Testimonials

Many thanks to Richard Plowens for the sale of my parents house. Richard and staff have all been very personable and professional. Thanks a million! What a Great Team!

Jody has single handedly won me over to why I/anyone would need a realtor in this day and age. Aside from granting access to prospective homes, As a first time home buyer I couldn’t see why anyone would pay that kind of money for what seemed like such a basic service. Right from the start it felt like she was there looking at the house WITH us, like we were all buying it together. She took the time to go through the home like she was on a mission. This included poking her head into every single room/closet/cabinet, checking the plumbing, estimating (accurately I might add) when and where possible renovations or upgrades had occurred. The level of authentic partnership she brings to the table is incredible. And the moment we found a home we loved, she was off knocking on neighbors doors to find out the real goods about the neighborhood. She is professional, her communication was always prompt, and not once did we have to hunt her down for information/Taking action on something she had committed to. Buying a house in 2023 was not an easy feat as a first time buyer, but working with Jody was a real pleasure.

Jody Moore with Team Susan Forrest helped me every step of the way in finding the perfect new home in Parksville. I felt really fortunate to have her as my agent because she is not only very knowledgeable and professional but also friendly, thorough and efficient. She responded quickly to all of my many questions and requests throughout the process and somehow made the whole experience pleasant and smooth. I found her to be an absolute gem and I have no hesitation in recommending her very highly! 10 stars!

I have been doing some work with Team Susan Forrest for some time now and have been so impressed with Susan, Richard, and the entire team. Their motto is 'real estate built on relationships' and I have felt that from the very first interaction. It has been such a refreshing experience to deal with a group of people that genuinely care about each and every one of their clients. On top of that, they are extremely knowledgeable, capable, and professional, with a wealth of experience between them. No matter who you are working with on the team, you get the power of the whole team behind you. I couldn't recommend Team Susan Forrest more.

We are very happy to have chosen Richard and his team. Always delivered very professional service with humour and respect. Richard was also tuned in to who was and wasn’t a good fit for our home. And he was always available for every concern, no matter how small. The entire team was cheerful and helpful all the way through the process of selling our home. Can’t recommend highly enough.

When our realtor in North Vancouver recommended we use Jody Moore and your team to find our dream Island retirement forever home in the Parksville Qualicum Beach area it turned out to be a godsend for us. It took a lot of work and concerted effort on her part, and a lot of patience with us in order to find that gem that we have been looking to find for months. She promised us early on in the search that she would find us our dream home and she delivered!! Thanks Jody and Team Susan Forrest.

We purchased our home in Parksville 3 years ago, and recently sold to move to another location on Vancouver Island. We used Susan Forest Team for both transactions and couldn't be happier with the results. The service we received from the entire team, with both our purchase and sale, was outstanding. Our home sold in 1 month and we were very satisfied with the sale price. Every detail was handled with courtesy and efficiency. We were blown away by the care taken in writing up the listing, the description of our home and property was done as though Susan had lived there. The photographs and Matterport 3D imaging were beautifully done. There was a member of the team always ready to assist us with any question or concern we had. Susan's and Richard's experience and attention to detail was evident throughout the process. Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful event, as we have experienced in the past. Susan, Richard, and their team took the stress away, and left us feeling we had again made new friends. We will recommend them any chance we get, with confidence and pleasure.

This was the first time I sold a house on my own and I couldn’t have done it without the help from Susan Forrest and her Team. Everyone was cheerful, very helpful and always encouraging. I highly recommend them if you are thinking of selling ( or buying). You will be well taken care of! They were also so patient and helpful finding a new home for my family and myself to share. Our heartfelt thanks to this wonderful Team, especially our Agent Glenda! We will miss seeing you!

Team Susan Forrest is comprised of some exceptional talent in the real estate industry. I appreciate that through my local realtor I have access to an entire team providing valuable information, perspective and relevant experience. My local realtor, Leah Yochim, is energetic, engaged, responsive and creative. Leah took the time to really hear me out, she understood exactly what I needed, and I am so thrilled to say that she found the perfect, perfect home for my brother! The business side of the sale was executed efficiently (very important in our current market), and I appreciated her balance of professionalism and warmth. Finding and buying a home is a very personal experience, a very meaningful experience, and I would highly recommend Leah Yochim and Team Susan Forrest.

If you're looking to sell or buy in the Parksville area, we highly recommend Richard and Team Susan Forrest.

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.
