"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."

"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."

"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." "

"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."

and I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that
our home has SOLD!!!! We had an offer within two weeks of
listing on BC Island Homes, and our sale completed on August
10th. Thank you so much for your quick and efficient service.
It was great having people view our home online, eliminating
the 'lookie loos' that sometimes plague those selling privately.
Thanks again for the great service!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

did sell privately, we received full asking price and the

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!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We
have sold our house! Please remove the listing from your
web site for our home. 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. "

have the most comprehensive, complete, easy to use site
on the market.!! Yep, it's true , I have searched and researched
alot of FSBO sites and run into incompletes..or zero listings
I particularly like the way ...if I type in Comox, you include
all the surrounding areas...BRILLIANT simply the best. I
am motivated to write, after searching sooo looong for some
real estate in sayward OR surrounding areas, Thanx."

"To
Rebecca or Pam, this is to notify you that we have officially
sold our home. Today September 20th the papers are signed
and sealed. I would like you to place a sold 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 and family about it,
and will definitely continue to recommend your web site
to anyone who wants to sell their home. The offer actually
came in just 3 days after being on your web site, but had
a subject to the sale of their home, which it sold over
the weekend. Thanks once again, and I will be looking forward
to seeing a sold sign on your web site of my home. Thanks
again"

Pam and Rebecca,
I am so very happy to report to you that the deal on our
house was closed yesterday and it is now SOLD! YEAH!!!!
We cannot thank you enough for bringing such a great service
not only to the Valley but to the whole worldwide web. Though
our buyers were local, we did have interest from a few people
from out of province and we were able to sell our house
in only five weeks from the date we listed on your site.
Again, thank you so very much! We will be recommending 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

just wanted to let you know that we've sold our house. The

"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!"

presented the whole add,in your web site. We had so much
response from places as far away as Florida,(several 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 web site. You may use us as a reference any
time. In fact we have already recommended your name several

Dear
Rebecca & Pam,
We want to thank you for your fantastic web site, knowledge
and support in the selling of our home. The number of prospective
buyers who contacted us from the web site were very impressed
with the full specifications and photos on the site. We
are now in the process of looking through other FSBO web
sites to find a home and feel they could certainly take
lessons from you. We wish you every success and once again
thank you.....
~ Louise & Wil Leduc. March 28th, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank
you very, very much for all your help. We got a good number

through the web site. We sure appreciate your good service.
~ 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!'
