TESTIMONIALS

Sandy and Mike Gribben

" We contacted Wilco in the Fall of 2021 after being impressed with the comments attached to his Century 21 Profile and some very positive reviews." We were new to the Peterborough area. We explained to him that we were just starting to look for a Condo in Peterborough and at the time we were pretty specific about our "wants and needs". Over the next 2 years he showed us many Condos and Townhomes. At no time was there any "pressure to buy" on his part. He always reminded us of what we said we wanted compared to what each property offered. He investigated each Condo for any information that we needed to know about the Building etc.
It became apparent to us in the Spring of 2023 that we needed to rethink our list of "must haves" - Southern exposure being a big one. In late Summer Wilco suggested we take a look at an East exposure Condo just to see what we thought. We really liked it! He helped us negotiate the Sale and I was thrilled that our Quest was finally over!
We really appreciate all the time and effort that Wilco put forth. The Condo he found for us has really checked off a lot of boxes. I'm sure we'll enjoy it! If we are ever asked to recommend a Real Estate Agent we will definitely recommend Wilco."

Krystalyn Jones and Colin McGee

Wilco is an agent who definitely goes above and beyond for the sake of his clients. We were able to contact him and received a responses well within our timing expectation. He kept us regularly updated when we had showings and then an offer.
We thought we may have a difficult place to sell, given the current market, but it ended up going completely smoothly, as you can only hope for with the uncertainty of real estate. His easy to get along with demeanor and attention to detail was very appreciated. I would definitely recommend using Wilco to anyone who is asking for agent referrals!

Tracy and Grant Loosemore

I just want to say how great it was to work with Wilco. He is very dedicated and knowledgeable. Our house was Sold by him in only 2 days and we couldn’t have been happier. We certainly would recommend Wilco to anyone looking to buy or sell as his results speak for themselves.

Marty and Christine Rosen

Just a quick note to say hello and a huge thank you for all the time and effort you put in helping us find and ultimately purchase our house on the lake in the Trent Lakes/Kawarthas. A lifelong dream is now our reality. You listened to us, understood our needs, our proverbial "wish-list" on our rather modest budget, our time-line, our limited availability to make the 2 hour drive from Toronto to see the properties you so carefully chose for us to consider.
You either always answered your phone when we called or always phoned us back right away, as with texts and emails. Always on time for each appointment/showing. You showed that you understood exactly what it was we were looking for and........delivered. You made it all about Christine & myself, the buyers.... first and foremost. We could not have done this without you. And for that, and everything else stated, we sincerely thank you. You sir, are the the ultimate professional. We can and will confidently recommend you as a hard working, honest realtor in the Kawarthas & surrounding regions.

Suzanne Campbell and Kurtis Bishop

“We first engaged Wilco based on a strong recommendation from a friend in the Peterborough area, over 8 months ago to help us find a rural property. It has been a long, challenging search in a tough real estate market. There were many more buyers than properties, so the competition was fierce and finding acceptable places in our price range was difficult. Wilco set up a search on the real estate network for us and arranged viewing for 24 properties for us over the last 8 months. He also guided us through the bidding process on 6 properties. When we got frustrated, Wilco was very supportive and we finally ended up finding our dream house within our budget, thanks to him.

Throughout, Wilco was extremely diligent and professional. We always felt like he had our best interests at heart. He was always well preapred and did his homework on the propoerties. Wilco never hesitated to point out issues with properties that needed to be brought to our attention. His depth of experience and knowledge about rural properties was extremely valuable, and we learned a lot from him. We believe that Wilco’s integrity is unquestionable and we would trust him for real estate advice at any time. We highly recommend his services for anyone who is buying or selling a property."

Steve Ross

Wilco Overink was amazing to work with to find the appropriate property for us. He was thoughtful, flexible, patient, thorough, professional and did not let us give up hope to find what we want, for the price we can afford in a crazy property market. He often reminded us of our original goal and did not let us get carried away. We highly recommend Wilco to anyone.

R. Groepper

My real estate experience with Wilco began a few years ago. His excellent service ensured all went smoothly. Most recently, he worked with my partner and me through the purchase of a new home and the sale of an existing residence. As always, he was professional, personable, and focused. His guidance, support, and expertise made the entire process, from listing to closing, free of any troubles or worries. Simply stated, it was a pleasure dealing with Wilco. I highly recommend Wilco for your next real estate transaction.


Rolf and Diane Martens

We recently purchased a condo unit in Peterborough and sold our home in Fenelon Falls. Wilco Overink was our Century 21 realtor handling both our purchase and sale. Wilco was knowledgeable, informative, reliable and always available to handle any questions or concerns. He worked very hard to determine a value for our Fenelon Falls property. He was frequently on the road to meet with us. His use of online media was exemplary. We would not hesitate to recommend Wilco to anyone. His job performance was A-1.

Deb Darling

My husband and I had the opportunity of working with Wilco when we decided to sell our home of 23 years. Wilco's quiet, calm manner helped to reassure us during what could have been a stressful time. We had a very positive experience . Wilco was knowledgeable, very informative and gave us good advice. Our house sold in 2 weeks for more than list price. We recommend Wilco to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

Cathy and Steve Convery

Thanks to Wilco’s expertise we were able to purchase a beautiful cottage, and sell our water front lot this summer. Wilco is a very good listener. Picking up on what we said about the properties he showed us, he asked good questions in order to find a cottage we would like. We did not know a lot about the current real estate market in the Peterborough area, but Wico quickly helped us narrow our search. He knows the area well. He tried to pinpoint pros and cons of each property but was not at all pushy and did not try to talk us into anything. He was professional and efficient as he diligently led us through the transaction process.
In selling our water front lot, he gave us helpful advice on pricing and preparing it for sale. He did his due diligence by making sure we provided potential buyers with all the pertinent paperwork and information we had. He completed his own research with the township office and survey company, reviewed the history of previous buyers and kept us up to date on current market conditions with regards to similar properties for sale.
Thank you for helping us find our little piece of paradise. We love it! We appreciate your knowledge, insight, patience and professionalism.
We would highly recommend you for any real estate needs in Peterborough and the surrounding area!

John Norton

I was extremely fortunate to work with Wilco in looking for my home. From the very beginning and all the way through the buying process Wilco was sincerely interested in determining what I was looking for and in what parts of Peterborough and the surrounding area. He only ever presented homes that met these criteria. While showing a home, Wilco always pointed out what he felt were the good qualities and not as good qualities of the home. He was good at bringing things to my attention that I may have missed during the viewing. I appreciated Wilco's relaxed and professional approach. I doubly appreciated his patience; there was never any pressure to buy. All of this made me confident that Wilco was genuinely working with my best interests in mind. I am very pleased with the home bought and with the entire buying process. I have great confidence in recommending Wilco as someone who will not only work hard for you in finding your home, but will also make it an enjoyable experience.

Peggy and Don Sagriff

We first met Wilco just about this time last year. We were visiting from Alberta as we were in the process of selling our home in Edmonton. We actually put an offer on a home. We were successful thinking our house would sell quickly. That did not happen and we gave up that house. However, Wilco did not give up on us. Daily, weekly or monthly we got to look at possibilities, these turned into months. Wilco kept us informed. He did not call all the time to see how the sale was going as Alberta was and is going through a slowdown in the housing market. Finally October came and a buyer was in place. We sold and had Wilco find a few places for us to look at. In November the tour began. We settled on one that met all our wishes. Possession was early December. If you are looking for a gentleman with lots of patience and prepared to work hard for you, Wilco Overink would be a sound decision.

Peter Renolds and Alex Anagnostou

Thanks Wilco for your professionalism in all of our dealings with you. From our first meeting, you worked to earn our trust and then our business by showing patience, being organized, punctual in all our meetings and by your knowledge of the Peterborough area. We never felt
rushed as we searched for a house. As an engineer, I appreciated your keen eye in pointing out good and "less-good" elements within the houses we viewed - it really felt like you were on our side helping to find a great value. I can wholeheartedly recommend you to our friends and family and if we ever need real-estate services again, you will definitely be our first call. Thanks for helping us find our beautiful home.

Jasmine Singh

Buying a property is a terrifying and stressful process. We work so hard with our income it is truly devastating to see it lost or misused. I’m happy to say that Wilco was instrumental in me finding not an apartment but a home. He gave 110 percent every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with this life altering purchase. He was professional and prompt throughout the entire transaction and remained involved after to ensure I was settling in my new home. I’m truly thankful to have had such a knowledgeable, accommodating and above all kind individual throughout this process.

Jordan Tilley and Jessica Whelan

Wilco exceeded all of our expectations and more when it came to buying our first home. With todays market being extremely tough for first time home buyers and the younger generation such as ourselves, Wilco assured us every step of the way that we would find something that would meet our needs within our price range. We saw countless houses and asked many questions with Wilco answering them all quickly and effortlessly. I can't tell you how many times I personally called Wilco or texted Wilco with many different concerns and he was there at a push of a button it seemed. Wilco went the extra mile for us to ensure we fully understood everything we were getting ourselves into as a first time home buyer and to clear any doubts that we had. This man is a true professional. I strongly recommend to use Wilco as your realtor.
P.S. The memory of you getting bit by that fat cat will always be with us.

Karen and Bill Bendall

We would highly recommend Wilco to everyone we know who is looking to purchase or sell property, especially if you are looking for an honest and caring realtor.To Wilco we felt it is not just about the sale but more important to find your perfect home. It may not be today, tomorrow or next week, but will be well worth the wait.Wilco kept us optimistic and told us not to rush into a purchase until we were completely happy with our choice. It can be very discouraging with the real estate market these days and properties going way over market value. Wilco listened to our wish list and was confident that we would find something. And we did. It only took three months. We walked in and knew this was it. It ticked the most important things on our list, underground parking, common room and balcony. To be totally renovated and open concept was a bonus. It ticked all our boxes and more. We are so happy that we waited so we could be in the condo building of our first choice. We hope to have many years to enjoy our new home. Thank you, Wilco for providing us with no pressure sales, listening to our needs and looking out for our best interest. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Dan and Ilana Fletcher

When my fiancé and I were finally ready to become first time home owners we knew we'd use Wilco as our real estate agent, not because he was my father but because we were familiar with his work and trusted him to help us find our home. It was not going to be an easy task to find us a home; the current market wasn't a first time home buyers market and the area in which we needed to find a house only had a handful of streets with a tight deadline. We gave him an impossible task and of course he made it happen! As first time home buyers, buying a home was the biggest thing we had ever done, with no previous experience in buying a home we had to rely on Wilco's knowledge and expertise and we were not disappointed. Throughout the entire process Wilco looked out for our best interest and took care of all the correspondence between real estate, lawyers and insurance professionals, a standard for all his clients. If you are looking for a real estate agent that has your best interests in mind, call Wilco, you won't be disappointed.

Barbara and Allan Harrington

If you are looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable, professional, honest, efficient, and very easy to work with, we recommend Wilco. Wilco sold our home on the lake and proceeded to help us find a condo bungalow in Peterborough. His knowledge of the Peterborough market was amazing and his patience outstanding as he continually took us to various places for sale. His calm relaxed personable manner guided us through the entire process stress free. He was determined that we would find a home we would be happy with and was always looking after our best interest. During the time our home was listed for sale he immediately got back to us with feedback. Wilco's professionalism showed through the entire time and he was always available. Thank you Wilco for your hard work! You always exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend Wilco to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Judith Montgomery

In a tight, competitive, crazy real estate market, through a very close but losing bidding war, through months of nothing suitable coming on the market, Wilco was always encouraging, patient and helpful. Whenever I despaired and was tempted to buy something—anything – just to get the whole thing over with, he reminded me of what I really wanted and encouraged me to keep looking till I found the right place. His willingness to show me properties “just in case”, his understanding that I needed to feel an emotional connection to the house, to fall “in love’ with it, and the fact that he never pressed me to compromise on what I wanted or to buy something when I wasn’t feeling any connection -- all helped enormously as I went through the long, roller-coaster search process. His goal was always to help me find the right home for me…and finally, after 9 long months, it happened! I am looking forward to many years of enjoyment in my new home! Thanks, Wilco!

Sharen and Michael Radford

We were very pleased to work with Wilco to purchase our condo. From providing a free booklet listing all the condo buildings in Peterborough to sending listings as they came up, he provided friendly, professional and knowledgeable service. We highly recommend him.

Bhavneeta Mistry

Working with Wilco to find my home was an incredible experience. He is a fantastic listener and really understood my needs and my budget. His calm and caring personality really shines through and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is also very professional and was quick to find answers to any and all of my questions. As we looked at more and more properties, Wilco carefully and patiently narrowed down the search until we finally found my perfect home. Buying my new home was so easy, I always felt like my needs were at the top of his priorities. I'll be recommending Wilco to everyone I know.Thank you again Wilco, for the wonderful experience of working with you.

Coby and Jonathan Booth

We thoroughly recommend Wilco as your agent to find and purchase your ideal Peterborough condominium. Over a year ago at our cottage on Lake Chemong we got to know Peterborough and the city became our perfect retirement choice. Searching for a condominium and the most knowledgeable agent we found Wilco and subscribed to his extraordinary monthly information package. We searched using his package and compared our choices and features. This past December we accepted an offer on our house and called Wilco immediately. He promptly arranged viewings of the available units and we found our perfect condominium. Wilco diligently and expertly assisted and advised us through the offer and purchase. His unique knowledge of Peterborough's condominium market was invaluable.

Phyllis and John Junor

Wilco Overink, this is a man who has to be one of the most pleasant persons we have met. He has a very caring personality and calming way about himself. His approach was professional, personable and supportive. He made us feel comfortable right from the first time he came into our home. We definitely would recommend Wilco to anyone looking for an honest and caring Realtor to sell or buy their next home. Thank you Wilco for selling our home. You are the best!

Andrea Lamb and Martin Green

As first time home buyers, we wanted a realtor we could trust, and out of many recommendations we decided to go with Wilco. From the word go, he was professional, honest, enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. Wilco was understanding of our every need and requirement and made the process stress free and enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wilco to anyone seeking a realtor and will most definitely be calling on him again when the time comes. Thanks Wilco!

Debbie and Gordon Williamson

We would like to share our experience over the past year trying to find our forever home. We lived in a condo in Mississauga but wanted to relocate closer to our daughter and our two baby granddaughters. Our search started on the Internet as we really did not have a location picked out... Only that we wanted to be closer to our daughter but not too far from our older daughter and her family especially our Grandson. We contacted Wilco via the Internet and he sent us a comprehensive Guide with all of the condos in Peterborough with price points and location. It also contained several pages of Community information. This was so helpful.... Despite all of this we still had not settled on where we wanted to be. We looked all along the 401 corridor Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville and Newcastle. We did not find anything that we felt would suit us and and discovered that we did not want to be along the 401....Wilco continued to send us emails of listings in Peterborough. There was absolutely never any pressure, just great information. After almost a year Wilco was still assisting us as we finally came to the decision that our new home would be in Peterborough. We came for an entire morning and Wilco toured us through the lovely city of Peterborough showing us all of the condo developments that he thought would suit us. We were looking for a condo bungalow. We returned home that day and listed our Mississauga condo. It sold in 4 days! We now were really on the hunt for our home. Wilco showed us several listings, several times on several different occasions and always made us feel comfortable. He said many times when we were unsure that he just wanted us to be happy with our decision. He was always very accommodating with his time to show us listings as we were traveling from Mississauga each time. He found us a home that we felt comfortable putting an offer on but there were multiple offers and we did not get it. We were so disappointed but Wilco was so encouraging and very shortly he found another listing for us in the neighbourhood we wanted. We put an offer in on it and it was accepted. Wilco worked hard for us. We were so happy and actually pleased that we hadn't been successful with the precious bid. The entire process working with Wilco was a very positive experience. He was so accommodating and offered to pick up our keys on closing day as we were not sure what time we would arrive from Mississauga. He kept in touch with us frequently during the process to keep us well informed. We have now been in our new home for 3 weeks. We love it and appreciate the experience we had with Wilco. He arrived at our new home to check in with us on moving day to make sure that all was as it should be...We highly recommend Wilco if you are looking to list or purchase a home. He is very professional and experienced.
Thanks Again Wilco.

John Good and Doug Andrews

The sale of one's home is never easy but the process of selling the farm, where we'd lived for more than thirty years, was a daunting proposition. We knew it was a special home that would appeal to a small sub-set of buyers - even among those looking for rural properties. We were fortunate to learn of Wilco Overink through his involvement with the New Canadians Centre and we were very pleased with all he did on our behalf. Wilco took time to get to know us and to experience and understand the property. He undertook careful research in order to help us to set our asking price. He was direct and realistic in advising us that, to achieve the price we hoped to realize, we would need to be patient. And, while several other agents dismissed us out of hand, indicating that our expectations were unrealistic, Wilco agreed to work with assurances that he would not pressure us in order to try to effect a quick sale. Wilco marketed the property based on the likelihood that our buyer would be from Toronto (or perhaps even outside of Canada). Great articles in Vertrek (a Dutch emigration magazine) and the on-line edition of Country Living magazine were among the innovative things he tried to get exposure for the farm. Wilco pre-screened those who asked to come through and he followed up with everyone, in some cases, tracking them for months if there seemed still to be interest. Wilco stuck with us and with our property believing, as we did, that the value was there, if only we could connect with a buyer looking for a unique and special home like ours. On the Canada Day long weekend we had back to back showings and received an offer the following Tuesday. Not content though, Wilco followed up with others who had shown interest that weekend and before long we were in a position of having competing offers. Working carefully and effectively with the prospective buyers and their agents, Wilco secured an offer of full asking price with very few conditions. Needless to say, we are absolutely delighted with the results and very grateful to Wilco for his fine work on our behalf. He is everything we could have hoped for in an agent; attuned to our needs, direct and confident in his advice, patient and a skillful and tenacious negotiator. Thank you Wilco!!

Andrew Vandam and Brie Breton

As first time home buyers, we had many questions at each stage of the home buying process. Wilco was very helpful and patient and was always available to give input. Wilco was very knowledgeable of Peterborough and the surrounding towns, guiding us to areas where he felt our needs would be met and steering us clear of places they wouldn't. We had a handful of specific things we wanted in our home, and Wilco was very straight forward with us in terms of how we could attain them. Overall, Wilco made the whole home buying process feel quick, efficient and easy! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for help finding their next (or first!) home!

Jane and Jim Gill

During our recent home sale and the purchase of another house we found Wilco to be well informed of of the real estate market in this area and most importantly he was ever so patient as we went through a lengthy process, We have no hesitation in recommending him to our relatives and friends .

Janine McDonald and Mike O'Brien

Wilco helped us find our home!
At first, we thought we were ready for a condominium lifestyle. We were looking for a home on one level so my father could move in with us. He is 86. Wilco showed us a couple of condos and also suggested some bungalows that might suit our needs. Wilco was very patient while we roamed from property to property and changed our minds several times (house/condo/price range ?) - I’m sure at times we seemed pretty indecisive (LOL!), but Wilco continued to provide us with options. It’s a crazy market out there. Wilco gave us good advice along the way and eventually, we settled on a three-bedroom condo that is perfect. It has a bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and computer room on the main floor for my Dad and a bedroom, bathroom, family room downstairs for us. And beautiful hardwood floors throughout! The price was right and the monthly condo fees are low – we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. If you are looking for an agent who listens to your needs, makes suggestions when you are feeling stumped and is NEVER pushy - Wilco is your man!

Lindsay Ferguson

A few years ago, I came across Wilco’s ad for condos within the City of Peterborough and instantly he responded professionally with a custom brochure of all properties available. After some time, I finally made the first step to start the search and I knew Wilco would be the right agent for me. Having been a renter for many years, I was very hesitant to step into the market due to being a sole income provider. Wilco was patient and with a list of criteria he went above and beyond to show me many properties. In the end, we found the perfect house and I couldn’t be happier!
Thank you again,

Kaydian Carney

Wilco is a great real estate agent. He is extremely reliable and gets the job done. His commitment, work ethics and professionalism is phenomenal and I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and honesty. His dedication to getting me the right home left a lasting impression on me and made the buying process quick, very smooth and easy. He was up to date with the new additions and changes in the real estate market.He also knew exactly what needed to be done to increase the chances of my offer being accepted without putting me at a disadvantage. He was always available to answer my questions, provided me with all the necessary information including a professional presented buyer’s package, and went through the process with me step by step. Wilco always made time to accommodate my needs. He was considerate, understanding, and proved to be a very nice person to work with. He listened to what I wanted, delivered exactly what I wanted and was very patient with me throughout the whole process. It was very comforting to have someone that looked out for my best interest. He did an outstanding job and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Mary Ann and Brian Bell

Brian and I would like to thank you for the many hours you spent helping us locate and buy a condo in Peterborough that matched all our needs.We have appreciated your emphasis on what we needed. Your information related to buying, selling, and what to look for was very helpful. From our first contact you were extremely helpful.

Valerie and Sigi Radke

When we decided to sell our cottage on Pigeon Lake, we wanted a realtor with knowledge and expertise and who would keep our best interest at the forefront. For those reasons, we chose Wilco. Wilco was great at suggesting small improvements to maximize the attractiveness of our property. And his use of photos to market the property was phenomenal. We found Wilco to be very professional, extremely dedicated and he kept us informed throughout the process. Not only was he successful in selling our cottage, Wilco helped make this event relatively stress free. I would not hesitate to use his services again and we highly recommend Wilco for all your real estate needs.

Katharine Murphy

You understood the temperature of the East City market. You gently, yet clearly directed me to move forward. You intuitively understood my concerns ! You were always available, you followed up with questions. You did a great job selling my home and helping me buy a small condo. Thank you Wilco. I will refer you to friends and neighbours.

Donna and Eldon Johnston

We just happened to find Wilco’s internet information regarding condominium information. His reply was prompt and quite informative. So we contacted him and he was very willing to meet with us and discuss the various options we had. To make a long story short, he showed us a number of possibilities and we finally were able to purchase the condo we wanted. Wilco is a hard worker and is very patient with us older people who need some direction. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs to get the right information and someone who is trustworthy. Thanks Wilco for all your hard work, perseverance and patience. It paid off for all of us.

Grace and Mike Salalilla

Wilco has helped us twice with the buying and selling of properties. Wilco has given us logical and sensible advise and uses data to help us make an informed decision when buying and selling. We will hire Wilco over and over again. Thanks Wilco !

Bert and Colette Perkins

Thank you for the huge effort and professionalism that you exhibited in selling our home. The property description and pictures used on your web site were second to none, as can be proven by the parade of interested buyers. Good luck on future sales.

Ryan Gage and Adrianne Flynn

Being 1st time home buyers we had many questions about the process of buying a home. With Wilco’s relaxed and professional approach the whole overwhelming ordeal was made easy and comprehensible every step of the way. We now have a good idea of what it takes to buy or sell a home and wouldn’t hesitate to hire Wilco’s assistance again. Thank you Wilco for your patience, understanding and help during this segue into the next chapter of our lives.

Peggy McConnachie

When it came time to sell my home of thirty-seven years I chose Wilco Overink as my real estate agent. Wilco had sold the homes of two of my neighbours and they highly recommended him. He was kind enough to visit me twice before the actual listing to give me the information I needed to be an informed seller. He was very patient with me as I did the necessary "decluttering". The first day of the listing I was overwhelmed with five "showings" and two offers. My house sold in one day for more than I was asking! Thank you Wilco !!!!

Denis and Karen Corriveau

If you are looking for a realtor that gets the job done, then look no further. Wilco Overink put our house for sale in the dead of winter and not only sold our house but
helped us purchase our new house all in 56 days! He is professional, personable and has a keen eye for details. We will always use and recommend Wilco in the future should we have any need. Thank you Wilco.

Tess Steenberghe and Jeroen Kerrebijn

We had been looking for a business to buy for almost 2 years without much success. At least 3 deals died because of various issues. Working with Wilco was quite a different story. At the time we found and bought our new business, we were still in Europe. Wilco was our eyes, ears, advisor, negotiator and many more things all at once. Most importantly though were his additions and comments to the contract which has saved us a lot of agony. He is sticking out with head and shoulders above the realtor crowd.

Susan and David Blakeney

We met Wilco a couple of years ago and liked him instantly. Not only is he punctual we found out very quickly that he has an incredible knowledge of the Peterborough Housing market,As we livedover 5 hours away he sent a copy of all the new listings for us to peruse. This kind soft spoken man patiently answered copious questions while we struggled to decide what kind of house we wanted.At that point all we wanted was to live close to our daughter and family who lives In the west end.While we struggled to decide what we wanted, condo or home, 1 or 3 bedrooms, he patiently offered suggestions and showed uswhat we wanted to see,When we were not available to see something we were interested in Wilco would view it for us.He was honest with his reports and we knew we could count on him.Never did he say "buy this".I knew he would only be happy when we found the perfect home. When we finally found exactly what we wanted Wilco aggressively negotiated a price for us that we're very happy with. We consider Wilco not only our realtor but also our first friend in Peterborough.We recommend him highly to all we speak to from friends to staff at stores, new acquaintances in groups and activities we have joined etc.
Thank you Wilco, your professionalism is outstanding.

Andy and Marion Morrison

My wife and I were very new to the concept of selling our house. It was the first home we’d ever had and we were very nervous. Wilco made us feel at ease right away and never did we feel there was ever any “pressure”. About a year prior to listing our home, had received several monthly bulletins from Wilco about “Preparing Your House for Sale” and we had asked him if he could stop by and provide some input on what we should focus on. Together, we did a review and were able to create a list for ourselves. This was terrific as it gave us a year to prepare. When it came time to list, everything was already done and it went very quickly! Thanks again Wilco!

Hajni Hos and Steve Ross

Wilco was an amazing help to us when we purchased our first ever property. We were not even sure what we are looking for as we wanted to purchase a house to be a rental property. Wilco gave us detailed and professional advice from the beginning. He helped us think through step by step what we want, what would be best for us and what property would be the best option for us what we can afford.He was very patient as we came up always with different ideas and showed us the best options in each category. He was not only professional but effective and also funny. He always got back to us in no time. And finally he helped us find the property what we always wanted :) I would highly recommend anyone to get Wilco`s help who wants to sell or buy a property. Their dream will be in good hands.

Shane Smith and Jessica Penner

Wilco was more than supportive during our first home purchase offering sound advice and wisdom for all the details from large to small. He immediately understood our needs and dreams while expertly and painlessly assisting us in finding our perfect home. We couldn't have asked for someone more professional, calm and intuitive. We would certainly recommend Wilco to any friends or family looking to buy in the area!

Ian Henderson

After interviewing five real estate agents from the Lakefield/Peterborough area, I decided to choose Wilco because I was most impressed with the thoroughness of his initial presentation, and liked his relaxed, non-aggressive, but determined approach to selling my beloved lakeside cottage. It did not hurt that he has a highly-developed sense of humour. He was enthusiastic about advertising the property via his expertly taken gallery of photos, and his poetically-phrased description of the cottage; held a number of open houses, showing potential buyers around and keeping me up to date with developments on a daily basis. He even turned up to a "Septic Summit" at 7.30 one morning when my system was drained and checked for leaks. The cottage was sold within a few weeks for a price I found gratifying.
I had no hesitation in recommending Wilco to a number of my friends in the area who are considering selling their cottages

Well, here we are on the other side of selling our house on Swanston Avenue. Once we listed with Wilco Overink everything moved quickly. We were glad to see all the interest and the lovely comments about our home, but sometimes it made us think we should be staying. Wilco said he would walk us through it. But I think in that six days from the time it went on the market we were running to keep up to him. Almost 50 years in our home and never selling before, he had his hands full. We are glad we chose Wilco to be our Sales Representative. He made us feel comfortable right from the first time he came into our home. We definitely would recommend Wilco to our family and friends. Thank you Wilco and God Bless You!

Wilco, I would like to express a very deep thank you for all your professionalism and care to selling our home in Lakefield. I have had it listed with another agent and privately and could not sell it. I was very impressed with the work you had done before you even had us sign with you, and all the updates and advertising you did. This being said, you were able to sell it within a month. Your advice, knowledge and personal care helped immensely to the quick and worry free sale. We are not from a rural area so there was a lot of information to selling that we were not familiar with, but you guided us and helped us even by going to the house to get us information needed instead of us driving two hours up there to get it. We really appreciate everything and thank you again for being a straight up honest agent.

When we met Wilco our home had been on the market for 2 summer seasons with various local realtors. Lots of those realtors are very active to get you to list with them but after that they freeze like water in winter. Despite the fact that Wilco was not from the area we felt he was the right man for the job. He is pro-active, accurate and thinks out of the box. Quick updates and feedback, we always felt he was on top of things and we could always reach him quickly. He is professional and looked for new and innovative ways to promote our home. Because of his tireless efforts our home sold quickly for the right price. We strongly recommend hiring Wilco to list and sell your home!

We are so glad we got in touch with Wilco! As newcomers to Canada, we didn’t know where to start to find ourselves a nice home. While waiting for our Visa, Wilco already did the research upfront and together we made a list of homes to take a look at once we would move to Canada. So when we arrived the only thing we had to do was visit the homes we were interested in! We came to know Wilco as a professional, accurate, helpful, quick way of handling kind of guy with a friendly personality. Give him your list of what you are looking for in a house,and he will find it! Just like he found us a nice and beautiful home to live in and start our new life in Canada.
Thanks Wilco!

Recently, I utilized Wilco's services for the purchase of a house. I was extremely delighted with both the services provided and the results achieved. With a definite emphasis on customer satisfaction, Wilco certaintly fulfilled all my expectations. Throughout the entire buying process, his approach was professional, personable, and supportive. At all times, I was confident that Wilco was working for me and protecting my interests (and not the seller's). Quite simply, Wilco was an excellent partner in the buying experience. I highly recommend Wilco to any potential property buyer.

Wilco Overink is a licensed Realtor in Peterborough, Ontario. Despite his short career in the realty business Wilco has lots of knowledge about the local and regional real estate market and all related aspects. We found Wilco to be a calm and knowledgeable person with a very nice personality. On Thursday June 2nd, 2011 our family (father, mother, three daughters) immigrated to Canada. We had picked a few areas in Ontario as a possible future location to settle. Our goal was to find a suitable home within four to five weeks. Ontario is a large province in the Eastern part of Canada. Wilco is affiliated with Century 21, a real estate organization with offices throughout Northern America. The advantage is that Wilco has a widespread network outside his own area. Because of his enthousiasm, devotion and professional advice we were able to find a nice home in Ayr, a village south of Cambridge. On Monday July 11, 2011 we moved into our new home in Ayr.

We have come to experience Wilco as a person who is very accurate in all he does. He does what he promises, our needs are his first priority and his research is excellent. He is very pro-active and replies instantly to our questions and requests. He has a nice personality and as a newcomer to this country having a Realtor with whom we can communicate in our own language is very nice too.
