Travis Boughner - The I Mean Business Guy - Real Estate

Travis and his team are on another level. From the preparation, to staging to marketing, Travis has this down to a science. My wife and I were passively looking for a home, and a dream home opportunity suddenly came on the market. I got in touch with Travis and he was at my house that same day to start the planning.

He walked me through the process and only a few days later we had made the purchase! Fast forward a couple weeks and we put our current home on the market. Travis's team came to my house the next day and gave me my preparation plan. A week later they came and staged my home. It looked beautiful! I almost didn't want to sell it anymore. Travis sold for over asking in only a few days. All this in the middle of November and in a crazy housing market.

My family now gets to relax and enjoy the Christmas holidays knowing that we get to start 2024 in our dream home.all thanks to Travis and the team.

I would recommend Travis and his team to anyone. They all did amazing work in selling my condo. All very friendly, responsive, detailed, and informative. Everything involved in selling was done professionally, I couldn't be happier! Thank you Travis, Ethan, and Alex!

No negatives! Smooth process from beginning to end…Travis and his team are professionals who work hard to keep you informed and comfortable. The staging crew was amazing, 5 stars for sure. Would highly recommend!

This is my 4th time working with Travis and his team. And he’s once again exceeded my expectations (which he knows are always high! Haha) very pleased with our results. His team at feather and nest are the best! Thank you to everyone! I will never work with another realtor!

I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Travis!

Travis truly went above and beyond to make my house-selling experience incredible. His marketing strategy and market knowledge were top-notch. He showcased the unique charm of my home, capturing its essence in every photograph and description. I felt like he was telling a story that captivated potential buyers.

But what really blew me away was the staging! Travis and his talented team (huge shout out to Ashleen) transformed my house into a work of art. Every room was styled to perfection, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was love at first sight for potential buyers!

Throughout the entire process, Travis and his team were professional, responsive, and supportive. They were there to guide me, answer my questions, and celebrate each milestone. They made me feel like part of their real estate family.

I can't thank Travis enough for his dedication and expertise. If you're looking for a real estate superhero, look no further. Travis will make your dreams a reality. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend Travis! He sold our house in 5 days and we got exactly what we wanted (over asking!) His staging company is also really great! If you choose him you will not be disappointed in the outcome, he is so smart and knowledgeable in his field and explains everything very well to you.

We had been thinking about selling our first home for awhile but being first time sellers we were a bit reluctant as the process seemed overwhelming and finding our next home in this market seemed unattainable. Going from Bowmanville to Whitby and from a townhouse to a detached didn’t really seem possible. We found out about Travis and his team by seeing many of his listings and we were instantly impressed by the caliber of his social media marketing presence, the beautiful homes he always had listed and how meticulously prepared and staged they were. We met with Travis and he had a great approach, he was well informed, set clear expectations and briefed us on his plan for securing us top dollar. Fast forward a couple weeks and we had officially decided a list date. When you work with Travis you also work with his wonderful team, the Feather & Nest staging team (shout out to Ashleen and Katherine) were absolutely sensational, our house looked like something out of a magazine. We will be copying their ideas on our next house for sure. We also worked with his assistant Jade who kept us organized (and calm) during the process with constant communication and updates which we so appreciated during such a busy time. After over 80 showings our house sold in 4 days with multiple high quality offers. Travis knew we had high expectations and that this home was special being our first home and he completely surpassed our target goal and came up big for us. The success we had selling made the cumbersome task of buying so much easier and we were able to secure a detached home in our target neighbourhood for under budget. Travis respected that we were absolutely set on a detached house in one specific Whitby neighbourhood and we remained patient waiting for the right opportunity. Being a buyer right now can be scary but we actually had a lot of fun shopping. This entire process from start to finish only took two months as Travis and his team mean business and executed so efficiently and professionally for us. This means we get to be enjoying our new home before summer. We said we wanted a professional realtor that would take us seriously, and we ended up with just that but also a great friend:)

Olivia & Shane

We have had the pleasure of working with Travis and his team through the sale of our house and purchase of our forever family home. We were impressed from the moment we met Travis to discuss potentially selling our house. He was so professional, attentive, and honest with every communication. We never felt pressured into something that we didn't want, and was always given every option in every scenario along with his expertise. We could tell that we were in good hands and that our real estate team had our best interests at heart each moment. Travis and his staging team really put together a great plan to make our house stand out in this crazy market. It almost made me want to buy my own house! With a lot of ups and downs and surprises along the way we ended up in a position where the house we loved, and our house we were selling, were both holding offers until the same day. Travis worked so hard to not only sell our house for well over asking, but also secure our dream home in a multiple offers market! A long day, with a lot of emotions and obstacles and Travis was able to some how pull off a miracle. We are so excited we are going to a perfect house for our family and I truely don't think we could have put together all of these moving parts without this phenomonal real estate team. I will whole heartedly recommend Travis and his team to any of my family and friends when they are planning to sell or buy.

This is the second time we have used Travis to sell our house and like the first time he exceeded all our expectations. From our initial meeting with him, Travis came well prepared with a complete understanding of the current market in our area. Travis and his team provide the complete package for selling your home. His design team and stagers at Feather and Nest transformed our home to look absolutely stunning. While Travis went to work marketing our home through his substantial social media reach. We had over 50 showings and 6 offers in 4 days and sold our house well above asking price. If you are thinking of selling your house the only person you need to call is Travis and you will be glad you did.

We were referred to Travis and his team by someone we knew who used him to sell their home a few months back. This was a huge and quite honestly, scary decision for our family. The thought of selling our first starter home was overwhelming to say the least. From first contact Travis was prompt and extremely understanding. He came by within a day of contacting him, walked us through his process and answered all of our questions. We could tell from that first visit we were in good hands. We learned that he and his team are a smooth operation. We let go of all worry and trusted his process. The result was selling for more than we ever thought possible and giving us a huge leg up in this new start in life. From beginning to end we were well looked after and we can’t thank Travis and his team enough. If you’re looking to sell or buy give him a call. We can guarantee it will be the best call you ever make!

Erin & Peter

Travis was able to go beyond expectations in his approach to selling my home. With his knowledge, we were able to get my house sold after only 3 days and way, WAY over asking. His dedication to selling your home is unmatched and will be using him to buy my next home.

Travis and his team sold our father's home in just a few day thanks to a well thought out plan, clear communication, professional staging, and an " I mean business" attitude. Travis provided the options to sell the family home and by putting our trust in him it resulted with a quick, smooth sale and a profitable outcome. I highly recommend Travis' real estate services.

I would 100% recommend Travis and his team. Travis isn’t about putting a sign on the front lawn and sitting back. He goes above and beyond, from the cleaning staff, staging and more importantly, leading us through the selling process with confidence. We are incredibly happy and would recommend Travis without a doubt! Thanks so much Travis we are speechless with our deal and grateful for Team Travis!

My husband and I were first time sellers. I saw many posts from Travis on Facebook/Instagram and truly believe an online presence is super important in selling a house.

We contacted Travis, he was very responsive and got back to us within a few hours. A couple days later we met with him and he explained in detail his plans for selling our house. Travis is extremely knowledgeable in the industry. Everything he said made so much sense to us and we felt very good about hiring him to sell our house. Travis and his team work like a well oiled machine, they truly are experts! Everything is thought of. The stagers, Feather and Nest, did an amazing job staging my house. It looked absolutely beautiful. The cleaning lady Lisa and her partner were so friendly. The video and photos by Jeff and Maddox Media were fantastic, his handyman Jeff was super helpful. His assistants Jade and Melissa were very responsive and on top of everything. Nobody missed a beat!

Overall our experience selling was extremely positive. The process was so smooth and as stress free as possible for us. Our house sold for almost 200k over asking price! We were very happy with sale price. I would highly highly recommend Travis to anybody looking for a realtor and I would definitely use him again to buy/sell.

Thank you so much Travis and the IMBG team! You guys were amazing!

Travis and his team have been amazing since day one. Travis was available so quickly to meet with us when we found our future home. Once we purchased, it was full steam ahead on selling and Travis and his team were beside us every step of the way. Jade was so helpful to answer every question we asked, and Feather & Neat Home Staging did a fabulous job staging our house. With the teams expertise, our home was list and sold in a matter of days. We are so happy to have worked with the IMBG team!

This is the 3rd time selling/buying, and the first time using Travis. Moving forward he'll be the only realtor I'll be using. Not only is he responsive, but also extremely detailed and scheduled. Everything was done on time and we sold for well over asking, much quicker than we anticipated. We discovered Travis through his fantastic online and social media presence that went into quickly selling this house. Not only is the staging quality higher than any other house we've seen on the matket, but the detail that went into it was meticulous. You won't be underwhelmed or disappointed going with Travis and his team!

We are so thankful for Travis and his entire team. We started speaking with Travis a few years ago after seeing his amazing Facebook marketing. He always answered any of my questions/inquiries and never made us feel like we were wasting his time. I knew the person/team I wanted to list our home when we were finally ready. The amount of work that goes into the preparation of your property to get the best offer is beyond anything we have seen with other agents. The pre-listing cleaners/stagers did such an amazing job. Travis got us top dollar for our home. We will be forever grateful. He really means business!

I first reached out to Travis about three years ago, to ask his opinion on what updates/improvements should be made to my home. Even though I wasn’t ready to sell at that time, he was more than happy to stop by, meet with me and offer his advice.

Fast forward to January 31,2021. I made the call to let him know I was FINALLY ready. Within a week, the sign was on the lawn, house was staged and up for sale and it was GO time. Four days later, there were multiple offers and my house sold firm.

Travis’ no-pressure approach is quite impressive and much appreciated.

I would also like to note: He really does “Mean Business”.

Our family recently sold our first home with Travis and the IMBG team. From start to finish the entire experience was exceptional and something my family and I will never forget. From the minute we met Travis, we felt a sense of relief. He was attentive, very honest, personable and has such an engaging personality. Travis never hesitated to take his customers experience to the next level, beyond what was expected.

Deciding to sell your home during a time when the world is experiencing a pandemic is nerve racking, but as sellers we were grateful to have the IMBG team representing us during this time. The professionalism of the entire team is obvious, this realtor knows what they are doing and they do it well. The IMBG team was not only able to sell our home quickly, but with multiple offers and above asking.

What Travis and the IMBG team delivered is definitely hard to find. From the connection the team had with us as clients, to doing what ever it takes to get positive results, it was clear the IMBG team is one of a kind.

Feather + Nest - Interior Home Staging decorated and staged our home in a way to maximize its potential. Our home looked absolutely stunning, which made our listing stand out in front of others. They did an absolutely amazing job staging our home.

At the end of the day, selling a home that you love and have pride in is a stressful and emotional experience. Working with the IMBG team, has made it memorable, enjoyable, and ultimately an unforgettable experience.

I would definitely recommend Travis and the IMBG team to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home.

Travis, Michelle, Ashleen, Katherine and everyone else on the IMBG team, we thank you!

Keep doing what you are doing! You are all amazing!

My husband and I recently experienced what it was like to be one of Travis Boughner's clients.

We had our reservations about putting our home on the market during these most challenging times, but after meeting with Travis, and hearing his assurances, we went ahead and agreed to his game plan. We met with his team, and I have to give a shout out to Amanda Mugford, one of his agents, for her professionalism and sweet disposition throughout the entire process.

Additionally, the staging team with Feather and Nest went above and beyond to take good care of our home. They were able to showcase all that our place had to offer in such a way that on the first day when our home hit the market, an offer came in for exactly what we had asked for, and we took it.

This was truly a whirlwind experience, but one that I am grateful to have had with the I Mean Business Guy-Real Estate team.

We bought and sold using Travis and his teammates Amanda and Angelica. After months of home searching in difficult markets we finally landed our dream home! They made selling our house easy and his home staging team gave excellent advice to help move our home quickly. It was extra stressful buying/selling during Covid-19 but their expertise helped us stay focused. At the end they even gave us a lovely gift for our new home. We highly recommend their professional services! A+

I have worked with Travis and his team a few times now and each time they have blown me away with just how much they do and don’t even charge any more than anyone else. Everyone is so helpful and makes the entire process so easy! Can’t thank you enough for making our house so beautiful and desirable that we were able to sell for way more than we had hoped! Thanks so much for everything and will definitely use you again in the future!

I would highly recommend Travis Boughner and his team. They were always professional and responsive to all of my questions and concerns throughout selling my property. They make you feel as you are their only customer!

As first time home sellers, we went into the process feeling way over our head. The decision to buy and sell in this market was daunting but Travis and TeamIMBG were absolutely incredible. Their reputation online preceded them and they surpassed all of our expectations.
Even in this busy market, Travis was always available to call or return a text at all hours of the day. I honestly don’t think he sleeps! Same goes for Melissa, his Administrative Assistant. She would reply to all of our inquiries within just a few minutes which was incredibly comforting. We always felt like we were their most important clients.
We were skeptic to sell in December, and Travis respected that. We felt very comfortable during our first meeting with him and he didn’t try to push or persuade our decision. He never gave us fluff answers but instead relied on his personal knowledge of the market and backed up his claims with real numbers on properties in our area.
Our meeting with Feather + Nest designers, Katherine and Ashleen, was great! They are incredible at what they do. The pictures of their work speaks for themselves. We could only wish to have their vision when designing our own house! They know how to take a space and truly make it glow.
Lisa and the cleaning team were fantastic as well. Being clean freaks ourselves, I must say we were pleasantly surprised on how well a job they did.
The video team is remarkable. The angles they get with the drone and their editing skills draws in an impressive amount of traffic online!
Once the house was on the market, Travis made sure to call us every day with updates. Melissa would also send us an email with feedback from other agents and their clients. We always felt like we were in the loop. We were blown away by the number of showings and offers we received and we were elated to receive a firm offer well above asking.
From day 1, Travis told us he’s in this for the testimonial. He earned it. He would do anything and everything to gain the trust of his clients and make them feel valued. Walking away from this experience, we couldn’t imagine trusting our home with anyone else.
Thank you TeamIMBG! You certainly do mean business!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Travis and his team to sell our home in Whitby.

Travis came recommended to me as my brother had worked with him to sell his house a year prior. I was impressed with him and his team when we met. He walked us through some suggested upgrades to ensure we got the most bang for our buck, suggested trades people to do the work we couldn't do ourselves and his staging team made our house look beautiful and move-in ready.

Our house was on the market for less than a week and we were able to sell for WELL over asking. We were so pleased!

All in all, it was a pretty smooth process and I'd recommend Travis and the "I Mean Business Guy" team to anyone looking to sell.

The Bulgers

Travis and his team were absolutely amazing during the process of selling our home. Everyone was a pleasure to interact with, and the attention to detail was excellent. From our first meeting with Travis, through the staging with Feather and Nest, and finalization of our sale, we couldn't have asked for better communication and attentiveness. We wouldn't think twice about using Travis again, or recommending him to any of our friends or family.

Angelica was instrumental in helping us find our new "forever home". It was quickly clear that she listened to all of our wants and needs and helped to guide us through the process. Her advice was always spot on, and we trusted her completely. Again, thoroughly impressed with the service provided, could not have asked for a better experience.

Travis Boughner, the "I mean business guy", means every single word of it, and it shows at every single step.

Here's my story.

I started following Travis on social media a long time ago, and was always so impressed by his presentation of homes, as well as his results! The caliber of the homes he listed seemed to reflect his dedication to his craft. These results do not happen by accident. I knew that when the time came to sell my home that I wanted someone who understood the Durham region market, had a proven track record, was professional, as well as relatable and personable - which he seemed to be.

It was fate when the home we chose was listed for sale by Travis. That was my introduction to Travis, and the whirlwind journey to come. I can not reinforce enough what an amazing experience it has been with him and his amazing team of consummate professionals! I can not speak highly enough of each and every single person I came in contact with.

When Travis says "I mean business", he means it. Every decision made reflects this statement. He has his business processes down to a science, and a team that works seamlessly in sync, ensuring the end result is achieved with as little stress as possible to his clients.

Every decision made is done so with the client's best interest at heart. Oh, and there is a tremendous amount of heart included by every single member of his team. Their strive for perfection does not go unnoticed. It does not matter who on the team you talk with, or interact with, you are greeted with professionalism, as well as a sense of humour, and confidence that everything will happen exactly as it should.

Michelle Todd keeps you organized and ensures every email, schedule, text, document, and conversation is followed up on and lets nothing fall through the cracks. All done with a terrific disposition and sense of humour. Her calm reassurances eliminate any concerns you have.

Ashleen and Katherine of Feather and Nest, the in house staging team, are the dynamic duo, and are absolutely fabulous to deal with. Their eye for detail ensures your home will look fabulous in its presentation, with a warmth and personality to draw in potential buyers.

Every single interaction I had, whether it was from Marc who installed my sign, Lisa who cleaned my house, Chris and Chris who did the photography and videos, was delivered exactly as promised. They were on time, thorough, friendly, professional and focused on the end result.

The end fully and completely justified the means. Travis has created a dynamic team who clearly seems to love what they do. Each and every one has a vested interest in the outcome. His business processes run seamlessly and efficiently. His past experience, vision and honesty leaves you knowing you are in capable hands. Lastly his sense of humour allows you to enjoy the experience to the fullest.

I can not say enough about this team, and highly highly recommend that if you are in the market for a results driven team, look no further than the "I mean business guy" team.

A hundred times over, thank you to each and every one of you, for an outstanding job!

Sincerely,

Shari S.

We could not have asked for a better team to help us with the sale and purchase of our homes. From the very beginning they had great prompt communication. Travis has a great understanding of the market and was always confident in his recommendations that helped us quickly sell for over what we told him we wanted. The whole team, from Travis, the stagers, cleaners, photography and administrative support, everyone worked flawlessly together. We are beyond happy with the whole process and highly recommend!

When we decided to put our home up for sale, we could have gone with the typical sales teams you see all over, but after meeting with Travis, we were sold (pun intended)! Travis, Michelle and the rest of the team were very helpful throughout the entire process, answering all of our questions and helping to alleviate the stresses associated with putting our home up for sale. From the start, everything was clearly laid out and scheduled so that we didn’t have to worry about much at all. We did our part in taking care of a few touch ups around the home, but after that, cleaners were sent in, their designer/stager came and set up the entire home, professional photographers and videographers took pictures and videos etc.and everything was done on our schedule to make things that much easier on us! Once our home was perfectly set up, it was advertised with their "Coming Soon" campaign all over social media, which reached out to thousands of viewers before our home was even listed. Once listed, we had showing after showing right away and our home sold very quickly! We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Travis and his wonderful team to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Thank you so much Team IMBG!

Daniela & Aaron

Working with Travis and his Team has been fantastic. From the first meeting, to staging and home repairs, to photography, until the house was sold firm, we felt unconditionally supported and knew we were working with the BEST! Michelle ensured no detail was missed and was available whenever we needed her. She is supremely organized and even sent a closing checklist to ensure the moving process after close went smoothly. Crystal from Feather and Nest Staging made our home look beautiful. She tied the whole house together so well it looked better than it ever had before. Selling a house and moving is always very stressful but with Travis and his team there was so little to worry about because they helped us every step of the way! Not only did Travis sell our home in under a week for 99% of our asking price, he battled against several other agents to get us our dream home! I was in disbelief when he called to deliver the good news! Travis has unparalleled customer service, never over promises or under delivers, and was truly a pleasure to work with. I am so thankful we chose them and would recommend the Travis Boughner team to anyone looking for real estate experts!
