Fred DeCarolis - FredHelps Team Lead / Head Coach Revel Milton

About Fred

Hi, I’m Fred DeCarolis from the FredHelps Team based out of Milton, Ontario. My family moved to Milton in 2007, and we absolutely LOVE it here! I'm slightly addicted to basketball, and proud to have the opportunity to coach the kids in the Milton Stags. That addiction continues into the pros - I've been a Raptors fan for over25 years, I went to Golden State to watch a finals win in 2019, and I have the ONLY framed set of full season's tickets from the first year the team was born :)

I’m so lucky to be voted in the Top 3 in Milton’s Favourites Realtors year after year – thanks to the huge support we have in the community, our team is always near the top in terms of production here in town. In fact, for 2018 AND 2019, Milton has voted us in FIRST PLACE across all companies as Milton’s Favourite REAL ESTATE OFFICE! With opening up the Milton Revel branch in 2020, I also was honoured to win Milton's Favourite Brokerage as well, ahead of all the big brands. A total of almost 20 community awards including Milton’s Favourite Home Staging, AND Milton’s Favourite individual Realtor (among thousands of realtors across dozens of companies), over the past 10+years. These are the only awards that are important to us, because they are coming from YOU the public, not our own companies.

About The Team

Want another ‘heard that before’ Real Estate bio? Perhaps a cheesy bus ad or advertising flyer? I didn’t think so.. Why? Simply because Real Estate needs to change…

In fact, Real Estate IS changing, and I’m proud to say the FredHelps Real Estate Group is one of the drivers of this change. Fair rates, flawless customer reviews online, and FULL service – not the “FULL SERVICE” you see on flyers and door knockers that go straight in to the recycling bin, ACTUAL Full service… (we pump our money into home improvements to help sell, as opposed to self-promoting newspaper or print ads)… Installing lavish drapery, modern light fixtures, and if we see some spots on your mirror before a showing, we’ll track down your Windex and take care of that too. We stage every home we list. Full concierge-level service to keep your stress levels as low as possible, all while not charging anywhere near ‘full price’ – That’s “Full Service”.

Real Estate is one of the top 3 hated professions in the world – we recognize that, we don’t deny it — and that’s one of my biggest drivers for change. Many of our clients come to us saying “I worked with _____ before, and it was terrible”. Real Estate services are expensive, so we should strive to provide the BEST service possible, regardless of whether the listing is $200,000 or $2 million. Every negative story people come to me with absolute turns my stomach, but is also the fuel that drives us to keep impressing every client that comes our way.

We know you are paying GOOD money to a Realtor, so we should do everything we can to prepare, market, and sell your property for the most money to minimize the impact on your bottom line, AND make you feel that you got very good value for your money once the transaction is complete.

There are many good options out there, and you have the right to choose any Realtor you’d like. We don’t want to fight that and try to trick you into signing using pressure sales tactics – we prefer to have a casual conversation about the services we offer, and if we both feel there’s a good fit, we’d LOVE the privilege of working our butts off for you. IN FACT, we do the exact opposite of pressure sales. When you sign on with the FredHelps Group, you’re never stuck – you get a blank cancellation form and can cancel at anytime, to make SURE we stick to our word and continue to work hard every step of the way. You’re never trapped, and that means we’re ALWAYS on the ball every day we’re working together (another change from the usual, hearing stories from people trapped in with Realtors they are not happy with).

Just because we’ve won the top awards and continue to get positive online reviews (thanks to my clients for those!), that will never make me believe we should charge more for the services the FredHelps Team provides. Some brokerages try to push the old school sales tactics and try to overcharge – to that I laugh and see it in the eyes of the client – what is a fair price for the services we provide, AND what type of value-add is most important and most effective in the current marketplace?

I’d like to bring our team's services to you, and show you how we can make the real estate experience easier for you. Even if you’re not looking for a Realtor, we LOVE sharing ideas and talking Real Estate – helping people is our number one driver, and the clients, results, and growth of the business has taken care of itself.

This industry is changing; throw the 1980s sales tactics out the window – a lot changes in 40 yrs, and we are constantly adapting – it also helps that I’m proudly an IT nerd – using the latest online marketing tools, Social Media ad targeting and RE-targeting, Google Adwords, maximizing SEO results, and ALL for selling our clients' homes instead of promoting ourselves as a service provider.

The FredHelps Real Estate Group — Proudly Revolutionizing Real Estate in Ontario – it’s not just a tag line, it’s the way we run the business. After all, you are our prospective clients, and your happiness and satisfaction is of utmost importance! If we don’t have happy customers, then we don’t have referrals, and no long term business.
