"After seeing the house at Gilbert Plains on the Website I must admit we were definitely interested but a little apprehensive about the price and how we would be accommodated during our visit to Manitoba. After an overnight stay in Winnipeg we were picked up by Jim (what a nice guy, no suit!). He was our tour guide for the next 3 days and we had a lovely time. Jim picked up the tab for all our accommodation and food to a point were we almost guilty of being mean. Friendly Manitoba really is friendly, the open space is wonderful. It felt good to out of the Rat Race. We fell in love the place and ended up buying the house and the bungalow next door all with 4.5 acres of land for less than cost of a 2 up 2 down in the UK. We are now looking forward to moving over this Summer. I can honestly say that every thing on the website was accurate and all of Northland Properties' commitments and promises have been met. I am quite happy for any apprehensive potential purchasers to give me call."

"It is now 10 years since we bought our lovely 70 acre property from you.…I remember you not only offered us the use of your trailer, but even offered to sell it to us! We have since built our own pretty little cottage.…we also had a tent and music and 120 people there for our daughter’s wedding.…Your attention to detail and sound advice were much appreciated….Barbara and I particularly appreciated your after sales enquiries as to our satisfaction with our property. We would gladly buy from you again any time."
