Testimonials

  • I was referred to Rina by one of her past clients. On contact, we met and Rina immediately went to work on a business plan and strategy to market my unit. Rina went beyond my expectations of what her role as my agent would be. In my lifetime I have listed many properties, but never have I experienced such efficiency and professionalism. This resulted in a successful sale. Rina is a credit to her profession, and I would recommend her to any seller without hesitation. Thanks again Graham Carswell

  • Dear Rina, We would like to thank you for your timely and attentive response to our sale. We were recommended to you by others living in our neighbourhood. Your experience and deep understanding of the local market were valuable in making a sale during a period of ever-changing real estate conditions. Rina provided exceptional service and the property information, photos, and videos were able to showcase our home to its best. She was always punctual, and incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and ensured other realtors were actively aware of our home. Rina kept us informed after every viewing, was prepared to work late into the evening to support the sale, and provided a balanced response during all the negotiations. We would recommend Rina to other sellers as a caring professional who always had our best interests at heart. Thank you for making our move to Vancouver Island become a reality.

  • Rina is an exceptional agent. She went above and beyond getting our place ready for sale, and was a valuable ally in the face of a last minute disaster. She is a tireless worker and always had our best interests at heart. Most of all, she was a pleasure - and fun - to work with!

    - Margo Fearn
  • Rina is immensely kind, thorough, and patient. She made the entire process from start to finish incredibly easy and fun. She's always available to answer any questions. A quality that is especially appreciated since we were first time buyers. She gave us great advice on what to look for in a building and a neighborhood and I'm just so impressed at how smoothly everything went. She doesn't shy away from telling you what she thinks and you can trust her to steer you in the right direction.

  • If you’re looking for a competent, efficient, effective, honest, and ethical realtor then give Rina Brown a call. Rina worked VERY hard for us to sell our home in Burnaby in 2018 when the market started to stall and flatten in terms of home sales. It was a buyers’ market but we sold our home for a fair price thanks to Rina’s effective negotiation skills and hard work. She guided and supported us through this stressful process. She helped us navigate the presale purchase of our new condo in North Vancouver. She knows the market and inventory on the North Shore very well which helped to simplify our condo search. We were 100% satisfied with her expertise and service. Thank you, Rina.

    - Jessica & Frank Dragojevich
  • Rina is the absolute best! She is thorough, professional and fantastic to work with and made the complex process of buying our first home a lot more enjoyable. We were new to home buying, but Rina was extremely patient and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. From what we should look for during the open houses, to how to prepare an offer that was more likely to get accepted, giving great advice on how to navigate the mortgage broker and the strata – she was happy to explain it all to us. She is amazing at communicating and always easy to reach if we had questions or queries. She kept us apprised about available listings and always let us know as soon as a new one came on the market. She was very honest and forthright – and would let us know straight away if she didn’t feel like a listing was right for us. She really cares about her clients as well as the North Vancouver community and it truly shows. We have heard horror stories from friends and family about how hard it is to find a great realtor. Rina is both professional and personal, never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way. Working with her is like having a friend on the inside - I would highly recommend working with her to anyone. We are glad to have found a realtor for life!

  • Our family worked with Rina when our son was born 10 years ago and we purchased our first home. We reached out to her again when we decided to sell and Rina sold our home within 1 week of it being listed with multiple offers, over the asking price. Purchasing again this year was very stressful and unpredictable and Rina was always there to answer all of our questions throughout the day, providing us with step by step instructions that put us at ease. Rina was extremely attentive and available for last minute showings and provided us all the details we needed to ensure we were making the right decisions. Rina went above and beyond and we couldn’t happier. Thank you for all you time. We will miss your smiling face!

    - Lindsay & Ben Chute
  • We have been more than 100% satisfied with the 2 sales of property listed with Rina. She is truly a professional. From start to finish she was always available for every question throughout the process. Her advice and information were based on sound knowledge, experience, current market research and principles. Her marketing and showings were carefully planned and executed. Nothing was left to chance. My first listing was in North Vancouver, our family house for 48 years which I dreaded selling. Much to my surprise with the right realtor, Rina Brown, it was truly a painless and enjoyable experience. This was in February 2020, just prior to Covid. The house sold in 5 days while I was visiting Japan. I have relocated to Kamloops. The second listing (May 2021) was a condo in downtown Vancouver, owned by my son, Matthew, who resides in Japan. My son and I met on Zoom with Rina several times. She aided in everyway possible with the tenant move out, painting, and staging in preparation for the listing. The condo was listed on a Wednesday and offers were submitted the following Monday. Rina hosted 17 individual showings in that period and the property was sold with no subjects and over the asking price!!

    - Carol & Matthew Saunders
  • Rina Brown is the model from which the real estate course ought to be written. Professional, personable, knowledgeable, expeditious – Rina had our back throughout the whole journey. With her expert guidance we never felt pressured; rather, her thorough research allowed us the comfort to move forward with confidence. Thank you Rina. It was a joy to meet you and a pleasure to share this venture with you.

  • I recently had the task of selling my elderly Father's condo in North Vancouver. I was recommended to Rina Brown at Oakwyn Reality from a neighbour of my Dad's. From the first contact with Rina she came across very professionally, letting me set the pace. Rina was extremely prepared at our first in person meeting, bringing with her a booklet containing all of the other sales in the complex, how long they had been on the market, the asking price, as well as the final selling prices. In addition to specific information about the complex, Rina also had graphs on benchmark pricing for all of North Vancouver. She did a great job of explaining the upcoming process, for example, how the first 10-12 days were very important to get people into see the unit based on informed pricing. This allowed me to make an educated decision about pricing the unit as well as helped me to understand what was needed to help with an efficient sale. The communication from Rina was unbelievable. She would inform me whenever there was a showing and following the showing she would text me with an overview of the meeting. We were able to sell unit after a few weeks and both my Father and I were pleased with the final sell. If you are in the market for a Realtor, I would highly recommend Rina Brown; she is highly motivated, well informed and a wonderful communicator.

    - Ken & Eric Oxenham
  • We recently worked with Rina to buy our new home and she truly went above and beyond for us in every sense. We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, professional, helpful or trustworthy realtor. We had a lot of specific requirements and we were looking in a very competitive market, which for some realtors would be a challenge, but Rina was incredibly prepared. She sent us listings as soon as they hit the market, was armed with all the extra information we needed before we even requested it and was always available to thoughtfully answer all of our questions. From our first phone call to Rina to getting our keys on possession day, we knew we were in the best possible hands. We would never use anyone else after working with Rina and would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. Thank you, Rina!

    - Danielle Lucas & Tristan Taylor
  • We have known Rina for many years as she worked with my mother in the past. It was our first ever home purchase and Rina was extremely patient as we attended many viewings. Being first time home buyers she provided us with all the information needed to know regarding costs and how a purchase works and we feel extremely knowledge now for the future. Once we found the home we knew we wanted, we were walked through the entire process. Rina was extremely thorough in regards to the strata documents as well as provided much needed professional advice when issues arose to help us make the best decision possible. We are extremely happy with our experience with Rina and would most definitely recommend using Rina as a realtor.

    - Ashley & Harry Woodhouse
  • We have had the pleasure of working with Rina both on the purchase and now the sale of our house. We have been very happy working with Rina and would highly recommend her! She is professional, caring and has gone above and beyond our expectations. Rina gave us valuable information and advice on how to receive top dollar for our place. She made the process simple, stress free and was there every step of the way. Always available via phone, email or text if we had any questions. If we weren’t moving out of town, we would have continued to have her on board as our realtor. She took time to vet and find us a realtor in our new town, which we are so thankful for. Such a pleasure working with you Rina, thank you for everything! - C & A

  • Thanks once again for all or your tireless work in selling our Father's home. As you know we received glowing testimonials from our long-time friend, Ben English & his friend Dena & that is why we chose you over the other realtors we interviewed Your professional attitude & the fact you were on the Real Estate Professional Conduct Committee also helped us decide that you were the realtor we wanted to represent us in the sale of our Father's property. My brother is a Professional & I'm an retired Professional & we are used to & prefer dealing with people with very high standards & professional integrity & you have displayed those qualities throughout the process. You have been all that Ben & Dena said you would be & more - hard working, diligent, timely, professional, considerate, compassionate & understanding & someone who would go the extra mile for us & see this process through to a successful & positive conclusion. You helped generate several viewings at a time when competing & comparable properties were getting few or none. You were very realistic in helping us establish the market value of Dad's property & kept us informed throughout the process as market prices were changing. At the 11th hour of the negotiation you correctly judged the potential buyer's price ceiling & managed to negotiate a significant increase for us over their previous offer. We are very happy with the final sales price which fell almost in the middle of what we had initially felt our high & low range of a "realistic" selling price would be. The Fall/Winter season of 2017/2018 saw the # of sales of detached homes decline dramatically, interest rates beginning to rise, new rules regarding qualifications for mortgages & the foreign buyers tax which all combined to create uncertainty in the markets & causing market prices to begin falling off in many cases. To achieve the sales price we did in such an uncertain market is a credit to all of Rina's tireless work behind the scenes. My Brother & I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know who is selling a property or wishes to contact us to inquire about the exceptional service you provided for us.

  • Rina is an absolute delight and a thorough professional to work with. She has been instrumental in the purchase of our primary residence in addition to the purchase and sale of a secondary income property. She has consistently gone above and beyond our expectations and always had our best interest in mind. Sharp, Witty and resourceful; she takes the time to listen and does not rush her clients into making any hasty decisions. Her network of professional trades personnel be it plumbers, painters, general contractors etc., also came in very handy. She responds promptly to any queries and provides candid feedback. Over the years Rina has also become a friend we can count on. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an amazing realtor.

    - Greg & Seema Ahira
  • Dear Rina: Our dear friend highly recommended you and he was so right to do so. From the get go we were impressed by your knowledge of the real estate industry and your professionalism as we went through this journey. You were so generous with your time in showing us suites that might be suitable for our needs. The exercise really helped us to decide what we did and didn't like. When we listed our house for sale you were so accommodating and helpful when preparing for showings and open house sessions. Your negotiating skills were impressive as we went through the offers. You are a true gem and we will highly recommend you to our friends and family. We feel we have gained a special friend and hope you will keep in touch.

    - Barb & Rod Striegler
  • It was an absolute pleasure working with Rina to sell our condo recently. We have experienced other realtors in the past but she is hands down one of the best. We needed to sell our place quickly and she didn't hesitate to get it done in a professional manner. She marketed our place like she would a high end property and as a result we got top dollar for it. Without thinking twice, I would recommend Rina for any real estate need. If we weren't moving out of the area, I would definitely work with her again. Thanks again Rina!

    - Kristina Rody & Oliver Blake
  • We have used Rina as our realtor twice now. Firstly when we purchased an apartment in North Vancouver a number of years ago and then again when we recently sold it. We have found Rina a delight to deal with and a person of honesty and integrity that is determined to provide the highest level of service to her clients. Rina kept us informed at all times as we went through both the buying and selling processes so that there were no surprises! Rina has a great knowledge of the local real estate market and provided us with really good advice. Not only did Rina keep us informed but she was always available by email or phone when we had questions. We have no hesitation in recommending Rina as your real estate agent as we know that you will be in very good and capable hands. Peter & Helen

  • From the moment we met Rina, we knew we were in good hands. She earned our trust very quickly. She was always readily available to answer questions and ready to jump in whenever we needed her. She worked swiftly while also paying attention to detail. We always knew she was working in our best interest as she went above and beyond our expectations, providing us with pertinent research and information as we searched for the right condo. Without question, her experience steered us in the right direction and made the entire process very stress-free. Even after the purchase, Rina was always available for questions. She's an absolute pleasure to work with and we enjoyed her positive attitude very much! I would not hesitate to recommend Rina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced and dedicated realtor! — Lena Sin and Nick Tay

  • We can honestly say that working with Rina has made our real-estate dealings more stress-free than we ever could have imagined. We have used Rina multiple times to both buy and sell properties, and will always return to her for our needs. Rina builds and establishes an incredible trust very quickly; if you're looking for a home, she is extremely transparent and forthright about the pros and cons of a given listing, and will provide very honest counsel when considering whether a home is 'right' for you. And if you're selling, Rina will not only provide incredible advice and contacts on how to upgrade/stage to receive top dollar, she will provide the most professional profile to generate incredible buzz for your property. When we were selling our townhouse remotely from the US, Rina moved heaven and earth for us to coordinate contractors, appliance deliveries, and the like to ensure our home showed in the best possible light.....and the offers received were a direct reflection of her incredible effort. We can't recommend Rina highly enough - thank you, Rina, for your incredible focus, determination and honesty!! Your guidance has put us into the home of our dreams! -Jason and Andrea DeLong

  • It is our absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to recommend Rina Brown, a truly exceptional realtor. It is rare these days to find a person with impeccable work ethic and honesty, someone who possesses a sincere desire to strive and deliver exactly what her clients are searching for. She provides the highest quality of service, is extremely well-informed of the real estate industry as a whole, and has remarkable knowledge of the North Vancouver market. During our extensive and somewhat frustrating search, Rina diligently pursued to present us with endless opportunities, always maintaining an enthusiastic approach. She was always available by phone or email to answer any questions we had, at any time of the day. When we did decide to present an offer, Rina was extraordinary in her efforts, negotiating between all parties, all the while maintaining focus to ensure our best interest. Even after the offer was accepted, Rina continued to be available any time we had any questions, or problems with the process. We found Rina to be a delight to work with and a professional in every sense of the word. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to purchase a new home. Adam and Celine Downie

  • From start to finish, you earned our confidence that we were in highly capable and ethical hands. You demonstrated it is possible to be both sensitive and empathetic, as you anticipated our questions and concerns, while being tenacious and charmingly hard-nosed in protecting and promoting our interests. You were accessible every step of the way and assured us that no question was not worth asking. We gained new insight and respect into what it takes to be an effective realtor and we have no hesitation in recommending you as tops in your game.

    - Kevin & Ronnaug Evans
  • Alex and I greatly appreciate all of your support during the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home. It is a stressful process that was made easier through your advice and expertise. We really felt that we had someone we could trust to provide us with impartial advice and to advocate on our behalf. We would not hesitate to recommend your service to friends and family. We enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best.

    - Alex Legg & Susan Boyd
  • Working with Rina we found her to be very knowledgeable, hardworking and dedicated. Anything we asked Rina to research or investigate, she reacted very quickly and always had the correct information. If I was buying or selling a home I would definitely engage her again. Rina is one of the best I've ever worked with in Vancouver. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to others. Dave

    - Dave & Susan
  • Hello Rina, We want to give you a written testimonial to express our appreciation for your hard work in helping us to sell our condo. We were referred to you through a friend. Since our initial phone conversation you have met every commitment made to us with a prompt, courteous, sensitive and professional manner. Your counsel was accurate and very much appreciated. Our experience from the moment we signed our property with you to the completion has been a very positive experience for us. Thank you for being a trusted advisor and a lovely person. Best Regards, Glen and Janice Mitchell

  • Dear Rina, Where do I begin......The first time I met you was as my brother's realtor, he had so many good things to say about you and I thought, wow, what a nice person, I really like her. I'm going to ask her to be my realtor!!! Rina, I want you to know you've exceeded every expectation I've ever had of any realtor!! You went above and beyond every step of the way. Your professionalism, tactics, suggestions, ideas, thoughts, confidence, caring, selflessness was incredible and these are just minimal words to describe you. You were able to sell my place at a price that I was more than ecstatic about and in such a short time! On top of that, you were able to find me my "perfect" place that even I could afford comfortably. I am so, so, so happy!!! Through this whole process, I've really gotten to know you, we've shared so many stories and a ton of laughs, you have truly become an amazing friend. I've told ALL my family, friends and co-workers about how wonderful you are and I will always treasure the bond that we share. Thank you so much. Your friend always, Nancy

    - Nancy Taylor
  • Dear Rina, A heartfelt thank you for the amazing job you did in selling our home in a difficult market (last house sold at a strong price in the area). We would not be living in our beautiful new home without your professional commitment to both the sale of our home and the purchase of the new one. An outstanding methodical effort with the predictable result! Starting with the most comprehensive low pressure proposal we had received to in the end feeling for that for the first time our realtor had worked hard "exclusively" in my best interest. From my considerable experience, your personal standard and commitment to your clients is a rare quality in your industry. You earned, and were worth, every penny of your commission especially given you probably saved us one or two hundred thousand in all. Wishing you a well-deserved busy year in 2013! Greig Cameron and family

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Rina on 3 real estate deals now. My first condo purchase, the sale of the same condo and now my wife and I have just purchased our first house with Rina. I can't say enough about the hard work and sincerity that Rina displays as a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the north shore real estate market and this was instrumental in the recent purchase of our house at what we feel is a very fair price. Rina was available at any time for us and guided us through a very quick purchase process which allowed us to head off on our vacation with minds at ease! Add to this that Rina is just a great person and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home. Rina, thank you for everything! Kristian and Sarah

    - Kristian & Sarah Von Fersen
  • We interviewed several real estate agents prior to meeting with Rina Brown. What struck us, was how sincere Rina was. She said that "I will work really hard to sell this apartment." We believed her and in the coming weeks she proved herself. We felt like Rina focused all of her efforts on selling our apartment and we were her #1. We were kept well informed of the results of the open houses, updated before and after each private showing and her communication and attention to detail was fantastic. We greatly appreciated being "kept in the loop". At the very start Rina did a significant amount of research of other apartments that were listed in the area; what ones had sold and ones that hadn't, how other suited compared etc. Rina's pricing direction was right on. At the time we listed the market was very quiet, so it was imperative that our pricing be accurate. It was through Rina's efforts that the suite sold in 3 weeks at the price we wanted. I will certainly recommend Rina Brown to any of my friends.....

    - Brian Ballard
  • I just wanted to say a big Thank You for all you did to make the sale of Mom's condo as easy and painless as possible. I am so glad we met, from the very first moment I felt completely confident in you and I knew we were in good hands. Your guidance in the pricing of the condo was excellent and obviously was right on, as it sold so quickly at a time when the market was very quiet. The final closing went so smoothly and it was a pleasure to come home from our little holiday and everything was done and it all was behind us. Rina again thank you for all you did it was most appreciated. I would not hesitate to pass on your name to anyone who might be looking for a realtor. The very best to you!! Kindest regards, Doreen Marbry

    - Doreen Marbry
  • As my realtor, Rina kept me focused on my objectives. We looked at close to 50 condominiums over 4 months, and with Rina's candid, constructive feedback, along with her fact-based quantitative analyses, I was able to complete the purchase of my condominium with confidence regarding the price I paid, the location selected, and the construction of the unit. At no time during my search did I feel pressured by Rina to make an offer. She really holds her client's needs paramount.

    - Carla Mauro
  • Dear Rina, David and I would like to extend to you our sincere gratitude for the excellent job you did in selling our family home. From the moment we met you we were impressed by your professionalism, work ethic, and dedication to us in selling our house. You also demonstrated good people skills and were sensitive to family preferences and feelings towards the family home of 43 years. We appreciated your fair market analysis, and ability to accurately price the house to sell quickly in the market at the time. You were also consistently professional by always being on time, polite, respectful, ethical, and hardworking. David and i have every confidence in your abilities and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their home. Warmest Regards,

    - Ben and David English
  • We gave ourselves a very short time to locate a property in Ladner or Tsawwassen within our budget and Rina upon engagement, became quickly a member of our purchasing team. Her commitment quickly showed that she wanted only the best for us. She followed strictly our directions and also included her vast experience and knowledge about the market and potential future buyers and gently guided us through a complicated mechanism of purchasing a property. She was available all the time during the whole week and responded immediately or within minutes from our call. Rina is quite well connected with all other professionals you need during the process of a property purchasing, so you are never left alone and confused. We could not get a better and more trustworthy realtor

    - Mileta & Patty
  • Hi Rina, Thank you so much for all your hard work selling our challenged house and getting us in where we wanted to be. We are so grateful for your expertise in pricing our house just right and getting it sold in days. You gave us excellent advice and now that we have seen how long some houses have been on the market we are even more grateful! Then, you went out of your way to canvas the area we wanted to be in and we cannot believe the amount of work you went to encouraging and teaching the new young realtor who listed our new home. He was very lucky that you were so kind to him. Your commitment to making it happen for us is so appreciated. You took our panicked phone calls that we would never find a place and you were so right that everything would fall into place. It has!! We will recommend you to anyone we know who is selling or buying. You are awesome!! Thank you!!

    - Heather and Alistair Peacock
  • Hi Rina. Iain and I would like to thank you for your commitment and perseverance assisting us to find our first home in Canada. Once we found the perfect place, your attention to detail and constant communications made it the easiest house purchase and stress free move we have ever experienced. Thank you so much, a very happy Webley family.

  • Hi Rina, I have been wanting to write this message for a few weeks now, but like always, there never seems to be enough time to balance work and children with anything left over for all the other important things. Waking up this morning in the new apartment for the first time has made me sit down and write this overdue and extremely necessary thank you. We were recommended to speak to you through a personal friend and both Marian and I felt that the whole frustrating experience of understanding the condo market, and realestate in general, in a new city was made so much easier with you. The expert, detailed advice, the time and patience you gave us, your frequent trips to the ferry and your personal touch during the anti-social hours we called upon your services not only helped us hang in there, but also helped us find a superb apartment exactly where we wanted to be. We understand that relationships are an essential part of business, but the genuine kindness and enthusiasm that you brought to the process were more than just business and they were greatly appreciated. Thank you again Rina, you will be our first port of call next time we venture into the market here. Regards Ian and Marian

    - Ian & Marian
  • Dear Rina Before anymore time slips away, I just want to write and say thank you for persevering and successfully selling my townhouse. I admired your professionalism throughout the four months, your positive attitude, tenacity and endless pursuit and follow up with potential buyers. I appreciated your organizational skills, market analysis, marketing plan and thoroughness with documentation. I feel very fortunate and blessed to have had you as my real estate agent. Thank you for doing such a good job. May you never have to deal with such a difficult sale again! Warmest regards, Dena.

    - Dena Gartner
  • Like many first time home buyers, I was somewhat daunted by the process of looking for and buying a home. Rina's patience, her indepth knowledge of all things real estate on the North Shore, her sense of humor when it most mattered, and her commitment to helping me find the right place made it all possible. Rina thank you, you made a stressful process manageable, I love my new home! I will continue to recommend you to anyone I know who is "looking"!

    - Mary Gillespie
  • I just sold my condo in Coquitlam and this is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Rina Brown. I could not recommend higher any realtor in the Lower Mainland. She takes care of everything and makes selling or buying as hassle and stress free as possible. I trust her implicitly and would never consider using anyone else. She has become a true friend.

    - Elaine Arthur
  • Rina, Janet and I would like to thank you for all the hard work you have done, to sell us the right condo. You really have exceeded our expectations. No one could expect an agent to persevere like you did over a whole year. You were thorough, prompt and always had our best interests at heart. All the best,

    - Craig Harris
  • We love the house and are so grateful to both you and Carol for your intuition, hard work and thoughtfulness which we often felt was above and beyond the call of duty! We know that it must have been incredibly nerve-wracking for you knowing that we that we wouldn't get a chance to see the house (imagine how it felt for us!) but you made us feel safe and secure that we were making the right decision - you were right! Being in France brought in new elements including time difference but you were always available and guided us through the whole, unknown process with professionalism, patience and understanding. Also Rina, your kindness and consideration, knowing that I was going to be in a new country with young children and all the factors that brings with it, has been so comforting. I feel as though I have made a friend! We feel incredibly lucky that we found you and would have no hesitation using you in the future or recommending you. With our very best wishes,

    - Gary, Tisha, Charlie & Millie Bryant
  • Thanks again to you and Carol for working so hard for us these past few weeks, and for making things run so smoothly. I don't think we could have asked for a better outcome. We noticed and were impressed by many things, some big, some small, in the way you handled the process. From your confident and calm presence, punctuality, presentation (appraisal, photos, staging, sign post), scheduling and communications, to the challenging dual agent situation, all was very professional. We are already recommending you!

    - Gavin and Sabine
  • John and I would like you to know how much we appreciated the great care and attention you gave to selling our house. After 25 years, it was a big step for us to take and you both helped to make it as easy as possible. We were amazed at your predictions which turned out to be so accurate and by the way, we are still amazed! We both feel we really were extremely lucky to have had such a quick sale but more so to have chosen you as our realtors, who made it all happen. Many thanks.

    - Janet and John
  • Sitting at our dining room table on Monday evening was a great experience for me to understand the quality aspects that some agents possess and others don't. It was clear to me at that point, and upon reflection of the process of putting in an offer on our house on St. Georges, that we were working with agents who were definitely in the upper echelon of experience, professionalism and quality. We are most grateful for your assistance and professionalism through this entire experience. Once again, we appreciate your help.

    - Malcolm and Cecilia
  • We sincerely appreciate your dedicated efforts in making our dream home a reality and wish you all the best in your career. You were efficient, honest and trustworthy and we feel extremely fortunate to have met you.

  • Rina spent months emailing us details and showing us properties without ever loosing enthusiasm. I'm sure she wondered if we would ever find anything we loved. When we finally found the perfect house we were looking for, Rina went into over drive. If it wasn't for her pace and professionalism, I'm sure we could have lost the house. The sale of the house wasn't where her job ended. She guided us through the whole process, always at the end of the phone to answer our questions and to give us advice. It is said that buying a house and moving are one of the most stressful things in life in which we will encounter. Rina made it so easy for us. We would definitely ask for Rina's help again, if and when we decide to take the plunge again and get back into the housing market. Thank you Rina. You're the best! Richard and Helen

Your hard work, enthusiasm, and thorough attention to detail were most appreciated. In addition, you were always pleasant and friendly- we felt that you were genuinely interested in us and our decision to buy a home which best suited our needs and price range.

  • Thank-you for making our first home buying experience such a positive one! You were a recommendation from a friend, and from the first moment we felt we were in good hands. While trepidacious at first, our initial evaluation meeting with you made us feel that this was an adventure we could easily embark upon. The process was overwhelmingly smooth, as you always kept us one step ahead of the game. We appreciated your proactive approach to problem solving. And you always ensured that we felt certain and comfortable with each decision that needed to be made. Without a doubt your service exceeded our expectations. We appreciate your continued support. Have no doubt that we have already recommended you to our friends. We look forward to doing business with you in the future.

  • Dear Rina You are just the kind of person everyone dreams of when you sell their home. You listen, you are warm and kind and you don't push! Thank you so much for your hard diligent work and your expertise. All the best.

  • Rina has boundless energy for a job that I think is very difficult - dealing with people. She's always up on market trends and very canny about how to get the best deal for her client. I have dealt with various realtors in the distant past, and had become a bit jaded, but she dispelled all that through her honesty, intelligence and genuine friendliness. I felt supported and able to trust that she was on my side through the entire process and beyond. You won't go wrong by using Rina as your realtor because she'll go that extra mile (or ten) to help you get to where you want to be without pressure, with infinite patience, and with a dash of good humour.

  • As a first-time homebuyer, I was extremely intimidated about taking the plunge. I met Rina through a referral from a friend. He said Rina went above and beyond the call of duty, especially to help first-time buyers. From the first time I spoke to Rina over the telelphone until we finalized the deal, I can honestly say I felt like I was in safe hands. In fact, she held my hand through the whole process. And even when it was complete, she's stayed in touch to make sure the move has been a memorable journey. I recommend Rina without hesitation.

  • Dear Rina, I wanted to thank you so much for your "over-and-beyond" assistance in finding me the perfect condo. As a first time buyer I was so nervous about taking the leap but you were always so encouraging and enthusiastic whenever I needed your help. Your wonderful sense of humour made the stress of finding the right home for the right price so much easier! I could never have done any of this without your expertise and support. As soon as I met you Rina I knew you were someone I could trust. I have already recommmended you to friends. Thank you again. Elaine Arthur, First time buyer.

  • As first time home buyers, we were fortunate to have had Rina on our side. Our buying experience was successful and a pleasant one. Rina helped us with every step along the way. During the two months of our search, she never lost her enthusiasm and professionalism. We especially appreciated that all our questions were answered timely, and never felt rushed into making a decision. To sum it up, Rina is resourceful, professional and very enthusiastic. As a result, we now have a home we love! Thank You Rina.

  • As a first time buyer I had so many questions. I needed a realtor whose expertise and honesty I could trust. I chose Rina Brown. Rina's friendly and enthusiastic approach helped make the buying process easy and enjoyable.

  • Friendly and sharp are the two words we would use to describe Rina Brown. As first time home buyers, Rina empowered us to make an educated decision on the purchase of our new property. Not only did Rina take in consideration all of our personal factors, she went the extra mile to make us comfortable with the whole decision making process. Smiling, charismatic and very upfront, she does not beat around the bush. When we did purchase our new home, we were elated that we got such a good deal. Our dream of owning a home with everything we ever wanted has come true. Anybody who is in the market looking to make an investment in real estate should DEFINITELY CONTACT Rina Brown! Thank you Rina,

  • During our recent purchase of a new house we were very lucky to come across Rina Brown at an open house. We took an instant liking to her due to her attitude and knowledge of the market. She explained to us exactly how the property market worked, as we were first time buyers in Canada. We explained we were in no hurry and were getting a feel for the market. Rina followed up with us on a regular basis with new listings and was always willing and able to answer our questions. The day we decided to enter the market in earnest, the choice of a realtor was simple, as Rina had already done a lot of work for us and never given up on us. Nor did she loose interest like most realtors when they found out we were not ready to buy. We did not make things easy for her as the market was very quiet and we wanted a house in a certain area and certain price range. Rina sprung into action and was at our beck and call all hours of the day and night. Sending us listings as they came available and setting up appointments to view. For each house we viewed, Rina had done extensive research of other properties sold in the area. On viewing, Rina would help by pointing out all the good points as well as the bad and give us the realistic price. It was only because of Rina's efficiency, that within a couple of minutes of a house coming onto the market, she had an appointment scheduled for later that day. We were the first ones to view and it was exactly what we were looking for. We told Rina we would like to put in an offer. By this time Rina knew us so well and was so confident that it was what we were looking for, that she had prepared the paperwork in advance and all that remained was to fill in the amount of the offer. Rina was also armed with all her research. She worked till 11pm that night running back and forth to close the deal. If it was not for Rina's efficiency, we would not have got the house, as there was so much interest in it due to the fact that it was realistically priced. Not like others that were overpriced due to the lack of listings at the time. Rina's job did not stop there. She ran after us with documents and lists of lawyers movers, painters etc. We engaged a Realtor and landed up with a friend. If you are looking for a realtor that has your interest at heart and does not just want to make a quick buck and run, look no further, you have found her.
