Testimonial........

"Highly professional, personal, energetic, knowledgeable, accommodating, and reliable. These are characteristics one looks for in a good realtor.  And this combination is Carmen Leal.  Best of all, it’s easy to tell that she is really invested in her work, and this means an enjoyable experience for her clients.

We are US citizens who love Vancouver and have dreamed of a part-time home here for many years. When we finally found ourselves in a situation where we were able to make that dream come true, we needed help understanding the Vancouver market and finding the perfect place.  We met Carmen, started working with her, and have felt we made the right decision ever since.

Carmen patiently helped us understand the Canadian real estate buying process, worked with us to pinpoint the neighborhoods that we found attractive, and targeted the types of home that we had in mind. From there, she was constantly available to show us many homes as we narrowed our search. She provided insights as to the quality of the homes, investment possibilities for each, and characteristics of the neighborhoods that make a real difference in day-to-day life.

When the time was right – when we found the perfect place – Carmen brought together all the resources that we needed to make it our new home. She worked with her contacts to pair us with an independent mortgage broker who specializes in out-of-country buyers. As a result we were able to secure a very advantageous mortgage that made buying even more satisfying.

Throughout the whole process Carmen’s greatest value to us was her personal touch.  She spent a great deal of time with us up front to truly understand the type of home we imagined for ourselves. She was in constant contact; always available.  She was interested in us, and what we wanted from our buying experience.  And most importantly, we never doubted that she had our best interests in mind.  A realtor on your side – that’s Carmen!"
