We went with Jan because we heard that she was the busiest real estate agent on Salt Spring, and we…read moreare happy that we did. We're from Vancouver and didn't know too much about the SSI market, so Jan stepped up and offered her wisdom and solid advice. She worked hard for us, often checking in or taking phone calls after office hours to keep us up to date on the progress of our offer and the steps that followed once it was accepted. We take possession of our first home this February and we couldn't have done it without Jan! We highly recommend using Jan as an agent if you are in the market for purchasing a home on Salt Spring.

We…read moreneeded to get a feel for the diversity of neighbourhoods on the island, and Jan had the answers! Her keen eye helped us assess the properties we viewed with her. A long-time islander, herself, Jan shared insider tips on where to go for everything from hidden beaches and hikes, to organic farm stands and bakeries off the beaten path. This level of knowledge is invaluable to choosing your neighbourhood in a new locale! Once we made our decision, Jan was extremely efficient in dotting every "i" and crossing every "t". The property we put an offer on was in probate, which carries with it a layer of unconventional challenges. Jan navigated these waters without hesitation and with the utmost professionalism. We are so pleased with our working relationship with Jan that I cannot over-emphasize the strengths she brings to the table! Jan is diligent, and she has exemplary people-skills! Such a joy to work with! If you are considering investing in property on Salt Spring Island, and want to work with an extremely good realtor, call Jan! You will be in good hands!

You know those commercials that stress the importance of needing a realtor, especially if you're…read morebuying a home for the first time? My situation easily could have been put into one of those commercials and Elliot would be the hero realtor in the commercial that saved the day. The time finally came where I was ready to spend my hard earned savings on a home of my own. I started looking at places online but had no idea where to begin. That's where Elliot came in. As soon as I told him what I was looking for, and in what area, he began sending me listings in my price range. I couldn't believe it: of the first three listings he sent me, I knew I found my dream home. It was love at first sight. Elliot immediately booked a viewing for me and my fiancé. He booked us viewings for all the other listings we were interested in too. So the search began. After going to all these viewings, I still had my heart set on the one I fell in love with. It was time to put in an offer. We told Elliot how low we wanted to go and he respected our wishes. When the seller countered, we came back with another low offer. Elliot listened to our requests to still go lower. He let us know of the risks of going too low (that we could lose the place) but still countered, giving the seller reasons to take our lower offer. His persistence paid off and the seller agreed! Our experience wasn't over then though. We had issues with strata fees that were supposed to be included in the cost, mailbox keys that had gone missing, property taxes, etc. Elliot stood by us the whole time. He was quick to answer our texts, calls and emails no matter the time of day. He worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly, despite a lot of our issues not being part of his job. As stressful as our closing was, Elliot was always there for us and made sure that we were happy. Even after the closing, Elliot has still been there to answer further questions we've had. Thank you Elliot for helping us find our first home and for getting us through all of the hiccups. We couldn't be happier now and won't hesitate to have Elliot help us again when we're ready to upgrade.

This is a long overdue review. I was looking for an investment property in Fall 2019. Having…read morealready bought / sold homes a few times over the last 2+ decades and thus have wide experience (good and bad) with different realtors, I tried to make this purchase on my own -- without a realtor. Long story short, in the end, I did work with a realtor. I chose Pete Shpak and I am still grateful 1 year later for all his assistance and advice. He's the best. Pete is a great guy - incredibly hard working and professional. You'll get that from reading all his other reviews. What really stands out for me is that Pete is value-added. He gave me information I didn't have access to - and I'm pretty good at research and digging for information on my own. Pete is a great listener. He heard me out and understood exactly what I wanted. He didn't waste my time. He knows what he is doing. He has opinions and will let you know what he thinks - but he doesn't force his views on you. He's also a brilliant negotiator. You can't go wrong. Two more reasons why Pete exceeds expectations and stands out from other realtors: (1) Pete understands the market; and (2) Pete knows his data. Pete was the first realtor in Vancouver who offered "previously sold" prices on the internet before other realtors started doing it. While assessed values of properties are available to everyone, only realtors had previously sold prices. I was digging deep on google for data on my own and was able to access Pete's data even before I met him!! It was only a coincidence we ended up speaking on the phone. During my search, Pete steered me towards a newer / popular building with a great reputation. It was very nice - but I found the unit small and expensive for price per square footage. I had wanted a larger footprint for that price. Nevertheless, I ended up buying the newer / smaller unit in January 2020 and inherited the tenant that came with the unit. Fast forward to end of August 2020 - my tenant advised she had to leave. Given the global pandemic (and landlords in the West End and Downtown were offering first & last months rent for free over summer 2020) I was prepared to have the investment unit sit empty. Boy - was I wrong. I had a dozen queries in the first 8 hours of posting and almost 40 interested renters over 2 days. Received 2 applications within the first 48 hours. There was a HUGE demand and I had NO IDEA. I found a wonderful new tenant within days after checking her references. Pete told me the building had a great reputation and was a solid investment for me. He was totally right! I'm not worried about having to rent that place out again if my current tenant decides to leave. I could go on about what a great, hard-working guy Pete is - but I'm sure his clients have got that covered in all the other reviews. Life has been busy and we've all had our issues to deal with - but now that 2020 is finally over, it will be nice to move on from last year. Pete was one of the silver linings from 2020 - someone I met and who brought value and good advice and someone I would be delighted to work with again should I have the opportunity to do so in the future. Thanks so much Pete!
