Elaine recently helped our son Matthew buy a condo and become a first time homeowner in the Yaletown area. My husband and I have worked with Elaine a few times in the last 12 years in Vancouver with our own condo purchases and sales. Elaine is absolutely the best Realtor we have ever worked with over our 43 years of buying and selling homes. Elaine is so great to work with and incredibly experienced. Anyway, back to our most recent experience with Elaine. I decided it was time for our son Matt to move out of his rented 400 square foot apartment. Good time to get into the market and Yaletown was the target area as it is close to our condo. We started our search December 2025 with some reluctance from our son. Elaine has such an easy lovely manner with everyone and she put my son at ease and before you knew it he was 100% on board with this process. Yaletown is a very busy area with aging buildings. We looked at many many condos and finally we found the perfect place in May 2026. We made an offer 1 day after it listed. It was a difficult deal as the owner was from out of the country and the condo had been tenanted for 5 years. Was challenging to view. Tenants did make this all more stressful. We wanted this condo and we knew Elaine would get this deal done. We recently took possession of the condo and our son is so happy. Working with Elaine is so easy and pleasant. She is so experienced and capable. She also has amazing team supporting her which made the entire process of my son buying this condo so enjoyable. My husband, Son and I would absolutely recommend Elaine as your Realtor for your next buy or sell.

Reply:    Thank you so much! Your review genuinely moved me. Getting to help Matthew into his first place in Yaletown, after working with you and Chuck over so many years and moves, is the kind of work that makes my job fulfilling. That condo was not an easy one, an overseas owner and the tenant made it tricky to even view, but we all knew it was the right home for Matt and worth the effort. Watching him go from unsure to completely at home is the best part of this job. Thank you for trusting me with your family's moves, it's a privilege I don't take lightly :)
