So happy to find Esther and her team. They for more than three months offered help searching for building lot in Port Alberni. This search finished with great success for me and I am ready for to build my house in near future. Esther, is sincere and provided me with information that I would need at least 6 month to obtain on my own. Taking pictures contacting city about land development opportunities and advising me was absolutely priceless. - Strahinja Saric

Esther was wonderful throughout the process. Often giving much needed advice that shows her years of experience. She has a lot to offer with her knowledge of the area and often giving nice examples of places I may be interested in. I don't live in Port Alberni yet so it added another layer and Esther was amazing and patient with the distance. - Todd Williams

Esther was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. We had to come in from Burnaby and she was very accommodating and had everything ready to go, so we were able to see a lot of houses with the short time we had. She listened to our wants and needs and made recommendations and didn’t waste any time with things she knew would not be a fit. Our experience overall was great and would recommend her. - Sean Fiedler

I met Esther 5 years ago when I purchased my current home. That was a very positive experience for me, so when it came time to sell my home and purchase another one in a different city, Esther was the realtor I turned to. We sold our home within a couple of days, but it took almost two months to finally find our new home. Esther supported us on that journey every step of the way, often writing offers in the evening or on weekends. She encouraged me, consoled me, gave me guidance when asked or needed and went above and beyond my expectations at all times. I highly recommend Esther and her team for your property sale and/or purchase. - Toni Clackson

Esther was a dream to work with! She is so knowledgeable, professional and approachable. She is a fantastic listener and I honestly feel that she is the Fairy Godmother of Realtors as she has a knack for knowing what you want and need before you even do! Esther and her positive attitude made our real estate dreams come true and buying our first home an enjoyable adventure. We will always be grateful to Esther and recommend her heartily! - Vaysha Hirsch

Esther went above and beyond to get me the house I wanted. She's very knowledgeable about the area and is terrific at her job. I would not have been able to purchase the house I did without the help of Esther, and she also helped me after the possession was completed. Would definitely recommend Esther to anyone! - Julian Cantarutti

I don't even know where to start. My husband and I started looking for homes in the beginning of February 2022. We live out of town and both know exactly what we want and within our first 5 or so showings, Esther knew exactly what we were looking for and what our (my) taste was. I can't count how many houses we made Esther show us but over the last 10 months it was a lot. Some house she showed us twice. We would often have a last minute reason to have to travel to Port and liking to kill 2 birds with one stone I would message Esther with a list of houses we would love to walk through. There was never a "no" from her.It didn't matter what day of the week it was, She would have showings for us at the very last minute. The house we ended up purchasing was one of the ones we saw twice. It is the most beautiful house and 17 more sleeps until we get to move in. It didn't have the acerage we were looking for so we compromised on that a little. We plan on living in this house for the next 5ish years and will continue to search for our retirement home and our only hope is that Esther is still working and we can go through this experience with her again. I will highly recommend her to anyone I know. Thank you Esther - Trudy Lee

I highly enjoyed working with Esther to purchase our first home. She was incredibly responsive and helped us purchase a home in Port Alberni while we lived in Victoria. She was willing to show us properties when it was convenient for us to travel, and she really listened to our needs. She went above and beyond to help us secure internet on the property while we still lived out of town. Esther made us feel comfortable with the entire process of purchasing. I would absolutely use Esther's services again in the future. - Thayre Fellows

All I can say is wow! Esther was with us all the way. She worked with us to find the right place. As first time homeowners, the process seemed confusing and it was stressful at points.

We reached out to The Fenton Group and started our journey with Nicole. After looking at several properties online, Nicole put us in touch with Esther for viewings. We visited PA twice and viewed a dozen or more places. Esther was prompt, honest, kind and provided us with invaluable step by step insight in our first home purchase. We would not hesitate to recommend her services or work with her and the entire team again in the future. Thank-you so much. - DARREN WILLIAMS

Professional, prompt, prepared, followed up, great advice, open to flexibility with viewings added same day. She followed up after we made our offer, to ensure we did not have buyers remorse.

Esther is great to work with! I am planning a move from the lower mainland to the island, and it was stressful to try and organize viewing homes while living in a different city. I planned a 4-day trip and Esther made herself available to me, answering the many questions I had, and providing a helpful, detailed information package. She helped me learn about the different neighbourhoods since I wasn’t familiar with the area. Esther has a lot of experience and it shows; she gave me tips for making a successful offer but never pressured me to go in one direction over another. I felt supported in any direction I chose to go. In the end I got very lucky and purchased my home on that first trip out! Very happy with how it went! - Vanessa Marshall

Esther has been absolutely phenomenal!! The most responsive agent I have ever encountered, hands down. She has been helping out all along throughout the process, at all hours of the day; in touch and on top of things at all times. Besides her knowledge and professionalism, she is just so lovely and such a pleasure to work with! She feels like family, and you can see that she looks after you and your interest at every step of the process. Have been so impressed, and will most certainly recommend her to everyone I know!

Esther was a tremendous help. Being a first-time home buyer it was stressful not knowing all the steps to go through and which houses would suit me.

The whole experience was professional! From our first contact with Tomm and appointment with Esther, we were treat with enormous care. Esther steered us to the perfect home in the right neighborhood. But it didn't stop there...she helped us negotiate a price we were comfortable with and arranged for a new oil tank to be installed prior to closing. Esther is highly regarded in the community and found us the right people to help us with financing, insurance and repairs.We couldn't have done it without her!

She was great right from the beginning got down to the exact needs and wants I had and set me up a great list of places to see in the short time span I had to look. We didn't find something that morning and she found me one more to look at that evening and now that's going to be my new home! I would recommend her to anyone moving within the town or relocating to port Alberni. She's friendly and very efficient at her job ! - MARIA FABBI

Esther was/is amazing in helping us find a home. She wrote up about 8 offers before we finally got a home! Worked into the evening and on the weekends to make sure everything worked out for us. Our phone conversations are always lovely, personable, and informative. We are so happy to have found Esther and will/would work will her again! - Samantha
