Testimonials From Other Realtors
I first met Geraldine in the Spring of 2000 while we were doing our Re/Max orientation in Kelowna. It was then that I became aware of her quest to focus on first-time buyers in the City of Vancouver.
The primary reason that I chose Geraldine to work with my clients' daughter and son-in-law is her dedication to work with younger, first time buyers. Taking the time to meet in a peaceful environment, a comfortable working relationship is developed by Geraldine and her clients. A level of confidence is established when clients ask about the various aspects of the offer, how the offer is presented. Geraldine explains her position and duties as their representative.
Geraldine takes the time to thoroughly cover all the details. I will certainly refer Geraldine to any of my clients family members, friends and associates that reside in the Vancouver area.

Dear Geraldine,
I do want to thank you again for all the assistance that you gave to my brother Dan and Linda on the purchase of their new home. Since they were first time buyers I wanted someone who would be patient with all the questions and concerns that go along with a first purchase. You came highly recommended based primarily on the first time buyer book that you have published. I know that Dan and Linda were very pleased with your services (and also found your book very helpful)not only because they told me, but I have heard from my other siblings that Dan has been highly complimentary of you. I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends and family living in the Vancouver area to you again.
Sincerely,
Colleen Gerrie

Dear Geraldine,
Thanks so much for your help in sorting through all madness of this crazy market.
You have been patient, positive and never pushy. You were, at the same time, dilligent about keeping me up to date on my prospects.
I found your book particularly useful because I really like to do my research before investing in anything. Reading it enabled me to keep the suprises to a minimum. I will definately be forwarding your name to any first home buyer that I meet.
Sincerely,
AL

Geraldine - I've been meaning to send you a couple 'before' and 'after' photos of our place because the transformation was really quite cool. And we really were able to make our home to our taste because we got such a great deal, in the neighbourhood we wanted to live. It's fanatstic! wecan pick up groceries a five minute walk away (loads of organic options) and it only takes 15 minutes by bus and 20 minutes by bike to commute to work! We did find yourbook useful,it provided a comprehensive list of details we knew needed to be covered. As for your service, we found you easy to work with and it was nice because we never felt rushed or pushed - we knew you were interested in seeing us get the right place within our budget.
Nice to hear from you, (will send pics soon!)
