In 2022, we were looking for a local realtor in Sidney BC. Found Holmes Realty through the…read moreinternet searches and sure glad we did! Our contact was Mariann, who is a sole buyer realtor (works on the buying side only). She was fantastic from the start. Very professional, excellent research and knows the market. We wanted a 2-bedroom condo that accepted dogs (2) and needed to have enough room for our furniture from Calgary. Mariann did the work - she reviewed all the Strata documents and floor plans to find condos that could work for us. In the end, she found us our Island Dream home condo. Just outside Sidney (North Saanich) and in a nice quiet area. We can't thank Holmes Realty and Mariann enough for their outstanding service. Don't look anywhere else as Holmes Realty is based in Sidney and knows the market better than others. 5 Stars from us!

This is a small island with many choices for realtors. A few years ago we went to Friday Harbor to…read morecheck out our retirement home possibilities. Lucky us, we began our investigation with Christopher Spaulding from the Island Group Southey's Reality! It's been over five years since that first meeting, and you would think that Chris would forget about that first meeting? That is not the case. Chris would periodically send us an email, no pressure whatsoever over this time and when we were ready this past June, he went into high gear on our behalf. Through text and email, we had 12 waterfront properties to choose from. With Chris offering valuable information throughout the process. When we arrived, Chris had set up a plan for three full days of house hunting. This accomplished, we had two days to revisit, do our due diligence and just go visit our final two choices. Throughout this entire process, including closing, Chris was with us all the way! His knowledge, savvy of local market conditions and professionalism, is excellent, his personality, calming during this stressful process and we believe, he is our first Island friend! The island life is not for everybody. But if you need help finding a home in the San Juan's, be sure and see Chris Spaulding!

Kathryn Bowes and her colleague Chris Spaulding were the perfect people to help us make the transition and find a home. Kathryn was organized, flexible, and patient (even after we waffled back and forth between buying undeveloped land, renting or buying a home (we even considered San Juan Island for a time)). She never pushed us in a direction but gave us important information and her opinions when asked to help us make a sound decision. In the end, with her persistence and her sound negotiation skills we were able to buy a real gem of a property with a 180 degree panoramic view of Cascade Bay and a commercial vacation rental property on the premises, all for 1/3rd the cost of our LA home. We've been living in the house for less than a week and Kathryn is still helping answer questions and graciously introducing us to the community. We we would highly recommend her and Chris Spaulding to anyone else.
