Siya Herman is an awesome realtor She found lots of great houses to our specifications and lined up 10 viewings for our first day. She even managed to shift things around when we were a little late (still got to see 10 houses). She was also right on the ball writing offers and countering offers. She got us the house we wanted and bargained to get us a good deal! Siya is also incredibly good company and gives just the right prompts, to make you think about what you really want. She was prompt, friendly, efficient and effective, what else can I say? She comes Highly recommended by us Anne & Dave Jenkins

Pearl Ada Pridham worked with Siya Herman in 2019.
We made a happy downsizing move in August 2018, from a 3 bedroom rancher to a 2 bedroom seniors-oriented townhouse. Siya Herman and her team were wonderful in getting us through the move from start to finish! Siya first contacted me by phone when I expressed an interest in a Remax listing. She was not pushy but very friendly to talk to. She put us on her email list to receive all the latest listings online in the categories we were interested in. It was fun browsing through them every day, and whenever I found any that we wanted to see she happily arranged viewings. She pointed out helpful information to us and helped us with advice on making an offer, which was accepted immediately! I would heartily recommend Siya and her team!

Siya is a fantastic realtor to work with. She made our first time home-buying experience such a positive experience. She is very knowledgeable, attentive and prompt. She was very patient and understanding, especially in organizing this whole process while we lived out of town and had to organize viewings into such a limited amount of time. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a home or an investment in the Nanaimo area.

Just... what a wonderful human being. When looking for a house always look for a personable person to be amazing with clients, homeowners, and buyers. Those are the people who know how will look after your best interests and trust them to make buying or selling your house actually enjoyable.
