What our Clients have to say...

We have had a number of Realtors work with us during the purchases of our homes in the past..some of these Realtors were even close friends. Of all our experiences in buying a home, working with Marnie was by far the best. Thank you so very much for such a positive experience on the purchase of our son's first home! Your follow up is superb and without a single hesitation, we would definitely recommend your Real Estate services to our family, friends, co-workers and clients!

Steven was a great pleasure to complete the purchase of my new condo with. I have over the past three years dealt with three realtors in Calgary and they do not come close to the professionalism that Steven has shown me. He went above what he needed to do to assist in the completion of the sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone.

Joy Ells, Courtenay

Steven made a very good first impression with us. The recommendations he offered before our house went on the market were very helpful. He was patient and ready to help with any questions or problems we had. It was fun to go house hunting with Steven, he understood what type of house we were looking for and presented us with good choices. We would highly recommend Steven to any of our friends and family. Thanks so much!

I have used Marnie's services 3 times in the last 18 months... 2 purchases and 1 sale. The service and assistance with these transactions was SUPERB!

Gloria Graham, Black Creek

Marnie you are the best! I cannot thank you enough for such wonderful service.

Jim Allen, Comox

This was my first home purchase, and therefore I was a very nervous buyer. Steven was always there to answer all of my questions and worries. His ability to listen to my wish list can be qualified by the result -- I bought the second house he showed me!

Gary Brammer, Cumberland

Steven was very patient with us as we looked at so many houses over several months... however, our new waterfront home was definitely worth the wait and Steven's negotiating skills were fantastic. We are very very happy with our new home.

Marnie and Steven have always been prompt, curteous and professional. After purhasing my principal residence through Marnie, I have contacted her again to help me find an investment property. I would highly recommend this team to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell.

Our rural acreage needed a realtor that understood its many features like forest, fields, orchard, ponds, septic fields and wells. Steven was a gracious host willing to put on the gumboots and walk the walk. We would recommend listing with him any time.

We tried selling our home ourselves but due to the property’s rural location and special features, we realized that we needed a professional advertising scheme. Along with his solid marketing plan, Steven really showed us why a realtor was the best choice. You will definitely get your money’s worth.

I had the pleasure of having Steven list my home. I had been trying to sell it on my own as I had bad experiences with other realtors in the past. Steven came by and asked if he could take a look. He did not pressure me into listing my home. He gave me advice only when I asked for it and was very patient with all of my questions I had about trying to sell. He took me through homes and always had time for me and my family while I was trying to sell it on my own.

Selling and buying a home was a very stressful time for me. Steven has a natural way of making you feel comfortable and has a very relaxed attitude. He always made the time for us and no question was a stupid one. Although I am sure some of ours were!!! Because of all this I decided to have him take over my listing for me. It was the best choice I have ever made and it changed my life in so many positive ways. I don’t think I could ever find the words to express my gratitude. Not only did my house sell, I got more than what I had listed my home for on my own.

I haven’t had the pleasure of dealing with his wife, Marnie but I have met her once and she struck me as being very much the same way. I am sure having the two of them working for you would only be double the greatness!!!

I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family, and when I am buying and selling in the future they are the realtors I will choose with absolutley no hesitation.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. I would be happy to tell you about my experience with having him for my realtor.

Roger and I decided we’d like to retire in the Comox Valley to be closer to our family. Even through we weren’t going to retire for a couple of years, we knew that it would be best to purchase now, as the market in the Valley is continually on the rise. When we asked friends to point the way to an agent for us, Marnie was their first recommendation.
With one trip out the the Valley, Marnie showed us around and helped us to determine exactly what we were looking for. Even though we did not find our home on the first trip, Marnie kept us well informed with her Private Client Search listing system. Because of her excellent communication skills and use of the latest technology, we were able to view all the new listings immediately as they came on the market! We were able to buy our home without a second trip out, and this saved us a lot of money. We are pleased to say that our buying experience was excellent and we thank Marnie for her wonderful assistance.

I would recommend Steven Martin to anyone needing a realtor. Fortunately for us, Steven happened to be on office duty the day we walked into his office. Throughout the process of purchasing our home, Steven seemed to enjoy helping us any way he could.

Steven’s patients and cheerful humour never wavered as we travelled through one house after another. I also appreciated that Steven never tried to pressure us, or convince us to buy a specific house, he just showed them pointing out important positive and negative features, and answered the questions he could.

In the end, we both enjoyed the time we spent with Steven and purchased the best home our family could afford. If we need a realtor again, we wouldn’t even consider anyone else.
