We first met Graeme when we called him out of the blue to look at a house last minute. As we continued to house hunt, we were fortunate to meet his partner Tim. This duo went above and beyond and made our house hunting experience truly enjoyable. Not only are they both knowledgeable, they have great personalities, are down to earth, and are common sense thinkers. I can honestly say they are two of the best we have ever worked with. I wanted to send a huge thank you to Tim and Graeme for helping us find the perfect house. I would highly recommend using them, and can guarantee you will not leave disappointed. You guys are the best!! Dave and Erin.
Read more >>This is a 5-star review from a happy client. A friend strongly recommended Graeme and his team to sell my mother’s Eastern Ontario home after she passed away. It can be difficult to go through the sale process after a loved one’s death, but Graeme was there for us at every step. He was exceptionally responsive to my questions by text, phone and in person. His advice and recommendations were spot on. With Graeme’s assistance, we sold the house within a week of listing it, even during a slow real estate market. I very highly recommend Graeme and the Barber McDonald Real Estate Group and I’d rely on them again without any hesitation.
Read more >>Tim worked hard to make sure that we were comfortable through each step of the buying and selling process. He was very patient as we looked at house after house, and always dug for answers to questions we had about each house. Highly recommend him as your next agent.
Read more >>We recently sold our house with Graeme. He worked really closely with us throughout the whole process. He listened to what was important to us, and helped us to achieve our asking price in a matter of a few days. He was incredibly responsive any times we had questions or concerns. It took so much of the stress away to know he was working behind the scenes for us and had our backs. He was warm and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Graeme and his team.
Read more >>Graeme McDonald sold our home on Brock St., Kingston, ON. From the start, he was very thorough explaining the process of selling property. This was extremely helpful to understand the legal steps involved. He advertised before and during the sale and presented the home beautifully. Within less than 24 hours we had a buyer which we had accepted. Graeme is energetic and on the ball for any situation that arises. I would highly recommend him to my friends, family and acquaintances.
Read more >>Tim, Graeme and the whole team are very professional, easy to work with and provide an excellent service to their clients. Nothing but positive things to say about them. Thank you for all that you do.
Read more >>Thank you to Barber McDonald Real Estate Group for looking after the sale of my parents home. Greame was very respectful of the situation we were in trying to sell the home when we did. He was so helpful and always eager to do whatever he could to make the process easier for our family. They found a buyer in the first week the house was listed. We are so thankful to Greame for his knowledge and professionalism in the Real Estate market. We would highly recomend them to all our friends and family Thank you for everything.
Read more >>We were very happy with our experience in dealing with this real estate group. Graeme McDonald is an excellent real estate agent who we found to be very professional and personable. He helped us in our house search by accommodating our different requests to see houses, often on short notice. He gave us very good advice which helped us find the right house eventually, all with good humour and kindness. We would definitely recommend him.
Read more >>Graeme McDonald came highly recommended as a realtor by friends of my wife and I. His recommendation turned out to be a key factor that ended our years-long search for the perfect home. From our first phone conversation with Graeme, we felt like we were in good hands. He quickly assessed our needs and shared with us the tools and knowledge that would empower us to make informed decisions and, eventually, prepare a competitive offer package. Our home-buying journey with Graeme felt very much like a “team effort.” He was always willing to answer our myriad questions with sound advice and effective guidance, which demonstrated his decades of professional experience in Kingston area real estate. We were truly fortunate to have worked with a realtor who is as dedicated, professional, and pers...
Read more >>Great job done by Graeme and Tim. Thank you for all the help finding my new home in Kingston. I highly recommend Barber McDonald Real Estate Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Kingston area.
Read more >>Tim Barber was highly recommended to us by a neighbour he had represented in our condominium building. We were told that Tim was great to work with and that he had sold their property at a record price. Tim did the same for us and exceeded our expectations. At our first meeting Tim inspired our confidence in him right away because he came so well prepared with knowledge of the building as well as our particular unit. Tim was very professional in all our interactions, was always accessible and prompt in responding. He explained the process clearly at each step and answered all our questions. Tim demonstrated compassion and sensitivity to the challenges of an elderly person downsizing and selling their home. He also provided excellent contacts for professionals required in the process...

Read more >>We used Graeme McDonald to help us re-locate from our farm in Saskatchewan to a farm in Ontario. He is by far, one of the best realtors we have ever dealt with.!! Graeme was patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable.. I am so happy we found him and we will recommend him to everyone we know. Our real estate lawyer told us that we had a fantastic realtor… and we have to agree. 👍🏻. Thank you Graeme.!!
Read more >>Amazing team! Tim (and Jackie) made our cross-country home purchase very smooth and saved us a lot of stress during our relocation. Tim went the extra miles to help us get as much info as possible about our new house and about the transfer process, which was very comforting and eased our first-time buyer-related anxieties. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling their home. These guys are pros!
Read more >>Barber McDonald Real Estate Group is the platinum standard in real estate services and all other realtors would serve themselves well if they took training from Graeme and Tim. Their follow-up was impeccable, advise was professional and unbiased plus they had endless patience. It took us 6 months to find a home, dozens of showings, multiple offers and through it all they were always encouraging, always positive and and counselled us almost daily so we wouldn't give up! Although we weren't first time home buyers we can't imagine better realtors for first-time, second-time, investors or any buyer who wants a quality, dare we say enjoyable home buying experience.
Read more >>I'm a realtor in Ottawa and I referred a family member to the Barber McDonald Real Estate Group to sell their home and they were very pleased with the service they received!! They worked with Tim Barber and he was prompt, professional, very knowledgeable and the communication was excellent. We highly recommend Tim!
Read more >>The Blakney and Barber team lived up to their reputation, when helping me find the perfect home for my move to Kingston. Chris spent considerable time finding and showing me many homes over a couple of visits to the city. Once we found the right home, Chris recommended a second visit, and then we immediately made the offer. This team is highly professional and really knows their business. Thanks especially to Chris who not only focused on the viewings, but also provided a lot of very useful information to help with settling into a new city. I will definitely refer this team to others!
Read more >>This is our second transaction with Graeme this year. We were referred to Graeme after trying a couple different realtors and not having the best experience. We were looking for someone who was professional, honest, knowledgeable, experienced, had patience, and would guide us through the process. Graeme is, and did, all that and more. His service is impeccable. He always goes that extra mile. We are real estate investors, but are new to this game and were looking for someone who already knew the rules...We did not want to miss anything, and of course needed to get THE DEAL done without any unnecessary stress.Mission accomplished!!! We got am amazing property on 4 acres of land with a pool, that has the sq footage we wanted that needed some reno where we can do our thing, bring the value up...
Read more >>Tim was recommended to me by my mortgage broker. Initially I felt that, despite being a first time home buyer I had done considerable research and satisfied my due diligence. I spoke with homeowners who had moved several times, I scoured the internet. To my thinking, if I went in alone I could secure a better price because the selling agent would be motivated to collect his full commission. The best advice I have ever received was to sit down and talk with Tim. I soon realized that I did not even know that which I did not know! I will not try to summarize all he taught me here, there isn't room. I will give you the bottom line. If I had proceeded without Tim in my corner I would have made a binding offer on a house that could not be mortgaged (not even the listing agent knew about tha...
Read more >>Tim and Jackie did a great job marketing and selling our house with a minimum of fuss and maximum professionalism. They were open and honest about market values, listened to our concerns and were able to steer us in the right direction for the sales process. Where they really shine, though, is in their skills as negotiators. We recommend Tim and Jackie and their team with no reservations whatsoever!
Read more >>Being military, we found ourselves posted, yet again. This posting was particularly challenging. as hubby was recovering from ankle surgery and I was soon scheduled for surgery myself. Tim connected us with handymen, dump runs and staging. Tim offered this help, even before we had signed with him. Everyone he recommended were professional, reasonably priced and a delight to have in our home! Tim and his team got our house sold in a timely manner, under challenging circumstances. We would highly recommend Tim to any seller or buyer. Thank you for all your help, greatly appreciated! Steve and Denise
Read more >>I have purchased many properties over the years and I can honestly say that working with Tim Barber is an absolute pleasure. His level of honestly and integrity are high, especially in an industry where this quality is very hard to find. You never feel pressured to make decisions, and Tim is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable with all the decisions that are made. There is no other Broker that I would use, and I will continue to use Tim for all my future purchases.
Read more >>John and the team were great to work with. Integrity and professionalism in equal measure!
Read more >>I just like to tell you how Great the Blakney and Barber Real Estate team was. We had another firm trying to sell our home for 2 teams so that is a total of 6 months and had very little action. I called the Blakney and Barber Real Estate team and we got the results that we want . We hired them in mid January and they came in and painted the house from top to bottom and then staged it for a very reasonable price . We got a " SOLD " sign on it within 2 months from the time they painted and stage it . To Get the Results you want this team is in your corner all the way. We can't thank them enough for all the hard work that they put in to getting that "SOLD " sign on our home . Everything was done from selling and closing within 3months . So happy with the job they did . Thanks again

Read more >>The Blakney and Barber Real Estate Team made our house selling experience so simple and pleasant - with their expertise in the housing market in Kingston they were the best choice we could have made - many thanks to Tim Barber and the rest of the team.
Read more >>Helpful for military moves: My husband and I got fast and helpful responses from first Tim, then Chris. Chris took us to view a couple of rental options on our limited house hunting trip, Chris showed us options in our price range (and no more) and went beyond to help us find what we needed in an unknown city. Very helpful and painless, plus he knew just what was needed to deal with Brookfield. Thanks so much.
