Vanny and Carrie are awesome! They are very knowledgeable and super friendly - we had a blast working with them! They really know the market and know what you need to win the house of your dreams. It's also great that they're working as a team - one of them are always available! - Shauna
Thank you so much for helping me find my first home! It was a pleasure working with you! There were a lot of houses we saw and you helped me find the one that I loved and wanted to make my own! - Steph Oinonen
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
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
Reply: Big thanks to the whole Meek Family! You are all awesome!!
Vanny and Carrie are absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. They really care about their clients, treat them like family. They are honest and forthright- no games. Made buying first house easy and exciting, highly recommend to other home buyers. - Cayley Hare
Reply: Thank you Hare Family! It was a pleasure working with you!

Vanny and Carrie truly are SUPERSTARS! From the very first meeting up until closing date and after, they are personable, professional, and always there for you. They understand your needs and wants and they always deliver. I've used them multiple times now and they have been absolutely amazing each time. All of their knowledge and skills make everything run smoothly and makes it an enjoyable experience! I will continue to work with them whenever I need it! - Megan

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

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

I consulted wit Carrie and Vanny when I decided sell my home. They assisted me with more than enough information to actually sell my home to a neighbour who had showed interest in the past. Their advice was trusted and timely. - Louise Ann Culligan

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

Vanny and Carrie are absolutely incredibly hardworking wonderful ladies. They are such a pleasure to work with. I’m a first time home owner and they helped me out considerably with every aspect of purchasing my home. Hands down remarkable ladies!!! 👍❤️🦁 - Michelle McCourt

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

From our very first connection with Vanny & Carrie Costa, we felt very confident & optimistic about selling our home. Individually, they were not only friendly, but knowledgeable, professional, & experienced. As a team, well, we could not have chosen better! Highly recommend !! - Les & Shelley Kay

Vannie and Carrie were amazing to work with!! We successfully sold one rental property, one principal residence, and purchased our forever home all within a few months with their help! Vanny and Carrie were VERY responsive to messages and made us feel comfortable and looked after. I HIGHLY recommended this team and will use them again for any future purchases and sales! =D - Seija Makelainen

After hearing of Vanny and Carrie from a friend, I opted to try them out with just an appraisal. I was sold after that. I found them knowledgeable, prompt, professional but also friendly and personable. From beginning to end, we’ve been happy with our interactions with them. I also appreciated how there were two; one was always available. Although this was our 4th home, we still have many questions and felt guided correctly the entire process. My family wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and we would definitely use them again. - danielle miller

These ladies are amazing! We were first time home buyers that were moving up to Thunder Bay from the GTA and were not able to physically be in Thunder Bay to house hunt. Vanny & Carrie were our eyes and ears throughout the whole process. We didn't really know what we were doing at all but they were so patient with us, answering any questions we had, were extremely responsive no matter the time of day and guided us through everything (even setting us up with a lawyer!). They were so knowledgeable about every neighbourhood; telling us the pros and cons of each and pointed things out to us in every house that we wouldn't have noticed on our own. Bonus: they are both so funny and sweet! 10/10 would recommend!! - Alexa Nedelcu & Stuart Matheson

Vanny and Carrie have been so incredible to work with. They are kind, hilarious, knowledgeable, and helped me find an amazing home so quickly. They guided me through every step of the process and were extremely quick to respond to all my questions. They made my home buying journey so much fun and I could not have done it without them. I cannot say enough good things about them and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor! - Alexa Hiebert

I required their services earlier this year to sell my home under different circumstances and they were absolutely awesome. Totally understanding of the circumstances, knowledgeable and being a first time seller had no problems running me through things that were outside of my realm. Made me feel very comfortable as they are very personable. Very much enjoyed working with them and highly recommend! - Kathleen Lagrange

When I moved to Thunder Bay, I contacted many realtors in the area whom were lacklustre and did not at all provide the service I was looking for until I met Vanny. Vanny delivered exceptional and expedient service and remained consistent when she helped me sell my home years later. Even after all that time, she remembered all the details of my home, remembered who I was, and essentially made selling it as easy as buying it. She takes you through all the steps and you needn't do very much at all. In a nutshell, Vanny takes your stress away. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, her integrity is steadfast and you can trust her to deliver on making the process simple without angst. There's literally nothing to worry about: If you have a question or concern, you reach out to her, and in a few short minutes, you have a response (no joke). She works around the clock and I know she was extremely patient with me by explaining or clarifying anything I didn't understand. Vanny truly wants to help and you will see through her amazing work ethic, her close attention to detail, her kind, soft-spoken, and helpful approaches to resolving any problems you may have---that you will not want to work with any other realtor after you meet her for the first time. Rest assured that this review is being legitamately written by someone that has experienced both the buying and selling process with Vanny. I stand by my words and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. - Mark

I can’t even begin to express how wonderful Vanny and Carrie have been through this whole process! It means so much to me all the hard work and effort that was put in to help me out. Without these two angels I would not have been able to seal the deal on my new house - these two deserve a 5/5 review easily! They have gone above and beyond and I would highly recommend these two lovely ladies to anyone buying or selling!!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for what you guys have done!! Process was quick, smooth, and one I will not forget!!! Thank you Co Stars!!!! - Dayna

These two woman are amazing the best at what they do. Honest and caring. Truly in this business to help people and not for the sale. They helped me find the best house for me not just the first house. Would strong recommend them. Will use them again in the future if needed.

Vanny and Carrie are awesome. I moved from the south and they went out of their way to help me at every turn, coordinating with reno people and letting the movers in before I got there.

Seamless experience with Vanny & Carrie Costa. They are the best listing realtors in Thunder Bay. They are proficient and helpful, with approachable personalities and compliment one another well. They helped me buy my home years ago, they found exactly what I was looking for. Excellent negotiators! Thank you to The Co-Stars! - Michelle Myers

These two fine lovely ladies are amazing to work with. They both went above and beyond their call of duty to help me find just the place I was looking for. After countless country drives they found me one. They negotiated hard for me, and ended up getting the sale price dropped by approximately $40,000.. This review is a little late but still a good one.. House was purchased July 2020. Thank you gals ❤️ - Richard Tomiak

We were having a tough time finding a house that met our family’s needs and we were getting really discouraged, but Carrie’s and Vanny’s optimism and expertise pulled us through. They seemed to be always available and got us in to see listings almost immediately. They pointed out things we may have missed and steered us away from potential renovation nightmares. Their guidance through the offer process and the closing process made it so easy for us. Their recommendations for a home inspector (thanks, Callum!) and lawyer (thanks, Kady!) were also excellent—both were as easy to work with as Carrie and Vanny themselves. We are so happy with the service that they provided…and we’re very happy in our new home! Thank you, Carrie and Vanny! - Monia Lalande and Chris Walter

The Costars are truly amazing! Highly recommend Vanny and Carrie. They are with you every step of the way. Wether it’s buying or selling these ladies have you covered. Chi Miigwetch for everything! You ladies went over and above what is expected! Thanks for including my family in the process it was meaningful for us. You will enjoy their time and humour. Their presence is known within the community. Their social media presence is also well known. They are knowledgeable and experienced. Very professional they have great working relationships with other listing agents, mortgage specialists and of course real estate lawyers. They know their stuff!

Highly recommend these two wonderful realtors- Thank you Vanny and Carrie! - Russ & Diana

Both Carrie & Vanny were present, responsive & attentive. I had a previous experience with selling & buying that was horrible - so much so, I was considering selling privately by myself. I looked up agent reviews and saw what people had to say about the Co-Stars and I thought: I am going to talk with them. I also intended to speak with one other agent, however, after my initial meeting with Carrie I knew I would work with them. They are both professionals first & foremost. They are both capable and interested in real-talk conversations. They are both hilarious as well as understanding. They do what they say & say what they do - every step of the way. They stayed totally open & communicative with me and not once did I feel like a bother. They were helpful at answering the "little things" that we can sometimes forget at the outset and then feel a little silly to have to ask later on. I would recommend them 100% - unless you are allergic to a strong work ethic, humour, professionalism and common sense...otherwise, these are your gals! - Sheryl Jager

I didn’t know selling a property is as fun as what I’ve experience working with Carrie & Vanny. They are very cool, relaxed and effective with dealing with me as a client. I love working with them and I will surely work with them again in the future. No wonder why they ranked #1. Well-deserved. - Marivic

Vanny and Carrie were exceptional. I didn't know what to expect going into buying a house and they made the entire process much smoother than I had imagined it would be. They were straight shooters the whole time, knowledgeable, and went to bat for us when anything went wrong. They listened to our needs and communicated clearly with us whenever we had questions or concerns about any step of the process. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, and would only deal with them in the future. - Jason

Vanny and Carrie were exceptio
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
