Home Sale in Thunder Bay | Jun 2026
Both buying or selling a property can be exciting, a dream come true, a forever home or a just starting out property. It can also be nerve-wracking, stressful and at times heart breaking. We were so fortunate to have Vanny and Carrie in our corner. They walked us through every step of the process from start to finish. Their expert advice and vast knowledge not only made the selling of our house easy but also a pleasant experience. Every step of the way Vanny and Carrie were their, in person and on call for every sometimes silly question. They always took the time We needed to ensure that our questions were answered. Their joyful spirit melted the stress away and made the experience joyful and comic at times. We never would have been able to navigate though all this without them 5 stars times 1000. - Denis Perron

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our home than the one we had with Vanny & Carrie Costa. From our very first meeting, they impressed us with their professionalism, market knowledge, and honest advice. They took the time to explain every step of the selling process and developed a marketing strategy that showcased our home beautifully. Their communication was outstanding. We were always kept informed, and any questions or concerns we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely cared about helping us achieve the best possible outcome. Vanny and Carrie went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and dedication gave us complete confidence that our home was in the best hands. Thanks to their hard work, our home sold quickly and for a result we were thrilled with. What stood out most was how easy they made everything feel. Selling a home can be stressful, but they handled every challenge with professionalism and positivity, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for their guidance and support and would highly recommend Vanny & Carrie Costa! - Brian Figa
Home Sale in Thunder Bay | Jun 2026
We have always sold privately but decided to hire the co-stars this time. We are sure glad we did! They made the process very smooth, and took care of all the details. They were easily accessible to answer all of our questions and provide us with regular updates. Vanny and Carrie worked hard to market our home to potential buyers in order to get us the best possible sale price. There is no doubt in our minds we would have never achieved this on our own. The co-stars were extremely knowledgeable regarding today’s market trends. They genuinely put our best interests at the forefront. We will be calling them again should the need arise! - Pia and Wayne Sharpe

If I could give 10 stars to Vanny and Carrie, I would. They were instrumental in helping us be the successful buyers of our dream property - from start to finish, they were RIGHT THERE.

Their knowledge, experience, and lighthearted demeanour made this the best transaction!! - Myra Dromisky-Perron

Home Purchase in Thunder Bay | Mar 2026
This was our second time working with these incredible realtors, and once again, they went above and beyond—especially as we were navigating the process with our growing family in mind. They truly understood how important it was for us to find the right home for this new chapter. From the very beginning, they listened carefully to what we needed—more space, a family-friendly layout, and a place we could really grow into. Their patience, flexibility, and thoughtful guidance made the entire experience feel manageable and even exciting. What meant the most was how supportive and attentive they were throughout. They were always available to answer questions, quick to act when opportunities came up, and genuinely cared about finding us the perfect fit—not just any home. Having now worked with them twice, we can confidently say their dedication, professionalism, and consistency are unmatched. We are so grateful to have had them by our side again and wouldn’t trust anyone else—especially during such an important time in our lives. We highly recommend them to anyone, whether it’s your first home or your forever home. They truly make the experience special. - Rose Beitz
Home Sale in Thunder Bay | Apr 2026
This was the second time I used Vanny & Carrie for selling (and buying last time). They are fabulous! They are very responsive and will usually get back to you immediately. They are very knowledgeable on the market and gave me many tips for the sale. They navigated a tricky situation with my ex spouse and were endlessly helpful in this regard, going out of their way to ensure smooth & amicable communication. They are now the realtors for my entire family! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and will be sure to do so when I’m ready to buy. - Carling Vescio

A huge thank you to Carrie Costa and Vanny Costa for such an amazing experience! They handled everything so beautifully and made the entire process completely stress-free for us. Their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care truly showed at every step. We had already moved out, but Carrie Costa and Vanny Costa took care of everything on our behalf — we simply handed over the keys and they managed the rest seamlessly. That level of trust and support meant so much to us. We’re beyond happy and truly grateful. Highly recommend Carrie Costa and Vanny Costa to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and exceptional realtors! - Vimalkumar

Home Purchase in Thunder Bay | Jun 2025
Vanny and Carrie deserve gold medals (or at least a strong coffee and a vacation). They kept us in the loop, answered every single one of our very specific questions, and somehow survived showing us an endless parade of houses without running for the hills. Their patience, honesty, and hustle helped us find the one—and no, not just each other, the house. We’re forever grateful (and mildly shocked they still answer our texts)! - Adrianna + Amanda

Home Purchase in Thunder Bay | Jul 2024
The process of buying a first home can be stressful, especially when migrating from the other side of Canada. Vanny made the process much easier, enabling me to purchase a good house within my price range. Vanny is an excellent real estate agent. She is professional and has in-depth knowledge of the current real estate market. I didn't even have to ask any questions because she already provided the answers I needed. Every time I visit my new home, I feel lucky to have met Vanny. She also referred me to a good mortgage professional and a lawyer. They all make such a great team and communicate with each other to minimize communication fatigue and potential errors. Thanks Vanny! - Han Choi
Home Purchase in Thunder Bay | Aug 2024
We were in a position where we required a quick out of town relocation. Vanny and Carrie took us on with 4 days notice of us coming to town to house hunt and they made it work. They are a pleasure to work with and if you really take the time to select what you want through their app, they can make more selections and tailor your house hunting experience. They know the market and they know what a good offer is and advise you to be comfortable with your bid, just listen to what they say when they give advice, cause they aren’t wrong. I hope not to need them again as house moving is a lot of work, but if we do they’ll be the first people we will call! Can’t recommend them enough. As our first foray into real estate in Thunder Bay was such a mess, we were both cautious of who we would work with the 2nd time around, and it was nice to deal with this competent caring duo! Thank you both again! - Eric Widdis

Vanny and Carrie are the literal dream team! They made buying and selling at the same time as easy and stress free as possible. They know their stuff, are friendly, and incredibly personable. Vanny and Carrie made this process smooth - including managing a same date selling & buying closing date! 10/10 recommend - not only for their knowledge and skill, but also their fun loving personalities! - Sarah LalDin
Home in Thunder Bay | Jun 2024
Vannie and Carrie made both the process of buying my first home and selling my first home an absolute breeze. From start to finish it literally felt as though I was just texting a best friend and they had me covered…never felt like I was adulting…they were adulting for me…and that is gold. - Tara Rowe
Condo Sale in Thunder Bay | Apr 2024
Vanny helped me find my dream home in 2019, so when it came time to choose someone to sell my mom's condo there was no one else I would even consider! Once again 5 Stars! 6 if I could! - A. Wood
Condo Sale in Thunder Bay | May 2024
Outstanding experience! Every text or call was responded to so quickly, which is very impressive considering we were slightly high-maintenance clients:) They were on time, gave us constant updates on showings, and radiated positivity, making the entire process frictionless. Their ability to swiftly and effectively solve any issues was much appreciated because we were in a different city. We got the price we wanted and couldn't recommend them more. We would give them six stars if we could. - Brett Belcher

Vanny and Carrie sold my home when I left Thunder Bay for a new job. It is easy to get a great rating when everything goes according to plan, but I’m giving them great rating because of how they handled some challenges with the sale that they could not have anticipated. I’m so grateful that I was in such great hands. Their knowledge of the market is excellent. They were always immediately reachable and responsive. The guidance I received at all stages was top-notch. With their expertise they achieved the best possible result for me and I highly recommend them. - Tamara Fairchild

Carrie and Vanny were the absolute dream team to work with. Not only were they fantastic professionally, they are also wonderful people whom we have become very fond of. They were helpful, efficient, and encouraging- we purchased our first home and they were there to support us and answer a lot of our inexperienced questions! Could not recommend them enough, and they are the only realtors we would ever choose again. - Sarah and Michael
Home Purchase in Thunder Bay | Jul 2023
Carrie and Vannie have assisted me with buying 3 properties over the last 2 years. In 2021 my youngest daughter bought her first home, sight unseen other than photos and real time video with Carrie and Vanny to “look” at the house. In 2022, when my husband and my work moved us to Thunder Bay, Carrie and Vannie again assisted in finding the best place, this time , some property out in Pass Lake which we built our home. This past July 2023 we again contacted Carrie and Vanny to assist in purchasing a home, this time for my older daughter. This was the first time we were physically on location when we “house hinted” and looked at homes. It was great working with both of them, and I really appreciate their local knowledge as well as their deep and varied knowledge of the homes in the Thunder Bay area. Thank you for steering us in the right direction and being very open and honest with your reviews of the properties. I would definitely recommend them to anyone buying or selling and in fact my older daughter has already done so as well. Thank you!! - Bonnie, Bill, Sam, and Anna Meek

Carrie and Vanny were recommitted to me when I was on a tight timeline to find a home and other realtors weren’t meeting my needs. These two gems stepped up and in less than 2 weeks my offer was accepted and the deal closed! They walked me through the process every step of the way and were so patient as I jumped through the hoops of the mortgage loaners. I could not be happier with my experience! - Alana
Home in East End, Thunder Bay | Sep 2022
I was very hesitant to sell my home with a traditional realtor, but decided to give these two gals a try at the high recommendation of an esteemed colleague. Carrie and Vanny did not disappoint!! They were knowledgeable, professional and charismatic from start to finish!! I was put at ease immediately and left with the feeling of having gained two friends in the process!! With Vanny and Carrie, you’ll always be in good hands AND there’s four of them (hands), so they’ll never let you down! If you are thinking of buying and/or selling, run, don’t walk, to Carrie and Vanny’s office!! - Lara St. C

Home in Thunder Bay | Dec 2022
We contacted Vanny and Carrie when we first decided to consider a move to downsize. They guided us through the entire process, giving tips every step of the way. Once we were ready to go - they listed the house and it was sold within a week! We found a beautiful home to buy and the they ensured everything was done correctly and on time. From submitting the offer to dealing with conditions, we were updated every step of the way and advised what the next step would be. We had a million questions and would send a text and within minutes would have our reply. We found Vanny and Carrie to be honest when we asked for opinions, knowledgeable with what the market was doing and what a fair selling price would be, prompt and efficient when the something needed to be done, and very personable. They made this entire process very comfortable for us who don’t have experience in any of this. I would recommend Vanny and Carrie to anyone selling or buying - these ladies are amazing! - Shelley and Rick

Carrie & Vanny are absolutely the best! Warm and friendly personalities with great results. Their listing description of my elderly mother's house was so incredible it attracted all buyers attentions. The property was sold within the week. After Mom accepted an offer, Carrie & Vanny went above and beyond to finalize the paper work. Carrie & Vanny helped Mom feel very proud of her home during a difficult time. I highly recommend using Carrie & Vanny as your agents. - Michael Prpic

Home Sale in Thunder Bay | Aug 2022
Vanny and Carrie made a daunting task seem effortless. We did not live in Thunder Bay but were selling a home there on behalf of elderly family members who had moved into long term care. Vanny and Carrie were very knowledgeable, friendly and always accessible. They responded to every concern we had and we especially appreciate the kindness and consideration they expressed toward our elderly brother in law. Leaving your home of many years is a little heart wrenching but is made a little easier when the sale makes you feel like others also appreciated the home you've had to leave. - Cathy and Marcel

We cannot recommend Vanny & Carrie Costa enough! As first-time homebuyers, we were admittedly a bit nervous about the process, but Vanny & Carrie made the entire experience seamless and actually enjoyable. From the very beginning, their great attitude and infectious energy kept us motivated, even when the market felt overwhelming. What truly stood out to us, however, was their kind demeanor and unwavering honesty. We never felt pressured to make a decision; instead, Vanny & Carrie always provided transparent, professional advice that helped us feel confident in our choices. It was clear that they genuinely cared about finding us the right home, not just closing a deal. If you are looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, patient, and truly have your best interests at heart, look no further. Thank you, Vanny & Carrie Costa, for helping us find our perfect first home - Francesco Sacchetti
