Testimonials   Here's a sample of what my clients are saying:   Valerie was a great person to have for advice in preparing my home for sale and certainly her years of experience came into action, especially in the current market. There were five other places for sale in my complex. But Valerie was not deterred. She gave sound guidance pertaining to down-sizing, had a stager come in to give direction on updating/painting and hired a professional photographer to capture the final results. She marketed my property well and the feed-back from buyers who viewed my home was encouraging. All the preparation led to a very timely sale (before the others sold). I would recommend Valerie to others who will be grateful, as I have been for her calm attitude, ability to read the market and her years of experience   C.H. "Purchasing a home was a stressful event for us; however, your professionalism and patience with our many questions de-mystified the process and eased our tension.  We felt you were more of an advocate than an agent.  Your familiarity and experience with the market gave us confidence to make a decision when we found the right home for our family.  We would be happy to recommend you to anyone looking for a Real Estate. agent." David & Diana Travia "Thank you so much, Valerie, for your work in selling our property.  We admire your honesty and integrity plus your admirable marketing know-how.  Thanks again for making the whole process easy and painless."   Bill and Jill Molnar  ____________________________________________________________   "As first time homebuyers, we were thirsty for knowledge, especially in today's market. Valerie was really patient and willing to go the extra mile and help us when we needed it. She helped us through each stage, especially when we were just fighting to get into homes that were being snapped up as soon as they hit the market. Valerie's gentle attitude and perseverance helped us find our new home, despite our ever-changing needs! Thanks again, Valerie!" Rich and Jen Pearson     "My husband, Calvin, and I were delighted to be referred to Valerie Edwards when we were relocating from Kelowna to Victoria, B.C.  Valerie never failed in being there for us, with many rides, (in fact, about thirty), when we were looking for a condo. She was meticulous in all her professional dealings, both with us and other agents and vendors.  We hope we do not have to relocate in the near future, but we would definitely ask Valerie to assist us once again if that happens.   It was a pleasure to deal with such a reputable and honourable agent - one who has also become a friend." Shirley Bardal    Valerie, we just wanted to thank you for the wonderful, professional work you provided for us in selling our property.  Because of your pleasant personality as well as your attention to detail, we felt we were in very good hands.  Even though you were quite busy with other clients at the time, we always felt well taken care of. We definitely recommend you to all of our family and friends.    Wendell and Johanne Amy   "Without Valerie's patience, guidance and knowledge, I'm sure I wouldn't have bought again at this time of my life. Fortunately for me, I met Valerie Edwards. For months she regularly sent me print-outs of current condo listings in my price range and she never pressured me into buying something that wasn't suitable. It was a pleasure working with her, knowing she had my interests at heart. I certainly recommend her!"  Sandy Cleaver     "When we put our house on the market, not much was selling. But Valerie was able to generate a lot of interest in our house, including several offers. Regarding our purchase, we had very specific requirements as to the type of home we needed. Valerie was able to show us a good selection of houses that fit our needs and as a result, we ended up with just what we wanted. Valerie made both transactions go very smoothly."  John and Betty Butcher
