REMAX Powell River Testimonials

She always makes things come together when we need her and takes the stress off of us. Monica did a great job through our recent home sale and subsequent purchase and made financing easy even in a tough Canadian real estate and mortgage climate. Thanks Monica.

I immediately called Lisa to get the ball rolling. Lisa promptly set up an appointment with the selling agent and were able to negotiate the purchase price I only dared to hope for, an incredible $34,000 below the original list price! Within a week my own home was on the market, and within 48 hours of that a conditional offer was made and accepted. In less than a week, I had purchased a new home and my current home was conditionally sold. As with all things that seem to good to be true, the conditional offer made on my home fell through and my house was back on the market. Amazingly once again within 48 hours an offer - higher than the first at 99.5% of the list price - was received and accepted. While it may sound like a commercial, whether you are negotiating the purchase of a home or the sale of your existing property I highly recommend the personable, professional and hard working Lisa Bartello."

... I just got home from work and found your package, ooohhh yummy and thank you very much , I really like those kind of goodies!! . "You" are very welcome. Your professional advice and instruction was very valuable to me in the process of building my wonderful home, your help and availability was awesome. Thank you so much for being there for me!! I wish you a successful and safe year, and I have already recommeded you to a few who have asked, so hopefully if and when they need assistance they will contact you.

You truly are a blessing and an amazing Realtor and helper thru all this!

you are the best in biz building trust. Not many people have the patience nor care enough to bring client and all concerned family all together onto the same page and keep them all informed the whole time.

You truly are blessed with the ability to know exactly what your client's need. I'm not sure how I would have made it through to the end without not just your professional skills but your friendship as well! All the best for a successful year. Arlene Cabral

Personable, charming, helpful and precise.

....you are truly a breath of fresh air...Cheers lady! Izzy

All within an hour of my call. He knows what buyers want!! Danke aus Deuschland!!

Being from out of town we had limited times to view properties in person and Curtis accommodated us 100% He very patiently showed us more than 20 homes over the course of several months. We had to make 5 offers before getting the right deal. Curtis was awesome throughout. the whole process. guiding us on how to get the best deal with the right terms. The house that we finally settled on was not one that we picked and came in from a lower commission company. But Curtis (by that time) knew exactly what we really wanted - and found the right property for us - even though it was a much smaller commission for him. Then he expertly guided us to get the most amazing deal - far better than we thought we could. That said, his biggest help was with the After Sale assistance. Instead of moving on and leaving us high and dry (hey the deal is done, I'm paid, see you later), he fully supported us and helped arrange Trades People and Contractors - yes, we wanted to do renos too. Anytime we asked him to meet them - because we're still out of town, he willingly agreed, and spent much time doing so. His after sales guidance was outstanding! I can't say enough good things about him, and highly recommend Curtis Yungen for your next purchase. We will definitely work with him again when we sell or purchase new properties.

She found the best rates and the best conditions allowing me to do lump sum payments without penalty. Very easy to work with, I don't know if I would have managed without her. Thank you Monica. I should also mention that I live (the home in question is) in Windsor, Ontario...

We quickly realized that moving was the most stressful thing you do in a lifetime and we were very nervous. After viewing about 50 houses, Lisa did not give up on us, nor did she ever treat us like she was frustrated with our indecision on where to live and what to buy. Each time we went to view a home we had lots of laughs - it was like going out with the girls! The ultimate result was a perfect home to move to and a wonderful top dollar sale of our home! Lisa, we made you a great team. We were happy you found us a home and we will refer you to everyone we know.

I just opened and read your card, brought a smile to my face and stirred up some emotion. I'm going to go chop down a tree or punch a bear to make up for it and retain my man-card. Heartfelt thanks for sharing Chris & Katie

Her ideas and efforts in selling a home are endless and we will use her every time we buy or sell a home, regardless of where we move!" and after selling her beloved 'Uncle Jimmy's' home and he passed away this testimonial came in "You went above and beyond. You helped so much when we ran out of steam, you just took over. We will never forget and Thank You"

After working with you, my husband and I found you to be a very credible Real Estate Agent who truly had our needs in mind. The purchase of our home was a great experience. The commitment to us as customers and the time you spent evaluating the market and giving us tips paid off and we want to thank you once again for your dedication."

From a very happy condo owner. Thanks Ann and Peter.

Lisa Bartello was sent from heaven to help us through this busy time in our lives! She met every expectation we had and surpassed our wildest dreams of how great a real estate agent could be. We felt as though we had a friend helping us find a good home for us. She was totally reliable and required no checking up to ensure she was completing everything she was supposed to be. As well, she was exceptional at getting an excellent price for the home we desired. We now have a lovely house and a gorgeous community with very friendly neighbours... all thanks to her! I would recommend her to you if you are looking for a hardworking, reliable, honest, professional who will go above and beyond what is necessary to find you your new home. Thank you Lisa, for being everything realtors should be, and more!"

At the point when we had become completely discouraged by an overly competitive market and were ready to regress to renting, she recognized a golden opportunity that we would have overlooked in our fatigue, and encouraged us to give it a shot. Thanks to her professionalism and experience we are now in the house of our dreams. She was more than just our real estate agent, she was our partner in finding a home."

She found us a fabulous mortgage that met our needs exactly. This was the first time we used a mortgage broker and we were sure glad we found Monica. We have also found the information she posts in her regular newsletters to be very helpful. Monica's hard work is much appreciated.

.. I am ecstatic as this beautiful home is everything I have ever dreamed of having. Thank you again for your excellent service and very professional help. It was a real joy working with you.

I had phoned her agency and asked to speak to an agent in the office and it was clearly fate that they put me through to her. Lisa's personality and ability to connect with exactly what I was looking for in a home were uncanny! She followed through with everything I asked (even though I wasn't even sure what I wanted at the time) and helped me focus on the more important points of my search. Going through a divorce at the time, I was slightly scattered. But she picked up the puzzle pieces from what I said, put them all together in a cohesive 'picture' and guided me through the process. Her advice to me wasn't in the interest of the highest commission. It was truly what home would be best for ME. Psychologist and realtor all-in-one! I highly recommend her if you seek a personal experience with professional, straight-forward advice and a lot of laughs to take away the stress of the whole process.

I view your services as being worth more than a realtor in completing a transaction and have complete trust in you.

I recently purchased a 3 year old home only to find that the sewer pipes 21 feet from the house were never joined together. It was a horrendous situation and one that I had no idea how to deal with. It was Lisa who helped me. I did know her when I originally purchased my home, so her assistance was simply because 'it was the right thing to do'. It was with her assistance that I contacted TARION, the new home owners warranty protection program, and although this was not something that they covered, I was given direction and support and eventually convinced a very reluctant homebuilder that they should take responsibility and pay for the repairs. Thank you Lisa I was so pleased with the assistance I received from Lisa that I referred a friend to her when she was looking - and she could not be happier with the house Lisa found for her. Lisa goes far beyond what one expects from their real estate agent and I strongly recommend that you consider her when looking for an agent. Thank you, Lisa."

You are sooooooo good at what you do. Powell River Re Max is so lucky and blessed to have you as one of their Realtors. I couldn’t imagine going thru this process with anyone else. Glory to God! 🙏

.. Did her best to find me financing!!

We are extremely happy and would recommend them to anybody.”

We are extremely pleased with how everything turned out. I knew I could trust your patience and expertise while we went through this process. We are glad we trusted your advice as to which properties to stay away from. I believe our first contact with you was around the beginning of November 2007, by the beginning of December 2007 we put in an offer to purchase, and by the beginning January 2008 we took possession of our first home. Thank you for all your work, given this tight time frame. You know we will be calling on you to provide your services again in a couple of years, when we are ready to move into our next home. Warm Regards," Nasir & Arita Hashmi

I had a very informative appointment with her and she was prompt, kind and extremely helpful.
