We were very impressed with Kerri-lyn. She saw value in our home we had looked past, helped us price it accordingly, and coached us through the negotiating process. When other comparable listings came up in our area that were more competitively priced, Kerri-lyn assured us we were priced right, and encouraged us to stay the course. Shortly thereafter, we had a serious offer. Selling our home was an absolute breeze, and Kerry-lyn?s support staff was always one step ahead of us with all the ...

Monday, February 16, 2015 - Feedback from another Terrific Client!

I am so pleased to have worked with Kerri-lyn Holland for my condo sale. I was relocating to Vancouver and knew that most of the sale would occur remotely. It was important for me to have a realtor I trusted and someone who was able to get my condo up for sale quickly once I made the decision to put it up for sale. I was really impressed with the entire experience, starting with how prepared and organized she was when we first met to discuss my sale, her professional selling package and her ... Full Article...

From the time we reached out to Kerri-lyn for an assessment, to the closing of a deal, she and Catherine were very efficient and professional in communicating anything that had to be relayed to my wife and I. They work via text, phone or email; whichever works best for the client with the least disruption to their day. She had many many showings for our condo and had it not been for a last second back-out, we would have had a deal within 72 hours of listing our property. We took a chance on ... Full Article...

Kerri-lyn and Jason's hard work finding the perfect condo for us took the stress away from searching for our first home. Along with Catherine, they are a thoroughly detailed team who know when a place is worth looking at and when to not even bother. Never once did anyone take us to look at a place that was outside of the location, style or budget we were looking for. The one time we went searching online on our own and brought them our results, Kerri-lyn told us they had seen all of those ...
