Elaine, I just wanted to thank you again for your help and guidance in buying our place in Vancouver years ago. It was a new experience for us then, and I don't think I fully appreciated just how seamless and easy you had made the process. Having done it now another time, Colin and I both found ourselves remarking on how much different it had been with you as our realtor! Thanks for taking the time to speak with us a few months ago and answer our questions. If we could have worked with you this time around, we would have in a heartbeat. Thank you for all that you do!

Elaine is a phenomenal Real Estate Agent! She listened to my needs and addressed them flawlessly. She really took my listing to another level than what I've ever experienced before.

Elaine was very professional and incredibly patient. We worked together for over a year checking out various Vancouver properties until my property in Toronto sold. Then we were able to really narrow it down. She took the time to really get to know what I was looking for and when she finally identified "the one", I had enough confidence in her judgement that I bought without seeing it "in real life". She worked hard to get everything "nailed down" for me and ensure that I was completely satisfied. She would be a great choice for anyone looking for property in the Greater Vancouver Area.

Throughout the process, Elaine navigated the unpredictable Vancouver housing market, prioritizing our needs and preferences. Her proactive approach and attention to detail made the process efficient and even enjoyable. She consistently communicated with us, ensuring clarity throughout the search, negotiations and closing.
In short, Elaine made our cross-province move a positive experience, and we highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy a home.
Thank you for helping us find the perfect place, Elaine!

It was a pleasure to work with Elaine to buy my first home in Vancouver. Elaine is very experienced in what she does, and it shows. She’s very thorough, honest, and professional. Her strong intuition really stood out to me as she was quickly attuned to what my partner and I wanted in a home - and she really cared that we loved what we ended up buying. She was also great in helping us check the strata docs so we would know everything we needed to know before putting in an offer. Checks all across the board!!

Can't recommend Elaine enough! She is not only an excellent realtor, but an amazing person to know and work with. Throughout the process of buying our condo we found her super helpful, patient and professional. We were new to Vancouver, and had so many questions. Home buying is a stressful process.

Thank you Elaine for helping us find our dream condo!

Elaine was such a great realtor to work with. She professionally guided us through the process of purchasing a pre-sell apartment in a sought-after new building development. She was extremely thorough, attended the developers open house with us, took her time to make sure we bought the best apartment based on our investment requirements, negotiated fiercely on our behalf and before we signed the developers contract she made sure we clearly understood the terms and were happy with it. If you are looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond what is normally expected, then Elaine's your person. You won't be disappointed.

Elaine was extremely helpful in the pursuit and purchase of our new condo.
As new residents in Vancouver, she helped us understand the differences between the Ontario and BC real estate laws and processes.
She also helped us carefully vet all the properties we wanted to visit, making sure the bylaws allowed for our two dogs, before taking the time to visit the property.
This was great, as it saved us a lot of time.
Her insight into the neighbourhoods and the current trends helped us narrow down our search, and find a great place for us to live and in an area which is a great investment for the future.
She was quick to answer our questions and helped set up viewings, either with her, or with the selling agent if she was not available.
Her attention to detail on the properties we visited together was great, and helped make sure we knew everything there was to know, before contemplating putting in an offer.
She also helped us by reviewing the condo docs and highlighting any red flags.

Working with Elaine was the best choice we could have gone with. While she was professional, her personal touch and her way of ethical working gave us the comfort needed to make such a huge decision. She was very patient thorough out the entire process, listened and understood our needs, always dealt with all the ups and downs very kindly, and was very thoughtful and friendly. I loved how honestly she shared her suggestions, and provided the much needed support. She treated us a lot more than just clients, and showed genuine interest in our well-being and making sure we make a right choice than a quick one. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a real-estate agent. Elaine is one of the best.

Elaine is a consummate professional: patient, responsive, ethical, excellent communicator. She spoke honestly about my home needs and steered me in the right direction to my current forever-home.

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Elaine Kay. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place and feel so fortunate to have found Elaine. She was extremely professional while also being very warm and personable. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood within our price range. We viewed several properties before making our decision and throughout the whole process we never felt any pressure and felt that she was genuinely invested in finding the right home for us. Elaine helped us navigate what could have been a very stressful purchase and made the whole experience a positive memory. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone buying a home in Vancouver!

We met Elaine through a recommendation to help us find property in Vancouver coming from Toronto. Elaine was able to help us understand the nuances between the two markets, worked to understand our wish list and what we were hoping for in a home, and helped us to find our home in the context of COVID and a very short timeline. She went above and beyond to ensure that our house hunting trip was successful while providing thoughtful, expert advice. Her passion for her job is evident in all that she does and her focus truly is taking care of her client. Would highly recommend and will return to her for our next real estate needs!
