"Deciding to sell our place myself was the best choice I made. BC Island
Homes website was fantastic, you provided a great service and the process was
easy. The place sold in about 6 weeks and it was a great experience. We saved
thousands in realtor fees, and I will definitely go this way again if we ever
sell. I will be recommending you to everyone I know wanting to sell. Thanks Again
for the wonderful service you provide".

lots, thanks to your web site. I am glad to be able to bring you some more business.
We also have a spec home I will likely advertise through bcislandhomes. Thanks

"Thank you for all of your assistance in the sale of our Patio Home here in Comox.
We managed to sell our home ourselves and we saved a great deal of money in the
process. I like the way your web site tracks the number of people that have looked
at our listing and also the number of people that returned for a second look.
The sale forms that you provided were most helpful, especially the information
to the purchaser on how to purchase a home listed “For Sale By Owner”. It gave
a great deal of confidence to the people that purchased our home. Buying and selling
real estate can be for some, a very emotional experience, and all of the extras
that your firm provided were most helpful. We sold our property within 6 weeks
of listing it at www.bcislandhomes.com and the sale went very smoothly and we
are now treating ourselves to a very nice vacation with the money we saved."
~ Harold & Margaret Bigelow. Comox, June
18th, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BC Island Homes brought me a buyer within 4 days of listing. It was a case of
the right people showing up at the right time. Not that it will happen this way
for everyone, but I sold the house to the first couple to view it. I had done
a bit of research and the price was fair to both myself and the purchasers, being
able to price without figuring in realtors commission. The website for BC Island
Homes is gathering more strength with each day." ~
Janine C. McKay. Union Bay, April 28th, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was really impressed with the service that we received and the help and guidance
to selling our home. We were surprised at the number of hits on our site and the
numerous inquiries. Everything was very basic and simple. We just answered emails
and questions people would ask about our home. We had several showings and finally
we had a buyer. Everything went so incredibly well that it was hard to believe
we did it all on our
own with of course the help from the B.C. Island Homes
web site and staff." ~ Rick & Pat
MacEachern. Woss, April 11th, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BC Island Homes for Sale is the best FSBO web site by far. I have spent a lot
of time looking through similar sites and none of them have the wonderful layout
that BC Island Homes has. It is easy to navigate, well organized and the pictures
are large and clear. I would heartily recommend this site to anyone buying or
selling a home." ~ Arran Kerrigan.
Professional Organizer, April 8th, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The best part of using BC Island Homes to help sell our home is the communication
line opened up between us and our buyers. There was no 3rd party voice. We formed
a great relationship with our buyers and they even had us over for supper after
the deal was closed. We were also surprised at how easy the legality's and paper
work are on our own. We will go the same path if we sell again. We only wish the
home we bought was through BC Island Homes." " ~
Sherry Turnbull. Courtenay, March 29th, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"IT SOLD!!!!!! Thank you very much
for your assistance in selling our home. You put it on
the web site on Friday,
we put the sign up Sunday morning and we had an offer that we accepted on Wednesday
evening. It was from the first people that looked at the home. Thanks again. Great
service and we were exceptionally happy with the way our home
showed on your
site. Lots of positive comments on how professional your site is and it is
very easy to navigate (unlike some others!)" ~

"Hello, Thank You for all your help in selling my home on Urquhart Ave. It sold
right away and I had 2 back up offers. I didn't contact you sooner and tell you
that it was sold because I was waiting for subjects to be removed. I will recommend
your services highly. Thank You again." ~

"We have sold two houses, one old, one brand new, and also a Business through

We had an offer within two weeks of listing on BC Island Homes, and our sale completed

"Thank you for helping us sell our condo in Comox. We loved your site
and you did a great job with the pictures--we received several compliments from
people who looked at the site and said they could just "see" our place. We had
people from Alberta as well as BC look at the condo and eventually sold it to
a local person. You couldn't have been more helpful and we are delighted with
our sale. Many, many thanks." ~
Wendy & Al Tippett. Courtenay, July 6th, 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can you put a sold sign on our
house. We have an unconditional sale as of today. We have used you once before
to sell our place and you Internet exposure has worked again. You have an easy
site to navigate through and read, also you are on top of your game as far as
keeping current with listings, sales and removal from your site. (Not like some
I have been on). Once again thanks." ~

"Dear Pam & Rebecca, Please
put "SOLD" on our listing! We just signed our papers yesterday, so thank you for
your great website. After a lot of research, such as 'Googling' FSBO's and comparing
services and user friendliness, we found your FSBO site to be one of BEST on the
net! We had an amazing amount of inquiries, from Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C.
and will definitely recommend BC Island Homes.com to anyone thinking of buying
or selling their home privately!" ~
Dave & Kathryn Keld. Courtenay, April 13th, 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We did sell privately, and
BC Island Homes was a help in allowing the buyers to see enough to want a showing.
We have also had a number of others wanting to make offers, most of which we attribute
to BC Island Homes because we have advertised only with you and a put up a lawn
sign. We will definitely use you again." ~
Colin & Lynda Hearn. Comox, Feb 7th, 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi, Just to let you know
we've sold our house. It was because of the web site that we were able to sell
using your site for the second time. You just have to be patient and know your
pricing. Thanks again." ~ Pat

"Yes, I did sell my home privately.
The listing on BC Island Homes definitely was of assistance in selling my home.
I hadn't even got a for sale sign put in my yard yet, as one of my early respondent's
to the Internet listing ended up being the purchaser of my home. Thanks again,
Kathy." ~ Kathy MacDonald .
Comox, June 9th, 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just wanted to let you
know that the house is now sold. Thank you very much. Actually, it was the first
person who responded to the add. They also sold their home privately, and my sister
just sold her place on her own also. I found it to be a great experience, and
I believe the part I liked the most was getting to know the people that are buying
my home. I feel comfortable leaving my home in their hands. I was also able to
walk them through the gardens and explain what`s there, and go over some of the
quirks of the home, and let them know about the neighbors. We keep in touch by
e-mail, and I feel we will remain friends. Thank you." ~
Herb & Harley. Chemainus, June 8th, 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My farm was sold privately.
BC Island homes was of assistance because the sign on my farm and in newspaper
advertising referred people to the website for details so saved me a lot of time
answering calls for details because they were available on the website. Thanks
for your interest and great web design." ~
Sandra Martin. Victoria, May 25th, 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sold, thanks to you. The buyers
spent four days in the area in the company of a Realtor and were shown nothing
they liked. They returned to the mainland, spotted this on your web site, came
back the next day and bought it. It was listed for 6 weeks, brought at my price,
and was a painless process. Many thanks - I owe you a beer - or maybe a brewery." ~
Merlin Moss. Lantzville, March 2nd, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We
did sell privately, we received full asking price and the person did discover
our home on your web site!" ~

are pleased to announce we have sold our house at Monarch Drive in Courtenay.Thank
you very much for allowing us to use your services as the buyer saw the house
on your web site, and we did not even have a For Sale sign on our front lawn.
The transaction was easy. Thank you!" ~
Janice & Phil. Courtenay, January 27th, 2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We

Thank you so much for the great service. We did absolutely nothing other than
list it on your site as we were contemplating waiting till spring and it was still
so easy to sell. We have already referred you to three others we know who are
looking at selling. One of them has already listed with you. " ~
Lisa. Victoria, January 18th, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I

sign on our web site ad. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you
for your help in selling our home through your web site. I have told many friends

your services to anyone that we know that may need to sell or buy in the future.
Take good care, and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!" ~

Island Homes was most definitely of assistance to us! I would not hesitate to

"We had great success with our listing through BC Island Homes. We had
previously listed our house with a Realtor for 3 months without even an offer!
Within 2 months we had an offer we accepted (from others) and sold our house without
any problem. We even had inquiries and showings from people out of province that
liked the look of our house from the BC Island Homes site. It was a really good
experience and the service we received with initially posting our house and getting
our sign and CD with the forms was fast and efficient. I would recommend this
service to anyone!"

calls actually) and even 1 from the Philippines! We have sold the building and
all is final now. It so happened that we sold it to a local person, and that was
even better. I highly recommend your service. It was so easy to talk with you
and your pleasant and comfortable manner made it all so much easier. Thank you
both so very much, and good luck to you in the future. Please place sold on the
ad, as we are still getting calls today. It will be good to see it sold on the

Susan and Dell Bornowsky. October 2001 (Home sold in one month!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “We
sold a house in a falling market, it was so nice to know that we could minimize
our losses while providing an honest and complete package for the buyer. We are
proud of our home and BC Island Homes services let us show it for it's value as
a home which we really enjoyed. Selling privately was a great experience, now
we are excited about buying using a local service not operating on commission
but on the best presentation of a home possible. Buying a home is a huge and serious
investment for all people and an Internet site with all this information is truly
having compassion for the buyer.”
~ Julie Edwards, February 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Your site is excellent and the personal service that you provide go way
above and
beyond what anyone could expect from a web site such as yours.
Not to mention
all of the invaluable advice that you have given at No Charge!
Thank you again!'
