Prior to listing with Ron Neal, in the 10 weeks or
so our previous realtor was working for us, he brought zero offers and
only three or four showings.What a difference when your team took over! Listed on a Thursday - multiple showings and an offer on the Sunday.Wow- 3 Days!!!
A job very well done! ( We should have picked the best first though!)
Thanks, Andrew and Christine Hildred.

Shelley Mann was great. She knew what I wanted and knew we
had to act fast. Her advice was right on, and every bit of the purchase
went smoothly.
Thanks, Jude.

When
I decided to sell my condo I wanted more than simply having it listed.
I also wanted it to be marketed effectively and be kept informed about
showings, advertising and comments from other realtors. That is why I
chose Ron Neal who met all my expectations and sold it within $2.400 of
his recommended price.
I hadn't officially thanked you in writing for the wonderful service that I received from you. I found selling of my previous house very frustrating and time consuming. That was until I hired the right team.... the Ron Neal real estate team. Not only quick in selling my previous home at a fair price, but very helpful in finding me the perfect house that I'm in now. It has everything
I had on my "need to have list" as well as most things on my "would
like to have list". Peggy was very professional during both transactions
and knew exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly use the Ron
Neal team services in future and would recommend them to anyone
looking for the best deal. Unfortunately up until this point I have
had no friends looking to buy or sell a home. Of course the other big bonus was in having my name drawn at your annual customer appreciation picnic and winning the trip for two to Mexico, just for using
the right people to do the right job. When working with the Ron Neal
team, everyone's a winner!! Thank you very much for your past services. Valerie Foord

We
thank you and your most proficient team in helping us to sell our last
home so expediently last year in Saanichton. We are now nicely settled
into a town home, "The Gardens", Polo Park Estates. Again, thank you,
and we continue to pass on our experiences and recommend you to our
friends who are wanting to sell their home. Don & Vida Mann
Your team sold our home at 3901, Happy Valley Rd.
In Metchosin. This was quite a difficult property to sell, and we were
greatly impressed by the efficiency of the team, and above all the
honesty. Having had previous bad experiences with Realtors we were
quite nervous. But, everyone involved in the sale put us at our ease
and gained our confidence. The
property sold in 7 weeks and we were able to continue with our
retirement plans. Honesty and integrity were what we were looking for,
and we found it with your team. It restored our faith in human nature
after our previous bad experiences.
Bob and Anne Humphreys, Pincher Creek, Alberta.
A
few years ago I decided to sell a piece of property which had been
rented for seven years. The market was sluggish at the time and
although the property had a lot of good qualities, it had been somewhat
abused over the years and even with a fair amount of work, it still had
scars and needed to have its good points emphasized in order to be
sold. Ron made a few suggestions to me and his team did the rest. The
house was sold in a few weeks. Everything was handled smoothly and
competently throughout. Thanks, Ron!
We
decided to move up in the market with the purchase of our second home.
We had many hurdles: Our interest rate guaranteed by the bank was
expiring in a couple of months and the new interest rate was going to
put moving out of our reach. Although we looked at many homes, I was
really only interested in one and it was out of our price range until
it came down in price twice. Our home could only sell in time to a
developer client of Ron's who saw the potential for another home on the
lot but had to purchase a few feet off of our neighbour which he could
actually never use. This hurdle alone was amazing to pull off.
Everything came together in time to make the bank rate. We were already thrilled, what a guy. Crystal and Howard Harding
We are very glad to have a chance to write about our experience with you. You literally changed our lives. My husband was posted to one of the ship at Esquimalt base. We were offer a great opportunity to come back to Quebec.
We only had been in our condo for 8 months by that time and the market
was bad for condos. We actually tried with an other realtor with an
other company but in 3 months we only had 2 visits. A friend of my
husband told us about Ron and his team. We gladly went. We were really
empress with your team. Within days with had visitors. We were very
anxious to sell since we were moving at the end of July 95 and it was
only a month away. Ron reassured us by saying that we could do
everything long distance if we had to which is exactly what happened.
We sold our place and we able to build the house of our dreams. Now our
new baby daughter gets to grown near her family. We often speak of Victoria and how we wouldnât mind going back. Rest assure that if we do have such and opportunity we will contact you.
Sincerely Nathalie Drouin and Marc Fortin

We
selected the "Neal Estate Team" as our realtors because of your unique
"guaranteed sale" plan. I don't think you can put a price on the peace
of mind we felt, knowing that our home would sell, in a reasonable
length of time, for a fair price, no matter what. As
you will remember, our home sold in about 3 weeks, and I think this was
due to the fact that you had skilfully "read" the housing market, and
accurately determined the highest price we could get for a quick sale. Ron,
after all is said and done, the bottom line for us was RESULTS. We are
satisfied customers and we've told our friends that if you want a
dedicated, professional approach for a quick sale at a fair price, call
Ron Neal! Thank you, Liz and Stan Tyson

My wife and I moved to Vancouver
when I was offered a great short term job (5 years) with a major credit
union. After leaving on short notice we asked Ron Neal to sell our home
in Victoria.
He and his staff kept us well informed of what they were doing and
ended up getting us close to full price in a very slow market. Over the
years I have asked for additional real estate information and have
found his staff to be up to the task. We decided to return to Victoria and again asked Ron and his staff to find us a place. With much effort on their part we are again settled and back in Victoria.
Over the year I have recommended many people to you and your company
and will continue to do this in the future. We can only wish you
greater success in the future.
Best regards, Gary and Ingrid Shillington
When
you buy your first home, you describe a dream and a wish, most times
it's just not going to happen. With the Nealestate team they said it
would and they made sure it did. Describe your dream, keep your wish....
Thanks that all I can say, Shane Howe ===
RE/MAX
Ron Neal & Associates donates a portion of the proceeds of every
transaction to a charity of our choice. What a great idea! Bev Ellison ===
I
chose to work with you on my last sale and last purchase, not because
you are a client, but because I believed that you would give me the
best bang for my buck... and you did! During my purchase, you gave
great advice and your negotiation skills helped me pay a lower price
for the property than I could have otherwise. On the sale of my
property, your assistance gave the confidence to hold out for a higher
price than I would have on my own. Your professionalism and skills are
greatly appreciated.
I
was happy with the purchase of our home, and the professional manner in
which it was handle. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any
friends. Thanks, Bev Comeau
When
I found the condo " beyond my wildest dreams", I needed to get rid of
my home within days in order to seal the deal. I contacted Ron and
asked if he could purchase my home (that I had resided in for 35 years)
if he was unable to sell it. He assured me that he would, but within
days, he sold the house for a good price. I don't plan to use his
services again as I never want to leave my large condo and its
wonderful views. Ron, that last paragraph may not be to your liking,
but it is true! Thanks for the great service you rendered to me. I have
given your name to several of my friends when they talk about moving.
To this day, none have moved, but they do have your name along with my
good references!
Many
realtors have tried and many have failed....the only one real estate
broker that managed to succeed was you guess it.. Ron Neal and of
course his wonderful team of Nealites. I tried to sell my 12 suiter
for years and in this competitive business, only hard work and a bit
of luck can make it or break it for the client. I had a feeling Ron
was going to be the one who will sell my building. His easy going
style and his milded mannered sales pitch managed to convinced me that
perhaps I was dreaming a bit too high for my building. He managed to
convey to me that perhaps lowering it would do the trick. I tell you
, I am a hard person to convince to drop my price.... ask the other
brokers who tried. After suffering through my barrage of rebuttles ,
no's, no way jose's and get real Ron, somehow Clark Kent
managed to sooth my soul that Superman couldn't and I semi-reluctantly
drop my asking price. And within a week or two, it was sold. Ron Neal
is an ordinary person, a family man, a creative businessman. With his
boyish charm and quirky grin he will definitely come through. I know
a lot of good real estate agents out there and most of them are my
friends. It's just so happened that Ron was one of those good friends
out there that took the job and sold my building. Glad to help tell
others about you Ron.... Henry Low
When
I listed my condo for sale I was pleased with all the careful checking
you did to see that I would get the best price honestly. Ever since
the sale, your follow up was, and still is much appreciated!! Thank-you
for the good work.
Yours Truly, Eleanor Pearson

Although
we had ascertained that you came highly recommended, our main reason
for choosing you as our realtor was that you offered us a guaranteed
sale option, that if you couldnât sell our house, you would buy it from
us. This was especially important to us as we had already purchased and
moved into our new home and from a financial point of view, the
guaranteed sale option offered us peace of mind that we wouldnât have
to worry about financing two homes at the same time. The paperwork was
accomplished in a couple of days and we were able to sleep soundly
again!
You
and your team, and of course, the guaranteed sale option, made all the
difference to us. Weâre satisfied customers and have been recommending
you to our friends.
Stanley and Elizabeth Tyson

We
want to thank you for the excellent professional honest service in
selling our house. It was always a pleasure to deal with you and all
your associates. Your guaranteed sale option has contributed greatly to
our peace of mind when purchasing our present house. As it turned out
we did not have to take advantage of your offer, since you were able to
sell our house in a much shorter period of time than we expected. It
was nice to know that your guaranteed sale option was always there in
case we needed it.
Thank you again for your service, Sincerely Andy and Sally Tyroler

Thank
you for all the extras you did, like getting me into my house when I
forgot my key (twice). I feel it was beyond the call of duty. Many

We
found his Guaranteed Purchase Plan comforting, and in the end it
indirectly benefited our sale. His buy-out of our purchaserâs townhouse
thus facilitated our transaction. We would have no hesitation to use
Ronâs services in future endeavours. His honesty, efficiency and
professionalism was greatly appreciated and to this end we would
recommend his services to anyone in the real estate market.
Yours Truly, Harry Demchuk

Our
one concern when listing with you was the attention we would receive
given how busy you and your team are. As it turned out, we neednât have
worried.. Dealing with your team was like dealing with a family of
friends â everyone immediately knew who we were and went out of their
way to help us when we called with questions or requests. You gave us
all the time we needed to talk about issues and to see potential homes.
Though we knew you were very busy, you never made us feel like you had
to be doing something else. We always felt like we were your most
important customers.
Besides
the excellent service offered by The Neal Estate Team, we were
impressed with the quick sale of our condominium and the purchase of
our new home. We feel we received a fair price for the condominium and
that we were able to negotiate an equally good one on the new home.

We
just wanted to take a moment to thank you Ron, and all of your staff,
for the tremendous job you did for us. You really worked as a team to
make us happy. I remember saying to Brian at one point, I know Ron and
his team must be very busy, but I feel like we are their only customers. They are always there when you need them. Thank you so much for everything!

Dear Ron,
I wish to thank you for the great service that I received in
the selling of my condominium in Victoria on Hillside Avenue. Your
representative, was more than helpful in all aspects. I really depended
on his knowledge. He kept myself and my Aunt well informed of
everything that was taking place, all the way down the line from the
time I contacted him to the final farewell when all was done. I have no
negative comments whatsoever, and can honestly say that I would never
hesitate to recommend Ron Neal and his team.
Thanks again, Betty Dousett.
We were 100% satisfied with our experience. Their
professionalism and knowledge were both extensive and they were always
lovely to deal with. Our buying agent was especially a pleasure with
her "go get em" attitude. She was very effective in sharing her
criticisms but never overwhelmed us. We were lucky to have her as our
buying agent. Thanks for everything!
Peter Fraser and Jaime Nelson.
To Ron Neal and The Neal Estate Team,
We would like to say thank you, from Bea and Claude Bell, for
the service you provided with our dealing with you on our recent
purchase. Shelley Mann looked after our interests above and beyond her
call of duty, to her job and you. She was a very happy and pleasant
young woman to work with. We will highly and gladly recommend you in
any way we can in the future.
Sincerely, Bea and Claude Bell.
First let us apologize as this letter is long overdue.
After a month of windstorms, power outages, and the holidays, we
finally have a chance to sit down, collect our thoughts and put them on
paper.
We would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful room
at the Empress Hotel you arranged for us. The view of the inner
harbour from our room was fantastic! When we arrived, we were also
surpised with a gift basket from your group in the room - what a
treat! We somehow managed to make our way through the whole bottle of
sparkling wine before heading downstairs to Aaron's Christmas
party..how nice not to have to drive!
Just when we thought our experience with your group
couldn't get any better, you proved it could. Not only did you do a
great job with the sale of the house, but you have made us feel valued
as clients. Although we don't plan on selling our current home anytime
soon, you can be sure that we'll recommend you to anyone we know who is
looking for a realtor. You have definately earned our loyalty!
All the best in 2007. Best regards, Cary and Aaron Drabitt
You did a great job... above and beyond the call of duty! After
the sale offered to come and help me out, and have helped fix things
for me already. Thanks!
Much appreciated! Barry Andruschak.
I would just like to say "Thank you, thank you", for the
wonderful service of you and your company and especially Shelley Mann.
Shelley was most attentive and friendly, nothing seemened to be
insurmountable all problems were taken care of immediately in a
professional way. I would recommend you and your team any time I am
able. I have told all my friends how happy I was. Happy Christmas to
all and a great New Year.
God Bless, Thelma Clark.
We bought our first house and we were incredibly pleased with
our choice!! Initially we were not totally convinced we were seriously
looking and your buying agent was the selling agent on a house that was
really pie in the sky for us. In comparing that house with others we
fell in love with another house and eventually asked to help us with
the offer. She suggested we look at a few more which was a good idea,
but only solidified our love for the one we bought. She then negotiated
a very reasonable price for us and has since been key in helping us get
a new roof on the house (prior to possession) since it has developed a
leak with all the crazy storms we have had. She is easy to talk to and
has held our hands through the somewhat overwhelming ordeal of the
first house. She makes it clear exactly what we need to do and when,
and has had everything we need taken care of done very promptly. I
have already recommended her to others who are hoping to get in the
market early next year!
Thanks, Erin Annandale & Darrin Marr
Thank you Ron Neal Estate Team!
We have had a very stressful year as my husband had to start a new job in Calgary, AB. The children and myself had to stay in Victoria
until the start of the school year. A total of 5 months We started
with one real estate company with no success. We even waited 2 weeks to
have subjects removed and found out the buyers were not pre-approved.
What a waste of time. We decided we needed to change agents so we could
say it must have been the company not the house. I do not want to
mention names but a low percentage company may not be the best route. We
phoned and told our story. Said would try best to sell the house
quicklyÂ, called us several times to keep me updated which was a change
from the first real estate company. There were several showings and a
few open houses, gave us ideas on how to market our house. After many
phone calls and negotiations our house sold in less than 3 months.
Subjects were removed in a week and possession date was completed in
one month, recommended a lawyer that quickly had papers transferred to Calgary which made the process easier and faster as well. A company like RE/MAX works many hours and with many different angles.
Thank you again, Michelle, Clayton and children.
I loved the personal attention that Shelley offered. I found her
both professional & very personable. The Team approach was great
because I knew that there was always someone to help me. I would &
have suggested your office to my friends.
Thanks, Patti Dyck
Thank you very much. We just wanted a recent print out of local
real estate, but your straight forward, no nonsense approach sold us by
the end of our first meeting. Not only was the advice and suggestions
you gave us reliable and sound, but your professionalism and demeanor
was greatly appreciated. You helped us find the perfect house for us
and when we have it fixed up, you're more than welcome to stop in for a
celebrating drink!
Thanks again, Jeremy & Stana
Was a great help to us in our search for a house. We had 5 days to
find and buy a house. He set up viewings in very short time, usually
for the next day and had valuable insights into localities and life in
general in Victoria. We came here from Ontario
so it was a bit of an adjustment. Kept in touch with us after we
bought the house to apprise us of changes and work progress. I would
recommend him to others in military families. He also did a good job
putting up with the noise from our two little ones!
Thank you, all is well so far. Take care, Colleen Roberts
I have been in my house for three months now and it's beginning to feel like a home.
This, my first house purchasing experience, was an excellent
experience. Thank you for taking me through this process from
beginning to end with ease and often enjoyment. As most people know
buying a house in Victoria
can be competitive, fast and furious. My experience was no different.
Shelley was "on it" every moment answering my call/emails promptly;
meeting with me when needed; keeping me up to date with what was going
on with the market and closing the deal on the house I wanted. Shelley
met and exceeded my expectations of a realtor. I think she really
cared that I got the home I wanted and that meant a lot.
Thank you Shelley. I know you will continue to do well because you put your all into what you do.
All the best in the future, Sincerely, Michelle Leo
When I phoned to enquire about listing my condo I was assigned to
Shelley Mann. She came promptly and was dressed in an executive suit
and was most informative and professional. Our subsequent meetings
were less formal but we came to know each other and our expectations.
We settled on a price and date of possession and she got me what I had
asked for in two days! Of course I am happy with the result.
Catherine Shantz.
My husband and I recently bought our very fist home in Campbell River! We used a realtor from The Neal Estate Team in Victoria. We looked to buy in Victoria
for over a year and a half and realized we couldn't afford what we
needed. Our agent was very patient with us and worked with us for the
entire time. We viewed dozens of houses not only in Victoria
but 3 hours up island as well. He was there. He was reliable,
dependable, and trustworthy and never pressured us. He listened to us
and was extremely communicative and worked with us until our needs were
met. He was present during each home inspection and answered all our
questions regarding financing and put us in touch with all the right
people to seal the deal. Finding the right house was a little like a
roller coaster ride, but with him it was easy to relax, stay calm and
enjoy the ride. We will definitely work with you again. We thank him
for all his extra hard work and the high quality of professionalism he
served us with. We will refer you to all of our friends
Cheers, Velle and Aaron Whitman
