"We had an extremely positive experience working with The Augustine Team. Everything wowed us including the staging, the photos, and the strategy and techniques used to sell our home for the most money possible. Communication was great, with The Team only being a quick text away. They put the time in.. including coming to our home months before selling to offer advice on final reno projects to complete. We recommend The Augustine Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Niagara region."

Tim was truly the best realtor we could've asked for. He was 100% dedicated to getting us what we wanted, and he fully understood the importance of finding a good family home in a sought-after area. He helped us every step of the way and made us feel confident in our decision to buy and sell. I would highly recommend going with Tim and The Augustine Team on your journey to your forever home!

"My fiancé and I recently purchased our first home with the help of Tom Lang. As not only first time home buyers but also young home buyers this was a completly new process for us. However, from the start, Tom was exceptional. He made us feel comfortable and was able to help us approach topics and questions in ways we were able to better understand. He never left us waiting and was always able to accomodate our schedules. Tom is both an amazing agent and human being, with him we did not feel like just another client. Thankfully we were able to find our home within just a few weeks of working with him but we knew he would be with us until we found the one. Not enough good things can be said regarding Tom and the entire Augustine team. When the time comes for our next purchase, without hesitation we will return to Tom. You will not regret your choice in working with him."

The purchase experience was also excellent as has been the follow up to help me through the next steps. I’ve bought and sold multiple homes and this was by far my best experience! I highly recommend Andrew and the Augustine Group to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."

"We recently sold a home with Andrew Hildebrand from the Augustine Team. Andrew met with my wife and me to discuss our needs in advance and helped us work through a plan to get the home on the market. He had a strong knowledge of the market and provided a clear strategy to market and sell the home. I was impressed with his communication throughout the entire process; from the first meeting until the final sale. He kept in constant communication via phone, text, or video messages. He advocated strongly on our behalf in the negotiations. The pictures and virtual staging helped the home showcase its best features. I would recommend Andrew and the team here. You won’t regret your decision to give Andrew a call and let him lead you through this process."

"Steve and his whole team are so skilled and professional in their work. When Steve sold our home, he put us at ease from the outset. He gave us an overview of his sales process and then talked us through what we needed to do to get our home ready. Our home was beautifully staged and photographed - and it never looked better! As a result, we had over 30 showings in less than two days and our house sold for well-beyond our asking price. When we purchased our new home, we benefited from Tom's expertise in making the right offer, without any haggling or frustration. We could not have asked for a better home buying and home selling experience. Thanks guys!"

The staging of our home was so well done and beautiful, we felt like moving back in! Thanks for a positive experience all around. E&L""

From the beginning, he was professional, polite, and incredibly understanding of my needs.

Andrew was consistently responsive, proactive, and went above and beyond to help me find a place that truly feels like home.

"My wife and I had a great experience recently working with Tom Lang to buy our first home! Tom made the process of looking at homes fun and easy. He always made the time for us and helped answer our many questions. Once we found the house we loved Tom was pivotal in closing the deal. Without Tom’s expertise I’m sure we would have missed this home. Tom made us feel confident and comfortable in our offer and worked to protect us the whole way. As first time homebuyers Tom helped us navigate this process in a way that was not scary. I highly recommend working with Tom and can confidently say you will feel well taken care of at the end."
