Tammy Harper
Amazing team!! I have bought 2 properties with Greg Wands help and both were very easy and pleasurable experiences. No stress or pressure!Greg is friendly, organized, knowledgeable and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend Greg and would ask him again for our next purchase or sale.
German Navarrete
I met Greg Wand few months ago when I was looking for an investment, things changed along the way and every time I had to changed what I was looking for, Greg was there for me, very professional and always ready to help. Just few days ago I found what I was looking for, the best location , and suitable for what I was looking for. However when I put an offer, there were other 9 offers for this place!I was reluctant in the beginning to start my offer as per Greg recommendation. Despite this, he left this up to me. I accepted his suggestion and with a few more critical decisions and good guidance. That evening I received the great news the house was mine!Not only him but Hudson and his team helped me when I was look for assistance.Way to go Greg. Thanks for your patience and help!
Jonathan Cosby
Hudson was awesome for me and my girlfriends purchase of our first home. Worked very hard to find us places, gave excellent honest advice and walked us through the whole process. I plan to use him again for any future purchases!
Geoff Patterson
An amazing team approach. Couldn't have asked for more!
Nic Durish
When it came time to sell our house this Fall we were given strong recommendations to go with Greg Wand by a number of our friends and colleagues. And we couldn't be happier with our decision!Greg and his team at Hudson Smith Real Estate group acted quickly to ensure we took advantage of the market, and were able to go from our initial consultations, to staging, listing, and ultimately selling all in less than 3 weeks. Throughout that time Greg was always available, worked long hours, and consistently ensured every part of the process was done with quality. Thanks again Greg!
teresa tibbetts
Hudson and his entire team are the only real estate professionals I will ever work with again! They co-ordinated everything that was needed to make a sale happen in this difficult market. I can't thank them enough.
Melissa Tayes
We highly recommend working with Greg Wand and the Hudson Smith team. We were able to purchase our dream home after touring many different houses. Greg is very knowledgeable and gives great advice on so many different aspects of purchasing a home. There were a few different bumps in the road and Greg handled them very professionally. We were happy to have someone who knows the ins and outs of real estate. Thank you again!
Robert Jessup
Hudson and his team are professional and wonderful to work with. Greg was in contact with us daily/weekly to keep us up to date on our listing and with feedback from potential buyers. This really helped reduce the stress of selling a house as we were part of the process. We both sold and purchased a house with Greg and would recommend the Hudson team as they get the job done!
James Luxton
Another amazing experience with Hudson Smith and team. I can’t thank you enough for your hard work and professionalism throughout the entire process.
Matt Jessup
Highly recommend the Hudson Smith Real Estate Group!!
Harvey Marmurek
Hudson and his team were outstanding. Attention to detail and customer care (keeping the anxiety low) are the hallmarks of excellent realtor service. We recommend Hudson and the team enthusiastically.
Azfar Usman
We had made a quick decision on selling our home and purchasing a new one. Hudson and Mat made it an extremely seamless process. They understood our needs and were able to find us that perfect home. The whole team was also very friendly and helpful. They really took the stress out of the whole process. Thanks again.
Erika McNeilly
This is the second time we have trusted Hudson, Greg and team to help us purchase and sell a home. Their expertise and guidance during the unpredictable housing market allowed us to find a home that met our families needs. They were always very quick to respond to any questions we had and one of the team was always available even on short notice to visit any potential property. I would highly recommend working with these agents!
Mike Carrigan
I have worked with Hudson and his team for the past 6 years or so on three different real estate transactions and each time I have come away extremely impressed with their knowledge of the local marketplace, their market research and help and assistance in the sales process including amazing staging of the properties and final sales negotiation along with help through the final closing period. Would highly recommend Hudson and his team to anyone looking at buying or selling their home in the Guelph area.
Emily Damstra
We had a great experience working w/ Greg Wand. He was knowledgeable about the local market, responsive, and decisive. We felt like we could trust him so we'd certainly work with him again and recommend him to others.
Rhonda M
Our experience with Hudson & Mat and the entire team exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful that we chose to work with the Hudson Smith Group while selling and buying. The whole process was managed professionally. They were always quick to respond, accommodate our schedules, and provide advice. We were especially grateful for their expertise during negotiations. We were able to achieve beyond what we hoped for and now find ourselves in a new home that is perfect for us. We would easily recommend them to others!
Michael J Brohman
Mat and Hudson helped us find our first home this past fall. They were fantastic every step of the way, from helping us decide the type of house we wanted, to steering us away from houses that were over-valued. Ultimately, we moved into a home that ticked all of our boxes, and we will highly recommend using Hudson's team to all of our friends and family.
Josh Fell
Hudson Smith and his team did an excellent job with the sale of my property and the purchase of my new home. Highly professional, caring and attentive, they perfected every aspect of buying and selling a home. They made it easy for me and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Hudson without hesitation. They are a team you can trust. E. Brown & J. Fell
Duncan Cumming
Very friendly team. Know the city and how to price effectively for results. Would highly recommend.
Pam Millington
Hudson, Mat and his amazing team!Our recent move from Toronto to Guelph was an excellent experience ..from our first contact with the office and speaking with Jordyn I felt a high level of professionalism.. then upon meeting Hudson it was clear we were in good hands He gave us professional insight into the different areas of Guelph and immediately set up a daily online search for us Mat was always there to take us on our house tours, showing patience, knowledge/history of the houses that we viewed ..always maintaining a good sense of humour whilst giving us solid and honest advice…. ultimately helping us to secure our dream home. Thank you for all of your professional care and surprise basket! great experience.. great team .. Highly recommendPam and Ethan
Melanie Weaver
We looked to Hudson and his team when we began searching for a new home in 2019. Greg took on the challenge of helping us find our next home during what was already a super challenging market locally and then during Covid, which proved to be a crazy, competitive market! Greg stuck with us all the way through and helped us 'win' our new home in October 2020. Greg, Hudson and the rest of the team, were fantastic to deal with! They were super responsive to every email, phone call and text, and handled our sale and purchase with utmost professionalism. We already know that if the time comes to look for a new home in future, we will look no further than Hudson's team, Greg in particular 🙂 Thank you!
G4 TON
We were both very impressed with Hudson and his team during the recent sale of our house. He has a quick and efficient team who responded to our many questions promptly and knowledgeably.Hudson is very aware of the Guelph market, he does his research, explains his reasoning clearly and offered the very best strategy for us. Hudson and his team did exceed our expectations.Thank YouLuanne and George Shirton
Scott Caverly
We found our experience with Hudson and his team to be very helpful, professional and accountable. They exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend them going forward!
Elizabeth Algire
Hudson and his team are fantastic! We had a lot of small questions that he was always happy to answer very quickly. Buying a house is a very big but equally quick decision coupled with a lot of "hurry up and wait" between formalizing an offer and actually closing. Hudson seemed to have unending patience for my "what happens next" questions. Shanna was a superstar and I don't think any question or request waited in her inbox more than 2 minutes before she had a helpful, informative response. Shout out to Mat as well for his friendly helpfulness and responsiveness. This is a very supportive team of real estate professionals.
Amanda Majszki
Hudson is very professional. When you buy or sell a house, you want good advice; Hudson provided great insight and advice when we sold and purchased a house with him. As repeat clients, he exceeded all expectations.
Endre Ekres
We recommend Hudson very much!You will get the most driven end professional realtor in Guelph!His team is very friendly and helpful.
Savio Leon DeSouza
Five stars to the Hudson Team, all the way. Eager, knowledgeable responsive, patient and friendly. And did we miss 'professional to the core'? Yes, add that one to the list, please - for every one on the team. Having that said, allow us to single out the young man who made our last purchase in Guelph possible: When you meet Matt Scott for the first time, the good looks and charm endear him to you. But when you get a mature intelligence that completely understands what your home needs are, and a character that endures patiently till the right fit is found, you know you are in the right hands. Thank you Matt, sincerely.And thank you Hudson (good foot soldiers are products of a Great Captain), Shanna, Jasmeen and the rest of the HS team.Savio & Beryl DeSouza
John Plunkett
Hudson and his team helped us to find the perfect house in Guelph. He is extremely knowledgeable of the Guelph market, was pragmatic in his approach and provided sound advice - it was much appreciated in the current market. Would highly recommend working with him.
Sean Broda
My wife and I were looking to buy in the Guelph to Kitchener area. We had a bad experience working with an agent in Guelph so we asked our friends, who recently bought in Puslinch, if their agent would be a fit for us... We can't even begin to express how unbelievable the Hudson Smith team is. Hudson called me within minutes of my first email and they started helping us immediately.As first time home buyers, we did not expect for them to be so personable and professional. The attentiveness and care they put in to helping us was unreal. This daunting task of trying to get into the market was taken off of our shoulders and we couldn't be happier.Greg Wand met us for our first showing and was the most honest and knowledgeable agent you could ask for. He found us a home in weeks and walked us through every part of the process.My wife and I are going to be able to live right near my family and raise our new baby in a home we only dreamt of.Greg Wand is the best realtor in the area and if someone wants to contest that... I'll see you in my new driveway to hash it out with some beers.Hudson, Shanna and especially the beauty Greg, we can't thank you enough for allowing us to start the new chapter of our lives in a home we didn't think was possible.Go Jays Go! Ford 4 life 😉
April Ricker
Once again an excellent experience with Greg Wand. Sold condo in 4 days over asking. Greg knows the Guelph market and is professional yet personable. We would highly recommend Greg.
S Sakev
Matt Scott helped us purchase our first condo. Our experience was great. Most importantly Matt makes things easy for you as a buyer. He was attentive, knowledgable and resolved our concerns / issues quickly. We sincerely hope to continue working with Matt in our future endeavours
Carol Powell
Hudson is excellent to work with! His professional opinion and knowledge of the market is extremely helpful. His team is quick and efficient and they made the buying and selling process very smooth.Thank you for everything!Mark and Carol
Ana Scott
Mathew Scott was very professional on the sell of our unique building, it was a historical commercial/residential property, he was up to the challenge and made sure we were completely satisfied. We highly recommend Mathew and the Hudson Smith Real Estate Group.

Hudson and his team have helped us with multiple sales and we’ve always been happy. They respond right away, have great advice, and are professional. Hudson and his team are genuine and we knew that they had our best interest in mind.
Pat Zadow
We found the Hudson Smith Team to be very professional and responsive in dealing with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home. Hudson also provided us with the best strategy for selling our home during these troubled times. The photography was excellent and portrayed our home in the best possible way without distorting pictures. We were always kept informed immediately after any viewings of our existing home by a phone call or text from Hudson or Matt. Shanna was also very helpful. We would recommend using the Hudson team to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home.
Andrew Strimas
Over the years in looking for a new home for our family, Hudson and his team were aware of everything we were looking for and always kept us in mind when a new house came on the market that met our wish list.When both buying and selling, Hudson and his team were quick to answer any questions that we had. They always took the time to explain each move, step by step.They were instrumental in the purchase of our new home. They also did an excellent job marketing, staging, showing, and ultimately selling our existing home.We would highly recommend Hudson Smith and his team.
Ian Macpherson
From first meeting to final sale, Hudson and his team were models of experience, professionalism and expertise. We contacted Hudson to express our interest in selling our home and downsizing and he offered very thorough advice on timing our listing to maximize market interest. Hudson prepared a detailed analysis of current listings and recent sales in order to suggest a fair and ambitious listing price. Once we were ready to proceed, Hudson already had a family interested in looking through our home and they very quickly made an offer that was in line with our asking price. Jordyn, Mat and Shanna also supported us through viewings of potential purchase properties and eventual preparation of our offer. We are now loving our new space! At all stages of the sale and purchase processes, Hudson and his team kept in close communication, clearly outlined all necessary steps and liaised between us and the buyers. We can highly recommend Hudson for his professionalism and knowledge of the Guelph real estate market and would not hesitate to ask for his help with our next transaction!
Jaxter99
I definitely suggest you call Hudson Smith if you are thinking of selling or buying a home. We were very pleased with everything from the first meeting with Hudson, the follow up visits, calls and emails during this process by Hudson and his team of professionals. We put our trust in Hudson with our most valuable possession and the results were tremendous. We were always made aware of everything along the way. We were happy to get a sale within the week after the house was posted. I want to tell you that the process was seamless and we picked Hudson from 4 realtors we interviewed because he is the BEST choice. We followed all suggestions and were very pleased with the result and of course... the quick sale.We highly recommend HUDSON SMITH to be your realtor.Jackie (Guelph, ON)
Jeffrey Hoffman
Professional, personal, persistent. Understood our families needs and hopes. Didn't stop until they found the right spot for us. The team does it all and really knows the Guelph market and how to market your home. Highly recommend Hudson and the team!
Bianca DiCarlo
My Fiance and I had such a great experience buying our very first home together! Greg Wand was amazing. He was very flexible and responsive and provided us with a lot of great information. He truly had our best interest at heart. He even went the extra mile to host a first time home buyer seminar. It was so informative and I am so glad he was our agent!
Mark Looker
Thanks so much to Hudson and the team for all of your hard work. It was not an easy decision to move a young family, but you all made it such an easy process for us, and we are very thankful for that. Your advice and support during the buying and selling process was incredible, it actually couldn't have gone any better for our sale or purchase!
Tarah Oskam
Thank you for all your help and dedication to making my parents home present beautifully! You are a master of your trade! We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor. It’s a bittersweet step forward knowing my parents are ready to downsize. Just viewing the video and the amazing photos I was in tears. You nailed the description of the home with pride in ownership. It's my parents dream home and my childhood home - it's where all our family memories were made. My parents are so impressed with you and feel like they’ve known you for a long time like an old friend. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Hudson! So appreciative of everything! ---- I HIGHLY recommend Hudson Smith Real Estate Group if you are looking to buy or sell. Dedicated, professional, extremely knowledgable and kind. Top Realtor in our books!
Madé Veiga
I would definitely recommend working with Hudson & his team if you are looking to buy/sell a house in the Guelph area. We worked with Greg and couldn't be happier with the attention we were given and with the house we purchased.
Craig Tschirhart
Hudson and his team worked extremely hard at finding us our home. Very knowledgeable, totally professional. Highly recommended!
Mike F. Jean
A bit biased but #realtalk, you will NOT find anyone who understands the dynamics of real estate as an investment. Hudson Smith will guide you to the best possible option for you and/or your family.
