Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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." -

"Karin did her homework. She knew my market and gave me a realistic assessment of the best selling price for my condo based on its location, square footage, and the updates I had invested into it. We sold, just over the listed price, in a matter of a few short weeks."

 

"Karin Smith's knowledge of the Vancouver real estate market and her experience as an agent is evident from the moment you meet her. It was very obvious to us that Karin also cares for her clients. She was extremely thorough, presenting all of the information and helping us make the decision that was right for us. Karin helped to make a very big event simple and less intimidating. It is obvious she loves what she does. It is for all of these reasons that we do not hesitate recommending her to family and friends."

"When it came time for me to sell my house, I chose you as the sales agent since we had had such a pleasant and trouble-free experience in the recent purchase of the condo. 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." -
J. Teare, Buyer & Seller

"Selling our house was a breeze with Karin. She totally worked around our schedule and needs --- her marketing material was so good we almost decided to stay! Thanks to Karin a usually stressful experience was actually quite pleasant. We would recommend Karin to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home."

 

"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."
