Top 10 Real Estate Agents in Oakville
Are you selling your home? When you enter ‘Oakville real estate’ into google many many realtor websites are presented to you. There are so many to choose from and it would be very difficult not to be indecisive. How do you choose a real estate agent? Who can you trust? Who gives good customer service? These are the kinds of questions that need answering. In this article the term: Real Estate agent means both broker and sales representative. If you are not sure what the difference is, please check out this wikipedia article.
Real Estate agents make big bucks selling your home and you want to make sure they have your best interest at heart. There are lots of names floating around Oakville. Two that come to mind easily are: Dan Cooper and Christopher Invidiata. These names seem to pop up a lot whenever you search for homes in Oakville on mls.ca or on ‘For Sale’ signs. That would leave one to believe that they provide top notch service and can get top dollar for your home. Are they that good at what they do or do they know some kind of trick of the trade? Anyway, let’s look at some other notable real estate agents in town. There is: Ruth Anne Winter, Anell Francis, Don Goodale and Mary Cardamone. These are the notable real estate agents in town because of their track record and longevity. In other words, they have been around for awhile. Many people get into the real estate game believing they can make the big bucks and take 10 coffee breaks a day and it’s just not true. It takes a lot of hard work, patience, perseverance and knowledge. Many fresh faces pop up in the real estate section of the Oakville Beaver or on mls.ca and a year later they’re nowhere to be found.
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to create a top 10 of real estate agents in Oakville. What is the criteria? How about experience, customer service, salesmanship, community involvement, presence on mls.ca and reputation? If you would like me to change the criteria please leave a comment.

This is a very informative article. Hopefully, with such a good referal from you the agents will swing a link back to you from their sites!

I think this list is sku’d towards agents that have a team. At least 7 or 8 of the agents listed have teams surrounding them. What about the real estate agents that go at it individually?

Hi Gus,
I just happened to come across your blog and read your article about the 10 Top Ten Real Estate Agents in Oakville. Your list includes 10 very successful Oakville REALTORS ®. The criteria you have used to search for a REALTOR® are all valid. Other important criteria to look for is product knowledge, ability to listen, and most important look for someone you feel you will be comfortable working with. You will have to decide if you want an individual REALTOR ® or a team. Not every successful REALTOR ® depends heavily on the Oakville Beaver. There are a multitude of marketing mediums available today. One of the best ways to find a good REALTOR ® is to ask friends and relatives who have had first hand experience who they would recommend. All REALTORS® must obtain 24 Continuing Education Credits in order to renew their license every two years. The Oakville, Milton & District Real Estate Board provides ongoing seminars for our 1300 plus members plus we provide the opportunity for REALTORS ® to become involved in committees, task forces and the Board of Directors. The Board is working hard to promote the professional image of your local REALTORS ® If you have any questions regarding the local Real Estate market please feel free to contact me.
Yours truly,
Jenny Kotulak

@Jenny - Thank you for the great comment. I agree with you that word of mouth is the best way to find about which agents exceed customer expectations. Also, your other criteria suggestions are great and I will add them to the post. Thank you very much.
@The original Freebell - Maybe there should be two top 5 lists. One for teams and one for individuals. Have you had a great experience with any real estate agents in Oakville?
