Testimonials

From Vancouver Happy Clients:

While the recognition Tina has received from the real estate industry is a testimony of her professionalism, it is her clients that speak most highly of her.

"The home I wanted to buy was the perfect choice for me. However, there were substantial legal problems with the owner that included bankruptcy and court ordered foreclosure. Other agents I spoke with were not familiar in dealing with these complications. Ms. Mak guided me through the process of purchasing this home with skill. She also made a sustained effort to obtain the best deal possible. As a result, I now own a home which I believe is valued well above the price I paid for it. I have recommended Ms. Mak to friends and associates, and would not hesitate to do so again. Ms. Mak is a knowledgeable agent and a credit to her profession."

"We were interested in purchasing an apartment in the Yaletown Concord Pacific area of downtown Vancouver. Our key requirement was that it had to look over the False Creek waterway. We had at least six real estate agents looking for us and eventually created a short list of acceptable properties. Tina Mak showed enthusiasm, kept our needs in mind, and was always available whenever we needed answers to our questions. Thus, we had Tina close the deal for us with the listing agent. Tina's attention to detail and her extraordinary knowledge helped us in areas of the contract that needed clarification such as the inclusion of parking stalls and storage lockers. We will definitely retain Tina Mak for our future property investments and purchases."

We have been in the Vancouver housing market almost 25 years, ever since we began looking for our first home shortly after getting married.  Since then, we’ve moved on average every 5-7 years and have dealt with a number of different real estate agents.  Before we met Tina, we had been involved in a few transactions where we were left feeling that the sale was more important than our ultimate well being.  But with Tina, we always feel that our best interests are at heart.

Finding a real estate agent who can understand a client’s needs and translate them into reality is not easy.  Tina’s dedication and energy coupled with her professionalism and astute knowledge of the market makes her more than just competent.  She has always given sound, reasonable advice and we would not hesitate to highly recommend her to family and friends."

From Relocation Happy Clients: 

"I searched the internet for a condominium in Vancouver, British Columbia and received information from twelve real estate agents (one of which was Ms. Tina Mak). Tina went the extra mile to accommodate my needs. She had the uncanny ability to grasp exactly what I was looking for and knew where to find it. Being new to the Vancouver area, Tina helped me gain a better understanding of local laws and customs and advised me on locations that would make better investments for future resale. As a result of Tina's efforts, I now own a home with a beautiful view of the water. Because the view was important to me, Tina found me a condominium that restricted future building so I don't have to worry about losing my view. I am very fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with Tina Mak and I am looking forward to doing additional business with her."

"We have been very fortunate to be able to work with Tina Mak in finding our Home.  In December 2004, I was transferred to British Columbia from ONtario.  While attempting to sell our house in ONtario, my relative whoe works with Coldwell BAnkers arranged a meeting for me with a "very energetcci and professional" real estate agent from BC.  Tina proved to be a very conscientious, professional, and skilled agent, who really focused on our wants and needs (plus we have two dogs).  Tina spent more than a year helping us find our Home.  She and her support staff were in constant communications with us via email, searching properties, on the Web, and taking us from Richmond, to Burnaby, to New Westminster.  Finally we found the place we wanted.  Tina reviewd the decision with us, talked about the area, future development opportunities, and re-sale opportunities. 

We have purchased homes in Prince Edward Island, Ontario, and now British Columbia.  Tina is hands down the most efficient and effective agent we have had t he pleasure to work with!

We look forward to working with her again in the future.

"Tina is by far the most professional agent my wife and I have ever dealt with, and her negotiation skills are top notch. Tina takes the time to define your wants and needs, and you will never feel like she just wants a sale above anything else. We started working with Tina in August of 2008 when we were still in residing in Toronto, and over the course of the next year she showed us about 40 homes in the areas we liked. When our dream home came onto the market, Tina represented us during the nerve-wracking bidding war, and we used her advice to make the best possible offer within our budget. What a relief when our offer was accepted. We recommend Tina to anyone who is looking for an agent to help with a purchase or sale and wanted the straight goods."
