“We first used the services of Don Travers approximately 5 years ago when my daughter purchased a condominium in Waterloo. Don and staff were efficient, friendly and helpful at pointing out the difference between a Condo Purchase and a House Purchase.
For the past couple of years I used Don’s associate Rinus Pais on several occasions for witnessing legal documents related to my corporate board work. Most recently, Rinus and staff helped in the sale of part of our farm to Wellington County. This ended up being a complicated situation when it was discovered that an old mortgage on our property had not been properly discharged. This situation had been missed by our Toronto-based lawyers in the 1980’s and the root cause of the issue was with a larger Toronto-based firm dating back to the 1970’s. Due to the determination and resourcefulness of Rinus and staff the the mortgage was discharged and the sale was completed. More importantly, we cleared up a serious title issues that would have held up the sale of our farm in the future.”
“The entire process was professional, comfortable, without stress and instilled confidence. You have a well trained and well screened staff. Your principles and ethics are evident in all encounters with everyone we spoke or met with. Thank you!”
“A large part of being a successful Realtor is to surround yourself with the best available professionals as part of the “value added” extras that I can provide to my clients. I have referred my clients to Don for years and they have enjoyed excellent service and representation. I’m not just an advocate, I’m a client myself as Don Travers has handled my personal and professional legal needs for almost 20 years.”
“I was amazed at how easy my experience was, and how friendly all the staff were. I would definitely use Paquette, Travers & Deutschmann again and would recommend them to my friends and family”
“I recently completed two real estate transactions using the services of Paquette Travers & Deutschmann. Even though one of the transactions was quite complex, Don and his efficient, professional staff made the process go extremely smoothly. Their attention to detail, responsiveness and vast experience resulted in a worry-free transition into our new home. The perfect combination of professional service and personal care leaves me with no reservations in whole-heartedly recommending Don and his team for your next real estate transaction.”
“I have known Don Travers for over 30 years personally, and have had business dealings for the last 20 years! Don is an outstanding lawyer, honest, dependable, conscientious and a pleasure to work with! I have the highest respect for him and would have no problem recommending him to anyone!”
“My husband and I recently sold one house and purchased another. Mr. Travers and his staff completed both transactions for us. The process was handled professionally and seamlessly. Moving has it’s own stresses, but in this case they were minimized by their help and competency.
We recommend Don Travers and his staff to others who require the services of a reliable real estate law firm.”
“Don, I just wanted to send you a quick message of thanks and great job. Your team (specifically Stephanie) was able to sort out some challenges and issues (not created by your team!) quickly and effectively for my client on both the Buy and Sell side. I have recommended your firm a few times and the folks that took my recommendation have not been disappointed and always been extremely satisfied. Thank you again!”
Warm Regards,
“My entire experience with your company was professional. The staff always helpful, and I felt very comfortable leaving everything in the hands of Paquette Travers”
Don Travers and staff have always done a wonderful job for both myself and the clients that I have consistently referred to them. Don and team always make themselves available for questions and concerns that buyers and sellers have and will take your calls anytime before during and after your sale. Highly recommend them!
