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+ :)

Graeme & Violet recently helped us sell our property just two weeks after listing it, and at a favorable price, despite a challenging market for sellers. They are exceptional in the real estate market, providing the best advice on how to present our property. They know exactly which updates are necessary and which improvements are unnecessary. They are honest, professional and courteous. If we buy or sell again, we will definitely work with them again. We highly recommend Graeme & Violet!

Listed and Sold a house in New Westminster for Leona in 2024.
This was our first time to work with Violet but we arere amazed by her professionalism, care and patience! And her artistic side shined through when she and their team member Tiffany transformed our plain looking house artfully with tasteful decorations. Violet and Graeme worked together to help the sales of our house look like an easy task, but we do know how much works had been put in behind the scene on their end, from e-marketing to channels such as Wechat groups to garnish as much attention as possible. Our first open-house had a great turnout as an result of their hard work. I'll highly recommend Violet to anyone who consider a real estate transaction.

My wife and I are expecting a baby so we needed to upsize. We had a very tight time frame to deal with to sell 2 condos and buy a townhouse; met Violet and her partner Graeme in February and needed to get all of this done by end of May since the in laws are coming in June and baby arriving in July. Violet and her partner Graeme had worked together to guide us through this journey and in a bit over 2 months we've done it! They've helped us sell both of the property and bought our new home well within our expectations. Most importantly, both of our properties were sold at asking price and they've helped us negotiate a large discount on the purchase. They've also gave extremely helpful market updates and keeping us constantly updated so we felt at ease during this very stressful time!

The level of support was good star! Their knowledge of the field and the support they gave me confidence that I was going to get the best price for my home and to be able to find the home of my dreams. I would definitely recommend Graeme and Violette to anyone who is looking to sell their home or purchase their home.

Our family is expanding in 2024 which means we are needing more space. It’s been taking us awhile to get things going in terms of selling and looking for a new place. It’s abit stressful looking and selling in this high rate environment. Graeme and Violet were very easy to deal with, they made us feel comfortable and explained the entire process to us. We didn’t feel pressure or rushed. He helped us schedule open houses and attended them with us and gave us advice and recommendations at each viewing. They helped us secure an amazing offer on our new home with subject to sale! Which is rare now a days. Their team quickly helped us stage our condo and list our condo for sale. Private viewing and Open house was in the following week. They were very professional and worked very hard to help us get the best offer we could get. They even went back to the home purchase offer to see if they can reduce their price further to amend any difference we had between purchase and sale. We really appreciate the smooth process and being able to ask any questions that come to mind. We felt safe and taken care of. We would definitely put our trust in them again in the future and referral our family and friends.
