In May of 2026, we wanted to sell my wife's mother's house in Cornwall. She had just entered her…read morenew retirement home, and it was time. We asked ChatGPT for a ranking of real estate agents in our area and this name ranked number one: Henrietta Duvall Broker of record/ Owner EXIT Realty Seaway Cornwall, ON We called the number listed and Henrietta answered right away. She said that she was with a client but would call back as soon as possible. She called back! We explained what we wanted to do and she set an appointment for the next day at the residence. She explained the sales process and without a signed contract, took a walk around the property and gave us advice on how to arrange the house for sale. The next day she sent a couple of recent sales stats from the neighborhood to help us come up with an optimal price for the house. In early August, we were finally ready to put the house on the market and Henrietta met with us again and we finalized a sales plan. The next day she had placed the FOR SALE sign on the lawn and had set up an open house for the next day. She had a photographer come in as well and she used the photos on her real estate page. We were pleasantly surprised by her enthusiasm and as she told us during our first meeting, she took her job very seriously and she worked for us exclusively. Her comprehensive knowledge of the local area and market trends was evident in her approach to sales. She took away all our trepidation about the sale and she went to work. We had instructed her to do what she was good at and sell the property without much involvement from us. She sure did, and after a couple of consultations with her she called and said that she had a firm offer on the table at our asking price! At this point the house had been on the market for two weeks. This was due to her strong negotiating skills and tireless effort to complete the sale. Thank you Henrietta for your compassion and understanding at this time in our life's journey, you certainly eased the sale of our mother's house. If we may, on a personal note, Henrietta is a lovely person who is very easy to talk to. We felt very comfortable with her the moment we met her.
