Client Testimonials

As newcomers to Canada and also first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about what was involved in the process of buying a house. Maria supported and guided us towards taking this important step, showing us confidence and lessening our anxiety. She was also able to identify issues that we weren’t able to see, and, when needed, Maria gave us recommendations for trusted experts. Counting on Maria’s energetic demeanour, enthusiasm and market knowledge was essential for having a smooth and happy experience as first-time home buyers.

At the end of October, we found Maria after clicking a few online searches. She contacted us and suggested a meet up to see what our plans were in regards to our home search. At this point we weren’t looking for anything in particular or even sure this was the right time for us to be home searching as Christmas was just around the corner.

We met with Maria and her bubbly personality and no pressure approach really won us over. She touched base with us every week to see if there were more properties we were interested in to see on the weekends.

We really felt that we were her priority. She was always available for our questions … email, texts, phone calls you name it.

Eventually, we narrowed down our search. As newlyweds, we were wanting a space to expand. Even though we loved our one-bedroom condo we wanted a yard for our dog and entertainment space. Maria helped us to find our dream house; subjects removed just in time for Christmas.

The next step was to sell our condo. Here, again, she helped to prepare us to what the market was like and to make sure our expectations were on par. With her team at Faith Wilson group they ensured my property was perceived beautifully and marketed to all the real estate venues. I was super happy with how amazing my suite looked in person as well as on paper. It was sold in less than a week.

I want to thank you, Maria, for all the care and attention you expressed to us … to our little family.

SHEILA, DREW, AND OUR PUPPY BECCA

I have used Maria Kritikos as my Real Estate Agent for many years.

One of my “must haves” for working with anyone in any capacity is a positive attitude. Maria is the definition of this! She is incredibly knowledgeable in Real Estate, always enthusiastic about showing homes, contagiously optimistic and sees the end goal which is selling your home for top dollar.

I recommend everyone to Maria for their listings. Maria is my “go to” real estate agent. She is without a doubt one of the top agents in the Lower Mainland. I am so grateful for all the successful sales and purchases Maria has mastered for me! Thank you Maria!!

Shelagh Seadon, Founder of Working The Room (Home Stager)

Not from the Vancouver area myself, I found Maria online through a Google search and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Maria was friendly, highly knowledgeable about Vancouver and Vancouver’s Real estate. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating in scheduling viewings. We were on a short time frame and she was so on top of every minute. Maria made our short trip so enjoyable and easy. I felt so comfortable with her expertise and friendly manner. Throughout the process and from our first contact she was professional and responded quickly whether by email, text or phone call. Moreover, she is highly attentive to detail, so much so that she takes the stress and worry out of the buying process. Bottom line – I can’t imagine having a more positive experience and recommend Maria without reservation to anyone looking to buy in this stressful market. Thanks you Maria, you make purchasing easy and stress free. I really appreciate all that you did and I thank you for making me feel valued as a client, Jacqueline.

Kind Regards

Jacqueline

The team members at Faith Wilson Group have an exceptional talent for conducting themselves in a professional manner, providing expert guidance throughout the entire brokering process, and representing our best interests in both the buying and selling of my family’s properties.  Each FWG member is skilled at preparing the required paperwork in advance, keeping us updated on the showing results, and executing successful offers.  We would like to highlight these skilled specialists who assisted us throughout the successful sale of our property.

Initially, Michelle promptly gave us comparables for our review and based on these market values, we assessed a competitive selling price.  Then, we met with Michelle who presented us with the agreement paperwork, guided us throughout the entire brokering process, and explained all details in an easy-to-follow manner.  We were completely confident in having Michelle represent our best interests to potential buying parties.

The next step involved Peter and Mike arriving at our property on time and setting up with optimal lighting and arrangement presentations.  Mike photographed our unit and edited the media package that presented our property in a bright, aesthetic style.  Then, Melanie and Peter ensured that our property listing was well-developed, organized, attractive, and free from errors.  We were able to obtain a proof of the listing prior to official launch, and we were especially pleased with the professional presentation of our property.

Then throughout the showing process, property specialists Olga and Michelle arrived punctually each time and professionally greeted the potential buying parties.  Olga and Michelle ensured that we were promptly updated on the showing results and also followed-up with each buying party afterwards to assess if any of them intended to present offers.

Shortly after a series of open houses, one particular party showed sincere interest and presented a formal offer.  Immediately following, Faith and Michelle contacted us with the good news, reviewed the terms and conditions of sale, and provided their expert opinion.  Having been satisfied with the offering, we accepted the formal offer, and Faith and Michelle executed the required paperwork.  Even though at the time we were overseas, the process was simple, straight-forward, and successfully completed online.

With the completion of the sale, my family also worked with Mina who assisted us in the search for a new property.  Mina conducted all viewings with us and helped to present our formal offer.  We were glad to have Mina enforce our conditions of purchase.

Through their relentless hard work and dedication, the team members at Faith Wilson Group captured what we wanted out of the sale and purchase of properties.  Should there be an opportunity for the purchasing and selling of other properties in the future, we intend to retain the team members at FWG for another successful business deal.  We appreciate each team member’s exceptional level of professionalism and continued support.  We are pleased to call them as extended family members and will continue to keep in touch with them. We intend to contact the Faith Wilson Group again should there be an opportunity for the purchasing and selling of other properties in the future.

M. Locke – November 2017

Thank you guys for getting our place sold with such a great result and without headaches! Over the years my husband and I have purchased eight properties and sold five and we wish we would have come across Faith Wilson much earlier. From the time Faith and Olga came to our place to present what they would do for us to sell our condo and, also important, asked what they could do for us to make the experience a good one, to the closing of the sale, they have impressed us. The best thing was that they got us a great price and higher than we had expected. They were very professional and at the same time personable and a real pleasure to deal with during every interaction, whether it was Faith, Olga or any of the other associates. The whole experience was simply fantastic, including guiding us through the negotiations which gained us such a great price. We felt that they were truly working for us from the start to the end, which was a first when dealing with a real estate agent. I would recommend Faith Wilson Group without hesitation to anybody selling and buying a property.

Frauke Wenzel – October 2017

The Faith Wilson Group did an excellent job of selling my house.  They were always encouraging and reassuring when I had concerns about getting it sold in time for the purchase of my new home and Faith went out of her way to be helpful in making sure my home was in optimum condition for a quick sale.

E. Beck – September 2017

M. McAllister & P. Rostagno – May 2017

I really enjoyed working with Mina at the Faith Wilson Group. She was very knowledgeable of the Vancouver real estate market. I asked for Mina’s help to sell my property and she was the absolute best! It was my first time selling a property and she was able to answer all my questions in a very responsive way. We managed to generate a lot of offers with her knowledge and expertise. I am really satisfied with her services. I highly recommend working with Mina and the Faith Wilson Group for all your real estate needs.

Sheila, Drew & Becca – April 2017

This was our first time working with Faith and her team.  It was a complex transaction that had several moving parts and needed expertise, patience, and creativity.  Faith did an outstanding job, listened well, had excellent communication and professionalism, and she delivered results.  Highly recommended.
