Having had many dealings over the years with a significant number of realtors, I can sincerely state that in my opinion, Irene Dekker, by her behavior and skill has renewed my faith in the realty business and I have no qualms in recomending her to my friends and family. I was most happy with her integrity and openess in guiding me through the process of not only selling but also buying. As a result of her Medallion experience I was able to get top dollar as a Vendor and also felt ahead as a Buyer. Along the way, there were times when I felt overwhelmed by "bumps" in the road, she handled them with professionalism and grace and thereby diffusing the anxiety, resulting in success.

I was a first time homebuyer. I had talked to numerous different realtors, and none seemed to meet my needs. Then, I met Irene. Right after I had spoken with her and arranged to meet, she had already pulled various properties for us to peruse with all with the features I was looking for! (Most important was that I was allowed to have pets)Irene is a go getter and I knew she was the right realtor for me. Throught out our dealings I always felt I could call Irene to ask her questions. I have now purchased my new home, and Augie(My Dog) and I Love it! I would recommend Irene to all my friends and family.

Charlene and Augie

We unexpectedly found ourselves in the spring of 2004, having to find new accommodation with very little opportunity to research the market and at a time when real estate on the north shore was a hot commodity. As we were flipping through the newspaper, we happened upon an advertisement for a condominium that was listed by Irene, and so we contacted her hoping to see the property and learn more about it. In our initial meeting, we were very impressed with Irene's professionalism, and her warm, engaging attitude, and realized that we would be interested in retaining her in our search for a new home. We were never disappointed with this choice, and she was with us every step of the way, as we dealt with an absentee seller, and several wrinkles that arose along the way. She was very helpful and honest and direct in dealing with us, and she made the whole process of buying our new condominium a very positive experience. For that we were very appreciative and we would be honoured to recommend her to others who are searching for a professional, helpful, caring and knowledgeable real estate agent on the north shore.

Irene Dekker recently represented us in both selling our townhouse and buying our new house. In selling our townhouse Irene used her exceptional marketing skills and knowledgeable insights generating enough interest in our property resulting in us receiving multiple offers.

We appreciated the way she handled the negotiations and sale of our property, keeping us informed of every situation. We definitely felt like Irene was looking out for our best interests, being honest and candid throughout.

With the brisk housing market, time was of the essence when opportunities arose, in purchasing our new property. We were particularly impressed with Irene*s prompt response times and attention to detail.

Irene quickly learned our tastes and preferences, and used them to find us a fantastic home. Irene did not hesitate to point out the pros and cons of the properties we viewed.

Irene's guidance through the process is extremely comforting, and her knowledge and experience with buying and selling in North Vancouver helped us to find a place that we'll love to live in and that will be a good long term investment.

We have no hesitation in referring relatives, friends, co-workers and even strangers to Irene Dekker!

Irene Dekker sold my home in record time at a price I wanted. Her expert advice with respect to preparing the property, listing at the right time and putting together a solid marketing plan was perfectly coordinated to get the best possible results.

Irene's knowledge of the local real estate market and her ability to put people at ease is remarkable. She is a great listener who responds quickly to changing situations. I was never kept wondering what was happening, as Irene was quick to share her observations and impressions with me every step of the way.

Irene's dedication to achieve my goals went beyond expectation. I am pleased with Irene's service and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Bev Pausche

When my realtor Irene Dekker RE/MAX Crest Realty suggested getting the house staged I didn't really know what to expect. She introduced me to Dana from Sun On My Back Redesigns.

When we met her my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and agreed to go ahead with having her students come in. Well, when I came home that night I was absolutely amazed. It really felt like being on TV - everything looked so good! I gushed over every room and the creative ideas they had are things I never would have thought to do. I love it so much now I hate to move!"

When I was ready to buy and apartment, I knew your knowledge and expertise in the real estate market were what I needed to become mortgage free!

Thank you for continually emailing properties for me to view on line in the price range I could afford. And when I did find what I was looking for, once again your knowledge of current market trends was invaluable to secure a multiple offer purchase.

I also appreciated you input and suggestions ‘staging’ my existing home. The on-line listing and Real Estate listings were professional. Your aggressive business acumen in a real estate market that was predictably changing is, I’m sure, what secured for me a sale at the asking price!

Thank you Irene...for your follow-up phone calls with regard to the legalities of buying and selling property, and making sure I was prepared at all level for moving day. I wish you well as you continue selling homes on the North Shore - and beyond!

Sincerely,
Anne Fitzpatrick
