About Mike Hooper

Five stars for the Hoopers! Late last fall, health and age issues necessitated selling our home of about 40 years and buying a condo. We knew the Hoopers both as great neighbor's and as real-estate professionals recommended by satisfied friends and relatives. We contacted Jeff and asked for help with this life-changing transaction which turned out to be a very good decision. The Hooper team, with the knowledge and experience of Jeff and the enthusiasm and energy of Michael, Derek, and the office staff, proved to be an efficient, friendly and professional group. They also connected us with a lawyer, house inspector, stager, photographer, movers and t...

My husband and I have done a few transactions with Derek and the Hooper Group in the past and recently he found us our new family home. We couldn’t be any happier with our purchase and with our interactions with the Hooper Group. Derek helped us with every step along the way. He was always very professional, patient and answered all of our questions promptly. Highly recommend!

I had a fabulous experience using Mike Hooper for the sale of my condo. Mike handled all aspects of the sale with skill, savvy and professionalism. My unit sold for asking even though three similar units in the building were listed at the same time. Beyond the great end result, Mike is a pleasure to deal with. He is super responsive, knowledgeable and happy to handle any question or issue – no matter how big or small – at any time of day. I love my new house, but I don’t dread the prospect of moving because I’ll get to work with Mike again!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Phil Lamothe for about 6 months to find our perfect home. We were from out of town and relied on Phil’s expertise as he repeatedly showed us the many neighborhoods around downtown Ottawa. He was so patient, pleasant and knowledgeable. We had total trust that he had our best interests in mind. He stayed with us right until closing. He’s a gem and we highly recommend.

When you look for the peers of the Hooper Group, one should only have to look at the top of the list of the best of the best in their field. Having experienced other Realtors, Jeff and his team have reinstated my faith in their industry with stellar results. Once again thank you for all you have done.

My wife and I both bought and sold a home with Derek this past year and we were very impressed with him and the whole Hooper team. On both the buying and selling end he was very knowledgeable, honest, and responded quickly to any questions we had. We never felt pressured and it was thanks to his foresight that we found our dream home. In the future, we will definitely be using Derek again for any buying or selling and would highly recommend him.

Derek was referred to us by a friend. We looked for a house with him for nearly a year and not once did we feel any pressure to buy. Derek always looked out for our best interests and gave us invaluable advice. When we did end up buying a house in Westboro, Derek negotiated the price down significantly. We highly recommend Derek and the entire Hooper Group Team!

Derek and his team are very professional and did an excellent job in helping us find our next home and listing our home. We were kept informed along the way and were provided with excellent advice on both the buying and selling process. We are so happy with the results!

My wife and I were suggested Hooper Group by a friend. Best decision ever! Working with Mike was great. As first-time homeowners we really appreciated the considerable time and effort he put in to carefully ensuring we understood each and every step of buying a house, and finding a home that fitted what we needed. Whenever we had questions or wanted to discuss things in more detail, Mike was always on hand to quickly and clearly talk us through any and all aspects and ensure we were making informed decisions. The guidance and support he gave us was fantastic - the combination of his detailed knowledge, level of organisation, and effective and highly...

Although our house has not sold yet, the Hooper Home Team has been working very hard to have this happen. We are very confident that they will do that. We are in a community that has not had any sales in the past year. So, given that, the research that they have done is extraordinary, analyzing properties in similar situations to ours and also analyzing the preferences of buyers. The information we get from Jeff is honest. He and his sons tell you the situation as it is, no embellishments. They work hard to sell your property and are very realistic in terms of what your property will sell for. Having said that, they will always try to get the highes...

This is the second time that we have used the Hooper Team in 18 months, first to buy our house and the second time to sell it. In both occasions the services and assistance were great. We found the house we really liked and purchased it for an excellent price and then recently they sold the house in less than one month in a challenging market.

Throughout the entire process, Derek was a pleasure to deal with.

After many years of renting out our heritage townhouse, a vacancy resulted in our decision to sell. We approached Hooper Group as they had assisted us with property valuations and an off-market sale seven years prior. We reside in British Columbia, so the choice of a realtor was particularly critical. Mike and Jeff handled the sale preparation as if the unit were their own. They arranged the necessary repairs, ensured the insurance requirements for the vacant unit were met, worked with our departing tenants in a professional manner, and communicated with us on an on-going basis. The promotional material and immediate open house resulted in multiple ...

We had an amazing experience with Derek, who helped us every step of the way in our long distance move from the GTA to Ottawa. Derek was professional, personable, accommodating and very knowledgeable. He guided us through the Ottawa real estate market and ultimately helped us to secure a wonderful house in a neighborhood we love. We would not hesitate to recommend Derek.
