Melanie Peake*

Melanie made finding our dream little beach cottage come true! We met Melanie this Spring when we fell in love with the area - wanting to find our Island Escape. Melanie sent us listings regularly through the summer and coordinated visiting potential properties. She is ever so patient, so incredibly prompt and respectful of our time. The perfect property had an offer on it so we had to act quickly with Melanie helping us to strategize and ultimately we were successful! She has made multiple follow ups for us as we managed the process from Vancouver. We are so grateful to Melanie and highly recommend her to help with finding your dream property.

Melanie has been an amazing asset to both my home selling and home buying journey! Always professional and knowledgeable, she’s been diligent with helping me look for potential purchases, marketed my home beyond expectation, and always quick to answer questions and make herself available when needed. She’s never pushy and has been amazingly understanding that finding the right home takes time and is really about the personal fit. I’ve used her services twice now, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Selling our condo was a very positive experience with Melanie representing us. She was very professional and supportive. Her real estate expertise was such an asset, her property valuation was more than fair and she guided us in all aspects. She was always very open and upfront with us throughout the whole process. She had professional pictures taken and measurements done. Thanks to Melanie for all her advice, knowledge, transparency, guidance and expertise, our property sold quickly and above asking.

Melanie helped us find our dream home. We were out of town and she was our eyes and ears - we bought the place sight unseen because we trusted her 100%. Melanie is extremely knowledgeable about the Parksville market and areas and provides solid, helpful advice. The buying process was smooth throughout because she is a pro.

We could not have had a better experience selling an estate property, from the first meeting to the final sign off it was seamless.

We chose Melanie to sell our home from all her great reviews and she lived up to every single one of them. She was excellent to work with and very positive throughout this stressful time. Melanie took the time to answer all our questions and kept us updated through the whole process of selling our home. She is very friendly, professional, reassuring and prompt. Everything was professionally done, from the staging to the pictures and video. Melanie went above and beyond with the video and brochure she put together. This made our house look as special to buyers as it felt to us as owners. Everyone, including other real estate agents were impressed.

We had been searching for a mobile home on Vancouver Island for a while. We ran into the problem of the hot market . We saw many places that we liked and bidded on a couple. We had our hearts broken many times! The biggest concern was living in Surrey and having to travel to the island to see properties. Sometimes a property was listed and sold within one to two days. We were getting to the point of giving up on looking for our forever retirement home. I received an email on a Friday with a home listing in Qualicum Bay. We looked at the listing and thought, this is the one! It was in the area that we wanted to live in and ticked off all of the boxes. We called Melanie and she got right back to us. We asked a bunch of questions and she got all of the answers and followed up with us within a couple of hours. We knew that we couldn't travel that weekend. After much deliberation, we decided that we would put an offer in on the house sight unseen. Melanie insisted that she couldn't in all consciousness sell a home to someone without someone seeing it first. Melanie went to the home, did a walk through on FaceTime with us. This was Sunday night. She had learned by that time that bids were being accepted Monday morning by 11am. Melanie spent the rest of her evening writing up the offer, sending to us for signatures and changing any required documents. Melanie had a late night and was up the next morning to finish it off and send it in to the other agent. Unfortunately, the owners accepted another bid. We were heartbroken, but knew that we had a great real-estate agent who had our interest at heart. We gave Melanie our bucket list and left it there. On the Tuesday morning, Melanie called first this to say the accepted bidders revoked their offer and wanted to know if we wanted to go ahead. We of course accepted. We only had two conditions on the sale, an inspection and a viewing by us by the Friday that week. Melanie worked to arrange a wonderful inspection. They met us at the home on the Thursday evening, went through the inspection report and viewed the home and then returned back to the mainland that evening. We had forgotten to give Melanie the bank draft in the rush. She drove down from Qualicum to Nanaimo to pick up the cheque. She worked to get the conditions. We were dizzy, we had found and purchased a home within one week, from a distance. Melanie was always on top of everything and had excellent communication and follow-up skills, she truly has her clients best interests in the forefront. She acted professionally and her timing was remarkable. Melanie continued on to monitor the sale and smooth transition of the home. She accepted the keys for us, did a walk through to ensure everything was as it was supposed to be. She is going to hold the keys for us until we can get there to receive them. I have bought and sold homes several times in my life and I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences I have had. I highly recommend Melanie to be your real-estate agent on Vancouver Island. I know that if we sell, or move again, we will certainly be using Melanie for the transactions. Now to start the search for someone for our other homes sale, a few years away, but treasures like Melanie are hard to find.

Melanie has been so very easy to do business with in the purchase & sale of my home. She is always on top of her game in being easy to contact & being available as well as crossing all the dots & t's in all the transactions that were involved. I found her to be very dedicated person in taking care of my needs. I am so very grateful to have had such a rewarding experience in having found her. She is the Very Best - A very Hard & conscientious worker. Many thanks & gratefulness Melanie for going way beyond the call of duty in all you have done for me.

This was my first time purchasing a home, and Melanie Peake was wonderful helping me, what to look for, guiding me through the work done after the purchase, and she made this opportunity possible for me. I would certainly work with her again.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Melanie. Our quest to find a home on Vancouver Island, during a pandemic, while still living in the Fraser Valley, presented its own set of unique challenges. Melanie was terrific. I think what impressed me most was that she always got back to us right away! She found the answers to even our most trivial questions. When the time came to make an offer she explained every step of the process, kept us updated, and we never felt any pressure whatsoever. She makes you feel like you are her only client and that you have her full and undivided attention. Five stars Melanie.

The best decision anyone can make whether buying or selling is to choose Melanie Peake. She is a consummate professional from start to finish and takes all the stress out of the process. Our dealings with Melanie and the outcome of our sale exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her services.

We hired Melanie to sell our home in this fast paced sellers market and she did not disappoint. Her marketing of the home was very professional and absolutely helped getting the home in front of the right buyers She initiated a plan to get the home showings and offers and it was executed perfectly as our home sold in under a week and over asking. Best of all, no stress on us as her communication was excellent throughout the process. We would recommend Melanie for any real estate transaction and would definitely use her again. Thanks Melanie!
