John Surtees *PREC Reviews

<p>We had a limited amount of time to find a property and complete a move in city that we had little familiarity of. John helped us initially by adding focus to areas that we should concentrate on. Even within that area, he dared his beliefs on very specific locations, the strengths or weaknesses of an area or home. John was also very helpful in providing information on a variety of service providers that we would require to finalize our purchase. His firm is very capable of dealing with "at distance" buyers. Systems are intuitive and easy to use.</p>

<p>John is a pleasure to work with! He is a good listener, patient and very informed. He is diligent with follow up, ensuring all requested information is provided...and very helpful and resourceful in making sure all questions are answered. He seeks to understand what his client is looking for and presents good options and a good cross section to allow buyers to understand the area market and what their $$ can buy. I really appreciate being in his push email... Sending listings to my email that meet the criteria of home I am looking for...<br /> It's been a year since we started working with John and we still keep in touch. Even though we purchased one home...we continue to explore other properties of interest in the area. I am honoured to call John a friend as well as our agent!</p>

<p>My husband and I would recommend John to anyone purchasing a home in this area. His knowledge of Ladysmith and surrounding area was really helpful in our final decision.<br /> All of our calls, texts, and emails (and there were many!) were answered in a timely manner, and were never meant to feel like we asked too many questions. When purchasing a home long distance its great to have someone you can trust to handle things when you cant be present yourself.<br /> Once the sale was final and we were all moved in, and not yet knowing anyone in the area I needed a personal favour with regards to our child, and John helped us out with that as well, for which we are really grateful.<br /> He still keeps in touch, checking on how we are doing. The sale was in August and we still hear from him and it is now November. A reliable realtor and a truly nice person.</p>

<p>John and his team have made buying and selling homes a fun, enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him and his crew.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, I called Remax for a market evaluation. I had no intent on selling any time soon, but was very interested on the value of our home. John showed up the same day, he was professional and optimistic. After we received our evaluation, we casually searched for homes online...this ended up with an accepted offer on a new home leaving us with only 3 days to list our house! John was great with the stress of a quick listing and his communication and suggestions were greatly appreciated. Four days after listing, our home was sold. if you're looking for a realtor who is on your team, John is your guy!</p>

<p>I bought and sold my condo with John and he is so personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Always very prompt and on top of everything.<br /> Would recommend him highly for any buyer or seller in the Nanaimo area as a trustworthy partner in your transaction!</p>
