Hi Claude & Dal,

We just wanted to let you guys know that we really appreciate the planning, staging and other steps you took us through that helped sell our home in record time - less that 30 days!!! Dal, you had the patience to show us so many homes, put up with our "mood swings" and work with us within the short timelines to find us our dream home.

We appreciate Team Claude's sincerity, work ethic, experience, patience and expert guidance and would have no hesitation recommending you guys to any of our family and friends. As the saying goes, "experience cannot be bought it's acquired over the years" and Team Claude you demonstrated that you have loads of experience!!!

Hi Claude & Laura,

Selwyn and I would like to express our gratitude for finding the perfect place for us. We thanked you guys for all the help and hard work you've done for us, and for accommodating us to attend to our needs even at such a short notice. It only shows how professional you are in doing business with people. If ever we sell or buy another house in the future, we exactly know who to count on, Team Claude at Re/Max Performance Realty. We are very happy at what we got.

From Janet & Selwyn

Good evening Claude, 

Thank you very much for all your help back in 1999 when Sarah and I moved from New Westminster up to Kamloops. We couldn't have done it without your expertise, knowledge and hard work!

We are still in Kamloops, and have graduated to a single family home in the Aberdeen area. We plan on raising our two little girls here, and probably won't be looking at Real Estate until they are ready to move out. If they decide to move to the Coast, we will be certain to look you up again. 

Very best regards, 

Bryce E.

Connie & Claude,

Thanks again for making this happen for Toni and Shane today. I know you both worked diligently in the background to make this come to fruition. Not too many people go that extra mile these days...you both did...and we appreciate it.

Cheers Brian & Jan

Dear Team Claude,

I just want to drop you a note to let you know how much I appreciate all the work you, Laura and your Team did on our behalf. You not only sold our house for a good price, but helped me buy the one and only house I really wanted at a low price. You went the extra mile for me. I know that this has been the most strenuous transaction you have dealt with over your twenty years as a Realtor. Because of forces outside yours and my control it often seemed as though this move would never happen. You never gave up, but rather just dug in and made sure it all went together. During that time you also took the time to keep me informed through the whole process. I want you to know that I will recommend you to any of my family or friends when ever the opportunity arises. This has been the best service I have ever received from a Realtor.

Thank you again, Shane.

Hi Claude,

Thank you so much for making the sale of my condo happen. I know in this market it has not been easy, but you and your Team were there for me every time, and gave me excellent advise. Once again, Thank You!! And it was a pleasure doing business with you and your Team. I would make sure everyone who is buying or selling would know about the excellent service you provide.

Thank you again, Azita.

 Laura and Claude make a fantastic Team! We owe a big thank you to them for selling our townhome and buying our first single family home. Team Claude provided the expertise and patience that made a big life step, a very positive experience for us. When we first met Claude, we quickly became aware of how lucky we were to find hime because of his vast knowledge and experienced in the industry. Although we were nervous about selling our townhome, Claude was very patient and understanding of our decisions. We couldn't believe how fast Claude was able to sell our townhome and for a great price! Then we met Laura whose enthusiasm and flexibility made that buying process a very enjoyable experience for us. She was always eager to show us the next place and was never once concerned about the location, so we dragged her from Vancouver to Tsawwassen, Delta, and Surrey, ,in all sorts of inclement weather! Laura was outgoing, honest, and sensitive to our needs. We were amazed at how quickly and conveniently Laura made viewing appointments for us. Laura is highly professional, smart, knowledgeable and was most of all, dedicated to finding us the perfect home...and she did it!

We are extremely happy with our new home and we feel lucky to have met Laura and Claude, who provided an outstanding service beyond our expectations. Laura and Claude are truly leaders in British Columbia's Lower Mainland Real Estate Industry.

-Erik & Heather C.

Hi Claude,

Just a quick note to let you know the transition at the house went well over the past week or so. I would like to thank you for the fantastic job you did selling the house during these tough economic times. That's especially apparent when I still see "for sale" signs on properties that were on the market months before we listed. That was greatly appreciated!

-Dan S.

Claude and the Team, Just a short note to let you know how we felt about the process of selling our house and the service we received from your team. Claude, you have helped us a number of times over the years as well as our son. We have always appreciated the fact that we can always get in touch with your or your team. You always keep us informed and give us feedback quickly. As usual, lots of advertising, good guidance from you, and strong negotiations got our house sold quickly and at a good price. Thank you so much,
- Barb & Corny

To Claude and the Team, Debbie and I would like to let you know how much we are grateful for the work you and the team did on our behalf.

Dear Laura and Claude and the Team, 

Jenny and I would like to thank you again for your help in finding our new home.  The service you provided was above and beyond our expectations.  From working to accommodate our busy schedules when viewing properties, to providing packing materials for our move, the service level provided was outstanding.  I would certainly recommend "Claude and the Team" from Remax Performance Realty to anyone looking to purchase a new home. Regards,             -Ryan & Jenny

To: Claude and the Team  Re: Great Service  Claude, first and foremost, thank you very much to you and your team for all of your success in getting Nadia and I into our “first” new home. We could not have done it without your expertise.  I know that for many years, you have helped my mother and father buy and sell many homes.  They have been very loyal to you, and now I know why.  You have been very loyal to them and now to us.  Integrity, commitment, and punctuality are just a few words to describe not just you , but your team as well.  I was shocked to know that on one occasion we talked you were in Disneyworld!!! Now that’s serious dedication to your customers and your job. I am glad that you take some well deserved time to spend with your family.  Nothing is more important than your family. While you were away, your team quickly jumped into action, faxing, phoning and delivering.  We are now in our new home and our family could not be happier with our purchase. I am glad to have heard from you since the sale and know that you truly care about my family and our well being.  Thank you again for your commitment and your follow through. Your team has gone above the call of duty.   Nadia and I will continue to share our exceptional experience and recommend you to all of our family and friends. Truly thankful, - Keith, Nadia Noah, Tayah and Baby to be!

To Claude and the Team:  Just a note to express our thanks for doing a great job on marketing our home.  We appreciate the professional manner in which you handled the sale.  We also liked the fact that you gave us enough time when you were having a showing of our home. We would gladly recommend you to our friends and neighbours!

Sincerely,  -Diane & Dieter

Dear Claude and the Team,   I would like to let you know that your tremendous efforts made the purchase of my first home a great success.  Claude, you gave me the confidence I needed while making decisions that I have never had to make before.  Having lived in my new home for the past month, I am delighted to tell you that I am truly happy with my new home.  Please thank your team for me, it really touched my heart when you all came to the rescue, and cleaned my new home for me at the last minute before I moved in.  That saved the day for me and you have gained a client for life. Thanks again Claude and your amazing team,      -Alan

To Claude and the Team & Re/Max Realty,  Claude, congratulate yourself for putting together such a hardworking and dedicated team of Real Estate professionals.  Your exemplary understanding of the market has again made the sale and purchase of our fourth home with you a wonderful and reassuring experience.  The complete package, from the never ending information we received from Isabella and Alysha, to the many long hours spent with Laura searching for the perfect home, down to the last number crunching nights with you, was incredible.  We are and always will be appreciative of all your hard work.  We particularly liked the little touches like the new home business cards.  A special thanks to Connie whom we had a total blast with redecorating for our first showings (sorry I still think the cow’s head should have stayed in the box!)  We are still in the middle of organizing and decorating, but once the rain has stopped and the sun is out you will all be guests for the first barbeque of 2006.  We will be able to then use the beautiful house-warming gift you gave us.  The services of the interior decorator was a terrific bonus and unexpected.     Again, many thanks for a job very well done.     -Wayne & Susan

To whom it may concern:  Re:  Outstanding performance given by Claude and the Team  Having to communicate and co-ordinate from the USA I selfishly had the peace of mind that Claude and his Team scored beyond 100% in our grade book! His overall presence was one of a family member taking part in the setting as he carried it with aplomb. He went beyond his line of duty in buying our new home and selling our old one. My journey with selling and buying has never been so smooth, pleasant and flawless. Our deepest thanks to you and your team for helping us through a potentially difficult situation and for ensuring we receive on going care and support.  We give you our highest possible recommendation – in our eyes Claude and the Team are shining stars!  Together Everyone Achieves More!  Sincerely,

-Shakila and Sheeba

The thing that stood out the most besides the excellent service, was the ease of how you handled everything for me. I felt like I didn't have to do anything in order to purchase my first home...just show up and sign the papers. Thanks so much, Dear Laura and Claude and the Team   Daniel

Dear Claude and the Team,    We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation and gratitude for the excellent service your provided in helping us with the sale of our condo and with the purchase of the home of our dreams.  We are incredibly satisfied with the ease of the transition.  We felt that we could count on you, and you were always available to answer any questions and allay any concerns we may have encountered.   We were also very impressed with the way Laura handled the negotiations on both the sale and the purchase.  We felt that we could put our trust in Laura with great confidence and she did not let us down.  Laura was kind and sincere and yet at the same time retained a level of professionalism that was very impressive and refreshing.  Laura, we thank you for a job very well done.    We would like Isabella and Alysha to know that we appreciate their assistance with the administrative duties and their availability to answer questions.    We will be sure to recommend Claude and the Team to any friends, family and associates when their needs for a Realtor arise.    Thank you again for the exceptional service you have provided.    Sincerely,
-Gerald and Marnie

Dear Claude and the Team, 

Terry and I were very impressed with the care and help that you gave us during the sale of our condo.   We found that you were all very caring, polite, and helpful.   We would look forward to having you represent us should we decide to sell again.   -Marjorie & Terry

Dear Claude’s Team,

From the very first meeting to the final sale & purchase of my new home, I was always impressed by your EXTRA outstanding service!  Thank you all so very much, you make my life a whole lot easier!              -Doris

To Claude and the team,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for their exceptional teamwork and success at making our life changing move a transition that will be memorable and pleasant. We had some rough bits but Claude hung in there and did not get too frustrated with our anxieties and kept on encouraging us until he found us a great place and got our house sold within the same week. Thank you so much Claude, Marissa, Wendy and the rest of the team.    -Colette & Mike Gibson

It’s My Move - It’s Your Move...

Recently, we decided to sell our hobby farm and purchase a residential property which is better suited to our current lifestyle.  We have a comprehensive understanding of the desired area and ventured out to view the current listing.  Unfortunately, the first seven properties we looked at were all sold, and these facts were only revealed after waiting for a call back from each listing agent.  While considering our plight, we quickly realized that our market knowledge and available time were limited to be successful in this Real Estate market, we must speed up the examination process.  We needed a professional Realtor with associates who provide expedient service coupled with a keen understanding of market dynamics in both Delta and Surrey.  Our research leads us to Claude and his Team at Re/Max Realty, Delta.  On initial contact Claude introduced his team who then quickly and systematically assembled their work sheets and started evalutaing and researching our purchase requirements.  In a remarkably short period of time, Claude’s team presented us with their comprehensive Real Estate findings.  The recommended properties viewed were excellent and a decision was made.  We selected a home which best addresses our domestic needs and a home which is a very stable investment. as a result, we are very happy living in a wonderful home.  Claude’s professonal services and attention to detail, helped guide us to a very rewarding purchase.  Ina and I encourage you to try the Claude experience.  When it was our time to move, we truly benefited from "Claude and the Team" and now...it’s your time to make a move.  Good luck to you.  Sincerely yours,  Wayne & Ina

Claude, Thank you for selling our condo.  We had four accepted offers which all fell through as purchasers did not get mortgages approved.  You never gave-up, you kept marketing aggressively and re-assuring us that it would sell - and it did!  The condo world well above the asking price and in record time.  Well done again!  As you will recall, you sold our other condo a couple of years ago in a very slow market. I Would recommend you to anyone planning on selling or buying.  Thanks to you & your Team,  Bob & Lorraine

Special Thanks from the Rothdram’s in the Crescent… 

To Claude and the Team,

Just a follow-up note to express our sincere appreciation for the fabulous job you did in orchestrating the selling of our home (and in the purchasing of our townhouse.)  Indeed it was a most memorable experience for both of us.  Claude, you really did a great job in the listing & marketing of our home (particularly with the photos and 360 views).  Please on-pass a Special Thanks to Connie for her attention to detail in the staging of our home.  We both feel that these activities set our home apart from the other properties in the Boundary Park market (it also proves that if you perform these functions well, as your team did, one can obtain better than market pricing).  We’d also like to express our thanks for relieving all of the anxieties and stresses involved during the selling & buying period.  (ie. Negotiating acceptance dates for our move, providing us with a “moving starter kit” that included boxes & change of address package, etc…).  Despite the fact that you were indeed very busy with our clients you always returned your calls promptly.  We were most impressed with your creativity in doing business as a team.  We both experienced why this approach has proven so successful for you.  A good example was while you were away.  Laura, your associate, provided seamless continuity with all the above mentioned activities (special thanks to Laura for “going the extra” in arranging to obtain the keys earlier than originally agreed upon).  Best wishes for the continued success of you & your team.

 -Genuinely,  Bob & Cory
