Jean and Iain relocated to West Vancouver

Back to Blog

Before using you as a our Real Estate Agent, I suppose we were perhaps slightly wary of being pushed to sign-up before we were ready. This was not the case at all, of course - in fact - you never even mentioned it!  In what was in some ways a stressful visit - just because of all we had to see and do, you never made us feel under pressure

Having met some Canadian Realtors at house viewings, we were pleased to have your help and advice - you saw things from our point of view.  We were able to make contact before we came out so, you knew our situation and what we were looking for.  Your website and emails explained the whole buying process so we were well prepared.   Having Frank there too meant that we had a team working for us - you both worked so hard on our behalf - it was almost like having our own Kirsty and Phil (do you remember, from Location, Location ..). 

We successfully bought a house - the whole process took more or less 4 days! 

The website was (and is) absolutely invaluable.  There is so much useful advice on there.  Having gone through the whole experience yourselves you know the kind of concerns people have.  The research trip was a great success for us and we achieved such a lot - partly because we were able to do our homework before we came - suss out the market and how much we could afford.  We had almost decided on West Vancouver as an area to live before we came and it worked out well for us that this was your area.  We have also received excellent service from Keith and Matt who you recommended to us. 

Your service offers so much more than Real Estate - you truly are a Relocation service. 

We would thoroughly recommend your service.  Just at the moment, there isn't anyone else we know but, we wouldn't hesitate to pass on your name in the future. 

Maybe one thing ... We enjoyed the meetings in Starbucks and it was a good starting point for us when setting off for viewings in West Vancouver but because it gets so busy there it might sometimes have been less hassle to have gone to somewhere more quiet (with bigger tables) - maybe your home-office or the company office in Marine Drive?  That's not a big complaint - we actually liked the coffee shop - and we met the Normans there and Amanda and Peter who have both kept in touch.
