Shamir provided a great service, and more importantly a good strategy to obtain the best money for the sale of our house, which was sold for more than we expected. Subsequently, he assisted us with our next purchase, and again his input and strategy helped us reduce the asking price on the home purchased. We have already recommended Shamir to friends and will continue to do so for both purchasing and selling homes in the Ottawa area

We bought our first house with Shamir and it was nothing but pure positivity. Others have remarked on his knowledge, his dedication and his passion, and we can attest that these are definitely attributes that Shamir possesses and brings to bear to the benefit of his clients. But aside from that, what really set him apart for us were three things: 1. When I was first evaluating Shamir as a potential realtor, he told me "You will have to convince ME that you should buy the house". This was an interesting thing to say and really showed Shamir's personal dedication to ensuring that his clients avoid the many pitfalls in real estate and end up with a property that they will love and that has good present and resale value. Let me tell you, this was KEY during our home buying experience. Walking through a house with Shamir is an interesting experience: he notices everything, sees through the gimmicks and zeroes in on areas of real concern. More importantly, he speaks honestly and calls you out when you are blinded by certain aspects of the house, or emotion. In our case, this helped us pass on a few properties that we were interested in, but in retrospect, would have been a disaster! 2. Shamir is a busy guy, but you would never know it as his client. He was incredibly responsive at all hours of the day, and equally pleasant at midnight during the week as at 8am on a Sunday morning, or while he was at the gym. Simply put: at all times, we felt like we were Shamir's only, most important clients, and that he was there for us. I KNOW this is not the case with many realtors, and it's a great quality. 3. Shamir will call you out if you're wrong and is not afraid to be direct, yet stays respectful. In the heat of negotiation it sometimes felt like I was arguing with my brother, not my realtor; but the love and good intentions were there. Again, this is a rare attribute not to be overlooked! End result: We bought an incredible house, below asking price in a starved market, that is better than what we were willing to settle for. We are prophets of the "Daya Difference" and BIGUP to Shamir!

Shamir was able to do the impossible....we thought our asking price was a moon shot...he beat it by 25000. As expats who were far away, we felt secure in the knowledge that Shamir was looking after every detail. Short, painless and profitable.....is the best way to describe our experience. Many thanks Shamir!

Shamir was able to help us find exactly what our needs were as first home buyers and put them into action. He was diligent at finding homes that might suit us, and helped us through all of the sometimes confusing bits of purchasing a home. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and not for a moment did we stress about his capabilities as our realtor. A great person and a great professional. We recommend 10/10.

Being first time home buyers and new to Ottawa, we had no clue where to start. We were referred to Shamir and it could not have worked out better. His professionalism and knowledge put us instantly at ease. Shamir made us feel like we were his priority by understanding our needs/wants, answering all our questions, suggesting neighbourhoods in our price range and guiding us through the home buying process (connecting us with a mortgage broker, lawyer and home inspector). We would highly recommend Shamir Daya Real Estate for your next home purchase!!
