Condo in Abbotsford | Aug 2026
Effie is the BEST! We sold our huge family home through her, downsized to a terrific condo, with her helping us with both transactions. There is no way we could have done this without Effie's professionalism, experience, integrity and kindness. Challenges were met with options and solutions. Communication was always consistent, and clear. It was wonderful doing business with and celebrating with Effie! HIGHLY recommend her! - Linda Berti
Home Sale in Upper ten Oaks, Abbotsford | Apr 2026
After a long and incredibly challenging estate process, working with Effie was truly a blessing. As someone who works in real estate and property management, I do not give praise lightly, and Effie exceeded every expectation. We were in a very urgent situation, and Effie treated that urgency as though it were her own. After months of little progress with a previous agent, she stepped in and accomplished in less than three weeks what had not been achieved in months. She not only secured a strong sale, but handled every step of the process with professionalism, urgency, compassion, and exceptional attention to detail. Effie truly went above and beyond. She helped stage the property, paid attention to the smallest details, attended every showing, held multiple open houses, and consistently went the extra mile to ensure the property was presented at its absolute best. I trusted Effie completely from day one, and she never let me down. In this business, that says everything. I would recommend Effie without hesitation to anyone looking for an agent who genuinely cares, works tirelessly, and delivers outstanding results. - Michelle Taylor

She's an awesome person to work with as she was able to take care of a last minute issue that popped up due to the negligence/lack of experience of the sellers realtor. This issue could have caused the seller to breach the contract, but Effie was able to save the day. - Michael Anthony Patterson
Home Purchase in West Clearbrook, Abbotsford | Oct 2025
Found Effie on Facebook Marketplace advertising a mobile home in Abbotsford. First phone call to her was very informative - we gave her all the listings we wanted to view and she set them all up on the same day. This was very convenient for us. We truly enjoyed meeting her and viewing all the properties with her. That first day we realized that she was not only very good / knowledgeable but incredibly personable to deal with. From there it was a breath of fresh air dealing with her through all the issues we had to deal with to close our purchase. When ever we were not sure when a situation came up, we asked her opinion and her recommendation was always correct. We have purchased a few properties years past and had a couple shady agents. Effie hands down, is the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. She is a true professional! Reading her other clients reviews - number 1, we agree with them all and number 2, it is clear that she has a real gift to connect and gain the trust of all her clients. We will gladly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a honest and caring real estate person. - Robert and Michelle Schriml

Effie has my complete respect for all the work she does. She is very professional, prompt, reliable, honest & knowledgeable. If she is unsure, she will investigate. We had full confidence with her when buying one property & selling two. She pays great attention to detail on property, documentation, timelines & rules of the realty world. Organizes meetings with lawyers & knows the timelines for completion. Effie is our go to person for the job, she works for you. - Janet May Matthews

Effie was great and worked around our schedules. She was able to do video walk arounds for me when I was working remotely and not able to attend a showing. She went way above and way beyond. Best and easiest experience I have ever had buying a house. - Paige Wood

Home Sale in Townline Hill, Abbotsford | Apr 2024
After 33 years since my last real estate transaction I was truly in need of guidance and clarity. My family and I are so very fortunate that we chose Effie to show us the way. Highly knowledgeable, confident and the ability to prepare a plan taylored to our needs clearly describes Effie's work for us! I cannot thank her enough for guiding me past pitfalls, keeping me focussed and providing the whole family with a sense of optimism and encouragement. And in the end Effie quietly yet firmly brought us to the best outcome possible. Further, she has become a friend and someone we know we can always rely on for advice in the world of real estate. Thanks Effie for always being the person who goes "above and beyond" ! - JEREMY (Jerry) DAVENPORT

Townhome Purchase in Maple Ridge | Mar 2024
Effie has been a true blessing throughout our entire home buying process. From the initial stages to the final closing, Effie demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and professionalism. Their attention to detail and deep knowledge of the market made the process not only manageable but really enjoyable. Effie's experience was not limited to simply finding us a property; she went above and beyond to provide invaluable recommendations for legal representation, inspection services, and other essential aspects of the home buying process. Their extensive network of contacts and willingness to help in every aspect really sets her apart. What really impressed us was Effie's unwavering availability and responsiveness. No matter the time or day, they were there to address our concerns, answer our questions, and provide guidance when needed. This level of dedication reflects Effie's true passion for her work and her commitment to her clients' satisfaction. Effie's main goal was clearly to help us find not just a house, but a place we could truly call home. Their personalized approach, attention to detail, and genuine care for our needs were evident every step of the way. Effie's professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support truly made the difference in our home buying experience. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Effie enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent. Their commitment to excellence and genuine care for their clients makes them a true asset in the real estate industry. Thank you, Effie, for helping us find our perfect home. - Jessica Arroyo

I have worked with Effie many times over the past 8 years. She is pleasure to deal with: professional, thorough, and punctual. She always gave me excellent and honest advice and went above and beyond to meet my needs. I doubt that any other agent would have been as patient as she was with me. Dealing with Effie feels like dealing with a good friend. - Munirah

Effie was awesome if we ever need a realtor again or if anyone is looking for a realtor we would definitely recommend her. Very knowledgeable, professional and hard working agent who goes far above and beyond your expectations, Effie is punctual, dependable and available for all any any concerns regarding your sale or purchase of a new home. We did both selling and purchasing with Effie and they were both smooth and stress free transactions, because she was sure to cross all the T's and dot all the I's for us.

Condo Sale in Whalley, Surrey | Jan 2023
Before we retired, we dreamed of selling an apartment and buying something in a small quiet town, we met several realtors, and some of them were unprofessional, impatient and money-oriented, not mindful of their rights as a seller/buyer. Meeting Effie Sachami was like finally being able to breathe after being suffocated for so long. Effie was very patient in answering our seemingly endless questions. She asked questions on our behalf that we hadn't thought of to make sure there were no hidden problems in the home we inspected. Effie was diligent in making sure all inspections were completed, communicating with the seller's agent, and keeping us informed promptly. We received a lot of good advice on preparing the apartment before showing; our apartment was presented with wonderful photographs and a good description. The apartment sold in two weeks and we're not sure we could find a better agent than Effie Sashami. If our friends need a good realtor or we ever need to sell our current home, we know exactly who to call when the time comes. - Galina Khorina

Townhome Purchase in Clayburn Village, Abbotsford | Feb 2023
Effie was an absolute pleasure to work with in buying our townhome. Returning to BC from Ontario after 17 years away, we relied on Effie’s exceptional knowledge of the local housing market to help our family navigate the ever changing housing market. Effie’s responsiveness and diligence in communication was everything we could have hoped for during the process. Effie provided advice and direction in a tactful, thoughtful and patient manner without asserting her own views, creating a space for our family to make our buying decision while also ensuring that we had the critical knowledge and information to help us make an informed and practical home selection. A kind and thoughtful person, Effie truly cares for the wellbeing of her clients. - Michael Windle

Effie is knowledgeable, professional and committed to her clients. She went over and above to assist with our listing as we did not live in the Region and couldn’t always be present to attend to the property.

Effie helped my parents sell and buy their dream home! In the middle of a booming and competitive market, she made sure my parents sold their house at an extraordinary price point thanks to her staging techniques. She went above and beyond to keep my stressing parents happy (not an easy task) lol Even after the last transactions, Effie will be there to help no matter what! She got us a carpet cleaning service and a technician to show us the audio system! If you want top notch service, she’s the one!! - Sofia

Effie was amazing! She knew so much about all the buildings we were looking at and was able to give me great advice on what to look for and what to worry about. I found the place I wanted pretty quick after starting to work with her. After we made the deal she helped me every step through the subjects and all the way to closing. Even after closing she was still there to help me making sure everything was perfect. I'm so happy in my new home and as a first time home buyer, what I thought was an almost impossible feat became a reality with such ease. I recommend anyone looking to buy to give Effie Sachami a call. Thank you so much, Effie! I'll definitely call you back when I'm ready to sell and start the journey all over again. - Sean Beauchesne
