Praise-Find Out What My Clients Have to Say

"Karin, we want to thank you for your all your hard work and great service. When we put our home on the market, you helped us to sell it quickly but still get the price we were looking for. Then, when we found our new home, you were instrumental in negotiating the best deal possible. Your knowledge, professionalism and attention to the needs of our family made a stressful process much easier to manage. We appreciate all you have done and look forward to doing more business with you in the future." Don & Janice, Sellers & Buyers

“Karin definitely gets two thumbs up! She was extremely knowledgeable about house prices and recent sales in our area and was able to get a price, well over asking, for our home. We felt totally confident with her strategy for marketing and selling our property and her ‘package’ of services was excellent and thorough. She thought of absolutely everything and was very organized and always on time. Selling a home is a very stressful event and we will always be grateful for her calm manner and her genuine care and concern for us during an extremely emotional time. Karin was truly a delight to work with. We give her our deepest thanks and our highest recommendation!”

Tim Braund & M. Clemons-Braund, Sellers

3.****you have an intrinsic awareness and understanding of exactly what your client wants and needs

Richard & Loretta Evans, Buyers

"We found Karin Smith's website better organized and more informative than other sites. After contacting her by e-mail we quickly decided that she was the real estate agent for us. Karin is clearly an expert on the Vancouver West Side market. She replied promptly and fully to our many e-mail questions and was obviously interested in providing us with the best service. When we flew in for our first visit she prepared a list of duplexes for us to inspect and conducted us on an unhurried tour. We closed a deal on just the second day and at a discount from the asking price. In addition to helping us with numerous details, such as facilitating communications with the law firm and recommending building inspectors, Karin gave us advice on schools and day care facilities. All in all, we could not have asked for more!"

Robin Lindsey, Buyer

"Once we decided to sell our investment condo in False creek, we contacted Karin who was approachable, knowledgeable and organized.
Remember the 80-20 rule. 80% of sales come from 20% of agents. Karin is definitely in the 20%."
Rick & Allison Downie, Sellers

"Karin Smith guided us through one of the most stressful events a couple can experience - buying a home in a changing market - and she made it simple, stress free and fun. Karin is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in Vancouver. We found her to be extremely well prepared in her presentation to us and very thoughtful, honest and candid in her opinion on the various properties we looked at. Not only was Karin reassuring in her approach to all facets of the search, viewing and negotiations, she remained entirely focused on us as the clients in determining and assessing what it was we really were looking for and helping us find it. We would not hesitate to recommend Karin to family and friends in need of a real estate agent. You could not ask for a more competent, professional and delightful agent."

KK & PC, Buyers

Re-locating is a very time consuming ordeal and having a realtor like you made our move home easier and very pleasant! Thank you for everything Karin."
Nick & Christina Braybrooke, Buyers

"We found Karin to be extremely resourceful both in selling our home and buying a new one.
We sold in a good timeframe with multiple bids. When we were buying she kept us informed of anything new and made sure we got the best deal for the home we finally bought.
Whether buying or selling we always felt she had our interests covered. We will be recommending her to all of our friends."
Donna & Dan Wilson, Buyers & Sellers

It was a complete pleasure to work with Karin. The experience of selling my home with her was an absolute delight!"

"This is just a short note to let you know how grateful we are for your super service helping us sell our Condo in Vancouver.
As an absentee owner attending to the many necessary steps involved in thesale of property are next to impossible without professional guidance and hands on assistance.
Not only did you sell our property in record time in a market that is slowing down, but as important you handled all of the many procedures required to make the sale a reality.
I found you originally on the web and took a chance that we were making the right decision using your services andyou more then proved that our choice was the right one."

"Karin Smith has assisted us in a number of real estate transactions, both as a buyers and sellers agent. In each case, we have been delighted both with the service and results she has delivered. Beyond providing a high level of service and responsiveness (the primary marketing feature of realtors we have used in the past), Karin truly adds value to the relationship through effective negotiating, research and strategy. As a result, we have elected to utilize her services exclusively going forward. We would highly recommend Karin's services to anybody seeking representation in the Vancouver market. She provides a level of insight, recommendation and professionalism that is substantially above her peers." -

Your initial presentation to me displayed a very thoughtful marketing plan and detailed project schedule which showed what I could expect as the process progressed. As well, you were proactive in asking about any questions or concerns I might have, and very confident and honest about answering those questions thus setting my mind at ease. I was extremely happy with the whole experience and would recommend your sales and marketing services very highly and without reservation to anyone who wants to sell their home." -

Thanks to Karin a usually stressful experience was actually quite pleasant. We would recommend Karin to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home."

The Sopers, Sellers

"Thanks for finding me my townhouse. I know that I had a long list of what I wanted but you not only found me the right property, but were also able to negotiate a price that was below the bank's appraised value. The people you put me in touch with helped for a quick sale and purchase. It makes a difference that you are so organized and on top of all aspects of the business. You relieved a lot of the stress that came with the sale of my condo. I wouldn't hesitate to refer my friends and family to you. It's been a pleasure working together."
