SOME THOUGHTFUL WORDS FROM FANTASTIC CLIENTS...

We would recommend Amy to anyone!  She was professional, extremely patient, understanding of our needs and wants, and was looking out for our best interests at every step of the way.  She was always available and willing to answer any question, regardless of how small. We were very happy with the process of selling and buying with Amy because we felt well informed.  When we move again we would ask for Amy's help once again without a doubt. -Stephanie and Axel Swanson

I met Amy at an open house in the condominium building that I was considering purchasing a unit in. Unlike other agents I had encountered at other open houses, Amy did not use aggressive high-pressure tactics to secure me as a client. Instead, she let me make the decision to contact her. Other agents had urged me to sign an exclusivity contract upon my first meeting with them, which I found off-putting. Amy, confident in her ability to retain clients, only had me sign the contract when my first offer went in.

My first attempt at purchasing a unit did not pan out due to strong competition. Amy's cheerful optimism about finding an even better unit helped me to get over my disappointment. This was my first foray into purchasing real-estate and Amy was incredibly supportive, patient and professional throughout the experience. As it turned out, Amy showed me many units over several months before I finally found "the one." Amy was never late for an appointment, was quick to respond to e-mails or phone calls, and did not pressure me at any time into purchasing a unit. She left the selection of the unit up to me and reassured me that when I walked into "the one" that was for me, I would know. She was right!

Amy found the perfect condo unit for me and helped me through the negotiation process to secure an excellent price. Amy was able to suggest a great lawyer and she took care of all of the details of the real-estate transaction so that it went as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a friendly, savvy and truly professional real estate agent.-Dr. Bradley Doble

I don't think we can really express how awesome we feel now that we are starting to settle into our new home. I'm excited to tackle the landscaping and adding little things that will make this house more of a home. Of course we are so grateful for all the help you continue to be for us with your advice, good tips and now friendship. I was glad that we were able to work with someone that understood our needs and went that extra step to make us feel right with our decision. We're glad you helped us laugh about some of the most random houses-- an experience I will not forget. Our new home is a great fit for us to start our life together and learn more about each other before the big day. Thank you for everything and more. -Ainsley Gelder & Jason VanVeen

Midyear 2007 my boyfriend and I started looking at houses. We were both first time buyers so we were very excited about embarking down this path together. One of the first places we went to, we had the realty company send an agent to meet us. They sent Amy Gilmore and it was the best thing that could have happened for us! While it took us over 6 months to find the perfect house, our experience with Amy was great. She knows the neighbourhoods well and has a great knowledge about the business. Now 6 months later, we're as happy as can be and aside from having a great real estate agent we also have a friend. -Michelle Bradstock
