Testimonials

It’s been such a breath of fresh air to work with Treena Armitage on Susan’s Team. From the start, she asked us in detail what kind of home we were looking for and recommended beautiful areas in our price range to view! She very accommodating to me as I am somewhat disabled and her thoughtfulness was heartwarming. Treena is a wonderful mix of professionalism and the kind of person you would want to meet next door after a long but excellent home search. We found exactly what we were looking for and Treena gets our highest rating.

We thought that purchasing a home from out of province would be stressful but Treena immediately set us at ease with her caring disposition, knowledge and attentiveness to our unique family needs. She heard us and delivered! We absolutely love our new home. Thank you Susan for pairing us with Treena... it has helped make this transition to our new home even more magical.

Extremely pleased with the knowledge and professionalism which Treena Armitage from the Susan Forrest group displayed as we searched for our new home on Vancouver Island. Her professional architectural background was helpful at points as we assessed the quality of potential of homes we viewed. We never felt rushed to make a purchase and her ability to listen and identify appropriate properties based on our ongoing feedback made the search process very enjoyable and stress free. Treena was always available to answer our questions and view properties. Treena is personable with a sense of humour and we would highly recommend working with her and the Susan Forrest group to buy or sell a home.

We had the extreme good fortune of having Richard manage the sale of a small estate property. He was helpful and knowledgeable, gaining us results far beyond our expectations. Richard is without question the top realtor we have ever had the privilege of working with.

We knew from the start that Richard & Susan of Team Susan Forest would lead us in the direction we needed to go. Their willingness to support us along our real estate journey has clearly been a testament to great service and leadership where mind and heart combined create success!

Treena Armitage was referred to us by good friends who had used her services. They did not steer us wrong. While on vacation in the Parksville/Qualicum area, we spent a couple of days with Treena while acquainting ourselves more closely with the area. She listened to our list of requirements and wishes, plus made suggestions regarding things we had not thought of. We viewed several properties and she was excellent at pointing out the pluses and minuses of each. Unfortunately, in the end we decided we needed to be physically closer to the United States. Treena has continued to stay in-touch and provide information about the part of Vancouver Island we feel better suits our needs. She has also referred us to a realtor in that area and has promised to be available for anything we may need from her. We would highly recommend Treena to anyone in need of a realtor who listens, communicates well, and is excellent at her profession!

This was my second opportunity to work with Peter at Team Susan Forrest and once again a very positive experience. From working with Peter and Susan on the listing, to Peter and Richard on the offers, to Susan and Glenda providing and delivering moving boxes (this was such a bonus - one that I have not been privy to in prior moves), every step of the process was handled with professional courtesy. Kudos to Team Susan Forrest for going above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend your services going forward. Thank you.

Richard, Susan and the team were amazing. From our first meeting to the final handover, Richard was professional, competent and caring. He and the team took care of all the details and always presented our property at its best. The market changed just as we listed our property, so Richard provided us with data and context so we could adapt and respond as needed. If you're looking to sell or buy in the Parksville area, we highly recommend Richard and Team Susan Forrest.

We lucked in to finding Treena at Team Susan Forrest when we started to fantasize about moving from Vancouver to the Island. I inquired about a property that was listed by the team and Treena took it from there. It started with a phone call to get to know us and what we (thought) we were looking for. We made the trip over to meet Treena and she showed us a bunch of possibilities on a weekend visit. None of them were "the one" but she was SOOOOOO helpful providing insights, suggestions, and, perhaps most importantly, a steady hand and patience. It took some time, but when we finally found EXACTLY what we were looking for, Treena was on it and helped make it happen. We're thrilled and very grateful to Treena and the team for all their help and support. I absolutely recommend.

Richard Plowens and Team Susan Forrest were highly recommended to us by a close friend, once we had decided to relocate for family in another province. The professionalism, communication and consideration for the well being of our feathered family was exemplary. For every showing there was a member of Team Susan Forrest present to ensure the well being of the parrots with the least stress to them, this was a priority before we made a decision of which realty company/realtor to entrust our home sale through. We highly recommend this professional and caring team for selling and buying of homes, their service is top from beginning to conclusion.

As a fellow realtor from California, listing our home with Team Susan Forrest was the best decision we made. Exceptional communication , knowledge and due diligence throughout the marketing and negotiation process. Richard Plowens was our lead. However Susan and Richard always communicated with us together during the whole process. The follow-up from the whole office team was also impressive. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Team Susan Forrest to represent you.

Definitely call Treena if you’re interested in buying a home. She is by far, the absolute best Realtor we have ever worked with. We had exceptionally high expectations and a need for honesty and integrity when purchasing without viewing our new home. Treena completely exceeded all our expectations. She quickly helped us narrow our search to areas that would suit us best. She inspected homes on our behalf, from a perspective that included all pros and cons that mattered to our decision making. We bought our home WITHOUT SEEING IT. We felt completely confident in her ability and integrity. In fact, we even bought in an area that we had never seen. Treena did many video tours for us, handled all paperwork, inspections, negotiations, and closing final inspections, while we were out of the country! We love our house and area. People are amazed when I tell them our “Treena” story and how much we trusted her, as we are very particular about what we like, and who we choose to do business with. She’s the best!

Richard, Susan and the whole team did amazing work. The professional presentation of our home, the regular feedbacks and the calm manners of all team members made our house sale a very positive experience. We can certainly recommend Team Susan Forrest to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. Thank you Team!

We chose Team Forrest to sell our home because they were referred to us . The benefit of working with Sherry, Susan and the team was a stress free sale. If you listen and do everything they ask you to, your sale will go smoothly and quickly. We have used other realtors in the past but Team Forrest gave us more exposure, expert advice, very prompt communications, friendly environment, leaving the process relatively stress free. Our favorite part of working with Team Forrest was even though they had many, many, clients (Buyer and Sellers), They make you feel like you are their only client. The entire team was a delight to work with. They have a great sense of humor yet remain focused on their objective at all times. In three words this is One Dynamic Team.

Information on the Team Susan Forrest website was helpful in selecting our realtor. We thought Sherry would be a good fit based on the team description on the website, but in our first meeting it was quickly apparent that there was more to her than was mentioned in her profile. Sherry is the sixth realtor we’ve dealt with in our real estate lives. We’ve been fortunate to have good realtors who got the job done. Sherry, however, was a cut above the rest, and played a large role in making this undertaking a very positive memory.

We highly recommend Jody Moore of Team Susan Forrest. She helped us with our search for a new home on Vancouver Island. Jody's services exceeded our expectations by far. She is very efficient, prompt, ready to solve any problem. Jody was able to quickly figure out what we were looking for. She guided us through our search with lots of encouragement and optimism. She always had our best interest in mind. When viewing a property, Jody explains what to look for (the pitfalls, the positive aspects).We learned a lot from her. We knew we could reach out to her anytime and she would respond quickly. Jody, thank you very much for your kindness and your professionalism.

I want to thank the whole team that was involved in the sale of my home so quickly. It could not have been done without the professionalism and skills every member of the team brought to this incredibly satisfying sale. I entered this 'adventure' with a bit of apprehension but Team Susan Forrest just took over and made it a worry free experience.

Susan and her team are literally fantastic. They go out of their way to help and to make the stressful sale & purchase process as easy as possible. Over the past 15 years we've used them on numerous occasions and they've never failed to impress us with their knowledge and expertise. I would give them 10 stars if I could. No hesitation in recommending them.

Susan and her team were professional and informed. I appreciated Susan’s opinion and trusted her marketing approach with the sale of our home. Leah found us our new home and was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Susan, Leah and her entire team—they will make the experience efficient and effective.
