Dear May-Ling & The Love Team

Buying your first home is not exactly rocket science but it's close.

If you are looking for a real estate agent that is up to this challenge, look no further, May-Ling makes for an excellent choice.

Right from the beginning when I started to survey the market to the final steps of closing the deal and beyond May-Ling has provided me with exceptional service. Instead of trying to close a deal quickly, she never tired showing another home. Yet, when I found the perfect place, May-Ling was there to make that offer and negotiate the best possible price.

I have been very satisfied with May-Ling services as my real estate agent. It has been a pleasure to work with her. I always carry a couple of her business cards in my wallet, so that I may pass on her contact information to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Thank you, May-Ling.

Dear Derek and Love Team:

At last a long overdue note of thanks to you for the fabulous job you did selling our house on Claude Ave in Burnaby.  Your incredible energy, knowledge of the market, and sense of timing resulted in our house being sold within days for more money than we had dared to hope for.  Another record breaking sale for Derek Love!  We count ourselves lucky to have had the chance to work with you, and recommend you to everyone we know.

Dear Derek,

Thanks for everything you've done for me recently.  This is the 3rd transaction my family and I have done with you in 2005 and fall 2006. Although I know it is part of your job, to me you went above and beyond.  Your honesty, diligence, thoughtfulness, and friendship makes me all the more proud I have you for a Realtor and most of all a friend.

                                                                                                           Take care,

Dear Love Team:

To whom it may concern:

We just wanted to send a very heartfelt Thank- You  for all you guys have done for us. Derek and Gary's professionalism and dedication was greatly appreciated.  You made us feel like so much more than just clients... we felt like a good friend was helping us, and you always had our best interest at heart.

Before meeting you Derek, we were extremely discouraged about ever finding a house in Coquitlam that would fit all of our many wants and needs.  You immediately understood the specifications we were looking for in a home and worked diligently over many months to help find something perfect for our family.  Derek was so confident that the ideal home was out there.... and he found it!

We were very anxious over the logistics of purchasing a home and also selling our existing home in the Government Rd area at the same time. We greatly appreciated the time and effort that went into working with both the buyers and sellers to ensure that the dates and timing for each transaction worked for us. Also, Gary sold our home with multiple offers getting us top dollar and our dates.

The Love Team managed to exceed our expectations and we would be honoured to be included as references for your future clients.

                                                                                                                 Sincerely,
                                                                                               John and Mary Allen, Oct 2006  

Dear Derek Love,

It was awesome working with you this year in helping us sell our condo on  Edmonds in Burnaby! We had it for sale for 2 months with another Realtor who let us down and then you were referred to us by a friend, and you sold our condo in less than 2 weeks. I would recommend you in a heart beat! Thank you for all you did for us, putting confidence in us and putting up with all our stress!

                                                                                                             Thanks again,

                                                                                                         -   Jackie   May 2006                     

Dear Derek,

My husband and I would like to thank-you very much for the excellent service you provided in selling our home at 56 Eddie Drive in New Westminster in the late summer of 2005. When we decided to retire and move away from the city, my biggest concern was to find the right Realtor to sell our home, which was our pride and joy for many, many years.

Through personal recommendations and looking at the local sellers in the area, I asked three top Realtors to come for an interview. Even though, all three agents evaluated our home about the same price range, I wanted someone who was going to work hard for us, have excellent communications and keep us posted on what was happening.

Derek, you filled those shoes in every way. You got us a very good price, you showed our home with pride each and every time, you were very enthusiastic and your professionalism was top notch. We had some issues that should not have been yours to resolve, but you were right in there and handled them without any concern.

Again, thank-you Derek.  We would like to wish you all the success and best of luck in the future.

Dear Carsten,

Thank you so much for a great first experience in real estate!! You've been a wonderful help from the beginning to (first) end, and I look forward to setting up home in my new place.

To whom it may concern:

I am delighted to write this letter of recommendation for Realtor, Derek Love. I have written it because of my extremely positive experience in buying my condo in Vancouver and more importantly, the role Derek played in making my dream a reality.

I confess to previously having held Realtors in the same regard as insurance salespeople, awarding trust with a huge grain of salt. Having been a salesperson, I am aware of the balance of consumer interests and running my own business. I also have a heightened awareness of customer service, as this is what my profession entails.

Derek was introduced to me through a friend and his warm personality struck me instantly. Through the course of finding and then purchasing a home, I grew to trust Derek immensely.  I was protected in a realm where alone I felt exposed, and I never felt that my interests were compromised. If anything, I felt that Derek was working hard to protect them and not just sell me a home to close a sale.  He was very honest with me and made sure that I based my decision on logic rather than pure emotion: I appreciated that because I can be susceptible to emotional purchases.

Derek was professional, organized, personable, patient and trustworthy.  He was pro active in seeking out new listings in this HOT market and the history of the building and its sales. If he hadn't been so pro active in in his handling of my sale, I may have missed out on what has become my beautiful dream home.

I have been very pleased with my business transaction with Love Realty/Coldwell Banker, but most importantly with Derek's personal effort and support.

                                                                             - Ann L. McCutcheon

Hi Derek,

Things are great - we absolutely love the townhouse you sold us this summer 2005. Thanks again for all your hard work and patience. I know we asked al ot of questions, but you eased our nerves and made everything happen so painlessly. We'll definitely be recommending you to any of our friends or family who are looking to sell or purchase a home.

                                                                                  - Harpreet and Ray Dosanj

Carsten,

Thank-you so much for all you've done. Ash and I couldn't be happier with our new home!  We have great respect for the job you've done for us. We truly feel that there are two things you need to have with your realtor and that is: trust and cofidence. We felt so confident in your abilities and we completely trusted you with such a financial commitment and the proof is in the pudding.

You got us almost our asking price (the highest so far in the complex) in a record time and for more than assessed value and you got us our new home for less than we thought we would have to spend, for less than assessed value and for a house that was more than we hoped for. Thank-you again, we are incredibly grateful!

                                                                                    Warmest regards,

                                                                                -Jen and Ash Engele

Hello Derek,

We are so happy that we bought the house on Schoolhouse in Nov. 2005, and especially happy that you helped make it happen. Ruth is renovating her apartment and we hope to call you in about a month to sell it for us. We have started 
to move things including plants and trees. The garage is being gutted and the whole top floor will be re-done as well, including the kitchen. Thank you so much for all that you have done for us.
                                                                         

                                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                                                                    -   Ruth and Dirk

Dear Derek,

Thank you so much for finding us our 'dream home' in Deercrest Townhouse complex in Bby. You were amazing to work with and we will definitely recommend you to everyone we know.

                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                        - Danny Amado & Crestina Minichiello

Mr. Derek Love,

My husband and I would both like to thank-you very much for the excellent service you have provided selling our home in Coquitlam on Madore Ave. Your enthusiasm and professionalism made the whole event run smoothly. The fact that you sold our home in less than one week is a testimonial to your great efforts on our behalf.

I have already offered your name as a contact to two people at my employment who are looking to sell their homes.... and I have recommended your services.

Thank-you again Derek... you were a great help. Very best wishes for the future.

- Lesley & Zoltan T. Kiss

Gary,

We would like to thank you for the excellent service that you provided for us during the recent sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. We really appreciate the professionalism and hard work it takes to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.

Dear Loveleen Lohia (manager),

We recently had the opportunity to work with Derek Love in the purchase of our first home. We found Derek to be an extremely dedicated, hardworking, and reliable Realtor. We were impressed by his determination to help us find the home that met all of our requirements.

Derek made himself very available to us and was very generous with his time. He was keen to show us all the appropriate options before assisting us in our decision. Even on days when we ourselves became frustrated, he was always enthusiastic, supportive, and resourceful.

We appreciated his extensive knowledge of the real-estate market and also his helpful renovation suggestions. The next time we are in need of a Realtor, we will definitely choose Derek Love again and would highly recommend his services to anyone who is considering buying a home.

- Cher Hill & Rob McTavish

Dear Carsten,

Jeneen and I are so pleased with the outcome of our first real estate experience! We are now the proud owners of a beautiful home with big thanks to you! You made us feel secure and did not rush us into making a decision, but gave us all the information that we needed so we could make an informed decision. From beginning to end you had all the bases covered and made sure that nothing unexpected came up.

                                                                                       All the best,

                                                                                   - David and Jeneen Stange

Dear Derek,

THank you so much for all the help on taking us around to find our home in Port Coquitlam on Flint St.  Once all the renos are done you will have to come over and have a couple of cocktails with us.

                                                                                                       Thanks again,

                                                                                                                                         - Cody and Jen Pritchet

Dear Gary,

I would like to thank you for being so generous and kind to our family. The microwave oven is perfect in size and colour for our new kitchen. With almost every 'ding', we are reminded how pleasant it was to do business with you. Gary, we are pleased that the sale of our old house went so smoothly and quickly; it was difficult to move from such a well loved home and neighborhood. Thank you also for the wonderful print. It is a perfect souvinier and will always remind us, with nostalgia, of our happy times living in Burnaby.

We wish you and your family much health and happiness and hope we will be lucky enough to be seeing more of you all in the future.

                                                                                       Steve and Phylis Siu

Dear Gary and Derek,

Just want to drop you this note to let you know how much we love this home and how grateful we are for your assistance. We appreciate your part very much. As you know, we are first time buyers.

I believe that God has used you in a way to help us work through many hurdles. As His servant, I always find Him leading us all the time. Every morning when I wake up, I open my blinds and the sun just shines right in. I praise Him for this wonderful place. I drive by your house and I thank God for you!

Keep up your good work. See you around!

- Edwin & Daisy Kong and Francis and Emily

Dear Gary,

Don and I want to thank you for everything. We appreciate all the time and patience you took to sell our house. We are basically settled in here and everything so far seems very nice. Please drop in and see us. The coffee is always hot.

Our best wishes to you and your family.

- Maxime & Don

Dear Gary,

Just a note to let you know I am comfortably settling in to my "new old house" - with lots of work ahead restoring my "family" heritage home. Its great fun to go back to the era of the '40's and attempt to re-create the mood of the olden days! I was so delighted to return home yesterday to discover the treasure you left for me -- what a fitting addition for all the precious memories held here!

My time in Burnaby was a very specail time in our family life

- I thank you from the bottom of my heart -

- Joyce

Dear Gary,

Sorry to be so long in dropping you this note. Jan and I feel that of all the realtors we have met, you are head and shoulders above them all! We are more than pleased to recommend you to our friends and you certainly are first and foremost in our list whenever we move again.

Many thanks for your thoughtfulness.

- Jan and Jerard

To whom it may concern,

Recently, we had the priviledge of enjoying the services of Derek Love in the sale of our home as well as in the purchase of a new home. Derek was unfailingly punctual and courteous. He selected many properties for our viewing based on our wishes and desires. The result was an excellent selection from which we chose a new 2 bedroom and den condominium development.

His recommendation made our choice an easy one. He was also invaluable in the sale of our home in Burnaby. His participation in a number of open houses and showings played a large part in the eventual successful sale of our home. We liked Derek, his approach and manner made our sale and subsequent purchase a very pleasant experience. We wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.
