CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

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

I am a lawyer and my Wife is a Doctor. We live in Calgary, and were referred to Doug Read when we commenced our search for oceanfront property in East Sooke. Doug proved himself to be knowledgeable about local markets, patient about protracted and difficult negotiations with the vendors, and both honest and pleasant to deal with. Doug worked hard for us, and we very much enjoyed staying at his lovely B&B while on our house hunting trips. I heartily recommend Doug as your agent as purchaser or your listing agent if you are a seller. - Yours truly, Grant Stapon Q.C.

We would recommend Doug Read as a realtor because: Doug took time to speak with us to get to know what we were looking for in our new home. He was attentive and made sure he understood our priorities and criteria. When showing us prospective homes he paid close attention to what we liked and did not like. Doug is very knowledgeable about the listings available in East Sooke and surrounding areas and presented us with truly viable choices that matched what we were looking for. His recommendations and suggestions ensured that the home we bought suits and pleases us. He made time for us and was flexible as he worked with our schedule as we traveled from Vancouver. He kept us up to date and was quick to respond to our many questions and concerns by phone, in person and in email. Doug's knowledge of the process and legal requirements for buying and selling homes in BC enabled us to feel confident throughout the process and to complete a worry free transaction. I would not hesitate to recommend him for his attention to detail, knowledge, experience and exceptional commitment to his customers. We would do business with him in the future and recommend him to our friends. - Sincerely, Susan Schmitten

Doug Read is your man if you're looking for an agent to help you find the right property for you. He helped to make our property search an enjoyable and rewarding experience by really listening to what we said we wanted and asking for feedback on the properties we viewed. And, he encouraged us to keep looking until we found the right place for us, instead of settling for something less. We highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a real estate agent who puts his clients' needs first. - Karen & Mike Sargent, Metchosin, BC

My first contact with Doug Read was in early 2001 when I decided to return to Canada after living in California. While surfing the Web looking for a water view property on the South Island, I discovered one of Doug's listings. My first inclination was to make an offer on the property based on the web listing. Doug encouraged me to physically view the property. A week later, after viewing the property, I was sitting having lunch in his dining room with him and his lovely wife, Cheryl. Doug impressed me with his level of professionalism and his expertise. We have been close friends since the day we met. I would recommend him without hesitation to property seekers and sellers from abroad and locally. - Sincerely, Sean Thompson, Lawyer, Sooke, B.C./p>

Back in 1995, I thought it was time to start planning for retirement. Though I didn't know when it might occur, I knew that I had to find someone who I could trust to look after my interests, and further, was familiar with the properties on Vancouver Island. Luckily for me, I was introduced to Doug Read. Over the years Doug advised me many times, and he and his wife Cheryl have made the transition to our retirement home pleasant. One couldn't ask for a better person than Doug Read to represent them. - Sincerely Dwight and Connie Adamic, East Sooke, B.C.

Having dealt, over the years, with not a few realtors, I have found Doug Read's experience, insights, and integrity have earned him my enduring trust like no one else. This professional is in a league all his own, and I look forward to relying once again (I am already a repeat customer) on his personable expertise with the utmost confidence at the very next opportunity. - Sincerely, Andre' L. Le Palud

When my husband and I decided we wanted to look for waterfront property in E. Sooke, Doug Read found us that property. His extensive knowledge of the area and his history with the land, the weather and the people of the neighbourhood assured us that he would show us the area from the inside. Our dealings with Doug Read were both professionally and personally rewarding. - Merilou Clapper

Finding a new home was our top priority after having finished our immigration from Germany to Canada. Doug's profound knowledge of the local market and his kind patience to find out what we wanted has been successful. Finally we found a lovely and cozy house in Sooke. Well done, perfect fit. Thank you Doug. - Lothar and Iris Spingat
