Buying a new home can be a daunting endeavour . Finding the right home in difficult market conditions can feel like an impossible task. So, having a real real estate agent that listens to your wants and needs and is with you every step of the way, was critical to my ultimate success in being able to call Pender Island my new home. When I decided I wanted to uproot myself from city life and move to Pender Island , Sandy took the time to really listen to me, to hear my many concerns, hopes and dreams and to support me. Among her many positive qualities, Sandy has the knowledge about the island and the real estate market that comes from many years of being part of the community . She is responsive to every question and issue that might arise along the way. If there is a technical issue that requires an expert she knows just the person to provide the answer. [ Things like water quality, wells, septic systems and so on can raise questions requiring such experts] She is committed to her clients and committed to finding that special home you are looking for, no matter how long it might take .She is patient and understanding in guiding her clients through the myriad of anxieties that might and do creep in during the process. She is honest and straightforward ; never pushy or driven to simply make a sale. She sincerely wants her clients to be happy . And, she has made me very happy in my new home . Robin Timms
