"I worked with Sean directly to sell my home in central park. I interviewed him as an agent and he impressed me with the confidence and factual numbers he displaced in what was the proper price point to sell my house. He provide excellent advise and answered all of our questions. The rest of his team were efficient. The house sold in 5 days for my asking price."

Me and my Fiancé purchased our first home with Sean and his team and we are absolutely thrilled with how the entire process went. The attention to detail and care they provided us was beyond exceptional, they made the process easy and fun to understand and made us feel confident with each of our decisions. We will be recommending them to anyone and everyone we know that is in the market!

Our whole experience working with Sean and his team was a pleasant journey. From the initial advice regarding markets and preparations, through the showing process and then the closing details, they guided us every step of the way. We're very thankful to have had Sean, Julia, Valerie and Noah working with and for us. We would definitely seek them out for any future real estate endeavors.

Selling my elderly mother’s home was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever faced however, Sean and his team made all the difference. From our initial meeting, he was incredibly understanding by taking the time to listen to my unique situation and offering thoughtful and expert guidance. Sean, Julia and Valerie went above and beyond from their regular communications, to handling every detail including coordinating repairs and cleaning services. I felt fully support, informed and confident in the decisions made. Sean and his team are highly skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated.

We sold a house in Ottawa when none of the family were still living there and Sean, Julia, and the rest of the team were great. It was a relief for us knowing that they were checking on the house and on the trades they recommended for the final spruce up for sale. Sale went smoothly and they were great at communicating with a group of us and dealing with all our questions.

From house hunt to closing, this team is nothing short of amazing!
Their extensive knowledge of the market was evident, and they answered every question we had with patience and expertise. Their dedication to going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly really set them apart from other realtors. Working with Sean, Julia and Valerie was a genuinely enjoyable experience—they made the process efficient, fun, and kept us laughing and excited.
10/10 recommend this team to anyone who values professionalism with a personal touch - they’ll go above and beyond to find you your dream home!

The team was excellent and very customer oriented. The pre-sale home inspection enabled us to avoid the little “gotchas” from the buyer inspection. The staging advice helped us prepare our home for the best possible viewing by prospective buyers. The attention by the team to even the smallest detail was great. The team was in constant communication with us and we always felt that we were part of the entire picture. Sean and his entire team are top notch!!!

I recently purchased a downtown condo with Sean's assistance and, with his help, the process could not have gone smoother! Sean brought fantastic knowledge of the neighbourhood, the builder, and the unit to the sale and was able to leverage his experience during the negotiation to get the best possible offer out. Thanks to his help, I won my dream condo! - a Happy Client

I cannot say enough about Sean and his team. I purchased my property remotely which could have gone badly very easily but Sean pulled me through with excellent advice and personal attention. His team returned calls quickly, were quick to respond to questions and went out of their way to make the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. I highly recommend them.

Sean, Noah, and Valerie were a wonderful team to work with, honestly could not have asked for a better experience with buying our first home! They went above and beyond from day 1, making us feel like we were their most important clients. 💛
Sean and Noah were very knowledgeable about the market, excellent communicators, and really took the time to understand and meet our needs. They were also a LOT of fun to view homes with!!
Our home-buying experience was such a special, memorable time for us (and this is coming from someone who was originally dreading the process). Sean's level of professionalism and the way he's built this business is a gift to the Ottawa community. 10/10 will forever be recommending The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group to everyone I know.
Thank you for taking such good care of us, guys!

As first-time home buyers, we were incredibly pleased with the service that we received from Sean and his team. They were absolutely fantastic every step of the way.
From their expertise regarding the housing market, to knowing what to look for when touring a home that could cost you money down the road, to negotiating a below asking sales price, to providing us with contacts for a home inspector and lawyer, the team guided us through the entire process.
Sean and his team truly went above and beyond. But beyond their professionalism, they are exceptionally kind and always answered our questions with detailed explanations.
We will definitely be recommending the team to family, friends, and if we ever outgrow our new home - we know who we will be calling!

Belle Lumani

Sean and his team were certainly great. Sean's strategy for selling our home was tailored to OUR home in OUR neighborhood, something other realtor's we interviewed lacked, as they pitched a strategy based on city-wide trends. As someone who is skeptical of of the value proposition of listing agents, Sean and his team were a good example of how a well informed strategy and execution can maximize returns. I also generally dislike sales pitches and window-dressing features and services, but Sean was frank, honest, and straightforward. Including staging advice is nice (and should be standard IMHO) but ultimate I care if an agent will maximize my sale price. Sean convinced me he could, and did.
His team, Julia and Valerie, were there to make every aspect of the purchase and sale easier, and were always available to answer our questions. 10/10 services from them as well.

Our experience with Sean and the Guy with the Dog Real Estate group has been nothing short of amazing. We were "those" clients, indecisive, apprehensive, critical and just could not find the right house for our needs. Sean, Julie and Valerie showed patience and professionalism through the process and after a long search, we found the perfect home. Sean's insight and guidance helped us during the purchase process, and we were so impressed that we also engaged he and his team to sell our house and could not be more pleased with the outcome. If you are thinking of buying or selling, The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group is the only call you need to make. Providing us with 5-star support through our journey, means they will exceed all expectations for anyone else looking to buy or sell a home.

Sean is an amazing real estate agent and human being. We first met him over 20 years ago when we purchased our first home, so when we decided to buy a new home and sell our existing home, it was a no-brainer that of course we’d be calling him.
He was quickly able to ascertain what we were looking for and once the perfect house came on the market, we were able to get in quickly and put in an offer.
Sean has amazing insight, thanks to his years of experience. In selling our current home, the range of services that he and his team provides helped us to get our house showroom ready and the result was that it sold in 30 hours after hitting the market! (Is it the luck of the market or from the advice from Sean and his team? I would say perhaps a bit of both!)
I highly recommend that if you’re looking to sell or purchase a home to contact Sean. You will be in good hands.

We have bought and sold houses with The Guy With The Dog Team twice now and have been so happy with our experience on both occasions! Sean sold our latest Wellington Village home in 2 days, with multiple offers, well above asking, and with no conditions. He knows this area of the city extremely well and we deeply appreciated his insights as we prepared to list our home and as offers came in. Sean is professional, knowledgeable, and on top of that, just a lot of fun to work with. His team, Julia and Valerie, offer fantastic support and we could see the thought and care they put into everything they do. With both buying and selling, the team patiently led us through the process, step by step, answering all our questions as we went. Selling included a professional staging consultation and a pre-inspection report, and when we moved out of the house during showings, the team went above and beyond, checking in on the house for us, turning lights off and on, etc. With buying, we received a tonne of support at all hours of the day through both messaging and phone calls. They also sent us detailed emails listing next steps with recommendations for how to work our way through everything that needed to be done as easily as possible. We highly recommend The Guy With The Dog Real Estate Group!

This team is the one you want to work with! They handle very detail (and I mean, down to the nitty gritty), and take the guess work out of buying and selling. It can be an overwhelming process but Sean, Julia and Valerie guide you through each step with their expertise and their confidence. We're grateful for what they did for our family!

Here is something unusual: Sean McCann is the only real estate agent that listened to us. Over the years, we dealt with and/or interviewed many real estate professionals. They only had one thing in mind: price the house for a quick sale and they would not listen to any of the points we tried to make. They would cite comps from different parts of Ottawa to convince us to list it at a lower price point. To them, out house was a commodity that was made up of a certain number of rooms, baths and lot size. Sean explained the market trends, presented relevant comps, but he also understood what was special about out house and never treated as a commodity. And most importantly, at the end of the day, he said, it is your house and your decision. The interesting thing was that even though he listed the property at a higher price point than other agents recommended, he sold it in less than a week. And this is not an accident, his track record is extraordinary as he sells properties faster than others and he has the numbers to back up that claim. We never met a more thoughtful, accommodating, pleasant to deal with and efficient agent than Sean McCann. Equally importantly, he has a great team, where everyone has clearly delineated tasks and handles them quickly and effectively and always with a great smile. We are convinced that Julia Wilson will one day be the CEO of her own real estate outfit.
If you are in Ottawa trying to sell your house, there is no one better than Sean McCann to do it for you. The "the guy with the dog" team is simply the best there is. Even if you are a cat person give them a call, you will not regret it.

Sean and the entire The Guy With The Dog team (Julia, Lucas and Valerie) were superb. We were referred to Sean by friends. We interviewed him and other agents before deciding to go with Sean. He impressed us with his clam demeanour, his data analytics, and superior knowledge of the Ottawa market and the neighbourhoods we were most interested in (Hintonburg, Wellington Village, Westboro, Civic Hospital). What we were not expecting, but were thrilled to discover, was that The Guy With The Dog is more than just Sean. There is an entire team that made the process of selling our home and buying a new one surprisingly easy. There was great communication, really excellent customer service, and a lovely group of people to work with throughout the process. We will not hesitate to refer Sean and the team to anyone looking for a realtor. (It was a bonus, and no doubt due in part to Sean's knowledge and approach, that we managed to sell our place for full list price within 48 hours while buying a great home well under asking price in one of our preferred neighbourhoods. We benefitted from Sean's understanding of the market, price trends, and that he loves to negotiate!)

Our experience with Sean and his team has been most outstanding. The superior quality of their service is noticeable from the beginning, and they maintain that standard throughout the process to the very end. Their answers to our questions demonstrated their comprehensive knowledge of the marketplace, and the expertise they shared with us in an unsolicited manner showed us that they genuinely care about their clients. We felt very well supported and guided during the life- changing event that is selling a property and buying a new one. We highly recommend The Guy with the Dog to anyone is who dealing with real estate needs!

Our family was faced with the need to sell a relatives condominium quickly to facilitate a move to a new residence. Seam McCann and his team gave us thoroughly researched pricing guidance based on comparables in the same building, created the listing, staged the property and conducted viewings, and sold the unit for the suggested price in the midst of a cooling market very quickly. We worked with several team members and every exchange with each team member was friendly, considerate, knowledgable and professional. Communication with the McCann Team were complete and through but quick and easy to keep up with and execute, a big help for me because I live in a different community than where the sale was, Our family approached this sale with some trepidation but we felt secure immediately with Sean and his team and there is clearly a great service culture in their office. Big thumbs up from me!

Sean and his whole team were there for us from start to finish. They staged our place in record time and they did such a beautiful job that I almost didn't want to sell our place! They were able to sell our unit within 2-3 weeks and this was during a difficult market for real estate. They kept us in the loop with viewings, the viewers review of our place and provided statistical data to help us understand how the market works. Sean and his team never applied pressure when it came to selling and always reminded us that we make the decisions and we would have Sean's full support. Sean and his team were always professional and courteous. We are happy we hired them to help us sell our condo.

This is the best realtor group you could ask for in Ottawa! I am so thankful to have come across their website. Sean was recommended through work as I was moving from Edmonton AB and knew nothing about Ottawa. I got so lucky coming across his team, not only did they respect my budget they genuinely wanted to best home for me. They are such a kind group of people and Sean has unlimited knowledge of the city and real-estate market. Condo shopping was honestly so fun and SO productive, the portal of personalized listings they create for you is updated regularly. The amount of condos I saw in such a short amount of time was record breaking. It was so nice and helpful getting to shop around the city, as well as Sean would be so honest about the homes we were looking at. There was even a point where I just wanted to settle and start bidding but this team kept updating the available listings and kept booking places for me to continue to find my home. I bought a condo that I would not have been able to land without them and am absolutely so happy living out here. I am and will continue to recommend them to any of my friends that are looking to buy in this area. Thank you Sean, Valerie and Julia for such a wonderful first-time buying experience.

I've been meaning to post for a while regarding my incredible experience overall with realtor Sean McCann, aka the guy with dog and his amazing thoughtful knowledgeable team that are always readily available! We sold our house with Sean after being impressed with his facts, method and likability. But recently in an effort to buy my own place, I have been benefiting from his incomparable knowledge, advice , foresight and no pressure attitude as I drag him around showing me every property I want to see or strategize offers! I highly recommend you seek him out if you're thinking of selling or buying!

We appreciated that they were quite responsive to our queries and always happy to articulate their point of view. Julia was very helpful during the PDI visit - even babysitting our 5 month old.

Sean, Julia, and Valerie did a wonderful job in helping me sell my home, making the process as smooth as possible. Sean is a numbers person and well in-tuned with the market, with knowledge and data ready at his disposal. He will patiently walk you through what to expect, and how to position your house for maximum value. As a result, I truly believe Sean was instrumental in achieving my desired sale price, and would certainly recommend Sean and his team. They've all been lovely to work with.

Sean is extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of time showing us things to look for (and avoid) when we bought our first home. He helped manage our expectations without being pushy which made us feel confident in our decision-making. He and his team, Valerie and Julia, we’re super responsive and helpful. As first time homebuyers, we were intimidated by the process but they made it as easy and fun as possible.

We've worked with Sean and his team on a number of real estate projects, each time with much success. Basically, Sean knows his business. He has deep market insight, understands what's trending, shares the potential risks, and supports the conversation with relevant data. Sean enters into all client conversations prepared with worst, and best case scenario. You can expect no surprises (except the good ones). Julia and Valerie are equally professional, timely and knowledgeable partners to work with. In such a competitive environment, this team know how to deliver!

Our experience with Sean and his talented team was exceptional. From the outset, Sean provided a great overview of the process, set reasonable expectations and helped to identify key selling features and limitations. The entire team was professional, efficient, knowledgeable and interested in our input and perspective. In an unusual market situation, Sean carefully navigated and negotiated the way to a sale over list price. The service and support was outstanding all the way through the process, but that last 24 hours demonstrated what it means to work with a winning team!

We bought a condo through Sean and were very impressed with Sean and his team. He is professional and very knowledgeable about the local market. He is easy to deal with and doesn’t use high pressure sales tactics. He took us to see 2 units in different buildings and gave us quick and knowledgeable assessments of their value (and made it clear we could keep looking for as long as it takes). He quickly identified the pros and cons of both properties and was up front about that. His ballpark views on what the condo we were interested in would likely sell for were pretty accurate, and the deal was done quickly. He also followed up after we bought, to let us know what the other condo sold for, to demonstrate some of his points. His professional opinion was very much appreciated throughout.

Our experience with The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group went far beyond our expectations! Sean and his group made the process of selling our home in the Riverside South area very smooth and comfortable.
We had had numerous meetings with prospective agents after we had made the decision to sell our home, however, the only one that left a lasting impression was Sean. He was very well prepared with area specific trends and offered great insights into the state of the market. Sean was the only agent that provided us with realistic potential outcomes with respect to how the property may fare on the market. It was an easy choice for us to go with Sean to sell our home as we appreciated his level of knowledge, dedication, and transparency he showed prior to even becoming our selling agent.
Working with the team, Valerie and Julia, was a delight. They were very helpful in setting up all the logistics for staging, photography, inspections, and everything in between. They were always available for any questions we had and made us feel at ease, which we really appreciated as it can be quite stressful selling/moving. For example, while our property was on the market for viewings, we were out of town, but someone from the team made sure to come by and check on the property, turn off all lights and even water our plants if need be. They really went above and beyond.
Sean and his team were able to sell the property after one day on the market and for over asking. Sean’s expertise and skills in negotiation were evident as we navigated through the initial offer, counteroffer and finally the acceptance of the offer.
We are very thankful that we chose The Guy with The Dog Real Estate Group as they made our first experience selling a property a memorable one!
Thanks!

Sean helped us find a place in Ottawa which was no easy task considering we were living in Toronto at the time. Sean and his team were extremely communicative throughout the process and answered all of our first time home buyer questions.

We would use his service again without hesitation. Thank you Sean and team, for making this a great experience.

Sean and his team are professionals, plain and simple. They helped us make all the correct decisions when selling our investment property in this crazy real estate market. The first hurdle was to get a difficult tenant to move out. Our property manager declined to intervene. Sean on the other hand, used his amazing negotiation skills to work out an agreement and consequently we were able to put the property on sale earlier than expected. Julia and Valerie were amazingly responsive to all our emails and messages regarding a wide range of unexpected details that had to be handled in a timely manner. We know who to call for our next real estate transaction. Keep up the excellent work Sean, Julia & Valerie!

Sean and his team are outstanding and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone, including our family and friends. During our recent home purchase and sale, we were able to benefit from Sean's experience and insight into the shifting market trends to maximize our return, even as the strategy was a bit of shift from what everybody else was doing at the time.
Sean is a self-professed data nerd & does a fantastic job of keeping a very close eye to the analytics and trends, which is crucial when buying or selling a house. Sean's attention to customer care, detail and follow-through is also outstanding, and this is something that is shared across his entire team.
We have bought & sold multiple properties with Sean's help over the past 20 years and we couldn't be happier with his team's service. He's the best there is!

This was my first experience with Sean, who came highly recommended from my sister. From the first time we met to discuss the sale of my Father's house, Sean demonstrated a great depth of knowledge on the current market trends, how things were evolving in the market, how to increase the value of our property with minimal effort and cost and much more. Throughout the process, communication with Sean was great and we met several times to go over the best strategy based on market trends and indications that the market was shifting. All of this led to a very successful and low stress sale of our home, exceeding our expectations in every way. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sean in any future real estate transactions.

I'm very pleased to have been able to "virtually" list and sell our condo with a minimum of inconvenience. Sean and Valerie took care of all aspects of the transaction in a very friendly and professional manner. They are a great team and certainly helped reduced the anxiety surrounding the sale of our property.
thanks

This was my fourth transaction with Sean, he and his team are always extremely attentive and professional. His knowledge of the market and up-to-the-minute trends is astounding. We were able to sell our home for over asking, and couldn't be happier with Sean's service. He certainly rises above and beyond all expectations.

This year started off with a bang as we purchased a home and then sold ours within about a month. We could not have asked for a better team to work with than Sean and Valerie. Sean was honest, professional and a voice of calm as we navigated this stressful process. Sean and Valerie answered every question that we had and in a timely fashion. With only one phone call, we felt that we could completely trust Sean and this was not by reading his credentials, he proved it by being a great agent and being involved every step of the way. His knowledge of the market was outstanding and he is just an all-around pleasant person to work with. The Guy with the Dog Real Estate team provided excellent services along the way, from recommending lawyers, to a staging consult and an awesome building inspector for our new home as well as the one we just sold. We cannot recommend Sean and Valerie highly enough. They are definitely who you need to reach out to if you ever decide to purchase or sell your home. Thank you so much and we are so grateful to have worked with you! -Susanna & Pete

Sean and his team were fantastic! They assisted us in doing a fast turn around on a purchase and then with selling our house. We were provided with market and pricing strategy, a full home inspection and staging consult all as part of our package. It took so much stress off our minds to know we were doing everything possible for a great sale. We were also receiving constant updates from Sean and his team throughout the process and never felt we had to go chasing. In the end, we received a great price for our house (over asking) and sold on the first day we accepted offers.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sean on the purchase of our home. He was AWESOME!
We found Sean online through his website and were really impressed with his monthly videos of the housing market in Ottawa and all of the glowing reviews. We decided to set up a meeting with him and it was a great first impression. Not only that, our entire experience with Sean, from that first meeting to closing on our new home, was superb.
During our first meeting, we let Sean know that we were new to Ottawa, didn’t know much about the area and had only a general sense of what we wanted without knowing if it was even within our budget. Sean was very open to all that we had to say and was confident that he could help us find our home. At this meeting and through to the end, we never felt that Sean was being pushy or that he needed to make a quick sale.
Our search criteria took us all over the place – from suburbs in Kanata, quaint neighbourhoods in towns like Metcalfe and Kars, and everything in between. Sean was very patient with us as we navigated the challenging market and as we tried to narrow down what we could live with and couldn’t live without. He was very attentive to our wants and needs and was able to provide a lot of insight on properties and whether they really offered what we said we were looking for. Sean was always very responsive to our requests and always got back to us very quickly, whether it was about setting up viewings, offers on places we checked out, and updates on offers we submitted.
Sean and his company, “The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group”, provided us with exactly what we needed for our home search. He is well connected and offered us many referrals along the way and ultimately, ended up being a one stop shop. Sean was very professional, well informed, and truly an expert in the Ottawa housing market.

I cannot say enough about Sean and the experience he brings to the table. Sean sold me my house 14 years ago and then he just sold it to new buyers this week. His service is top notch and his team goes out of their way to ensure you get the maximum value for your house.
On a side note, Sean isn't just a great real estate agent but he is a great person who gives back to his clients and to the community. Since purchasing my house 14 years ago I have enjoyed a free Christmas Tree as a "thank you" to his clients, I have enjoyed family movie nights and Sean also collects food for the food bank to help out those in need in the Ottawa area. He is an all around great human being.

Seriously cannot say enough good things about Sean. He was knowledgeable, professional and had so much to offer as a real estate agent. Any time we had questions or concerns he was able to explain and answer immediately. Any time we went to see a property he would point out possible problems. He gave his best opinion and at the end we found the house of our dreams. If you are thinking of buying property just listen to me and get this real estate agent, you will not regret it.

A big THANK YOU to Sean McCann, Valerie Hollyer at The Guy with the Dog Real Estate Group. Sean was so easy to work with, he totally got that our home wasn't just another box in the neighborhood and devised a great strategy that sold our home in seven days and well over asking price. As a natural, professional worrier, I can say that I slept well throughout the entire process. Sean is simply the BEST!!!

We recently purchased a new home and sold our old one with Sean's help. Our experience with Sean and his team has been fantastic. Even though we made it clear on our first meeting that we were uncertain that we would buy, Sean was always available on short notice to help us visit houses and to listen to our needs. He quickly understood what we were looking for and always highlighted how he felt houses stacked against our criteria and where they might fall short. He was patient with us, never pressured, and clearly understood what we were looking for. After purchasing a house, he and his team did a remarkable job to help us show our current house in its best light and helping us select a strategy for the sale. They went out of their way to make the final "prep" week as manageable as possible and to ensure that all the boxes were ticked. In the end, our house sold in a little over 30 hours and above asking. Once again, Sean helped us navigate the process, kept us informed, and listened to our approach. All in all, our experience with Sean and his team has been great and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their property (we have actually recommended him to friends already - several even asked us about him based on the quality of our listing!). We would certainly hire him again if ever we decide to move again. Best of luck Sean and most importantly, thank you!

Our experience with Sean started a year ago over a phone call. Sean was gracious with his time and guided us through some emerging trends and statistics are we looked to purchase our new home knowing that we were not going to be listing our home for another year. We stayed in contact through the year as the landscape began to change with Covid-19, a red hot market and competitive offers continued to rise. Through his suggestions and guidance we prepared our home in a manner that aimed to maximize our potential returns. When we got closer to listing times, the rest of his team made it an effortless process. We had a great listing, photos, and showings. All though the process we will in full communication with Sean and team. He guided us through some competitive offers early on the the process and ultimately his advice and patience yielded us an even better return. Business aside, Sean and his team have treated us exceptionally and I can see why Sean came highly recommended to us.
I would definitely recommend Sean and the entire Guy with the Dog team.

We would highly recommend Trevor to anyone looking to purchase a new home. As first time homebuyers we had a million questions about the real estate market and purchasing process. Trevor was easily accessible and promptly answered all of our questions without judgement. He was very knowledgeable and showed us what to look for while viewing a house. He helped us stay positive through the ups and downs of the whole process and was very accommodating to our hectic schedules. Even during a world wide pandemic Trevor managed to make our dream of buying our first home a reality. He followed up with us several times to answer any questions and make sure everything was going smoothly. He was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier.

Trevor went above and beyond in supporting our house search. We were picky house-hunters who asked a lot of questions and often came seeking his advice. He was always patient, responsive, considerate of our process, honest, and helpful. In an extremely tricky market, he fought for us, and after much hard work from Trevor we found an amazing new home. We couldn't be happier, and we are so grateful for Trevor's top-notch services from beginning to end. Thank you!

Our experience with Sean was excellent. He graciously helped us navigate the market for over a year as we slowly narrowed down what we were looking for. He was always responsive, professional, knowledgeable and just generally helpful all around. We knew we could count on him for good advice and felt cared for as clients. Sean got us got outstanding results both on buying our new home and selling our current one. Valerie in the office was wonderful too. She answered our questions promptly and patiently walked us through all the paperwork required. Sean and Valerie have all the details covered and the experience of buying and selling was seamless. Would highly recommend them for buying or selling!

Trevor is literally the best.
I was a paranoid first time home buyer with lots of questions. Trevor answers all your questions.
He is very knowledgeable when it comes to homes and things to be cautious of as a buyer. He has great contacts such as lenders and lawyers that are just as good as him. He's always available and gets back ASAP, call or text. I'm really glad I got to work with Trevor and plan on doing so if I ever need to buy/sell/rent a home.
Thank you Trevor!

My husband and I listed our first home with Sean. We had owned it for 12 years and had both our kids there. Sean walked through the house and gave us "our must dos", "our nice to dos" and "our definitely don't put money into" list. We did all the updates requested by Sean. He selected the listing price and selling strategy based on the neighborhood. Our house was on the market for 7 days (with offers held). It sold following a multiple offer situation well above list price. The support we received from Sean and his team was invaluable. We were well supported throughout the entire process. This included having beautiful professional photos taken along with a pre-list professional home inspection. There were no-delays from our optimal timeline. A larger house around the corner on a bigger lot sold the week before ours for substantially less. Without Sean, his knowledge and professionalism along with his wonderful team we would never have had such a successful and painless sale. I fully recommend Sean and his team without reservation.

Outstanding service, genuinely nice people and very knowledgeable professionals. This is my 5th real estate transaction with Sean and I would recommend Sean to anyone looking for an agent. With Sean there are no surprises, he is punctual, knows the local markets, is happy to explain the where/when/what/why of things and is a good listener. Sean is there to help you, at no point did I feel like I wasn’t in charge. When I reached out he was always available to talk, bounce ideas off or answer my questions, if I left a voicemail or sent an email he would respond quickly. Sean is really good at his job but more importantly he is really good person, you will have no regrets buying or selling with Sean!

Sean and his team were absolutely fabulous throughout the whole homebuying process. As a first-time homebuyer, I had SO many questions, and the whole team was unwavering in their patience, support, and generous with their wealth of knowledge. Working with Sean specifically was a pleasure - personable, smart, kind, and he has a great sense of humour, which really helped me stay on an even keel during what can be an emotional process. Sean's experience really came in handy at every juncture - at every viewing I learned something new, and really benefitted from his honest assessment of each property. I really appreciated his candor, and his ability to really frame the pros and cons of each property we saw really helped me to contextualize each property and decide what it was worth to me. On offer days he was super available and always updating me, and helping me think through my strategy, which I truly appreciated. In sum, I can't recommend this team enough - always available, super helpful, and an incredible office. I'm so happy to say it has been a great experience for me, and it's thanks to them.

If you’re looking for your first or next home, stop the search because you’ve found the right people to work with. I promise you that.
Approaching a first time home purchase is certainly never an easy experience and I honestly don’t know if I would have been able to make it over that mountain of an accomplishment without Trevor. Life has its ups and downs and my adult life was a rollercoaster that at times had me feeling a home purchase would not be a reality.
From day one my experience was unbelievable. I was first given the opportunity to sit down and have a very real, honest, authentic and sincere conversation about my life’s journey that got me to where I am today. Trevor made absolutely certain to understand me as a unique client as opposed to just another person. The level of thought and care put into the initial approach is paramount to any good working relationship - and he nailed it.
Buying for the first time made me extremely nervous and as such I knew this process would not be easy and would take time for me to better understand what I needed and wanted. Trevor understood this very clearly as well. He provided outstanding support and guidance as we learned about the market, explored varying options that suited me, narrowed our focus in on the right fit and then started to get competitive in our approach.
As far as I can tell his approach to working with a first time home buyer is unparalleled and I can be certain this shines through with all the clients he works with. He showed honesty, empathy and thoughtful listening skills right from the first meeting all the way to the grand finale. 10 years ago I would never have imagined that owning a home would be a possibility for me and I was able to get to a stage where that became possible. I can honestly say that I would not have a home today were it not for his support and guidance in getting me comfortable with taking those important first steps.
The real estate team very clearly knows the business inside and out and work together to achieve a strong support system. 2020 has been an interesting year and there were times where I worked with Sean as well. It is clear that this group is absolutely aligned in their values and approach, as Sean exudes all the same qualities I listed above.
In a world filled with salesmanship, games, pressure and many other ways to be uncomfortable in a major purchase such as this, it’s amazing to know there are talented and genuinely kind agents out there to help uneasy buyers like me complete a 10 year journey in the best way possible.
Thank you Trevor. Thank you Sean. You are both integral parts of my life story now thanks to your tireless efforts and sincere approach to finding me the right first home.
Be it your first, fifth or forever home - The Guy With The Dog Real Estate Group are the ones to choose.

This was my 2nd purchase using Trevor as my real estate agent and first time using The Guy With The Dog. Let me tell you, this was the best experience I could ask for. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, things went smooth as butter. I purchased a new home and sold my old one with little to no stress. Trevor and his team really take care of you and make you feel at ease during the whole process. They even provided face masks, hand sanitizer and latex gloves for the home visit, again, taking the experience that one step further. The sale of my home went exceptionally well, Trevor and his team gave me the pointers I needed to really stage my home well and gave me advice on little things I could do to really improve the look and net the most showings possible. Let me tell you... it PAID off REALLY well, and I can promise that I will always use Trevor and The Guy With The Dog real estate. Again, thank you so much for this awesome experience and easing this process for me.

Sean McCann is top notch. He has helped my husband and myself both sell our homes. He gave us good advice on how to prepare the homes for sale, when to list them, and how to place an appropriate value on the homes. In both cases they sold within 48 hours and for asking price. So then we recommended him to our friends and they all had excellent experiences. Sean and his team seem to have a very good understanding of the market, and are always ready to help. We would not go to anyone else when we're ready to sell again.

There were competing offers on the home and he was able to get it for them at a great price. The kids were so happy! Being a parent can be a scary experience for the parents. Sean and the team were awesome to the parents too! I would recommend him and his team to anyone. Thanks Sean

First buying experiences are not always as shown on HGTV! I had none of the excitement shown on TV. I was a nervous, didn't want to become "house poor" and had a lot of questions. I meet with several realtors and all they did was send me listing upon listing of homes for sale. Sean and his team was different, they only showed me listings that met my requirements (not something I couldn't afford) and answered all my questions. They made the house buying experience reassuring and have continued to provide answers when I had market questions. Highly recommended.

Sean's advise and support do not end once keys are handed over. When I've had questions or concerns related to the house, Sean has always been quick to respond with advice or a referral. His commitment to clients is above and beyond. When the time comes for another move, I will definitely be calling Sean.

He was completely honest about every home and was never once pushy or just looking to make the sale. He genuinely cares about his customers and really makes this whole process so much easier. He had great contacts for home inspections and mortgage brokers as well, which was amazing. We literally couldn't be happier!!!! Can't wait to move into our new home!

As first-time homebuyers, we were so grateful to have found a real estate agent with such professionalism and expertise. Working with Sean was a valuable experience; he was able to guide us through the entire process by breaking down such an overwhelming task into manageable steps, and by providing us with reliable contacts for lawyer and mortgage broker services. We found Sean to be very knowledgeable of the different communities in Ottawa, and based on our requirements, he provided us with great recommendations. Most importantly, he went above and beyond by negotiating a fair price on our house that had multiple competing offers; it is only because of his exceptional service that we are currently living in our dream-home! We could not recommend him enough!

Sean McCann is a superstar! I have purchased and sold 5 properties with Sean. His MBA serves him well in developing a strategic plan when selling homes, even in tough markets. He never over promises but always delivers a win-win outcome. On the flip side, he generated competitive bids when we sold our last home and we got double digits final offer. I have recommended Sean to my friends who equally say that he is the real deal. He is a keen listener, patient, great business acumen and an amazingly kind person who loves to share a laugh in stressful situations. I highly recommend Sean.

We used the Guy with the Dog to sell our condo and purchase our house. Sean is very knowledgeable and super easy and nice to work with. His purchasing agent that was assigned to us left the company in mid-transaction but Sean made sure to step in himself and finalize everything. Sean and his staff were super patient with us when we were not sure where to buy and went with us all over the place to look at houses. This is the second time we’ve used this realtor and will do so again, if it comes to that again. Although, I did say that they will have to carry me out feet first from this house. LOL

We chose to work with Sean as we were looking for an agent who had experience navigating a very challenging housing market. Sean's expertise, patience and guidance did not disappoint. He was always very responsive and worked around our busy schedules to set up viewings, discuss objectives and strategy and get to know our needs. He ended up helping us find the perfect home which ticked every box on our 'wish list'. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Sean is very knowledgeable about the housing market, can explain any thought he has, complex or simple, and make you feel like it was a good thing that you asked for clarification if you were unclear about his thoughts. I would recommend working with Sean and his team to anyone either buying or selling a house. I looked forward to every step of our selling process, and the energy that Sean and his team had to add to entire experience.

I took a long time to define and refine what I wanted, and Trevor was an invaluable resource to help find the right house for me. Trevor and his team were exceptionally patient and accommodating during the time we worked together. What I most appreciated was their knowledge and honesty; they didn’t try to push something on me just to make the sale. The level of care and responsiveness, even after the sale was completed, is quite simply outstanding. I can’t recommend Trevor highly enough!

Sean and the team at Guy with the Dog Real Estate have been amazing since day one. As a first-time home buyer, I had very limited knowledge about the real estate market or even what I was looking for. Sean was extremely patient and gave so much of his time to show me various buildings, models, and price points. Even after a year and a half of being indecisive and unsure, when the right one came along, he was quick to jump on board and see that everything ran smoothly. He has an outstanding knowledge of the market, what to look for in a home, building types and what makes them unique - that after working with him I came away with far more than just my first home. I would recommend Sean and the team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell and look forward to working with him again in the future.

We are so happy we found Trevor. The first time we met him to find a rental after moving from Alberta, he left us with such a positive experience that we reached out a year later to purchase our first home in Ottawa. He's genuine, professional, knowledgeable about the housing market, understanding, and very responsive. He guided us through the process, was very patient (even when we were indecisive), and worked until the late hours to help meet our needs. He exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He also knows some of the best places to eat, people to contact (his referrals are excellent), and highlights of Ottawa - he reflects and represents the best of Ottawa.

Trevor Sanna was excellent to work with. He took the time needed to provide my husband and I with great service. He was not pushy in any way. He was honest and frank and super pleasant. He was also very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Ottawa and educated us on what we needed to know to make a good real estate decision. Trevor also followed up with us after our real estate transaction was concluded. He is among the best real estate agents we have dealt with, and we have bought and sold 9 homes.

I have bought and sold twice with Sean and Trevor was in on the second buy. Sean started working for me ages before I was ready to sell my house. He was there to give suggestions to help me prepare the house for sale. Although he knows what he is doing and knows the markets he is still prepared to listen to what I needed.
When I am looking to buy again in the future they will be the first people I turn to.
Thank you.

Sean responded to my request to list my property quickly and delivered on a speedy sale in an area far out of the city. He knew how to navigate the complexities of real estate sales, multiple offers and kept me informated and at ease through the entire process. Always quick to respond to any questions. Wouldn't hesitate to contact Sean for future real estate needs.

Sean and his team are amazing. If you are looking for an agent who cares about what you want, what price range, location - you have come to the right agent. Not only do they care about you at the time of purchase but keep in contact with you for years to come and fill you in on house pricing and helpful tips for keeping your house market ready. Amazing !!

It was amazing to work with Sean McCann in so many ways when we bought a triplex !!
He found us, exactly what we were looking for in exactly the neighbourhood, we were looking in.
His knowledge of the market is outstanding in terms of what is available, his ability to compare properties - Sean knows so much about how buildings are built & what sets one apart from another in terms of dollars - incredibly knowledgeable, timing of offers, how to present the offer, negotiating the offer - invaluable advice.
Sean is also an absolute pleasure to work with - he gives clear, concise information. He very much cares for his clients - he is sincere, has integrity & is very smart !!! We will always choose Sean as our agent !!!

Sean & Trevor are fantastic agents start to finish! Trevor spent a long time helping us find the perf ect property (again!). He took time, care and a lot of effort to understand exactly what we were looking for and went over and above many times to ensure a successful purchase. He was super responsive, understanding and completely open and honest throughout the process. We would highly recommend Sean, Trevor and The Guy with the Dog team to anyone looking to buy or sell in Ottawa.

"Sean, Trevor, Valerie and the team were absolutely outstanding in the sale of home. Sean's knowledge and understanding of the market and approach to selling were instrumental in the quick and low stress sale of our home. Trevor was also fantastic in helping us find our new home. We appreciate the time he has taken to help us find the right place and his ongoing support. The whole McCann team is very professional and welcoming. Thank you so much for all your hard work!"

Sean McCann is a true professional in the real estate business. He is trustworthy, hardworking, always within reach and he was fully committed to our goals. We knew that selling our condo unit would not be easy. It took a while but thanks to Sean's guidance and perseverance, we were able to sell the unit very close to our initial asking price! We know who to call for our next property transaction.

My husband and I consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have had Sean represent us in the purchase and sales of several homes in the past. This time was no different. As a military family, we have moved many times and Sean's expertise, advice, patience and wonderful sense of humor help to alleviate much of the stress associated with frequent relocations. For our latest purchase, Sean went above and beyond in dealing with our specific needs, our inconsistencies in where we wanted to live, and my pickiness with houses more generally. Throughout this experience, he raised considerations we didn't think of and always had our best interests in mind. Whether it was seeing houses, taking our calls or responding to emails - Sean was always available and happy to help. Without Sean (and we can't forget Valerie!), we never would have found the house that we did. We're so excited to move in! They are the absolute BEST and I will continue to recommend the Guy with the Dog to all of our friends.

"We have bought and sold four houses with Sean and his team. Every home we have listed with him has sold in a few days and for over asking price. His negotiation skills are top level. His ability to help clients find a sound investment has become something we depend on. He represents himself, his team and his clients' homes uber professionally. He and the whole team are well-respected, completely reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Truly."

"We bought our Barrhaven home from Sean when we moved to Ottawa in 2007. He provided us sound, well documented advice on area values and what we should expect to pay for the property we eventually purchased. We have had ongoing contact with Sean & his team ever since as they are very active in the community. When we decided to downsize Sean again provided sound, well documented advice on the current market and a realistic value we should expect for our home. The house was listed on a Thursday and sold within 5 days with 2 offers over the asking price. Sean is unbelievably accessible by phone, text & email. We received 'Platinum Service' and have no hesitation in referring Plum Realty to everyone!"

"I worked with Sean directly to sell my home in central park. I interviewed him as an agent and he impressed me with the confidence and factual numbers he displaced in what was the proper price point to sell my house. He provide excellent advise and answered all of our questions. The rest of his team were efficient. The house sold in 5 days for my asking price."

Up market. Down market. Sideways market. Doesn't seem to matter. Sean and his team worked tirelessly to help us through this estate sale process and ultimately got us exactly what we needed (++)
