-Ashleigh Brown

My wife and I were looking to upsize our home as we recently got married and are looking to grow our family. Graeme and Violet made the whole process of selling our townhouse and buying a detached home quick and seamless. Graeme guided us through the whole process. He is very knowledgeable not only in real estate, but also financing and building architecture. He was very responsive and always looking out for our best interest. We are extremely happy and would recommend Graeme and Violet to everyone. They are truly qualified professional agents and we could not have done it without their expertise.

-Ed and Sophia Yee

Violet and Graeme are fantastic to work with and helped us sell our house in 2 weeks. They are well organized, knowledgeable, gave good grounded advice and most importantly were very proactive in working to sell the house. They were always available to answer questions often going out of their way to accommodate us and I felt we had their full attention and focus on selling our property. We were also very satisfied with the photos they took of the house and the staging in the sales materials. Overall an A+ :)

Helped Millie to buy & sell a home(s) in Vancouver in 2025.
This was the second time my husband and I worked with Violet and her business partner, Graeme. I was actually quite amazed at how quickly everything came together. We reached out to Graeme/Violet to let them know we were thinking of moving and he got the ball rolling and had all the open houses and photos done quickly. The photos of our home was done very nicely and i really liked how they staged it. We ended up selling within a month and also found a new place fairly quickly. Graeme and Violet did some magic and helped us secure a beautiful new duplex! The great thing is also Graeme and Violet's quick responses on Whatsapp. I felt like I had a million questions and they never made me feel silly for asking, even if it was the most mundane thing. I got a bit anxious at times, but they were both well informed and always had the answers for me.

Helped Jongrak - JJ to buy & sell a home(s) in New Westminster in 2025.
We worked with Graeme and Violet for both buying and selling, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. ​On the selling side, they truly listened to our needs. They developed a solid strategy and showed us what was possible without ever over-promising. They were also incredibly flexible and accommodated our busy schedule throughout the process. ​On the buying side, their expertise is unmatched. They handled all appointments seamlessly and provided deep insights into every neighborhood we visited. Most importantly, they have a keen eye for detail—pointing out potential structural issues or land concerns that we would have otherwise missed. If you want realtors who prioritize your interests and know the technical side of real estate, I highly recommend Graeme and Violet.

Helped S Wang to buy a condo in Vancouver in 2023.
I had the pleasure of working with Violet Chen to purchase my first home, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide throughout the process. Violet is passionate about real estate in a way that goes beyond just buying and selling—she genuinely cares about helping people find homes that support their lives. She’s patient and never rushes a sale. Instead, she gives each step the time it needs to unfold naturally. Over the years, she helped me explore what kind of property would best fit my lifestyle, preferences, and very limited budget. She consistently thought ahead, weighing all the factors—neighborhoods, presales, assignments, new versus older buildings—and always offered well-balanced, practical advice. Even before I knew exactly what I was looking for, Violet guided me through unfamiliar areas, pointing out the pros and cons of each and helping me understand the long-term value of different condo buildings and their amenities. Her insights helped me prepare for the right opportunity when it came. When we finally found the perfect home, we were able to move quickly and confidently—going from viewing to closing in just five days. But that smooth result came from three years of steady support, education, and thoughtful conversations about the market. Violet is the kind of agent who truly stands by her clients at every turn. I’m deeply grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate partner who is knowledgeable, grounded, and always has your best interest at heart.

Violet and Graeme did a wonderful job in helping us, and were able to sell our one-bedroom+den downtown within a short period of time. We are very impressed with their professionalism in ways to expedite an offer as well as property closure in a very short period. Their in-depth real estate experience exemplifies their excellent marketing skills. They looped in all ranges of prospective buyers and did everything right, which created a very quick turnaround for the sale. They guided us through the entire transition process from selling, negotiation, and executing a contract agreement to our property. More accurately, they made everything so easy, even without the inherent difficulties in the process. As the sellers of our property, we highly recommend the team of Violet and Graeme, and we appreciate their assistance. Excellent job, well done.
