Home Sale in Mission | Mar 2024
Rod Friesen handled every aspect of the sale of our house in a way that made it transparent and easy. He also knows how to solve challenges and difficulties in a respectful and calm manner, which ultimately streamlines the process for both the buyer and seller. We've already recommended him to a neighbor who is considering downsizing their home. If you're looking for the right realtor for the job, you should definitely consider Rod first. He'll get the job done for you with great results. - Claire Bardach

Home Purchase in Highway 11, Abbotsford | Jun 2015
A very knowledgeable and professional realtor. We used him to buy our first and house as well as several attempts to purchase another home years later. While these attempts have not come to fruition, it is in no way related to Rod. He has looked out for us every step of the way - Derek Suderman

Rod stepped in when I really needed help, as the previous realtor was not working out, and very quickly managed to sell the property.

Home Sale in Cloverdale, Surrey | Sep 2023
Home Sale in Rosedale-East Chilliwack Northside, Chilliwack | Sep 2023
From my first phone call to the final signing appointment with my Notary, I had an excellent experience with my realtor, Rod Friesen and would absolutely recommend his services. This was my first experience with selling a home and Rod walked with me through the entire process. He provided timely, sound advice in terms of determining the appropriate selling price, explained every step of the process and was always available through phone, text or email to respond to my queries. I trusted him completely and he helped me immensely with the emotional process of selling my mother’s home. Whether I was home on Bowen Island, at the house in Rosedale or at my mother’s bedside during her hospital stay, I was easily able to navigate the process and complete steps remotely with Rod’s use of electronic documents and email. I unequivocally recommend Rod as a Realtor. His kind, approachable demeanor, his depth of knowledge in the local area’s real estate market and his experience as a realtor shine brightly. Thank you, Rod. - Loretta O'Brien
Condo in Willoughby Heights, Langley | Jul 2022
Rod bent over backward to help us sell our condo. He got more money than I expected and in a short time frame. He expressed clearly what should be moved or eliminated to stage our unit. We up against a couple of other units in our building at that time. We were the only ones who sold and I believe Rod was a big reason why. - Sue and Richard Hargreaves

Property in Abbotsford, BC
What can we say? We had a unique situation that required some serious stick handling. The buying side was easy but selling our property was going to be very difficult. We interviewed many of the top realtors but decided on Rod because he cared, offered great suggestions and didn't once talk about himself. All the others couldn't wait to tell us how great they were. In the end, we made the right choice. - The Griffiths
Property Sale in Abbotsford, BC
Rod was great! I found this site searching for the listings of another agent and couldn't find Rod on here, so I added him. He is patient and takes the time to explain things in "Normal Terms"
I found Rod Friesen to be very knowledgeable and personable. He was always quick to respond to various challenging situations that arose, always working for my best interests, while we were dealing with an extremely difficult tenant. Rod provided me with top notch real estate services and I will be hiring him again. - D Murray
