wanted the right home for my parents to downsize to. Federic is easy to talk to, but having to answer questions from so many people could not have been easy. Despite that, Federic always had time for us, providing as much information as needed to understand any issues and make decisions. Federic's experience gave us confidence that all the bases were covered at all times. I don't believe that a less experienced agent could have handled some of the issues that came up. My family has no hesitation in giving Federic our highest recommendation.

Don Johnson — 5 starJust successfully completed our very short 5 day house hunting trip from the UK to Ottawa with Federick Yam and my wife and I were extremely happy and amazed with Federick's work as a realtor.

He fully understood what we were looking for and our tight timeline, he expertly filtered through the market for houses he knew would interest us and provided ongoing updates of available houses as soon as they hit the market. Federick used exceptional purchase offer tactics and diplomacy and got us the house we wanted for a great price with a few additional items we wanted included.

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Thanks Federick.

Dear Federick:

We would like to express our sincere thanks for your services and professionalism.

Your commitment to sell our house was exceptional.  We were extremely impressed with your ability to deal with all the obstacles during the negotiations and your patience to guide us through the process.

We are extremely happy with the offer you worked out for us and the fact that the house sold in such a short period of time, is a reflection of the quality of your work.

We would highly recommend your services to anyone.

Sincerely,

We are first time homebuyers very new to the real estate market and to the policies and decisions involved in the process of purchasing. Our first concern in hiring an agent was whether or not we would feel a certain pressure to buy. We were especially concerned that this might be the case if we took our time and viewed many houses (we did), got excited about the possibilities of each one (we often did) and yet might decide that just wasn't the right one (we did at least 20 times). Federick was not concerned about this at all. We could tell he viewed his job as being to introduce us to as many houses as possible until we found the one we wanted.

Federick has been working as a real estate agent in Ottawa for more than 20 years, and this served us well when we viewed potential homes with him. In each place he took out a flashlight, looked around in the basements and up at ceilings and gave us suggestions and clues about what to watch out for. For example, how to spot evidence of past water damage. We sometimes felt that having him was like having our very own house inspector; he constantly alert us to the potential problems he thought he could see so that we would know what we might be getting into before we made an offer. This impressed us because it meant that he would have to keep looking with us, yet he never seemed to view this as a problem or a burden.

Another wonderful thing about working with Federick was his availability and his flexibility. We truly felt that we were put at the forefront of his work time. Whenever we called his phone, he picked up promptly. Whenever we changed our ideas about locations, neighbourhoods, or listings, he immediately e-mailed us the newest ones. He arranged viewings for us always at our earliest convenience. And when we finally found the house that was right for us, he made the transaction smoother than we could have hoped for. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Federick as a wonderfully knowledgeable and professional agent to work with. We are very happy with the way he treated us as clients, We think that anyone who uses his services will be impressed with his knowledge and work ethic.

You have put in countless hours of dicussion and negotiation. You returned calls quickly and kept your word on everything your said. A rare quality these days. I have never seen an agent work so hard and be so attentive to his clients. Most of the agents I have dealt with in the past would not have done on tenth of the work you put into my properties.
