"As a first-time buyer, I really appreciated the very good service that
Don provided me. He patiently and carefully guided me through all the steps
involved in buying the house. I particularly valued his honest and clear input.
He did not hesitate to volunteer valuable information or to admit to areas where
he did not have relevant knowledge. He also pointed out defects in the house,
such as the patio needing resurfacing, which I would not have identified on my
own and which had a direct impact on the price negotiations. In short, I would
not hesitate to recommend Don and look forward to engaging his services again in
the future."

Dear
Don,
We
would like to express our appreciation of your excellent service when we bought
our house here in Victoria….When we originally contacted you we had only a week
in Victoria and you efficiently and graciously helped us top see many houses
that met our first specifications. When we did decide to make an offer on this
house, again you arranged everything with great expediency, and also assisted
us later in arranging an inspection and in locating a suitable lawyer.
You
went far beyond the call of duty when we had to take possession of the house
nearly three months before we could move here….You visited the house regularly
to meet our insurance requirements. You even watered some plants that remained
in pots outdoors and in the atrium each time you came….We sincerely appreciate
your services as an exceptional realtor and we feel indeed fortunate in finding
you when we came here to search for a home. We consider you the consummate
professional and also a friend. Many, many thanks.

Dear
Don,
Just
a quick note to thank you for all your help in finding our new home. We are
very much looking forward to moving in and will hopefully be done by Wednesday.
Your patience over the past couple of months is greatly appreciated. Like most
first time buyers (I’m sure), we were a little nervous and it was great to be
able to rely on someone when the time came to make the final decision. Many
thanks!

Re: Sale of our home in
Broadmead
Dear
Don:
This
is a short note to thank you for the remarkable job you did in the selling of
our home last May.
Not
only were all aspects of your dealings with us, and potential purchasers
professional and exemplary, but you delivered a sale precisely at 30 days after
listing, just as your “30 day sales program” indicated you would! Your untiring efforts, commitment to
service, and realistic listing policy, enabled a satisfactory transaction in a
rather difficult market. These actions
set a new benchmark for other Realtors in the Greater Victoria Region.
Your
work on our behalf is keenly appreciated.
Your help greatly assisted our relocation to Calgary.
Once
again, please accept our sincere appreciation.
Yours
truly,
Gordon Smith

We found Don to be very
honest and hard working during the marketing of our home [ at 962 Royal Oak
Dr.]. The home was not the easiest to sell and Don provided all the exposure to
the market as was possible. This included open houses, advertising, web site
advertising and working with the top two hundred realtors in the Victoria area.
We appreciated his advice on changes in housing prices and those things that
had an effect on the sale of our home.
It is our hope that Don
could be our agent should we need to sell our new home in the future. He was
most helpful in aiding us in our search for the new home and in closing the
deal when only my wife as available to complete the transactions.

Dear
Don,
Let
me take this opportunity to personally “thank you” for the effort put forth in
writing an offer on the subject property. Although we were unable to complete
due to an existing offer, I want you to know that I look forward to working
with you again sometime in the future. You are, in my opinion, a true example of a real estate
professional.

Dear
Don,
I
am writing on behalf of the Classic Boat Festival Committee to thank you for
all your help with this year’s festival. The festival was a great success and
it was clear that everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. We simply could not stage the
festival without the tremendous assistance and support from volunteers such as
yourself. Thank you again for all your help.

Dear

I
just wanted to give you some information about our office at Admirals
