Responsive has had the pleasure of collaborating with Kristen and Derek at Bloomr for the past five years, with our efforts focused primarily on the buy side. Most notably, Bloomr facilitated our acquisition of an excellent site in Burlington – this proved to be a complex and contentious transaction, which Bloomr was able to successfully navigate.

Working with Jodi has been a wonderful experience. She has helped the retirement home succeed in many ways. Her style and work ethic makes Jodi a pleasure to work with.

Kristen and Derek continue to introduce us to other sites, opportunities and strategic connections in the industry. In our recent divestment activities, we have turned to Derek and Kristen for market and valuation guidance, and help identifying likely buyers.

I’m grateful for the consultation and guidance throughout the recent sale of Vistamere Retirement Residence. The deal was far from easy, but Kristen and Derek’s market and industry knowledge, negotiation skills and tenacity kept the deal alive through to a successful close. From the beginning, I felt I could trust them with the sale of Vistamere and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I have been working with Kristen Forster and The Good Life Real Estate Group™ on the sale of my commercial property in Oakville, and from the outset, I was impressed by their depth of market knowledge and strong industry relationships.

Kristen demonstrated a clear ability to manage the broader transaction while keeping the process moving efficiently. The sale involved multiple complexities, including demolition, environmental assessments, and a zoning change. With the support of The Good Life Real Estate Group™, she coordinated each step thoughtfully, introduced the appropriate professionals, and ensured the process remained organized and on schedule.

Kristen and her team also brought forward serious, well-qualified buyers. While negotiations are ongoing, the process has been smooth and well-managed to date. We have worked through a period of political and market uncertainty, and throughout that time Kristen and The Good Life Real Estate Group™ have remained steady, responsive, and consistent—support that I found extremely valuable.

I greatly appreciate the professionalism and guidance provided by Kristen and The Good Life Real Estate Group™ and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking knowledgeable, well-connected, and reliable commercial real estate representation.

We first partnered with Kristen in 2023 to establish our Burlington office, and again in 2025 when it was time to expand. She took the time to truly understand the nuances of our scaling business and how that translated into the right space and lease terms. Her commitment, patience,  and attention to detail made the entire experience exceptional.

In these challenging times, with good sites and opportunities being hard to find, Bloomr’s imaginative approach, hard work and extensive network really make things happen and have proven invaluable.

It is my great pleasure to provide this testimonial for Kristen Forster, who guided us through the purchase of the property at 1921 Snake Road, Burlington in 2020.

From the very beginning, Kristen’s support was invaluable. She assisted us with every step of the process, from showing us the property and guiding us through the signing of the purchase agreement to negotiating the lease-back arrangement and coordinating financing solutions, and even helping with the permit application to operate a private day and boarding school.

The journey to closing this deal took more than two and a half years, and Kristen’s expertise made all the difference. Her deep knowledge of commercial property transactions, combined with her patient yet highly professional communication skills, ensured that we were always well-informed and confident in our decisions. Additionally, her extensive network enabled us to connect with all the necessary parties to move the process forward successfully.

Thanks to Kristen’s dedication and commitment, we were able to finalize the purchase of this property. I am truly grateful for all of her efforts and support throughout this long and complex transaction. Without hesitation, I would be delighted to invite Kristen to assist with all our future commercial property dealings.

Kristen’s professional guidance and market expertise is beyond compare. Her honesty, dedication and hard work navigated me thru evaluating, pricing, marketing, negotiations and the ultimate closing of my industrial property in Burlington – resulting in obtaining above market pricing for industrial space in Burlington.

She created a tailored strategy that highlighted the true value of my property and went above and beyond in every step of the process, from pricing and marketing to negotiations and closing. Kristen’s commitment, attention to detail, and ability to bring in the right buyers resulted in a sale price that went well beyond what I thought was possible.

To say I was pleased is an understatement!

She truly works for you and your best interests – a rarity in a business known for agents who just want to collect their commission and move on. I could not be more grateful for her direction, determination and insights. She truly elevated the entire selling experience. You would be very well served by her for any of your real estate needs.
