Testimonials

Julia Paterson,  Christchurch, NZ

 Sharon played a pivotal role in helping me find a home. Her depth of knowledge within the industry as well as the regions she covers is exceptional. It’s more than a job - it’s a passion for what she does. As an ex-pat the process of re-settling was daunting. She corresponded with me before I left NZ, listened to where and what I was looking for, sent me listings and even did walk – through viewings for me. She offered to pick me up at the ferry terminal and toured me through the regions I was looking at and it was like having a personal tour guide. She gave me the scoop on everything!! Sharon is a ‘top rated’  agent because she truly cares about people and finding the right fit for her clients.Thank you so much Sharon…..I think you were ‘heaven sent’ in helping me find my ‘dream home’.

Marilyn & Richard Riopel, Parksville BC

 From the first contact with Sharon, we immediately heard a warm and knowledgable voice. She knew the home in Craig Bay and we discussed the advantages, possible concerns, and how to create the strengths that simplified them. She knew the other homes in Craig Bay, their prices and decided on a fair price. She described the way she created the listings, photos, etc. We met and felt that she was the right realtor for us. It took a brief time to agree to work together. We were informed through the continuing showings and discussed them through until the moment we heard: your house has sold! Never did we fear that it wouldn’t sell! We recommend Sharon as a strong realtor with the understanding of how to sell our house in particular and the end buyers are the perfect couple to love our old home as much as we loved it!!!”

Astrid & Jack Van Der Lee, Cochrane AB

“We met Sharon a couple of years before we started working with her so we knew we were in great hands once the moment came that we started looking for a home. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, even the smallest details. Sharon was always available to answer our questions and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. What really stood out was her genuine care and commitment to making sure we found the perfect place. Thanks to Sharon, we’re now living in a home that fits our family and lifestyle perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor when buying or selling any type of real estate property.”

Rosemarie Lawrence, Victoria B.C.

“When needing to sell my home, I was referred to Sharon Whitehead who went above and beyond the call of duty with staging and marketing to make my property stand out in a difficult sellers market. Sharon has exceptional market knowledge and experience in my area and offers genuine care and support for her clients in what can sometimes be a stressful time. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharon to anyone who needs a great realtor to help with buying or selling a home.”

Pat & Paul Brown, Calgary AB

Thank you Sharon for your prompt response to us when we contacted you.  It was a good lesson in why it is so helpful to engage a professional realtor, particularly in navigating through all of the paperwork.  Best of all, you started with a lead that turned into a quick sale!”

Beryl & David Musser, New Westminster B.C

We recently bought a fractional share property at Sunrise Ridge Resort in Parksville and had the good fortune of finding Sharon Whitehead to act as our realtor in finding and acquiring the property. In real estate terms, the property sale was actually very small - but the service and attention Sharon lavished on our many questions and decision reversals was huge. No question or request was too small or silly so consequently she very quickly became our trusted ally and guide through the whole process. Thank you so much for everything Sharon. You can certainly count on us to refer you to family and friends looking for a realtor on Vancouver Island!” Sincerely, David and Beryl Musser

Helen & Jay Poscente, Nanoose Bay B.C.

“We were thrilled to have Sharon as our realtor because not only was she diligent, thorough and professional, she was also quick to offer her time and assistance with preparations for photos and showings.  She went above and beyond expectations to ensure the place always looked its best”

Kelly & Steve Palmer, Bedford N.S.

“Sharon is a very positive and conscientious person. On our scouting trip to the island, she provided midnight transport as my sister was nursing an injury. She showed us comparable properties to the condo we intended to purchase to help us solidify our decision. It is evident that she loves Vancouver Island and in our case in moving from coast to coast, made the process easier as she advocated on our behalf with the developer. Thank you for all your help and generosity”

Elena & Max, Munster Ont.

“I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service you provided as our realtor in helping us find our dream home on Vancouver Island. Your patience, professionalism and dedication were truly commendable. Your willingness to accompany us on numerous visits to the island and your wealth of knowledge about the area made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Your expertise and guidance were invaluable and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that we found the perfect home. Your commitment to meeting our needs and understanding our vision for the ideal property made all the difference. We are thrilled with our new home and are grateful for your hard work in making it a reality. 

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in search of a top-notch realtor. It was a pleasure to work with you and we are so appreciative of everything you did for us. Thank you again for your outstanding service”

Cindy & Brent, Nanoose Bay B.C.

“We have used realtors a few times prior, and had always been disappointed with previous agents. This time around I really wanted to find someone who would listen and hold our hands a little through the process. Then I found Sharon. Sharon gave us the ultimate in good experiences!! Sharon was SO attentive and fast in communicating with us. She really listened and went over and above to be helpful. When questions came up, she investigated until she found the answer. Sharon didn’t just tell us where to call she called for us!! She also gave us many referrals and suggestions to help to reno our home. Sharon made us feel like we were her only client at the time. I can’t say enough about how personable and helpful she was. She felt like a friend advocating for all our needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sharon to anyone especially if personalized service is important to you. Five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service!”

“First time home buyers!! Thank you to Sharon for being so hard working and helpful when navigating buying a home even when half the buying party was not able to be on the island.  Sharon was always in touch and updating us on the process and was always able to answer questions thoughtfully.  The whole process felt straight forward and we were incredibly supported and lucky to have Sharon on our side.  Thank you always!”

Cindy, Calgary, AB

“Sharon is very knowledgeable about the whole scope of property in the greater Parksville area. She listened to my needs and steered me to those listings that would suit my needs. She was focused and practical when some issues arose and helped close the transaction.  She is knowledgeable about the inner workings and suppliers and contractors in the area. Would always recommend her to others. A great person to have on side.”

Lesley & Lesley, Nanoose Bay B.C.

“Thanks for your guidance and your professionalism during our recent home purchase. You were a pleasure to work with and provided balanced and trustworthy advice and support through the process.  You also stepped up and advocated for us when we ran into unexpected challenges.  I really appreciated having you in our corner and would not hesitate to recommend you to others looking to sell or purchase a home.  Your level of care and attention to detail is very evident, as is your genuine concern for your clients. Thanks again”

Blanka & Adam, Whiskey Creek B.C.

“When it was time to move on to our next adventure as a family, Sharon played a very important role.  Sharon has so many strengths. The one that stood out the most to us was her ability to communicate gentle honesty and handled our complex situation with such grace! She went above and beyond to complete our sale and purchase with a very short turnaround.  We would absolutely recommend Sharon”

Kathy & Wishart, Nanoose Bay B.C.

We have worked with many real estate agents over the years as we have bought and sold our properties. Sharon stands out for her ability to be creative, her willingness to work with us under some unique circumstances and her unflagging support, advice and counsel. Sharon is a great person to have on your team and we have no hesitation in recommending her services.”

Jerry & Lee, Walnut Grove B.C.

“Serendipity was in play when we found Sharon. She is a true professional. Her professionalism manifests itself in every aspect of her work. She takes her position as one’s agent with the utmost conscientiousness, exhibiting a faultless attention to detail. Beyond this realm, which in itself is all a buyer can realistically hope for in an agent, Sharon is also an amazing resource as a guide to understanding the new community buyers are moving to, and in showing her clients how to quickly integrate into their new environment. She is a Wikipedia of knowledge and information. She personally knows trades people, and contractors, who have earned excellent reputations in this area, and she is able to connect buyers wishing to upgrade or renovate their new homes with these people. We have benefitted firsthand from her wealth of knowledge, and her connections with the building and maintenance industries. Finally, Sharon is the warmest and most gracious person buyers could hope to meet when coming to a new community. We feel like we have already made a sincere friend in Sharon even before moving into our new home. Those looking for a home in the zone will be so so pleased if they are fortunate enough to have Sharon as their agent.”

Colleen Fitzpatrick, Abbotsford B.C.

“I met Sharon through a long-time friend and her neighbour while still living on the mainland. I was unsure as to when I would be in a position to move to the island but wanted to begin my search to educate myself on what area might be most suitable for me.  I was confident I wanted to live mid-island.  Sharon was so wonderful through the whole process taking me from Duncan to Courtenay/Comox to look at various properties narrowing down both the area and type of property that would most suit me.  It took me almost two years to make the move and eventually settle on a property that was both within my budget and fit my lifestyle.  Without the perseverance and dedication that Sharon demonstrated in the process, I believe the move would have been much more daunting.  I can not thank Sharon enough for her kindness and willingness to help me through this major move in my life.  I highly recommend Sharon.  I have worked with several realtors over the years and can honestly say, this was the best experience I have ever had working with someone who really cares that you find the place that you will really be happy in.  Sharon will work tirelessly to see you happy with your move. Thank you once again! You are amazing Sharon”

Jim & Jeannie, Ladysmith B.C.

I would recommend you”

Sue & Graham Worth, Kitchener/Waterloo Ont.

“Sharon acted for us in selling our vacation property.  She did an excellent job of the listing, arranging for professional photos and getting the listing online in a tight timeframe.  She immediately set to work reaching out to her contacts to uncover interest and potential buyers.  She was professional and looked after all the details, and kept us well informed of the developments.  She is a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her”

Anneli & Jarmo,  Sidney B.C.

“We are out-of-towners and were looking for a vacation property in the Parksville area.  Luck was on our side and we came into contact with Sharon.  Through the whole process, she was very punctual and did extra work to accommodate us when we were viewing the properties.  She kept us informed and up to date.  I would describe her as knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and a very pleasant person to work with.  Definitely would use her services again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor in the Oceanside area"

Jill McCabe  Toronto, Ont.

“I’d wanted to buy a property on Vancouver Island for over 10 years and started to get a little concerned when the market started heating up. I was worried that looking for my dream home would be difficult and that maybe I wouldn’t find the right place in my budget. As luck would have it, a neighbour put me in touch with Sharon. My neighbour recommended Sharon because she has a reputation for working hard for people. When we began, I wasn’t even 100% sure what I wanted, but Sharon helped me narrow in on what I wanted after a few meetings. She was careful about not letting me purchase in the wrong area or development. It touched me that she was so concerned for my welfare even when it meant more work for her. When I did find my dream place, she then went the extra mile.  The contacts that she has put me in touch with were all great  if you’re looking for someone who will work with you and connect you with other great resources and people, I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough”

Margo & Doug, Calgary, Alberta

“Sharon worked with us for 10 months from afar (with two personal visits on the island) to find our dream oceanfront home.  Definitely exceeded expectations!  She was willing to travel down to Sooke and up to Bowser to show us properties  Sharon kept us in the loop of any new properties coming on the market and would even do personal videos of beach access for us  Thanks for helping us Sharon to move to our new home! You won’t go wrong choosing Sharon to help you buy or sell your home” 

Mary-Jane & Roy, Nanoose Bay, B.C.
