Bitcoin And Real Estate

Bitcoin And Real Estate Bitcoin and real estate, has anyone actually bought or sold their home with bitcoin? The answer is YES! Bitcoin is already accepted in many retail outlets and restaurants, so it's no surprise that this has extended to real estate as well. According to an article at CNBC, "it was only a matter of time before the cryptocurrency took on real estate. That time is now. Bitcoin is slowly making its way into closings on everything from Lake Tahoe land in California to Manhattan condos to single-family homes in the heart of Texas." Ben Shaoul, president of Magnum...

Bonnie helped us find our first home! She was a pleasure to work with - always responsive and punctual with a fun personality to boot. It took almost six months to find what we were looking, and Bonnie guided us the whole way. We appreciated her knowledge and experience, especially when it came to holding out for what we really wanted. There was a property we were sold on, but it had some major drawbacks. Bonnie was able to give us the confidence to hold out for something better, and we are so glad we did because the home we eventually found had everything we wanted. Thank you, Bonnie, for all your help!read more

We’re residents of California and recently had the pleasure of working with Bonnie to purchase a vacation condo in Old Town Montreal. Bonnie was recommended to us by another American and what a great recommendation! Bonnie and I talked by phone a few times to get to know each other and so she could learn what we wanted and our tastes, and we emailed listings back and forth before our trip to Montreal. Bonnie planned a full afternoon of condo visits in different areas of Montreal and chauffeured us around to each one--her parallel parking skills are unmatched! : ) Back in California, we decided to make an offer and Bonnie answered all our questions via email and phone, and guided us through making an online offer across a continent. Sadly, the owner opted to pull their condo off the market. Bonnie rallied us and we continued to look at listings. Several times she previewed condos for us, sending photos or video. After a second trip to Montreal to visit (and revisit) condos with Bonnie, we made another offer, which was accepted. Next Bonnie helped arrange or provided info for an inspection, Canadian home insurance and banks, and the electric and phone/internet companies. She put us in touch with the condo association and procured documents for us. When my husband flew to Montreal for the signing, she drove him home from the notary, and later took him around Montreal to get key copies and try to find an open bank (holiday weekend). Bonnie went above and beyond for us time and time again, with a great sense of humor and a lot of patience. We can’t wait to get back to Montreal to use our new condo, and look forward to seeing her again. We highly recommend Bonnie for anyone who seeks to purchase property in Montreal and wants a smooth and enjoyable journey to success!read more

I had a great experience with Bonnie Meisels. I had recently moved to Montréal and I was looking for an apartment to rent so I decided to use the services of a Real Estate agent. She was the first one I called and I was really pleased with her professionalism and her prompt response to my request. Within a few hours she sent me a bunch of listings to look at and she followed up on them. She provided a great service and I highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for a Real Estate agent.read more

Bonnie was extremely professional and helped me immensely in finding the right place for me. Always on time and always honest. She didn't try to put me in a place that wouldn't be right. We visited many places until we found the perfect spot. I would definitely call her again next time I'm shopping around for a place to live.read more

I had a great experience working with Bonnie. I was coming from outside of Montreal, and Bonnie spent a generous amount of time explaining the intricacies and subtleties of the Montreal market. She is very experienced, and knows the city of Montreal very well. Her recommendation of inspector was top notch. Bonnie is the consummate professional, detail oriented, and was very thorough in arranging my purchase. I recommend her highly, and would happily work with her again.read more

Bonnie’s strength is her caring follow-through. She is quick to respond, and when difficulties arise, she is an active and effective advocate. As foreign buyers our situation was especially complicated, but Bonnie patiently explained things and guided us through, during the sale and beyond. It really helped to have someone on our side.read more

Bonnie was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and was very knowledgeable about the market in Montreal. Phone calls were prompt and informative, and our visit to Montreal to view listings could not have been easier. My father and I would strongly recommend her to anyone -- student, business, or otherwise -- looking for real estate in Montreal!read more

I cannot believe that anyone else would have been so dedicated and devoted to me during what was a very trying period in my life, as it is for most people selling their home. Bonnie supported me mentally and physically through the entire process. She worked tirelessly staging and updating the house staging at every turn. She is a true professional and a great person. She did what no other agent would have done... She did everything!!!!read more

Bonnie is amazing! She walked me through the process of hunting & buying a condo, gave me advance notice about all sorts of fees and paperwork to be completed and was just fantastic for me, as a first time home buyer. She responds quickly to texts and emails and is very available over the phone. Not even a broken foot could keep her down! I was a little concerned about choosing a realtor over the internet and going with someone I didn't know, but I'm very happy that I did. Two thumbs up from me. :)read more

Bonnie was incredibly attentive and put up with a myriad of different requests from myself - including when I needed to change the number of bedrooms - with nothing but kindness and understanding. She found listings that were exactly what I was looking for, and went the extra mile to ensure both myself (and my dog) found the perfect home. Couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome; strongly recommend.read more

Bonnie was the most helpful broker I could have asked for in finding me a rental unit on short notice. From our first chat I could tell Bonnie cared immensely, and wanted to ensure that I ended in the unit of my dream. Bonnie more than delivered and spent countless dedicated hours to helping me. I really cannot thank Bonnie enough for everything. If / when I'm ready to buy an apartment, Bonnie will be my first call. Thank you Bonnie!read more

We had a great experience working with Bonnie. She came recommended to us by our real estate agent based in Toronto. This was our first purchase in the province of Quebec (which meant learning many new rules and processes). Bonnie was very patient, thorough, and helpful. She answered all of our questions quickly and made the process quite seamless, considering we were managing all of this at a distance. High recommended!read more
