I just bought a highrise condo from Corina. As a new immigrant, I had no idea what I should do or sign. Corina was thoughtful, patient and professional. She explained to me all the terms of the contract and what subjects I needed to put into protect myself. Recently there have been too many realtors Iʼve met who just push you to make a deal. Corina is quite reliable and she always puts herself in your shoes. I recommend her sincerely.

Before meeting Corina, my husband and I thought we could buy a place without a Realtor. We believed in the myth where going directly to the seller's agent would put us in better position in time for negotiation. But after a few encounters with different seller's agents, we only found ourselves disappointed by them so eager to sell us their listings without listening to our needs. When we first met Corina at an open house, her carefulness to not fall into conflict of interest caught our attention - we were without a Realtor, yet she told us frankly she did not feel comfortable to represent both sides in a deal. Though that particular unit did not work out for us, Corina continued her contact with us and made herself available even upon short notice. She listened to our buying criteria before providing her professional advice. Our buying experience was very pleasant thanks to her. She works in the best interest of her client and we will recommend her to our family and friends.

Corina understood my needs and what I was looking for. She listened patiently as I explained my concerns and presented me with properties that met my unique criteria. She was patient and empathetic when explaining the buying and selling process. Corina always went the extra mile to give me peace of mind and made my downsizing journey a lot easier. I am very grateful and would not hesitate to recommend her.

I first knew Corina when she was an Occupational Therapist. The skills that made her a good OT -- empathy, a practical problem-solving nature, strong listening skills and a knack for helping people adapt to the changing phases of life -- all these skills have transferred seamlessly into her second career as a realtor.
When I was ready to downsize from my family home, in a run-up to retirement, I asked Corina to help me twice, on purchases that couldn't have been more different. First, she negotiated my purchase of lakefront recreational property on a Gulf Island; six months later, she helped me buy a studio apartment in the West End. With the studio, Corina coached me in shaping my offer so that my bid was successful even though it wasn't the most lucrative offer on the table. She offered a steady hand in a stressful moment!
I strongly recommend you give Corina a call -- especially if your life is changing in ways that go beyond just where you live.
