Patsi and Bob Minnes, West Vancouver

I’d tell anyone to sign up with Nexus as soon as you can, to be sure they have time to take care of you,” Patsi says. “We NEVER felt they were too busy to look after us. We just had such a good feeling about them. Our daughter and her family know them from church. She said they were great, and hoped we’d like working with them…and we REALLY did!

“Jennifer and Dale went out of their way, in every possible way. After we decided on this side of the water, Jennifer spent hours driving me around the whole North Shore. She was great in pointing out the advantages of all the different areas. We’d never lived here, so it was all new. My husband said, if you love it, it’s good enough for me. They were very patient, very pleasant, and always on time!

“My husband was in real estate for 35 years, and we’ve purchased at least six times in 54 years, yet we were constantly amazed at the depth of their knowledge, as well as their patience. For example, Dale knew someone in one neighbourhood where we were looking, and he even checked with them for some extra knowledge. We didn’t ever NOT feel confident with them. We have a dog, so we looked at lots and lots of places, because of strata rules about pets.

“Jennifer is so thorough…she even went to the trouble of having someone open and close the garage door, so we could be sure there was no problem with noise from the door going up and down.

“We were SO impressed with the clever way they approached negotiating. Dale realized quickly how to get the best value for our money, and he was very strategic in the negotiations. We’ve lived with market conditions, because my husband did it for a living, and in our discussions about it with Nexus we all agreed. We purchased at a very nice price.”
