"We met Doug and Cheryl three years ago when we were scouting the area for our future move to Canada. Even though, at that time, we did not know for sure when we would finally be able to move, Doug and Cheryl spent an entire day with us showing us properties and explaining the process, our options and the overall real estate situation. After we went back home, they kept in touch and kept us informed. When we came back here three years later, they were there for us, even organized their holiday to suite our needs. Because of their incredible dedication, knowledge, attentiveness and attention to detail, we felt safe and taken care of at every step of the way. Thank you so much for helping us find our dream home. We have no hesitation recommending Doug and Cheryl as your real estate team and, in the meantime, have introduced them to some friends who had exactly the same experience." - Sincerely, Antje & Falk Wagenbach, East Sooke
"Buying or selling property is one of the most important transactions that will occur in a persons lifetime and it is important to choose the right agency and the right realtor. How do you do that? By looking at the track record of the agency and realtor and their commitment to the area." - Doug Read
