I will definitely use Melanie's services for my next purchase of a home, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for real estate or selling in the Parksville Qualicum area.

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!

We first started working with Melanie 2 years ago while we were planning our retirements and move to Parksville. Through it all Melanie provided us all the nessessay information we needed while remote. She was also there for us when we started our search even though we were not quite ready to buy. I am happy to say we have purchased a house through Melanie over the last couple of weeks and are satisfied and excited to take our next step in life. Thank you Melanie for all your time and efforts.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with Melanie! Buying a property out of province could have been difficult, especially in a hot market but Melanie was beyond accommodating and was there for us for every step of the way. Thanks to her, we were able to successfully find what we were hoping for. Thanks Melanie for everything!!

When looking for a realtor to help us find a new home in the Parksville area my wife and I came across Melanie Peake. From the very first contact Melanie was a pleasure to deal with. She took the time to find out our needs and kept in contact as we needed. We did not feel rushed or pressured as we searched the listings. House hunting during a pandemic had its challenges but Melanie was an excellent asset who helped us buy remotely and feel comfortable with our purchase. Her work with all of the small details really made the difference and we highly recommend her.

We absolutely loved working with Melanie. She is very professional and her genuine personality really helped us when buying our house in Port Alberni. Melanie is very detailed and she is always available to answer all questions. We would definitely work with her again. Katja and Antony

Melanie was a delight to work with. She is very warm and responsive to any messages or calls we made during the process. We also found that she has a calm demeanor, which is always helpful when dealing with multiple offers, subject removal, etc.

Melanie helped my partner and I purchase our home in Parksville. This was challenging as we didn’t live here at the time so we had many phone calls and Melanie did video tours for us as well. She was great to deal with and really understood our needs.

We enlisted the help of Melanie in July right when the market caught fire. She helped us set up searches and she was prompt in providing us details on the properties we were interested in. Melanie took us to many viewings with Covid-19 hygiene protocols. When we were not available to view houses in person she gladly took us on persanal home tours via video calls. After what felt like a long 8 weeks of waiting for the ideal property that checked all our boxes to come up for sale, we end up in a multiple offer situation and we were disappointed to be the runner up. She suggested we submit a back-up offer. The seller accepted our back-up offer and after waiting 10 days, the original buyer chose not to remove subjects. We were elated to be getting the property we dreamt of that was within our budget. Melanie is an experienced realtor with a handle on the local the market. She is a great listener and she worked hard to get us what we wanted. My wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend Melanie.
