Dave and Linda Pedersen, Calgary, AB May-2012
"Thank you for your guidance through this whole process. In all the home (10) and recreational (8) buy/sell transactions we have been involved in over the years none have even come close to the thoroughness, professionalism and customer focus you have provided. I have been VERY impressed."
Nadyia Fry and Jakub Sumbera, Invermere, BC Mar-2012
"Thanks Kim! We thought we may never be ready to take the big step in purchasing our first home, but with your help we did it! Although we weren't very committed to buying, you thoughtfully and patiently contacted us with new properties and took time to understand our needs and interests. Throughout the process you offered enough advice for us to recognize the next steps, but also gave us space to make choices on our own. You are obviously an expert and professional in the real estate business and come highly recommended by both Jakub and I. THANK YOU!"
Doug and Marg Croteau, Calgary,AB Nov-2011
"Finding a good realtor with expertise, knowledge and a commitment to their client can be a challenge for many customers. We found that person in Kim Collens who we had the pleasure of working with on two occasions. When we first started to look for a recreational property in the Valley, we ended up purchasing one of Kim's listings. Several years later when we decided to sell, we had no hesitation to call Kim and list with Royal LePage Rockies West Realty. She is a professional realtor who is dedicated , extremely knowledgeable about the market, and most important, very honest with her clients about what it will take to market your home in a reasonable time frame. We were most impressed with Kim's ability to get the transaction closed , considering we were several thousand miles away on vacation. In spite of the obvious difficulties that arise from that situation, she persevered with an outcome satisfactory to us and the buyer. We highly recommend Kim Collens if you are looking to purchase real estate in the Valley, or are wanting to sell your residence, even in down market conditions."
Brian and Vicky Stooke, Calgary,AB Nov-2011
"My husband and I used Kim as our agent in the spring of 2011 to sell our place in Radium. I can't thank Kim enough for all of her hard work and dedication in selling our place. She is an expert in her field and knows the market in the valley very well. Without her, I really don't think our place would have sold in such a volatile real estate environment. It was an absolute pleasure working with Kim and I would recommend her as an agent to anyone that is purchasing or selling in the valley. "
Rick and Carolyn Kurtz, Ontario Jul-2011
"First of all thank you for everything you did in helping us find our new home in Invermere. We are loving it here! We were both really impressed with the level of service you provided when viewing homes, and once the deal was signed continued help us with any and all inquiries we had. Purchasing a home from the other side of the country was daunting but you were very patient in showing us many homes in the short window of time we had. When we were back in Ontario dealing with all the paperwork for the purchase, you were always one step ahead and provided us with everything we needed without overwhelming us. You had great lists of contacts for every service imaginable with multiple options. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone selling or purchasing. Kim is very personable and we have found her to be the best real estate agent we have had the pleasure of dealing with. "
Laurie and Bill Csokonay, Calgary, AB Jul-2011
"Kim, we can’t find enough compliments to say how much we appreciated your hard work and persistence in selling our Fairmont property for us. As you are aware, on a background of our need to deal with a major health issue, you were sensitive to what we were going through, gave us the advice and feedback we needed along the way, and kept us true to the purpose at hand through it all. Your ongoing communication with us has been superb, and we felt like you were not only our real estate representative, but a friend as well. We would highly recommend your services to anyone either looking to buy or to sell property in the Valley. There are many real estate agents with the basic skills, but there are few with both business skills and real people skills. Thanks again for everything, five stars out of five! "
John and Angela, Calgary, AB May-2011
"Thank you so much for your professionalism and advice throughout the whole transaction. We look forward to seeing you out in the valley this summer,perhaps for a glass of wine on our deck in the new house. In the mean time, enjoy the lovely weather. "
Noreen Mar-2011
"Just received the Valley Echo today and made the Scallion Cheddar Popovers. They were great. Will go into my collection. "
Doug and Kelly Way, Calgary, AB Feb-2011
"We would like to say thank you for helping us purchase our vacation property in Columere Park. We spent a wonderful summer there. The kids and I stayed right through and it was absolutely perfect, exactly what we imagined our cabin to be. We couldn't have enjoyed our cabin without your help and guidance and patience! So thank you for everything, we are very grateful. To finish off the year, we will be spending Christmas and New Years in the valley as well ... the first of many!"
Graeme Finlay and Carlotta Carr, Calgary, AB Oct-2010
"Kim was a tremendous help for us during our recent purchase of our recreation property in Windermere B.C. Kim not only helped us to navigate the purchase, she made sure that our new place was ready for us to enjoy. She is thorough and thoughtful and her expertise is second-to-none. She went above and beyond to make our experience remarkable – she truly exceeded our expectations. We will certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor."
Sparla and Kelly McCann, Calgary, AB Sep-2010
"Kim WOW! I want to thank you so very much for all your hard work you did with the sale of our condo in Radium. Your professionalism, caring and outstanding service was above and beyond what anyone would expect. Kelly and I will definately recommend you to others. We appreciate all you did Kim, Thank you and we wish you all the very best in the future."
Lisa and Al Tenta, Dawson Creek, BC Sep-2010
"Kim – we want to sincerely thank you for the excellent service you provided us with the purchase of our family home here in Invermere. Your professionalism and flexibility were greatly appreciated. You instilled confidence by providing prompt responses to all our inquiries. It is without hesitation that we would recommend you as the realtor of choice!
Thanks again for all your help, Al and I were remembering how patient you were with us ...the kids....and the dog:) We truly do love our home - the view is spectacular ... Invermere really does feel like home. Al wants me to say 'Have an ultra fantastic spectacular sun shiney weekend!!' Take care."
Angela and Robert Wigand, Calgary, AB Jun-2010
"First, I just want you to know how much it meant to us that you took the time to show us around since I knew absolutely nothing about the area, you were so patient with our questions and never once made us feel like we were wasting your time. For that I will be forever grateful. This is the first time I have ever been involved in buying a home so it was probably more sentimental for me and you never made me feel silly anytime during the whole process. Thanks again for everything you have done. You could not have made this experience any better"
Janay Ferguson and Mario Siciliano, Calgary, AB May-2010
"We recently worked with Kim to purchase our Windermere ‘retreat’ and are very pleased with the service we received. Kim’s breadth of experience and real estate expertise was a tremendous asset in helping us navigate the market and the process. We really appreciated her professionalism, flexibility and attention to detail. Overall, it was a great experience and we will gladly recommend Kim to anyone who asks! "
Edna & Earl Tunheim, Calgary, AB May-2010
"Many thanks for your professionalism in the sale of our condo and for showing us so many properties ... decisions, decisions. We'll certainly miss Fairmont."
Brenda Berezuk, Calgary, AB Apr-2010
"Kim, I sincerely appreciate the huge role you played in my purchase of a wonderful condo in Radium Hot Springs. From the moment we met to the day I took possession I felt that we were on the same page. You offered valuable comments for me to consider and you brought things to my attention that I may not have noticed. I valued your comments and your integrity as a realtor. It gave me the confidence to make the decision to purchase. I also appreciated the little things you followed up on for me post sale, specifically my questions about housekeeping and maintenance services. This was truly valued given the timeline I had for getting everything organized. There’s no question in my mind as to your success, you put your clients first, you know the area market, and you have outstanding people and organizational skills. Best wishes for your continued success!!"
Terry & Sherry Barnes, Calgary, AB Apr-2010
"We just wanted to send our Thanks for looking after the sale of our place. We appreciate all your hard work in such a questionable market. We are glad to see things finally picking up again out there and hope you have a great year ahead. Sorry it has been so busy, but we did not want your efforts to go without notice. Thanks again for everything."
Jane Hansen & Doug Stollery, Victoria, BC Mar-2010
"Hello, Kim! I just got back to Victoria after 12 days of work and what a nice surprise! Both Doug and I would like to thank you for the gift card to Beacon Landing. It is one of our favorite places to enjoy a meal and it has a great view. You certainly didn't have to do that, but we will toast you when we are there! It was also a pleasure working with you! You helped us make a difficult situation (selling from a distance!) an easy experience. If anyone asks us for the name of a Columbia Valley realtor, we will certainly recommend you! You did a great job for us and we thank you. Hope you have a great summer and help people sell and buy lots of houses! Thanks again!"
Karen & Kevin Campion, Calgary, AB Sep-2009
"We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your efforts with our condo purchase in Fairmont. Although, we had a few hick-ups along the way, we were very impressed with your flexibility and creative solutions. Your professionalism and market knowledge are second to none, making you our first choice for any future transactions in the valley. We would highly recommend you to anyone interested in purchasing property in the valley."
Maureen Cyster, Edmonton, AB Sep-2009
"This email is a token of my thanks to realtor, Kim Collens, for the wonderful job she did throughout the process of purchasing my vacation home in BC. Because I live in Edmonton and wasn`t able to go to BC to make the offer in person or to hand her a cheque for the deposit, Kim was able to work around these and other logistic problems. She supplied me with a number of BC lawyers` names and email addresses to choose from as well as a list of telephone numbers for the appropriate utility companies. She informed me of the BC land tax transfer rate before I made an offer, as she knew that Albertans do not pay such high rates and/or are unaware of it. My purchase went through smoothly and on time largely due to Kim`s great organizational skills. Thanks Kim!"
Heidi Johnson, Windermere, BC Sep-2009
"Hi Kim, Just want to thank you for your excellent service. I appreciated your attention to detail and willingness to change things as needed. It was a pleasure working with you and would definitely call on you again if I needed more realestate services. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who would ask. Take care and enjoy the winter wonderland!"
Houman Mahallati & Drina Lazar, Calgary, AB Sep-2009
"Thank you for all your help to our family as we embarked on the purchase of our Windermere Condo. From the very first encounter it was clear that you were extremely knowledgeable, very professional, efficient, and honest. Your integrity and efficiency made it very easy to do business remotely. At no point did we worry that some aspect of the deal would be delayed because we were not physically present.
Not only did you represent us well, but you identified and looked after issues that we wouldn't have known about. You diligently looked after every step from showing us the property, to closing the deal.
However, the story doesn't end there. Even though the deal has long closed, you continue to help us with finding trades and getting the finishing touches completed. In this regard, you act more like a friend of the family than someone who closed a deal and moved on to the next. We can't thank you enough. "
Alfred & Diane Schieman, Kelowna, BC Sep-2009
"Kim,we would like to thank you sincerely for the outstanding job you did in selling our cabin in Fairmont.We were surprised and impressed at how quickly the cabin sold especially in the current marketplace.We would also like to thank you for your help in disposing of various items which saved us having to make several trips to the area.Thanks again,Kim"
Kyla Therrien & Kurt Belich, Red Deer, AB Sep-2009
"We chose Kim to represent us in the sale of our condo based on the testimonials on her website. We were very pleased with our experience and it helped that she was very knowledgeable about the condo market in the area. She was always positive and encouraged us to persevere the current market conditions. She is persistent, organized, efficient and communicated with us every step of the way."
Kevin & Celeste Yano, Calgary, AB Aug-2009
"Thank you very much for your great work in getting our Fairmont condo sold in a short period of time. In a difficult market that is not an easy thing to do! It was a pleasure to work with you and we very much appreciate how you kept us informed every step of the way. You provided great service and your honesty and expert advice were most valuable. In summary, we would not hesitate to recommend you to any other buyers or sellers. Best wishes for continued success!"
Eva & Neil Barrett, Calgary, AB Jun-2009
"Just want to say thank you so much for your assistance with our purchase. You were very organized, professional and so easy to work with. We truly appreciated your efforts and your genuine personality."
Don & Jayne Schafer, Calgary, AB Jun-2009
"We recently listed our condo in Radium with Kim Collens and were very happy with every aspect of the experience. She was very knowledgeable about the market in the area and helped us determine the best price to sell our condo in a timely manner. When we sold our property, she took care of all the details and handled all of the paperwork efficiently and quickly. We have a lot of confidence in her abilities and have recently recommended her services to our friends who are thinking about selling their place in the valley. She gets the job done!"
Sheryle & Richard Verkley, Charlottetown, PEI May-2009
"Thank you so much for the outstanding job in selling our Radium condo. After having it on the market with another realtor for almost a year, you came in and had multiple showings within days of listing. We also very much appreciated your frank assessment of a difficult market; your comments enabled us to appropriately price our home and sell it. I highly recommend you to anyone I know looking to buy or sell in the Valley!"
Bev & Marko Shehovac, Radium Hot Springs, BC May-2009
"Wow! what a busy few weeks we have had! But we are slowly getting into a routine and settled into our new home. Our thanks to you for helping us find just the right place for our needs. We sincerely think we made the right choice. Thank you too for your bag of helpful items - all being put to good use. And what a delight to find a gift certificate in your card - we have been to N'Deco and know we will have no problem using it since they have a wonderful stock to choose from. It has been great working with you Kim and we look forward to seeing you around town."
Bevan & Heather Olson, Medicine Hat, AB Sep-2008
"Thank you so much for all your help in selling our home in Fairmont. It has been a pleasure working with you and your staff. We have taken our time getting settled in Medicine Hat and just enjoyed your evening out at the Beefeater this weekend ... it was wonderful! Thanks so much for all, we will keep in touch"
Darla & Tom Spiry, Invermere, BC Sep-2008
"You are receiving this e-mail today to let you know that your Recipe section in the Valley Echo Newspaper is GREAT! Each week, I look forward to reading your most recent recipe. (I don't look at them all at once, it is more fun this way.) You had a recipe in the summer for a Spinach Salad that I tried with our family BBQ. It was a huge success, and many family members asked where I got the recipe. I told them from your column in the newspaper. My husband is one of 11 children, and he has a big family with lots of sisters(and brothers who cook, too). Anyway, thank you for adding your recipes to the column. I realize your main purpose is for real estate sales, but your recipes are wonderful!" [see all of my recipes]
Dave & Cheryl Stewart, Calgary, AB Aug-2008
"We can’t thank-you enough for everything that you have done helping us with this purchase of our new home in Panorama. While we had been actively looking in the area for a number of years, you were the first Realtor to take the initiative to fully understand our needs and seek out the perfect property. Without your initiative, it is highly unlikely we would have found the property that we ultimately purchased.
As you know this was our first after market real estate transaction and we were amazed with the level of detail you provided us throughout the process and the extent to which you took responsibility for all aspects of the deal. It turned out to be a rather non-standard transaction, and we were reassured throughout the negotiation that you were always representing our best interests. We really felt that you went above and beyond for us and can’t thank-you enough. You never hesitated to look after all the details; we don’t believe it is common for an agent to assist with finding cleaners, being willing to meet contractors on site and to phone satellite providers to understand transfer issues.
While we continue to enjoy our new cabin and share it with family and friends we hope that others will consider buying a property in the area and we will be sure to send them your way!"
Sandy Murphy & Margaret Cunningham, Calgary, AB Aug-2008
"I was quite impressed by how easy you made it to purchase a house from a distance. Your recommendations on items to consider throughout the process were much appreciated and contributed to a very smooth process from my end of things. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to friends who are considering a home purchase in your area."
Guy & Linda Fiset, Calgary, AB May-2008
"Dealing with Kim and the Rockies West Team provided us with the confidence that we needed regarding the sale of our home in Radium in early 2008. Kim was attentive in listening to what our expectations were while being a realist by providing us with a complete and concise Market Analysis. The photos and advertisement of the Rockies West Website provided potential buyers with all of the necessary information for making the right choice. The Sale Process was clearly outlined and explained in great detail resulting in professional results. Would we use Kim and her Team again? In a heartbeat; this is the 5th home which we have sold and I can honestly say that this was by far the most enjoyable experience we have had with any realty firm we have dealt with."
Mark Nolin, Calgary, AB May-2008
"Our experience with Kim Collens was one of the most professional real estate transactions that I have every had the experience to participate in. The professional pictures, the marketing, the sales process and the attention to detail during the closing produced a smooth tranaction and ultimately a worry free sale. "
Sharon & Murray Trusler, Moose Factory, ON Mar-2008
"Murray and I wish to thank you for your excellent service and the successful sale of our chalet, La Suisse. We sincerely appreciate all your efforts and those of Tracy, your assistant. We hope you and Wayne will be able to enjoy the enclosed Storm Mountain gift certificate on one of your trips to Calgary. Many thanks for your good guidance and understanding of how to sell La Suisse. With much appreciation as always."
John and Janet Thomas, Edmonton, AB Feb-2008
"When we decided to sell our condo, we were faced with two decisions:
• How much was it worth?
• Who would do the best job of selling it?
In spite of having owned our condo for many years, and having been in the valley regularly, we, like other visitors had very little experience with valley realtors. We did, however, realize that the market for our condo would likely be in Alberta. We looked for a realtor who invests in marketing where the buyers are……..not someone who sticks up a sign and waits for buyers. The number of “Kim Collens for sale” signs convinced us that Kim is serious about her work. More importantly, Internet searches repeatedly directed us to Kim’s superior website. Kim was responsive, knowledgeable and well researched when she met us to help develop a selling price. All sales material was ready and in place without delay. Thanks again for your help Kim. "
Janice and Chris Sheedy, Calgary, AB Nov-2007
"You have made our purchase in Radium a very pleasant experience. Everything went very smoothly. You are very efficient, knowledgeable, and personable. Your assistant Tracy was very helpful as well. We would highly recommend you to others."
Ralph and Yvonne Jans, Edgewater, AB Oct-2007
"Hello Kim, sorry for beaing so slow, but that is what happens here in Mexico. We would like to thank you for the gift we received it was spent on small appliances for our new Casa. When we listed we thought it would be sold in no time and when that did not happen you kept our spirit up, we felt you represented us to the max, specially the last offer we got. Without you I don't know what would have happened. If anybody needs a real estate representative I would pick you, you became a friend not just an agent. We thank you again for the wonderful job you did for us. Buenes noches!"
Harold & Norma Jolliffe, Calgary, AB Sep-2007
"Over the years we have purchased many houses, and this one was by far made the easiest. Kim was professional, knowledgeable and more than helpful. There was never a question she coud not answer and she worked hard to put us in the best place possible to suit our needs. Can't say enough good things about her and will use her again."
Sean and Kathryn Whalen , Calgary, AB Sep-2007
"Having worked in sales before l wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure working with you. Your knowledge of the area as well as area listings was incredible and we learned exactly what we needed to know to make our final decision about moving to the valley - which we appreciate more than you could know! It was a breath of fresh air dealing with a person with your professionalism and I can honestly say that if we need to buy or sell in the area we will definitely do business with you." (editor: they purchased a new condo development)
Michelle Arsenault and Chris Hunt , Calgary, AB Jul-2007
"Thank you so much for everything you did to get us our beautiful cabin, and helping me with my first real estate purchase. It took a year and a half of searching, but it was completely worth it. You certainly knew what we were looking for, and only sent us the gems that were worth our time and mileage to come out to see! We are thrilled with our new place, and it is thanks to you. We will certainly refer anyone looking to buy in the Valley to contact you. Thanks so much! "
Paul & Mike Callihoo, Calgary, AB Jul-2007
"My husband and I are so pleased how you handled our Real Estate transaction. We appreciate your professionalism and your skill in handling our transaction in the most efficient manner possible. We would most certainly refer anyone to you who is looking to buy property in the Valley. Cheers, Paula and Mike Callihoo"
Carrie & Brad Griko, Whitecourt, AB Apr-2007
"My husband and I first utilized Kim's real estate expertise when we moved from Whitecourt Alberta. She was incredibly helpful in assisting us in this long distance transition. Since then we have purchased and sold a rental property from her. When we had questions regarding selling a renovated rental property, we called Kim and she got us the information we requested (and more) in a very timely manner. We have recommended Kim to friends and will continue to do so as our experiences with her have been nothing short of excellent. She is warm, caring, and a professional; and puts our mind at ease when it comes to purchasing / selling real estate. We will continue to use Kim for our real estate needs."
Elizabeth & George Rollison, Edmonton, AB Apr-2007
"We would like to thank you for the hard work and for being so patient with me when we were trying to sell the condo in Radium, It was a stressfull time, but knowing we could trust you put my mind at ease. George and I appreciate all the hard work you did in selling. I have no problem recommending you for buying or selling. Thanks again, Liz"
Vesna Dusevic, Edmonton, AB Mar-2007
"I can't express how wonderful Kim made this whole experience. She turned what can be an extremely frustrating undertaking into a fun and very satisfying one. She anticipated all my needs and I ended up with the place of my dreams. Thank you Kim from the bottom of not only my heart, but the hearts of my children!!"
Peter & Connie Parkin, Calgary, AB Mar-2007
" Kim, we just wanted to express our thanks for the excellent service you provided on our recent purchase of our second home in Fairmont. With our moving from Calgary in the next two months, you took the stress away completely in our endeavours to find a suitable home. Your amazing energy and attention to detail are qualities we must admit that we have never seen in a realtor before ---- and we've lived in 4 different cities in Canada. You went the extra mile with duties buyers are normally left to fend for themselves on, and this was such a pleasant surprise. We know that if we make any other purchases in the Valley, we won't even think of using anyone else. Intelligence, energy, efficiency, patience, and a pleasant manner --- no one could ask for more. Thanks Kim!"
Sandy & Leslie Elliot, Calgary, AB Jan-2007
"The real estate experience working with Kim was just great. There was no pressure and no stress. Her professionalism and friendliness was greatly appreciated. Kim is also a fountain of information when it comes to the valley. We would recommend Kim to anyone for their real estate needs."
The Nicastro Family, Calgary, AB Dec-2006
"It surely was a pleasure dealing with you. Your professionalism & care to detail made buying our home an easy transaction. We would most definitely refer you & use you again in the future. Thank you so much for all your help!! "
Dan Franke, Edmonton, AB Dec-2006
"I appreciate everything you have done and can say dealing with you has by far (been) the best real estate experience I have had. Have a wonderful holiday season."
Don James & Joanie Davies, Calgary, AB Nov-2006

John & Shelly McLeod, Calgary, AB Nov-2006
"We would like thank you so much for representing us with our purchase in the Columbia Valley. We found you to be professional and at the same time very personable as well. Whenever I requested information or had questions you always responded very quickly. We were very happy with all of the information you provided to us about the different services available to us in the Valley and who to contact for different needs that we may have. We would not hesitate to use you again as our realtor or to recommend you to family and friends! Thanks again for all of your help! "
Duane & Colleen Strangward, Didsbury, AB Oct-2006
"We found Kim to be an excellent realtor. She is very professional yet very personable. Kim notified us regarding condition removals, etc... at the drop of a hat and we knew where things were at all times regarding our sale. We highly recommend Kim to anyone who is buying or selling a property. We will certainly continue to refer her to all our friends and family and would not hesitate to contact her for any future endeavors ."

We wish you continued success in the valley and hopefully some day in the future, our paths will cross again."
Irene & Colin McGovern, Calgary, AB Jun-2006

We would love to have you stop by some time! Have a great summer!"
Murray & Sharon Trusler, Moose Factory, ON May-2006
"We would like to thank you for your professional services regarding the purchase of our new home. Your handling of the purchase was excellent in every respect. We appreciated your prompt response to our emails that initiated the transaction. Your assistance with the building inspection, legal advice and contractors was invaluable. In addition, it was a pleasure to be able to view the property, with the owners' consent, several times during the course of events thanks to your arrangements. All of this took place in a friendly and patient atmosphere that made the experience enjoyable and stress free. We couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks Kim."
Norm & Shirley Miller, Calgary, AB Dec-2005
"Kim it was a pleasure to work with you in selling our home in Fairmont. The professional manner in which you demonstrated with the advertising, fact sheets and all of our dealings was 'top notch'. You were always so keen and willing to do whatever had to be done and in so many ways helped to take the stress out of selling. We thank you so much for everything and we would recommend you to others highly."
Tena and Corey, Grimsby, ON Dec-2005
"We want to thank you so much for helping us find our 'home'. We really appreciate the time and attention to detail you put into our search and then settling of the issues once we found our house. We really feel you went above and beyond the job."
Geoff McFarlane, Calgary, AB Nov-2005
"For me, purchasing real estate is a painful process. The time committment is immense and the "details" are a nuisance. Kim Collens demonstrated to me that with professional, prompt and courteous representation, the task of buying property need not be so cumbersome. I appreciated her candor and will recommend her services with distinction. Kind regards, Geoff"
Barry and Kelly Morrison, Calgary, AB Sep-2005
"From the moment we met you, we were impressed with your Calgary business sense and eagerness to succeed. You were a professional from the moment you walked in the door. We especially liked being kept in the loop with the progress of the listing with your web site and your weekly e-mails or telephone calls. Since the sale of our cottage, there have been many loose ends to tie up and they were all done quickly and professionally. It was a pleasure working with you and I will pass your name on to my friends if they have any real estate needs. Job Well Done Kim."
Paul and Dolores Neilson, Calgary, AB May-2005
"Kim, thank you for making our property purchase in the valley such a great experience. Your patience with all our questions and concerns was very much appreciated along with the helpful hints and information you provided for all those settling-in details like utilities, insurance etc. The service you provide before, during and after purchase is exceptional. We have been happy to recommend you as a realtor to our friends and acquaintances."
Carrie-Ann, Calgary, AB Feb-2005
"Harley and I just wanted to extend our sincerest thank you for making our first purchase wonderful. You are such an exceptional realtor, we really appreciate your quick and timely responses to our questions, your availablity either by phone or email , and most of all your patience. We would love to purchase from you again."
Jean Hankel and Lonnie Matsuno, Calgary, AB Oct-2004
"Thank you Kim for the wonderful service you provided us when we were buying a home in The Valley. We were so grateful for your integrity and patience and never once felt rushed, as we have with other realtors. We always felt supported in finding the home that was right for us, and you were always available when we called or e-mailed. Lon and I would highly recommend you to others."
Rod Gibbons, Invermere, BC Aug-2004
"I want to let you know that it has been an extreme pleasure working with Kim. At all times she was helpful, professional, and keen. One aspect I was quite impressed with was if she did not know an answer she did not try to make one up. She admitted it and then went and found that answer. I have been in the service business for 20 years so I feel like I can recognize service and Kim truly delivers."
