Testimonials

I recently sold my vacation home on Saturna Island with the help of Michael Vautour from Dockside Realty. I couldn’t be happier with the service or the outcome. Michael brought a whole range of skills and attributes to the marketing of my property. He was always prompt and efficient in his communications and I quickly learned that I could depend on him. His attention to detail was confidence inspiring. He quickly understood the concept of the place and was able to convey that in the marketing materials. The listing was spectacular, using the services of a photographer who provided drone footage. I had never seen the place look so good! He also researched the market well and was able to suggest an asking price that attracted attention and led to a sale in a year when most properties were not selling. He showed the property extensively, and never cut corners to save himself trouble. The negotiations went very smoothly, and I felt I had advice that I could trust at each step in the process. I admire his integrity and feel that the whole transaction was made easier because of his tireless work and skills. I highly recommend his services to anyone, whether they are buying or selling on Saturna.

Jaime conducts herself in a very friendly, respectful and professional manner. She guided us through the whole purchasing process as only someone with great experience could. She listened well and gave us her honest opinion of the pros and cons of each property. We never felt pressured or steered into any decision. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jaime to purchase our recreational property on Pender Island.

It is a great pleasure for us to commend Michael Vautour. As our broker, he represented us very efficiently and professionally during the selling process of our house on Saturna Island. Michael always and consistently put our best interests first and often went beyond his usual tasks to assist us in liaising with the community services required to enhance and expedite the sale of our property. Michael certainly knows how to work with people, to make human connections, and to follow up with whatever action is required to move things forward. We are thankful.

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
