Amanda Dunphy We lucked out. I don’t know how else to state it. Over a year ago we started on our journey to move from Ontario to BC. We didn’t have any contacts in BC for realtors or anything else for that matter. We searched online, looked at listings, and came up with several possibilities to help us in our search for a new home. For whatever reason we felt a connection with Amanda. Amanda was fabulous, dedicating her time and energy to set up multiple viewings within the 2 days that we were in town. You might be thinking so what, this is what she is supposed to do. In a sense you are right, but it is not what she does that sets her apart, it is how she does it. She is passionate about real estate. She is passionate about people. She is caring, attentive and this radiates in everything that she does. We didn’t buy on our first visit. We needed to sell our home in Ontario. This took about 8 months in total. Amanda stayed connected with us, answered all our questions, provided market trends, investigated new listings against our requirements and, kept a list of any homes that went off the market. One home that was off market that we were interested in Amanda reached out to the previous realtor to see if their clients had any interest in listing again. We got a hit. Amanda is a skilled realtor and negotiator and ensured not only we could meet our budget but also a very tight closing date to ensure we were not left homeless for any period of time. Amanda also at one point moved provinces and understood all the other things that needed to be done besides just buying a home. Over and above and realtors scope, she recommended several potential lawyers, inspectors, sought out potential family doctors, dentists, MMA clubs for our son and much, much more. All to say, Amanda is truly a blessing, and we can honestly say that she is a key reason that we were able to fulfill our goal of moving to BC and help us integrate into the city! Russ and Renee

Derek was fabulous... not only did he "do his job" well, but I really felt I had someone in my corner, that was knowledgeable and looking out for my best interests. My partner and I have had a number of real estate dealings in the last few years, and Derek's professional conduct, proactive nature and personal engagement in the process was so refreshing compared to other realtors that seem to be indifferent or apathetic.

Derek helped us find a new home in Kelowna during.a week long visit from Prince George in October. He was able to line up many houses for use to view throughout our visited. Derek was very detail oriented and often picked up key things that we may have missed in a house. He was friendly, and great company while we looked at the different houses over a week long period. Derek was always available if we had questions, gave great advice and helped us learn the differences between the neighbourhoods in Kelowna and was good at helping us understand the value in different homes. Derek was great throughout the entire process, helping us find a home inspector, sending reminders during different steps of the process right up to closing date, and even visiting after we moved in. We have already referred him to others and encourage anyone looking for a realtor to utilize his services. Thanks for all of your help Derek and for making the process of finding a new home easy.

It is not easy to find an agent who is standing in your shoes and thinking about your needs in today's real estate market. We were struggling with the deadline to move out and to purchase a new property in 2 months. We seen some properties which didn't match our needs, received wrong information, unprofessional suggestions, bidding wars... very frustrating...until we met Derek Martin. He listens to us and also give us his professional thoughts since he has been working in real estate market for years. He provides accurate information in a timely manner. He selected the properties based on our needs and actively searching the ones we might like. Compare to our experiences with other agents, Derek is like your friend who you can trust and provides his professional opinion in his professional field. We feel so thankful to have him as our agent. He helped us found a beautiful property in a month and ensured all the documentation are properly & legally done without any hiccups. I would refer him to all my friends. Believe or not, once you have him as your agent, he is on your side and saves money for you.

I recently closed a Real Estate deal with Derek. The deal was anything but smooth, while all concerns were outside of mine or Derek's control. Throughout the whole transaction Derek remained professional, calm, positive, and collected. After possession, an appliance stopped working and warranty had expired. Derek had no obligation to help but generously provided a solution. Derek was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend collaborating with him. Tim Boehm
