Testimonials
First off, let me extend a huge ‘thank you’ on behalf of Debra and myself for successfully completing the sale of our office building at Yonge and Lawrence in such a seamless and professional manner. Not only are we extremely happy with the outcome, we are sincerely appreciative of the way in which you managed the entire process.
From the initial meetings to discuss the valuation, to the insights you shared regarding a proposed marketing strategy, to the closing and tidying up of the final paperwork, everything you undertook was first class. As well, your flexibility to be available for showings to both realtors and clients, often on short notice, proved to us that this was not just ‘another transaction’ to you.
With 40 years of advising clients and delivering on customer service, I feel that I know something about how its done. I can say without hesitation, John, you are a true professional.
We would be delighted to recommend you to others in regards to the sale of commercial properties.

We have recently completed the purchase of a significant property in downtown Toronto which I do not believe would have been possible without your assisantace and guidance.
You were available whenever required which was often evenings and weekends and were able to obtain prompt and accurate responses to our enquiries. You ensured throughout that complete disclosure was made to all parties and provided an unpressured atmosphere where business decisions could properly be made.
Throughout the process you demonstrated your experience and professionalism in assisting Starbank during their negotiations with the Seller and successfully completing the transaction. I have no hesitation in providing my recommendation to anyone involved in the purchase or sale of commercial and industrial property.

The Mega Bank had 3 properties in Toronto (2 office/commercial buildings, and one long term stay apartment) in which the previous owners had defaulted on their mortgage payments and which John Morrison was given the task of selling under Power of Sale. Each building had been listed for sale by a number of other Real Estate Brokers over a period of a number of years. Nevertheless, Mr. Morrison was successful in selling all three buildings at excellent prices, within a reasonable marketing period. John was diligent in marketing the buildings and fully co-operating with both prospective Buyers and the Brokerage community.
He demonstrated his experience, professionalism, knowledge, and strong work ethic and kept the Bank informed as to what was happening on a regular basis, and help the Bank through the process of dealing with multiple offers, ensuring that everything went smoothly. I would have no hesitation in recommending John to others who wish to sell their Commercial property.

Over the years, John’s experience and understanding of the real estate marketplace has led to a wide variety of successful projects and satisfied clients. John’s ability to quickly hone in on opportunities and to rectify potential issues in advance, position him as an expert in his profession. In addition, John has demonstrated a superb and uncanny knowledge of an ever evolving market across the Greater Toronto Area. His initial instincts on property value and market interest are often proven to be quite accurate by the time a property has transacted.
John’s knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail, along with his friendly and approachable demeanor, make working with him an absolute pleasure.
I would enthusiastically recommend John Morrison to any landowner looking to maximize value and liquidity in any type of market conditions.

On behalf of the myself and the other members of the Steering Committee of Armstrong Holdings (Brampton) Limited, I would like to express our appreciation to you and your team. You developed and flawlessly executed a custom designed strategy that maximized the shareholders’ return from our unique land holdings.
But then we should have expected no less. Right from the initial review process, which was both extremely competitive and comprehensive, the Royal LePage team distinguished itself from the other national brokerage firms.
Your firm successfully understood the uniqueness of the 1100 acre land assembly and the corporate culture and the goals of the family enterprise for whom you would act. We were impressed by your use of aerial photography in the first interview. You completed an extremely effective presentation but respected our request not to go on the properties as our employees/tenants had not yet been advised of the pending sale…
Not only was your international marketing approach, designed to create an auction mentality, the most unique and well articulated but was implemented without a glitch right from the creation of the media materials to the signing of the purchase and sale agreement…Your team’s level of professionalism and integrity were exemplary in every respect. In sum, the Armstrong’s experience with you and your team has been extremely enjoyable, both in our personal dealings and the financial outcome for our shareholders.
We would welcome the occasion to do business again in the future.
Dr Susan Armstrong-Reid, Armstrong Holdings (Brampton) Limited
