"Stephanie Peat was our listing agent for the sale of our home in the Saxe Point area of Esquimalt and for the acquisition of a home in North Saanich. 

We were exceptionally impressed with Stephanie’s detailed knowledge of the housing market, her attention to detail about understanding our particular requirements and we very much relied on her sound and trusted advice.

Stephanie worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to purchase the “right” house and that we sold our home for the best possible price.

We would, without reservation, most highly recommend Stephanie as a trusted real estate agent who will go the extra mile to ensure your success.

Thanks Stephanie!"

"Stephanie Peat is an amazing real estate agent. She helped one of us sell a house and then the three of us to buy another.  Stephanie acted professionally in all communication, was quick to respond to any questions and thorough in her responses. Her customer service was exceptional.  If we need to buy or sell in the future we will definitely use Stephanie's service again and happily recommend her to anyone who wants excellence in a real estate agent. She went above and beyond what we expected."

"It was such a positive experience dealing with Stephanie. When listing my home I was presented with a comprehensive report showing me current market trends and giving me a clear indication of the value of my home. Stephanie offered to stage my home which added a layer of warmth showing off the best features of my floor plan. During negotiations Stephanie worked hard getting me the best offer with a lengthy closing date. 

We were so impressed with Stephanie we asked her to assist us in finding a new home. She was available 7 days a week making appointments and touring homes with us. Stephanie answered all our questions promptly. We had a very positive experience working with Stephanie and are happy with the warm and professional service. Dealing with Stephanie and her staff has been my BEST ever real estate experience and over the years I have purchased 9 homes. She is Top Notch!"

"Stephanie showed a great deal of patience with us in finding this residence.  We had never experienced condo/strata living style before.  We always lived in a rural setting and moving to a city life was an experience neither of had encountered in over 50 years.  She was a great help in giving us the information we would need for this adjustment.  We have recommended her to our family members living here in Victoria and I understand that last week she sold a condo for our Granddaughter and her spouse."

"From the moment we first met Stephanie we knew she was a good fit for us. Her friendliness and warmth combined with her professionalism are a perfect combination! It took over a year to find our perfect home and when we did, it was Stephanie that brought the property to our attention. It was a little outside of our original search area, but ultimately it checked all of our boxes and then some. Our new home is wonderful and suits us and our things perfectly and the area has turned out to be a great fit as well.

When it came time to sell our home, the advice and assistance she provided in preparing it for sale was invaluable. It looked amazing and sold quickly! We would not hesitate to recommend Stephanie to anyone buying and/or selling."

"Stephanie is by far the most professional realtor Irene and I have ever used. Her qualities of honesty, integrity, punctuality and a great desire to assist her clients during this stressful time are greatly appreciated. We can not say enough good things about Stephanie. When it comes to recommending a realtor Stephanie is an easy choice."

"It was a great pleasure to have Stephanie sell our mother’s house after her move to independent living. She was incredibly kind and patient with the whole family, and did an amazing job in getting the best value for the property. We found her knowledge and experience of the market was invaluable in setting our price expectations, and she easily encouraged us to make minor improvements to increase buyer potential. Regular communication from Stephanie and her excellent service team were greatly appreciated as it kept everyone on the same page in the selling process. We would highly recommend Stephanie for your consideration in selecting a realtor if you would like a skilled professional who will best represent your best interests and your home."

"I cannot recommend realtor Stephanie Peat highly enough! My family members referred me to her for a recent house search in the Saanich Peninsula. Stephanie is always professional, while being very personable and approachable. Since I am from out-of-province and new to the greater Victoria area, Stephanie went out of her way to tour me around the Peninsula, showing me areas of interest as well as neighbourhoods which I would not have discovered on my own. Having grown up in greater Victoria, Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable about the various communities as well as the local real estate market and always keeps her client's interest first and foremost. While I was house-hunting from across the country, Stephanie kept in touch with me regularly, and she went above and beyond to facilitate the logistics of my subsequent Sidney real estate purchase and the home inspection. My new house backs on to a gorgeous pond, and knowing that I am a waterfowl enthusiast, Stephanie greeted my at my new home with the gift of a wooden duck which she had hand picked from a store in Victoria. That amazingly thoughtful and personal service is a rarity in life."

"Just a note to say how happy we were with  Stephanie’s service selling our house on Forest Park Drive. We feel she went the extra mile –was always available when we called – and always letting us know what  progress  there was after a showing.  She gave us beautiful  bound books of photos  of the house that we will treasure forever and has kept in touch after our move to make sure all was well.  Our many thanks to her and to DFH for such a smooth transition. We will certainly recommend Stephanie as the agent to call if anyone is interested in selling."

"We were more than pleased with the service that was provided during our long search for our new home, and equally so through out the purchasing period and Ms Peats follow up was phenomenal.We have already recommended her services to others and will continue to do so. Over the years we have dealt with a few  real estate agents, Ms. Peat was by far the most exceptional. Her professionalism while maintaining a friendly and helpful client relationship is a great talent."

"I was very happy with the service Stephanie and her team provided.  It was obviously a very stressful time, and Stephanie's professionalism and kindness made a difficult situation easier.  Her thorough market evaluation and tips for preparing the condo for sale were particularly helpful.  The weekly updates while the condo was on the market made me feel the property was getting her full attention and all the advertising her team, or any team, could provide.  We were very happy with the staging the property received before going to market.  With both Grant and I out of town, it was very reassuring to feel that my not being in Sidney made no difference to the attention or marketing the property received.  The professionalism shown at all times by Stephanie and her team gave me complete confidence that we had listed with the right person.  And, Stephanie was so warm and genuine, it was nice to feel that she was someone you could just talk to, as well.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone I knew, and would definitely seek out her services if I am ever in the market to buy or sell in the area.  It was a pleasure doing business with her, even at a very difficult time."

"Stephanie came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint! I interviewed three realtors before we proceeded with listing my Dad’s house. We chose Stephanie to list the house because she listened, she was very familiar with the Sidney market and she had a lovely presence.

Once my Dad's house was empty, Stephanie brought her team in to stage it. It beautifully transformed the house and helped draw attention to the really positive features of the house. We were amazed at the difference the staging made to the overall feel of the house. All the way through the process Stephanie and her team kept us well informed, checked in regularly to make sure we knew what was going on and  guided us with decisions that needed to be made. She was a delight to work with and a professional through and through. We would definitely recommend Stephanie to friends and family.”

Her knowledge of the market and expertise in negotiations really made our job so much easier. We would recommend her anytime and should the need arise in the future would not hesitate to choose her again. Overall a very positive experience for what was a stressful time. Thanks Stephanie!"

"My apartment was looking a little bare with no furniture, Stephanie went the extra mile and provided some staging for the apartment to make it look more like a home. Stephanie’s advice at the negotiation stage was insightful and helped to close the deal. Her prompt attention to detail and phone calls made her a pleasure to work with. I would heavily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell housing".

We would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and colleagues who needed a true professional to help them with their property".

"When it came time for us to list our property and seek out our forever home I knew there was only one Real Estate Agent we wanted to work with; Stephanie Peat.  Stephanie has worked with family members in the past on their sale and purchase so we were familiar with her work however, Stephanie far exceeded our expectations.  We were fully confident that having Stephanie working with us we would have a quick sale and she did not disappoint selling our home in 10 days!     

Then the search was on for our forever home; having a big check-list to satisfy Stephanie was patient, knowledgeable and very responsive with all of our questions.  We found the perfect home that ticked most all of our boxes and Stephanie was then instrumental in guiding us with the purchase of our forever home.  

I have never met a more professional business person in any industry than Stephanie.   You are truly a superstar!  

Thank you so much Stephanie for all of your hard work assisting us with the biggest purchase of our lives.  We wish you all the best and we will continue to refer you to anyone with Real Estate needs knowing they will be in the best hands possible!"

"We looked at Stephanie’s profile while we were still living in Alberta, because of her living in the area, we knew she would be very knowledgeable in the market there, we had a future relocation to the Sidney area, but we had no time frame for our arrival. 

Stephanie started to work with us almost a year before we moved to the island, and after we arrived she showed us properties for months, without any reassurance that we would even get to stay. Stephanie was always very professional, prepared with copies of the listings for us, water bottles for the hot drives, but the best was her manner, she became more to us than just our realtor, she became a friend. 

After 9 months, we got the word that we were moving back to Alberta, Stephanie still continues to send us listings for condos that meet our requirements, because we will be back. We have passed along her name to any one we have spoken to that is looking at a home on the island, We know anyone will be as pleased to work with her as we were. Can’t wait to see her again."

"Stephanie is amazing! We decided to move to the Victoria area while we still living overseas in Africa. Despite the distances and time differences, Stephanie was able to help us articulate our priorities, and narrow down our preferences using her online tools. Being a well-established local resident, Stephanie helped us understand the various neighbourhoods, drawing out the strengths of each. Stephanie established bookings as and when needed, and even helped locate past listing to ensure we had a great sampling of properties to view. She never pressured and was incredibly patient, accommodating, always focused on helping us find the house we wanted. As we narrowed in on our preferred property, she was able to advise and support us through the process, providing professional and up to date knowledge on all key aspects involved in the sale closing. Regardless of where you live, or what type of place you are looking for, we highly recommend Stephanie as your real estate advocate."

"We first met Stephanie at an open house.  She was showing the house and baking cookies!  When we wanted to sell our house, we thought of her right away.  She was very patient with us, directed us without being at all pushy, she was accommodating and professional at all times. 

She went above and beyond the call of duty at all times and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a house – she helped us do both! 

Thank you very much Stephanie!"

Barb and Mitch Holme

"Let me briefly say that I was very impressed with you as a realtor. I have dealt with realtors for some 35 years as a conveyancing lawyer in Burnaby and Vancouver and for the last 5 years buying or selling various properties here in Victoria and you are beyond any shadow of a doubt the best one of them all. You are not lazy in the least. You follow up with detailed communication more often then not within minutes, work hard to ensure a sale happens when it should whether it be by staging or presentation of the property or accommodating the purchaser’s realtors in a friendly quick and charming manner.

Plus you deal with the emotional aspect of it as well. I really didn’t want to sell my home so I am sure I wasn’t the easiest Vendor to deal with but you handled me expertly and professionally. I thank you for your patience through out. If ever I can help you in some way please give me a call."

"When Stephanie and her team of Stagers completed the transformation of my condo I hardly recognized it as my home. It looked stunning and magazine perfect. To top it off my unit was the only one out of 4 listed in the building that sold. Great work ladies."

"My wife and I want to express our sincere thanks for helping us purchase our first home. From start to finish you handled our transaction in a most professional and forthright manner. You understood our needs, staying focused on them. Even if one of the homes we asked to see didn't fit our needs, you still took the time to walk us through it to hear what we liked and didn't like about it. I know this really helped you feel confident when you saw what is now OUR home; you knew it was the right one for us.

To get more specific:

• We appreciated the way you explained each step of the buying process.
  
  
• Your connections and interaction with the selling Realtor provided us with the opportunity to see our new house before anyone else could.
  
  
• Helping us find a plumber to scope the perimeter drain after the inspection showed leakage in the crawl space turned a potential negative into a positive.
  
  
• offering those great quality moving boxes made the move better.
  
  
• Sending your appliance repair man over to fix the refrigerator door saved us money.
  
  
• Delivering coffee and pastries on the day we took possession met a physical need we didn’t even know we had! 

You took your skills and turned them into a blessing for us, thank-you for all the work you did. We have and will continue to recommend you to our friends and family."

"I just wanted to thank you again for the hard work you put into the sale of my home in Victoria.  I was very worried that I was going to be flying back and forth from work in Saskatchewan to take care of the final details but thanks to you I didn't have to worry about a thing and was able to concentrate on the new job.  You arranged for my yard to be cleaned-up, you staged the house at your cost, you contacted all of my contractors to get receipts for the work they did in the house over the last year, you arranged for your own inspection (out of your own pocket) and you even rooted around the dirty garage to find the paint and did a few touch-ups.  So impressed!   

I also appreciated that you dropped off some boxes to help with packing and I still can't believe you arranged to have the yard nice and presentable for possession day...out of your own pocket no less.  I am sure the new owners had a great experience thanks to you! 

Thanks so much for all of the above, for things I am sure I've forgotten, or to which I did not bear witness, and for the lovely gifts of congrats on the sale!  I can honestly say that you are the first realtor I have dealt with who has earned her commission...and then some.  You have also earned my repeat business and my highest recommendation."

"If we had to do it all over again we would not hesitate for one minute by hiring Stephanie to sell our home. She was extremely organized and professional in all of her communications and put her heart and soul into the job. We had full confidence in Stephanie's knowledge and background regarding the market conditions and her ability to get everything organized prior to selling our home. We received an offer that sold our house in the first week of listing, during the negotiations Stephanie was extremely ethical in her practice and proficient in her manner. We were pleased with how things unfolded during a very emotional transitional period in our lives and definitely give Stephanie the bulk of the credit for making things run so smoothly. Thanks again."
