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. Elaine was there every step of the way, answering all our questions and addressing our concerns. 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.

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 worked as a team to win out by a narrow margin in the competitive Vancouver market, and I could not be prouder to have her by my side. Will retain her services if I decide to sell one day!

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!

I was a first time home buyer when I first met Elaine. Right from the start, she made me feel comfortable with the entire process. For making such a huge decision on my own I was very intimidated in the very beginning, but Elaine's professionalism, helpfulness, responsiveness and just overall genuine kindness made things pleasant and clear. She truly cares for people and you know she has your best interest in mind. When I was feeling overwhelmed, she took the time to go over everything until all was clear. I highly recommend Elaine and look forward to working with her again when it's time for my next home!

Elaine was happily recommend to me by a couple for whom she had sold their condo. I found Elaine to be very professional At our first meeting she arrived prepared with price comparisons for the area, well versed in the local market and with a well thought out marketing strategy. She put my condo on the market and within a week it was sold, subjects removed and at a price above asking. Through out the process Elaine communicated what she felt was needed with regard to staging, and what steps would be taken; photos, listings, showings, offers and subject removals. Elaine responded to all questions efficiently and effectively. I am looking forward to Elaine’s assistance and guidance as I purchase my next home

Elaine is absolutely fantastic! I was looking for a near impossible find. I searched for a year and had no success, so I contacted Elaine. Within a couple months she showed me a few locations and I found exactly what I was looking for. I am so happy! My move in date is in coming soon. I highly recommend her! She's kind, caring, goes the extra mile for her clients, and genuinely wants to help you find that perfect place. I can't thank her enough and will be working with her for all my future places. Thank you soo much Elaine!
