Let our past clients tell you what is like to work with us:
"Working with Bonnie and Ben was a wonderful experience. From day one, they took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and to explain the current subtleties of the market. As a first time buyer, I had questions about everything and they always took the time to answer each and every one of them. They were extremely thorough in their research prior to viewings and quick to point of aspects of a home that wouldn’t work for me. I never felt pressured with Bonnie and Ben - they simply kept working until we found something that was perfect for me. They really made me feel that I was important to them; at the end of the day they were more concerned with my satisfaction than with making a sale. When it came time to sell my place and upgrade to something larger, I knew who to call!"
David Daniels - Vancouver
"We first met Bonnie several years ago when we were selling a property with another agent. We were so impressed with Bonnie's professionalism, knowledge, and expertise in handling the purchase for her client that we called her the next time that we needed a realtor. Since that time we have had the opportunity to work with Bonnie for both buying and selling property. She has great enthusiasm and truly enjoys working with her clients in order to meet their needs. Bonnie has been an advisor, counsellor, and negotiater on our real estate projects and we do not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends."
Heather McQueen - Vancouver
“The thought of navigating buying my first place without Ben is now unthinkable. No matter how many times I asked the same question, he answered it plainly and calmly. No matter how many times I wanted to spend out of my budget, he wouldn’t let me. And no matter how many times I’d convinced myself this one the right one, out of sheer desperation, he reminded of what my overall wish list was, and suggested that this place might not really, truly fit the bill. It was like buying a home with your conscience perched on your shoulder, whispering sensible things to you all the time. Sometimes cheerleading, sometimes cautioning. With genuine concern for putting me and my daughter into the best possible place, no matter how long it took, Ben’s professionalism, enthusiasm and local market/neighbourhood knowledge resulted in a very happy ending – a home I love, in a neighbourhood I love, for a competitive price. I know I couldn’t have done it without him.”
Ailsa Brown - Vancouver
"I have developed a very close business relationship with Bonnie over the past 3 years. It is a relationship built on trust, communication and dedication. I am particularly impressed with her sharp negotiation skills which have proved successful in each of the three purchases where we were facing multiple offers. Bonnie demonstrates professionalism, integrity and good humour in her dealings with clients. I give her my highest recommendation to family and friends and look forward to working with her on future transactions.”
Raymond Douville - Vancouver
"Not often am I as compelled to write a testimonial as this. The attention, patience and focus received from Ben throughout my long and inconsistent house search has been un-matched. Throughout this unfamiliar process I was helped and educated to buy the house that was a better match to my requirements than I myself appreciated at the time. I would recommend Bens services without reservation to anyone entering or returning to the property market in the Vancouver area."
Thomas Bramble - Vancouver
"I have worked with Bonnie for the purchase and sale of two apartments in Vancouver and wouldn't consider anyone else for my next move. She is professional, thorough, honest, and accountable and these are traits not often found in the field of real estate. She really understood that I was looking for places that felt like a "home" and felt right; not just short term investments. I have referred her to friends and family and they have nothing but rave reviews for her services. I really feel like she is respected in the industry and that puts trust in me that the negotiation process will go smoothly.”
Christina Granger - Vancouver
"It was a real pleasure having Ben as my real estate agent. Right from the get-go, he approached things with eagerness and professionalism. By working together to establish rigorous criteria at the start, we were able to refine our search so as not to waste time viewing countless unsuitable properties. This strategy paid off, as I quickly found a place that met all my criteria and with little effort (at least on my part!). From there, Ben reviewed various negotiation strategies with me, and together we decided on the best way to secure the property at a price that I was comfortable with. He skillfully handled the negotiation and put me at ease throughout the process. From start to finish, Ben was first-rate, making the home-buying experience the joy that it should be."
Christina Tan - Vancouver
"We just bought our first home! What a pleasure it was to work with Bonnie. She helped our search by being thorough and fast. She presented us with many options and helped narrow down our choices. The negotiations went smoothly, due to her professionalism. Being new to the real estate market, Bonnie explained the 'ins and outs' of various procedures with patience and a smile. Bonnie is a wonderful agent and we're very pleased to have her representing us. She made us and the seller feel comfortable and confident in the information provided. In the future we would not hesitate to work with Bonnie again. We've recommended her to all our friends with great success to all.”
Suzanne & Craig Brodziak. Delta, BC
“I had the pleasure of partnering with Ben to search for a house to buy in Richmond. The assistance he provided in helping me find the best available home to suit my requirements exceeded my expectations of what a real estate agent would provide. However, I subsequently faced difficult negotiations with the property owner that threatened to scuttle its purchase on several occasions. It was only through the serious time and effort that Ben invested into arbitrating our conflicting demands that I was ultimately successful in purchasing the home. I am extremely impressed with Ben's dedication to his customer’s satisfaction, and cannot possibly recommend his services more highly.”
Neil James - Richmond
"Bonnie Hastings was our realtor in 2007 when we bought our first property in Canada. As new immigrants from the UK we did not know the process of buying a house in Canada, and Bonnie explained everything to us clearly and took us through all the steps we needed to ensure completion of the sale. She was always extremely helpful and the purchase of our house went really smoothly. She was always ready with a smile and made us feel like valued customers and took a personal interest in us. If we decide to move again, we will not hesitate to use Bonnie's services again."
Carolyn & Phil Davies - Vancouver
“Ben helped us navigate the real estate market recently with the purchase of our first home. In a time when hard working agents are difficult to come by, it was great to find Ben. Even when our focus shifted from condominium to detached house, after investing a lot of time in the condo search, Ben remained committed to our quest. He offered a lot of insight into the market and neighborhood and his hands on approach helped us secure the purchase. It has a pleasure working with Ben and we recommend his services to anyone looking for an agent.”
