Kudos to our Realtor, Louise Vella of Royal LePage - Sunshine Coast!
We met Louise at an open house in the summer of 2012, and remained in contact over the winter. She kept us informed of property availability through email and the mls link, and promptly answered our many queries, enabling us to become better informed.
The following summer we returned to the Sunshine Coast and continued to peruse the real estate market. Despite our upfront statement that we were not planning to purchase a property in the immediate future, Louise continued to make herself available during our compressed stay to view a wide range of properties. We were very impressed by Louise's friendly professionalism, open-mindedness, organizational ability to schedule multiiple viewings on short notice, her vast knowledge (pointing out pros and cons to areas of interest), and most importantly her patient, honest, and no-pressure approach that was consistently demonstrated.
We were successful in purchasing a lovely home, which would not have occurred if we had felt pressure of any kind!
Over and above these attributes, Louise provided us with the many local business contacts required to make the purchase with confidence. We would not hesitate to recommend Louise for all real estate transactions on the Sunshine Coast.

Court ordered sale
Louise worked with us to sell our home fast! We wanted to have a larger property with a bigger house that had a fixer upper on it. Louise gave us several options and we found the perfect home.
We needed to list our house and have it sell quickly as the house we chose was a court ordered sale and needed a fast closing. Louise was bang on with her comparative market analysis on our house as it sold for almost the exact price she suggested. Louise set up many showings to find the us the perfect Buyers.
We had no experience purchasing a court ordered sale, but she walked us through all the paperwork and red tape, and attended court in Vancouver as our representative. Louise helped us secure the purchase of the home.
We would highly recommend Louise, she is hardworking and puts 100% into her work.

My wife and I interviewed three Sunshine Coast Realtors, and also asked them for an evaluation of our home.
Louise Vella was our choice. The reasons :
1) We thought her evaluation was the most accurate.
2) We liked her approach and she understood our needs.
3) We knew we could work with her and she could work with us.
The house sold at very close to the asking price and in a short space of time.
We have no hesitation in recommending the real estate services of Louise Vella.

Louise is the best Realtor I have ever had.
She is honest and thorough.
She was also considerate enough to pick me up at the ferry every weekend, so that I did not need to pay for bringing my car over. I came to Gibsons quite a few weekends and she kept me busy with well paced and appropriately priced viewings.
I saw many homes before I decided on the house that I fell in love with. However, Louise continued to show me alternate listings on another visit to ensure that I had done enough comparison shopping, before I decided.
I never felt rushed or pressured. On the contrary, sometimes over coffee or lunch and a bit of sightseeing, I felt rather spoiled.
The paperwork and the closing on the home was easy and I still feel blessed to have found this home.
Louise works very hard and I would definitely recommend her.
