Sylvia and her wonderful assistant Kari have been extremely helpful to my family and I over the course of several past months.  We have used their services successfully a number of times for different needs: to find a place for myself and then my parents.
I have been fortunate to find Sylvia accidentally by phoning about a property that was posted on MLS.  I immediately liked her professional manner, honesty and pleasant personality and decided that she would be a great agent to represent me.   She has been very patient and constructive with the process of defining my first-time-buyer needs and then helping me find the right property.

I am also extremely grateful for how Sylvia and her team has taken care of my parents who are new immigrants to Canada.  She has made the process of finding their first place here a good experience regardless of their limited familiarity with the language and current culture.

Besides being very knowledgeable, intelligent, tactful and professional, Sylvia's most valuable quality is honesty.  I have always felt that she truly represented the interest of my family and I.

I am planning to continue working with Sylvia and Kari to now sell a property and cannot imagine finding a better team to help me!

I have known Sylvia for over 10 years and I cannot imagine entering into a real estate

transaction without her involvement. Sylvia has been highly instrumental in the purchase of my home as well as numerous investmemt properties over the years. Her honesty, knowledge of the real estate market and work ethics has enabled me to buy and sell real estate with confidence . Without hesitation, I highly recommend Sylvia's services for any of your real estate needs.

 I have known Sylvia for two years and in that time, she has acted as my Real Estate Agent on five occasions - she helped me buy and then later sell my first condo, and then to buy my second.  She was excellent about understanding what my needs were and had a great sense of what I was looking for, so that we didn't waste any time going to places I couldn't afford or wouldn't like.  When we were selling my condo, she showed my suite numerous times despite it being more difficult for her because I had a tenant living in the suite who did not share our taste in decorating! 
 
I have found Sylvia to be extremely helpful and willing to meet me any time my schedule allowed even though she has numerous other clients.  She managed to negotiate prices for me that met with my satisfaction (and my budget) all three times.  She had her work cut out for her too, because I was a completely novice buyer (and seller) and needed a lot of hand-holding and extra explanation of how things worked.  I would not hesitate to recommend Sylvia, and in fact have referred her to four friends who also purchased homes with her.
 
If you would like to contact me with any questions, please call me at (avail upon request) or e-mail me at (available upon request).
 
Thank you,

I have completed three residential real estate transactions with Sylvia over the past few years and have been completely satisfied with her level of service.  Upon moving to Vancouver, I was initially referred to her by a colleague and was quite impressed with her knowledge of the market, honesty, promptness of response, and overall business acumen. 
 
With my purchases, she was able to completely understand my criteria, offer helpful market advice, and was genuinely concerned that I purchase something that fits the goals that were originally set out.  She was equally as productive when asked to sell my property as she was able to complete the transaction rapidly getting almost full asking price and ensuring that I was not inconvenienced in any way.
 
I would recommend her services to anybody and will be sure to look her up for my next transaction.
 

Sincerely,
