Testimonials

Hear from clients who’ve trusted us with their biggest moves. Real stories, real results.

We selected Slade to sell our luxury walkout bungalow. He was very professional and service focused, and patiently guided us through the entire process. Slade has an excellent understanding of the complex dynamics of the Saskatoon real estate market. He advised which buyer to target and a suitable target price reflecting a premium property. Slade arranged the professional photos for the listing, which were of exceptional quality. Slade was right on. The house sold in one day and above asking price. The quick sale exceeded our expectations and we were in fact surprised that this happened in one day, as were our neighbours. Slade provides superior experience and insight and is the ultimate real estate professional. We recommend him highly.

We have used Slade and Taylor to buy and sell 2 homes now and I can’t express how much I would recommend using them. They were extremely prompt and always available when we wanted to view houses. I had to view a few houses by myself which I was nervous about. However Slade was absolutely unreal for this. He always explained to me the concerns he had with houses so that I understood why it wasn't an ideal choice. When we found our current home I didn't even need to think if it was the right choice because I trusted Slade and his teams opinion so much. He was so knowledgeable about everything and anything house related and was able to make amazing referrals. Our lawyer completely dropped the ball and the lawyer he referred us to was great. He got us everything we wanted in the sale and purchase of both homes. Highly recommended.

Slade is so excellent to deal with. Communicates well, schedules and keeps appointments, and is very personable. He found us our dream home and got it for a good price. We couldn’t be happier! 2022 update - we sold our home and upgraded to an acreage with Slade. Slade helped us not only sell our home, but get above asking. He then turned around and found us a beautiful acreage for below market value. Slade knows his stuff and wants you to get in a good house. He’s not just trying to make a sale. In fact, a couple of times he saw major red flags and said to us “I don’t think you should buy this house.” I personally really appreciate the honesty and integrity that he brings. 10/10 I would work with Slade again!

Slade came to our rescue after another agent made some mistakes with the listing and selling of our home. Slade worked swiftly to create a new listing, promote our house, and ultimately get it sold for the price we wanted! We were so relieved and happy. When it came to finding us the perfect home, again Slade worked tirelessly to ensure this would happen. He was so very patient with us as we were very particular and determined not to settle. In the end he found us our dream home and negotiated successfully so that we stayed within our budget. Slade is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I doubt there is a more trusted or experienced realtor out there. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. Thank you Slade!

I wholeheartedly recommend Slade Desrochers. After consultations with other realtors with expertise in the Broadway/Nutana area, we chose to work with Slade. There were many factors in Slade’s favour: he was highly knowledgeable about the market; he was kind, patient, respectful and responsive; he listened — and truly heard us; he conducted himself with integrity. In a nutshell, Slade came across as both a highly capable realtor and a decent person. Happily, our experience with Slade bore out our early impressions. Where Slade really shone was in his pricing expertise. Slade was able to price our home at its true fair market value. This is a significant skill that set Slade apart from the other realtors. Slade was methodical in his pricing, demonstrating in-depth knowledge about the market and taking a thoughtful, logical and mathematical approach. And it worked - we had a quick and successful sale. Later, when there was a hiccup during closing, Slade was calm and cool and helped to facilitate a resolution. Slade was a class act from beginning to end. Slade knows what he is doing. Most importantly, he values integrity. I thoroughly recommend Slade. Thank you, Slade!

We would highly recommend Slade to be your realtor! My boyfriend and I recently purchased our very first home in the summer and could not be happier with our decision. Slade’s team was amazing with us along the way in finding our perfect home. He explained the process of buying a house to us and what to expect. Slade was very patient with us and took the time to figure out exactly what we wanted out of our first home. He was able to find properties in the city that were exactly what we were looking for and set up viewing appointments quickly before they sold. Slade will always have your best interests in mind and will be honest with you during this process regarding what you may be purchasing. We highly valued his opinions as he has great knowledge within this industry. On our possession day, Slade was there with us to view the property once more as well as go through all of the areas that were to be fixed before we took possession to make sure they had been done. Thank you Slade for a great experience with purchasing our first home!

Me and my girlfriend hand a great experience with Slade in buying our first home. Very honest. Upfront and looking out for your needs. Slade showed us through multiple properties, pointed out the pros and cons to each. Being very honest to our wants and needs. He always informed us on hot buys when he came across the perfect fit. Upon walk through of the house we ended up with he was very thorough on all things that needed to be fixed and or replaced before we took possession from the current owners. Once we took possession he was there to congratulate us and ensure all was taken care of as for repairs. Thank you Slade for such a great first time buying experience!

I was referred to Slade through a friend who was very happy with her buying experience. Slade and Taylor really are the dream team!! I managed to find a really challenging seller to deal with and if they didn’t tell me all the fun they had, I wouldn’t even know!! Slade took care of all the issues and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Sure saved me a lot of stress. I would highly recommend Slade and Taylor to anyone!!

Definitely, we are very pleased with Slade. We asked him to help us with selling our house and purchasing a condo. Not only did he provide exceptional service with the above, but also he gave us valuable advice for getting our house ready for listing. This is where his many years of experience shows! Once again, thanks a lot, Slade!

Slade Desrochers and his staff provided excellent advice and services with the result that our son sold his townhouse for the price and in the timeframe that we had in mind. Slade was particularly helpful in preparing the property for sale on an expedited basis and at a reasonable cost.
