We Loved Working with Lori and Alan

They supported us each step of the way and provided all necessary details to consider when buying our first home. They are both extremely professional, caring and well-informed with so much experience. Both work with a high level of integrity and they were very attentive to all the details involved in assessing a property to the home buying steps. They also have great referrals that supported us with our mortgage, home inspection and notary support. We are very grateful to Lori and Alan for supporting us in finding a wonderful new home!

Helped Us Relocate from Alberta with Ease!

Alan and Lori helped my family previously when we were selling our previous property. It was a very smooth process despite our far distance.

When it came to buying a new home, it was an easy process, because we knew Alan and Lori would be there to help us. They were very knowledgeable and efficient with their work. They had organized several units for my parents and myself to view within our short stay in Vancouver in the search for a home. The advice and tips from their years of experience really helped us feel a lot more comfortable and less stressed during the search.

When it came down to making an offer, they explained very well what to do at every step to make it very easy to understand what is happening and what we should do for the next step. Even after we had sealed a deal; Alan continued to keep in contact with us and provided information on the unit and surrounding neighborhood, clarification to our questions, and advice on what we should do for our next step. Alan and Lori had even provided some suggestions on painting companies that they were acquainted with. If I need to buy or sell another property then I will definitely go back to Alan and Lori for help doing so. Personally, I recommend Alan and Lori to my friends and family if they ever needed to look for a property in BC or anywhere.

Can't Say Enough Good Things about Selling our Home with Alan & Lori!

We can't say enough good things about our experience selling our home with Lori and Alan. They were amazing from presentation to final closing. Throughout the process Alan and Lori were very friendly and comfortable to talk with.

Their attention to detail was what impressed me most. They knew the market and the best way to sell our home. Alan is a master of detail, making sure all paperwork was in place and truly made the selling process easy. Every T was crossed and every I was dotted. Thank you both for spending so much time to ensure our experience selling was smooth and successful.

Good Advice, Knowledgeable & Extensive Network!

Lori and Alan kept us up to date on properties, referred us to agents in each of the areas where we were looking, helped us find a mortgage broker, and gave good advice on legal issues to consider. We worked with their recommended Realtor to buy our Bowen Island house. We recommend them for their extensive network and knowledge about home buying in BC

- Sheana Bull

Lori & Alan are Honest, Knowledgeable & Fun to Work With!

Alan and Lori were very helpful in selling our condo in the River District of Vancouver (over list price). Easy to talk to and packed with knowledge of the market. It was a breeze and actually fun dealing with them. Honest and Truthful all throughout the process step by step. I actually learned a lot from them about owning and selling a property now!

- Wilson & Marilou

Lori & Alan are Nice, Professional & Super Helpful!

Lori and Alan are just awesome realtors and so nice people. Very professional, super helpful and always here to answer any questions. They were full of great advice and tips. They provided us with super helpful details and check lists in each step of our home buying process. They really cared about our needs and helped us find the right fit for us. The process took some time in our case as we were not clearly decided on our needs but Lori and Alan were always here patiently listening and guiding us.

Buying a new place in this crazy market is not easy but we are now the happy owners of a wonderful place. This would never have happened without their help and guidance. I highly recommend their services and will definitely come back to them in the future.

- Aline Caillaud

Lori & Alan's Advice was Crucial

Lori and Alan helped me sell my condo in the West End of Vancouver. their advice was crucial in getting my place ready for sale and getting a good price for it. The way they handled selling and showing it in the middle of the pandemic was outstanding. Their marketing was / is amazing! I have no hesitations in recommending them!

I'm happy David recommending Lori and Alan to me.

- Michael Anhorn

It Was Awesome Working with Lori & Alan!

It was really awesome working with Lori and Alan. I was going in with a blank slate and they really inform me along every step of the way. At the actual viewings, they asked many questions that I would have not thought to ask which helped created an informed picture of the opportunity. In closing on a unit, being able to connect me with other individuals to help me close the deal was really helpful with my busy schedule and made it the whole process as smooth as I could imagine it could be.

- Alex Kwan

Lori & Alan Shone Through as I Interviewed other REALTORS®!

David & Ruth were moving from Ontario after I sold their home and asked for a referral to a Vancouver REALTOR®. Lori & Alan were suggested to me by Vancouver contacts and they shone through as I interviewed a few realtors for David & Ruth to speak with. When my clients chose Lori and Alan it was not a surprise.

Lori and Alan demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, knew the area well and gave me confidence about their ability to negotiate well for my clients. They kept me informed throughout the process and never wavered through a challenging market. I am thrilled for David & Ruth to have a great place to call home and appreciative of the work Alan and Lori did for them!

- Sam Chaim

Lori & Alan are the Most Professional Team We Have Ever Encountered!

Thanks Sam Chaim for introducing us to Lori and Alan!

Lori and Alan guided us to find our perfect condo. They were extremely responsive and patient, and so very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Vancouver, especially helpful since we were moving from another province.

They never hesitated to take us to see properties, even if they felt that the property was unsuitable for us. They are honest and forthcoming. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with them and would use them again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a real estate agent either for selling and/or buying, don't look any further!

- David Halperin

Lori & Alan are Amazing & Made the Process Easy and Stress-Free!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lori and Alan are an amazing team.

We had initially worked with Alan and Lori to upgrade to a newer and larger condo which we have successfully completed. We then focused on selling our previous condo in the River District which really needed an update before placing it on the market.

Lori and Alan were tremendous in that they went way above and beyond our expectations in getting us through the entire process. Similar to our amazing experience with our condo purchase, they walked us through the sale process including the remodeling of our condo to prepare it for a sale.

Since we hadn’t completed any upgrades to the condo over many years, there was a lot to do to get the River District condo updated and ready. Lori and Alan made the process so much easier than we would have ever expected. They provided references to service professionals and were always available to meet and provide guidance and often met with service professionals on our behalf to keep the process going smoothly and without delay.

They were clearly always looking out for us in so many ways and we can’t thank them enough for making the process stress-free. It was a pleasure working with Lori and Alan and we would highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

- Paula Spencer

Exceeded Even My Highest Expectations!

I can’t thank both Alan and Lori enough for their help in purchasing my new condo in the River District. The realtor I had used a while back for my last home purchase had retired so I needed to find a new realtor. I found Alan and Lori’s website when searching for a home in the River District area and entered my information to get access to listing updates.

I found that they were the most responsive but not obtrusive in any way, as other realtors had come across. This condo purchase experience has been the best home buying experience I have had. Their availability and their excellence in keeping me informed throughout the entire purchase process made the entire experience stress-free. They went above and beyond in providing reminders and tips in all aspects of my condo buying experience that exceeded even my highest expectations. They provided post-purchase information as well that I have found invaluable in keeping my condo in the best shape.

It is clear that they excel at their craft and most important to me was that they genuinely care about their clients and work hard to ensure that their clients go in with the all the information available to make the best purchase decision possible. They are excellent at what they do and a genuine pleasure to work with which is often a hard combination to come across and I am very thankful for having had the pleasure to work with them. As I complete this review, I am working with Lori and Alan again in selling my previous condo.

Professional, Approachable and Knowledgeable!

Professional, Approachable and Knowledgeable. That is how we would describe realtors Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin. We have enjoyed working with them over the past several years, as staging professionals (Refresh Home Staging) and know their commitment to their clients. From having an extensive range of marketing tools in place, to their detailed knowledge of the ever-changing real estate market, they offer their clients the best of service!

- Leslie Todd at Refresh Home Staging

Your Services Resulted in Getting the Best Price!

Lori & Alan, We just want to thank you for the stellar realty services that you provided to us. In short, what you provided to us is a master class in being a Realtor. We thank you for your professionalism, your steady guidance without pressure when we were in the negotiation process and your attention to detail at every step. We are very confident that your services resulted in getting the best price for our condo - you stated that you would work for multiple offers in this slower market and you skillfully provided that to us. We enjoyed working with you. We will recommend you and you are now our realtors for life. Thanks again!

- Genevieve & Kevin S.

Lori & Alan Went Above & Beyond... Again!

Well Lori and Alan, you did it again! You went above and beyond when I needed to sell the condo in Kitsilano Vancouver and I was living in Alberta. You were always there and helped find cleaners, stagers and contractors to prepare the home for sale and did all the supervision of them that I couldn't have done. You made sure that it got the exposure it needed to sell and completed an excellent sale in a declining market. I can`t thank you enough for all the hard work and dedication that you have shown.

- Diane Moorhouse

Sold Over List Price - Thanks for the Excellent Service & Sound Advice!

Thanks David for introducing us to Lori and Alan!

Just a brief note to say how pleased we were with Lori and Alan who handled the sale of our condo. They provided excellent service, sound advice and were true professionals at every step. 

We interviewed a number of realtors and Lori and Alan impressed us the most. We weren’t disappointed. We will certainly recommend them to family and friends in Vancouver.

- Mike & Quentin

Always a Pleasure to Work With -- Received Multiple Offers!

Thanks Alexine for introducing us to Lori and Alan!

We have sold two properties with Lori and Alan. Always a pleasure to work with. Lori and Alan are very detailed oriented people who make it a smooth way to buy or sell a property. Would highly recommend them if you are looking to buy or sell your home.

- Jordan & Cynthia Law

Sold Our Home 8% Over Asking!

Thanks Mary for introducing us to Lori and Alan!

We are so grateful to have met and had the chance to work with Alan and Lori. They stuck with us on our LONG journey to find just the exactly right place for our family. We never once felt pressured or hurried by them and always felt like they truly had our best interests at heart. They are both extremely knowledgeable and thorough in their work. When it came time to sell our own place, they gave us great advice and helped us to ensure all the details were in place to make an excellent sale which was 8% over asking! Their kind, patient and friendly manner and personalities helped to ease our nerves throughout the intense/stressful buying and home selling process. We would highly and whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home or property!

- Katie & Jacobo

Very Patient & Helpful!

As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I had a lot of questions and uncertainty with the process. Lori and Alan were very patient and helpful, and made sure to take the time to explain everything to us in detail. We very much appreciated their expertise and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!

- Arvand Saffari & Chloe B.

Great REALTORS® to Deal with in a Very Intense & Fast Paced Market

Alan and Lori were great REALTORS® to deal with in a very intense and fast paced real estate market. They are very professional; taking the time to ensure that we understood the pros and cons of several properties we looked at. They pointed out flaws that weren't obvious to us and (gently) steered us toward a choice we are happy with. It's hard to overstate how well they represented us. We enthusiastically recommend them.

- Evan Gatehouse & Diane Selkirk

Wealth of Experience - Great Marketing Plan!

We chose Alan and Lori to sell our Kitsilano property after interviewing several realtors. We were confident with their objective, accurate assessment of market conditions and property values, and their comprehensive marketing plan. From that interview through the sale process they have been unfailingly professional, patient and gracious. The wealth of experience and exceptional communication that they provide alerted us to issues, identified excellent resources, and assisted us in making good decisions along the way.  We relied on them to look after our best interests and to guide us through the sale process. We highly recommend the great team of Lori and Alan to all prospective clients.

- Chris & Art

Absolutely Outstanding Job Selling Our Condo!

Thanks Joe for introducing me to Alan and Lori!

Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin did an absolutely outstanding job in selling our condo in Kitsilano. They guided us through every step of the process with a level of professionalism and commitment that went far beyond expectations. Their in-depth understanding of the market, superb research, and attention to detail was truly remarkable. Not only did their work result in our significantly exceeding expectations in the final selling price but also in the time between going on the market and closing. Most importantly, they were fun to work with.

- Mark Alexander BA MBA CHRP

We Would Never Want to Deal with Anyone Else!

Five Stars Out of Five! I highly recommend Lori and Alan, and I would give them six stars if we could! They have helped us with the purchase of two homes, and the recent sale of our condo. Lori and Alan have spent countless hours answering our questions, giving us advice, coming with us to Open Houses, etc. They are hardworking, patient, kind, trustworthy, and honest. Lori and Alan go above and beyond for their clients, both during and after the sale/ purchase is over. It was a pleasure having them as our Realtors, and we would never want to deal with anyone else!

- Helen & Jasper Hodson

Impressed by their Honesty, Professionalism & Willing Attitude

Thanks Susila for introducing me to Lori and Alan!

I recently sold my condo in Burnaby with the help of two fine realtors, Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin. I was most impressed by their honesty, professionalism, and willing attitude. They carefully explained the current practices in real estate marketing and told me what they believed to be the best way to market my property. They worked with me to make a marketing plan that would suit me, and were transparent about their methods and clear in their explanations, always respectful of my questions and my point of view. 

As we began to work together on getting the property sold, their experience and knowledge were invaluable. Throughout the home selling process, both were present for preparation, showings, and negotiations, but each of them brought something special to the service they offered me. Lori has a wonderful talent for staging and marketing, and Alan demonstrated remarkable skill as he steered the sales process through some very complex situations. I observed that beyond their basic real estate expertise, Lori and Alan showed a keen instinct for timing and buyer motivation.

Lori and Alan worked ceaselessly to get my condo sold. They did not omit any detail of the marketing plan. Even when they obtained multiple offers for my condo, they continued to encourage and obtain multiple back-up offers. I sold my property in less than two weeks, above the list price. 

Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin are a credit to their profession, and I am pleased to recommend them. They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hard working. I can't imagine that anyone could have done a better job for me in selling my condo.

To The Owner of Dexter Realty

Dear Mr. Peerless:

Recently, I took possession of my new home.

The purchase of this Vancouver property was a journey that began when I first moved to Vancouver 2 years ago.  But of most significance is that it was accomplished through the service provided by two of your outstanding real estate agents, Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin.

Actually I had just met this team a few months prior to the purchase after having been through different companies and agents.  But it was not until I met Alan and Lori that I was confident that I finally had a winning combination that would result in me purchasing again.

I highly commend this real estate team from Dexter Associates.  They are professional in all aspects and I applaud them.

Working together as a team was unique and something that I valued very much.  They both complement each other and provided comprehensive and complete information for me to make a well-informed decision.  Viewing a property with both of them was actually fun!

They knew my tastes and distastes but also they could point out positive and negative features in a property that I did not see nor think about.

Their service was comprehensive from those endless searches, making appointments for viewings, for the actual walkabout in each property,  making recommendations for mortgage brokers,  for insurance, for contacting strata management, for  providing information on the new federal tax incentives…the list goes on.

Their communication was open, positive, clear and respectful at the same time non-obtrusive!  That is remarkable! They kept in constant communication throughout the whole process and even when they presented me with the keys on the 29th and a beautiful Italian gourmet food basket, they still kept in contact to make sure everything is moving smoothly and ask if there was anything else they can do.  This is not lip service but truly authentic.

I have no hesitation to recommend Dexter Associates Realty and Lori and Alan.  I congratulate you Mr. Peerless for having created a corporate culture that is representative of Lori and Alan.

Because of my respect, admiration and confidence of these two exceptional real estate agents, I hold them in high esteem and will recommend them!

- Dr. Ralph Vigna

5 Star Review (5 Out of 5)

I highly recommend Lori and Alan to be your real estate agents when buying a home or selling a home. They are incredibly responsive, tenacious, and thorough — we are very grateful for their help in getting our terrific new condo! 

I admit we were a little intimidated by the prospect of buying our new home in the totally crazy real estate market in Vancouver, but Lori and Alan put us at ease and at the same time helped/urged us to act fast, yet smart. They know the market inside and out; they educated us and walked us through what to expect, worked with us on best offering strategy and were patient and very responsive when answering all our follow-up questions. 

In addition to their impeccable knowledge of the real estate industry, some of the great things about Lori and Alan are their attention to detail and absolute sincerity.For us shopping as a couple, we loved working with a couple and getting both male and female perspectives and advice. They truly go above and beyond to serve their clients throughout the entire process! Even after we got the keys, Lori and Alan have been in touch and assured for help, any guidance or information. I’d work with them for any future real estate needs and recommend them to all my friends and family. THANK YOU!

Outshone All Other REALTORS®

When we started looking for a home, we knew we had high expectations and would be difficult clients to satisfy. Alan and Lori were not fussed about this at all, in fact they encouraged us to take our time to ensure that we got it right.   

We did a lot of our own looking and attended most of the open-house visits on our own so as not to wear out our relationship with them.   Over the course of 2 ½ years we went through several adjustments in what we thought we wanted as our expectations and perceived needs continues to evolve, and as the market continued to change through this period.

We tried a lot of different ideas, neighbourhoods and types of housing alternatives on for size. Alan and Lori were patient and understanding through all of this as we flip-flopped around on our requirements and search parameters.   They remained dedicated to us and never showed even the slightest amount of frustration.   

When it finally happened – that is when we made an offer that was accepted – is when Alan and Lori really kicked into high gear and they completely outshone all other REALTORS®!  Not only were we truly impressed with how hard they worked, how knowledgeable and thorough they were, how highly they held our interests, and how professionally they conducted themselves through every aspect and every moment of both transactions, they also impressed the socks off the other realtors involved !   

On both the sale of our old West End Vancouver home, and on the purchase of our new one, they showed themselves as very skilled tacticians, as confident negotiators and especially as sincere and truthful people. Alan Yasin and Lori Pettigrew are a team to be reckoned with and we are very fortunate to have had then representing us through what was potentially a very stressful journey.   On a road riddled with potential potholes and mishaps, it could not have been a smoother ride for us.   They are both outstanding representatives and a credit to the real estate profession.   

We will not hesitate to recommend Alan and Lori to anyone who might be thinking of buying or selling a home.

- Mike and Scott

Offered a Clear Set of Procedures and Guidelines

Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin recently handled the sale of a Kitsilano house on my behalf, and I don't think I could have chosen a more appropriate team.

They entered the process with a clear set of procedures and guidelines, which immediately reassured me that they knew what they were doing. These procedures clearly outlined what I could expect from them over the ensuing sale period. For the next few weeks, while the property was examined and debated by various parties,  they kept me informed of developments, without inundating me with all the particulars.  I didn't want to know every little step, only the major ones.

Also, with Lori and Alan, clients get the services and attention of two realtors for the price of one!  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

- Lynda C.

Best Service I've Ever Had!

Thanks Gabrielle for introducing me to Alan and Lori!

Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin are passionate realtors who are both extremely professional and provide excellent customer service.  I am writing this review on behalf of my family.  We have used their services multiple times when buying and selling our homes and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

When listing my condo for sale, Lori and Alan took sufficient time to explain the whole process from start to finish, making sure that every detail was covered.  I didn’t want a handful of strangers traipsing through my home and Alan ensured that he was present for every viewing.

This has been by far, my best experience involved in the selling and buying of property.  

- Audrey S.

Knowledgeable, Accessible & Intuitive

As first time home buyers, Lori and Alan were extremely helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process. We viewed numerous properties over the course of a year, and as overwhelming the whole process is, they advised us in the right direction.

Questions are answered for us before they even came up, and Lori and Alan were knowledgeable and completely accessible from start to finish.

We're so glad we found you!  Thanks guys!!

- Letitia W. & Sean S.

Offered a Refreshing No-pressure Sales Approach

As a single woman, the decision to purchase my first home in the competitive Vancouver market was daunting.  Would I be able to find a suitable home in a safe neighbourhood with most of my "wish list" items, and within my price range?  In the initial stages, before I even made the commitment to start looking at properties, I had a long chat with Lori on the phone about what I was looking for and whereabouts in the city I may like to live.  Lori completely understood my needs and her no-pressure sales approach was refreshing.  When I finally made the decision to purchase, Lori was the first call I made. 

After discussing my requirements for my future home with Alan and Lori, Alan patiently took me to see numerous properties to gauge the market.  Lori and Alan's knowledge of the market and the various properties was especially helpful as it streamlined the whole process.  After finding a suitable property, I was gently guided through the offer and buying process by Alan and Lori.  We were all very excited when the keys were handed over on the day of possession in my new kitchen.  Today, I write this from my desk in my new home and I couldn't be happier.  Thank you Alan and Lori for your patience, time, and utmost professionalism.  

- Sheryl T.

Trustworthy, Caring, Passionate!

Trustworthy, caring and passionate!  I would highly recommend Lori and Alan to anyone thinking of selling their property.  Their advertising and marketing program created the opportunity for me to receive multiple offers in less than a week, and sell well above list price.

They simplified the process by providing me with written timelines, including ideas to prepare my home for sale in order to achieve the best price possible, tasks to ensure a smooth completion, and more.

They were there every step of the way. Professionalism, attention to detail and enthusiasm sets this dynamic team apart from their peers.

- Heidi C.

Great Job; Great Experience!

I was very impressed with the professionalism of both REALTORS® and the way they made sure we were protected. We felt very secure in their knowledge and helpfulness. Thank you for a great job and a great experience.

- Frances K.

Two Agents, Twice the Service

As first-time home sellers, we found Lori and Alan based on previous successful sales they’d had in our neighbourhood, but it was their professionalism and attention to detail that won us over.

They completely took the stress out of selling our home, and provided valuable advice in the lead up to, and during, the listing period. In addition, having two real estate agents on our side meant twice the service.

We were very pleased with the result of all their hard work and would highly recommend them to friends and neighbours.

- Anna  & Ben

Relocation from Ontario

Thanks to you both for all you did for me in Vancouver, BC.  I thought you were both wonderful and so very, very professional, as well as being so well informed.  My husband and I were very impressed with the material you sent home with me.

We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone contemplating a move to the Vancouver area.

- Marlene T.

Research & Marketing Achieved Results... Stress Free

It was an absolute pleasure to have Lori and Alan sell my condominium for me.  They couldn't have been more professional or attentive during the entire process.  They presented me with an extensive amount of research to give me a clear understanding of the market and every step of the way was handled with the same care and attention to detail.

The whole process from the initial listing to the successful negotiation with the buyers was worry free and I will certainly have them represent me again.

- J. Paladin

Solid Advice

Lori and Alan were extremely professional in all aspects of our transaction; providing solid advice on staging and positioning us for the current market. They appropriately exposed our property, scheduling and attending all open houses and viewings, and dealt with multiple contacts from other agents in a timely manner.

They represented us with integrity and honesty and were always very pleasant to deal with. 

- Mr. & Mrs. Anderson

Professional & Hard Working

As first time home buyers, we are glad to have Lori and Alan guide us through our first purchase of a new home.  We are absolutely amazed by their professional service.

We couldn't have asked for more professional, hard working real estate agents.  It was such a pleasure to work with you both.

- Emily & Ivan

Dedication to Service

Experience, knowledge, professionalism and dedication, you guys really stand out in the crowd!

I repeat my gratitude.  I have gained priceless knowledge about the market, thanks to you.

- Emi H.

Unwavering Support

We have finally settled into our new home and wanted to thank you both so very much for helping us to get here. We have worked with other agents in the past and none can compare to you in terms of professionalism, attention to detail, sheer hard work, and unwavering support.

You did not just help us to purchase a house. You patiently worked with us as we explored options and you methodically helped us to evaluate alternatives until we finally found the place we now call home. We couldn’t be happier, we couldn’t be more satisfied with the purchase, and we couldn’t have made it here without you.

You guys will always be very dear to us and we are very grateful for all that you have done.

We highly recommend your services – with the highest level of enthusiasm – to anyone looking to buy a home.

- Amanda and Richard Schwartz

Knowledgeable, Professional, Patient & Extremely Dedicated

Thanks Gabrielle for introducing me to Alan and Lori!

Lori and Alan made buying our first place a comfortable process.  They are both very knowledgeable, professional and extremely dedicated to providing their clients with a positive buying experience.  Their wealth of knowledge, on all aspects of real estate, was much appreciated and allowed us to make decisions based on solid, factual information.

Lori and Alan are very patient and dedicated to finding the right place for their clients.  Lori and Alan worked extremely hard for us and drove us to see dozens of properties all over Vancouver, so we were confident purchasing our condo knowing that we had seen more than enough places to make a sound decision.

Without the help of Lori and Alan we would not have been able to go through the buying process.  They were able to help us make sense of complicated aspects of purchasing real estate and they went beyond our expectations in every regard. 

- Sincerely, Jasper and Helen H.

Dedication to Clients & Excellence!

As first time home buyers, my wife and I had no idea what to expect in terms of how to initially get the proverbial ball rolling. We then had the pleasure of meeting Lori and Alan.

Even from our first consultation, we felt confident and most importantly comfortable in dealing with Lori and Alan. They had answered all our questions and concerns and explained in detail all the particulars we needed to know and understand. From the first day we stepped into their consultation room, to the day of possession, including the final walk through, Lori and Alan were always at our side!

They both continue to contact us to see if everything is going well, even though their main task has been completed and continue to try and make life easier as home owners with helpful tips and advice! 

We couldn't have chosen a more perfect team, than Lori and Alan. They have qualities that all winning teams possess. From their genuine friendliness to their hard work and dedication to both client and excellence, Lori and Alan made our first time home buying experience memorable and quite frankly, so easy!

We would, and do, highly recommend this, "Dynamic duo," anyone who is looking to make their home buying life easier! We are extremely glad we did! Thank you both, Lori and Alan!  

- Doug and Mariko

Our Ontario Clients

Serendipity... a chance open house.  The condo we found was in our preferred neighborhood, the right size and with a negotiable price, albeit not quite what one might find in Ontario! But this property met all the criteria we had and we made an offer.

Lori and Alan shepherded the paperwork, provided us with resources. Their professionalism and attention to detail never waned... regardless the time difference and the distance.

If we had not been fortunate to have met Lori and Alan, I doubt that we would have been able to carry this through as smoothly. It's one thing buying property in close proximity (and that can be arduous), quite another being provinces apart. Their efforts are much appreciated.

Alberta Client Purchasing in Vancouver

What to say about Lori and Alan? I cannot praise them enough. I had a very short time to purchase a property in Vancouver and was living in Alberta. I asked my estate agent here to give me a recommendation of a good agent in Vancouver and was put in touch with Lori.

Right away Lori contacted me via email and made me comfortable that she was interested in what I wanted and needed, and was willing to spend time helping me to achieve it. I also had the complication that the property was for my son and he was living in another area of Vancouver, leaving Lori to deal with duplicate emails and 2 people contacting her, both with their specific requirements.

Lori found us many properties to consider and reduce to a manageable number to visit. She was in constant contact with advice and questions to confirm my needs and comfort levels with the price. She gave me breakdowns of costs for a condominium as I had never bought this sort of property before.

The only time I could travel to Vancouver was on a weekend and Lori and Alan were kind enough to free up their time for the whole weekend to allow me to see a short list of properties with my son. Alan even picked my son up from the skytrain to get him to the office.

On our trip around Vancouver viewing properties, Lori and Alan were very knowledgeable about the areas that we were considering, advising on transport and shopping. They were wonderful hosts, making both myself and my son very comfortable and well cared for, always considering our opinions and helping us to think through our decisions.

We managed to find a great condo that was just where we wanted it, had all the amenities we wanted and was in our price range. We put an offer in on the Saturday, it was countered and we signed the contract on the Sunday at a good price. This left us just under 2 weeks to complete and move in. Very stressful and probably impossible. But we had Lori and Alan on our side.

I came home with a full list of what needed doing, a list of all the professionals I would need and some recommendations of who to contact. This list was invaluable.  I managed to use the contact list to get all the required work completed within less than the two week deadline, and Lori and Alan managed to get the contract completed and all the conditions satisfied for me.

Within two weeks of meeting Lori and Alan I was back in Vancouver moving my son into his new home where a lovely gift was awaiting us from our wonderful agents.

I plan to eventually move to the Vancouver area myself and am looking forward to working with Lori and Alan when I do. If anyone I know is planning to move to the area I will be strongly recommending them to contact Lori and Alan for help. If you are reading this I would also advise you to trust Lori and Alan to be your agents and your friends. You will be very happy that you did, as am I.

Sold in 6 Days For Over List Price!

As a first time seller living on my own, I had complete confidence in Lori and Alan.

They gave me clear advice on preparing my house for selling.  With the help of all their research and knowledge in pricing my home, we came up with great results, as my home was sold in six days with multiple offers – and over list price!

I highly recommend Lori and Alan for their professional services and guidance.

Without Your Help, We Wouldn't Have Purchased Our 1st Home

We would like to express our great appreciation for the outstanding service we received from you.

It was such a pleasure to work with you both.  You provided solid advice and guided us through our first home purchase in Canada.  You were very patient and dedicated to finding the right place for us.  Without your help, we would have not been able to go through the buying process.

We're very grateful for your efforts, especially, your professional service and always helpful manners.  Again, many many thanks for the fantastic service.  We would highly recommend your service to our friends.

P.S. Thank you so much for the gift you brought us.  We love it!

The Process Was Simple & Enjoyable (With No Pressure)

I feel that Alan and Lori went above and beyond to make my first home purchase a great one.

I never expected this experience to be as simple and enjoyable as Alan and Lori made it - there was absolutely no pressure, they helped me to make an informed decision and made very useful suggestions to ensure that my new home was exactly what suits me best. When I found my ideal condo, Alan was quick to act and made the negotiation process very smooth. Thanks so much you two!

I'll be using Alan and Lori for all my real-estate transactions in the future

Miles Ahead of Other Agents!

Comparing Lori and Alan with my friends' agents, they are miles ahead.  They list all the things you need to do down to the Ts. You won't go wrong if you follow their lists.  They are very efficient, no waste of time, yours or theirs.  They even dressed in jeans to come to your house to move your furniture for you.  If you don't know who to represent you, you don't need to seek anymore, they will sail you through the process.

Thrilled Out of Town Buyer

Just want to thank you for your kind card remembering our purchase.

I love your Market Snapshots and look forward to them. I think of you often, your kindness and all the hard work you put in getting us our condo in such a time crunch. You were amazing. I was looking at condos for myself the other day, even though it will be at least 3 years before I can move out there, and I saw a place very near your office and once again it brought you to mind.

I will be asking you to help me relocate when the time comes as I have the utmost trust in you both.

Knowledgeable, Professional & Very Responsive

The purchase of a home is the most significant purchase most of us will make. Purchasing real estate is both exciting and stressful and professional assistance is not only recommended but in my opinion necessary especially in Vancouver.

With my personal experiences of multiple house purchases and sales, I would not hesitate in recommending Alan and Lori as I have found them to be knowledgeable, professional, thorough and very responsive.

Want the Best for Their Clients

As a first time home buyer I was overwhelmed with the idea of purchasing a home but Alan and Lori were great and helped me through the daunting process from day one. Their no pressure approach made me comfortable through the searching process and when I had decided on a home, they were extremely helpful and provided me with all of the information that I needed to make a decision.

They were great at identifying all of the issues that I needed to consider, including many that had not even crossed my mind. Some may find that approach a little negative but I enjoyed the fact that they were providing me with as much information as I could process in order to make one of the biggest decisions of my life. You definitely feel that they are on your side and want the best for their clients.

Their advice and assistance through the entire process was invaluable. When it came time to close they provided me with clear lists of what was required and when. They even kept in touch with my Mortgage broker and Notary to ensure things were running smoothly; which took a huge stress off of my mind.

Lori and Alan are the consummate professional and I would encourage anyone to get them on their side.

Alan & Lori Made it Happen!

It was truly a pleasure to have Alan and Lori help us find a home.  We are relatively new to the west coast, Alan and Lori were extremely helpful in making sure we were aware of all the important considerations for Vancouver property. We were on the hunt for a detached home, which seemed like an impossible feat at times!

Alan and Lori kept every option open and followed up diligently.   We happened upon our dream home, and Alan and Lori made it happen.

We especially appreciate their attention to detail, with all the unknown surprises that can be present with older Vancouver homes, they made sure every aspect was looked into and we felt 100% secure and confident with the largest investment of our lives.  We are very grateful to have had their experience and expertise leading us throughout the home purchase process.

Easy to Work With & Have Integrity

I am very pleased that I hired Lori and Alan to find my home. They are easy to work with, detail oriented, and most of all, with integrity. Their service didn't stop when the deal is closed. They help me with some outstanding issues even after I moved in. Enough said.

Fantastic & Above Average!

We have worked with Lori and Alan for both home purchases and sales in the last 4 years and they have been fantastic!

They are knowledgeable, dedicated and extremely flexible. In particular their attention to every detail of the Real Estate transaction is above average, we know that when they make a recommendation it is based on concrete research and experience, they always have our best interest at heart.

In the Best of Hands!

Buying a new condo in Canada was a completely new territory for us.  With the fantastic help of Lori and Alan we have been in the best hands.

They explained to us the whole procedure in advance. As we arrived in Vancouver they took so much time to support us, no matter regarding the property viewings or the visits to the lawyers, home inspectors and City of Vancouver.

They managed everything within four days and we are extremely thankful for what they did for us.  Without their professional commitment there would be no chance for us to achieve our goal.  Thanks Lori and Alan!

- Greetings from Sabine, Fritz and Meike. (Germany)

Thanks for Your Hard Work!

I would like to thank you for your hard work.  Without you Henry and I would not have sold the condo in an efficient manner.

- Anne & Henry R.

You Made Relocating Easy!

I just wanted to say thanks for the great job you did in helping me find the condo in Vancouver. You definitely made the moving process a lot easier. Thanks again and I will definitely keep you in mind if I hear of anyone in the market to buy or sell!

Excellent Service!

We want to thank you both for your excellent service!

Moving from out of province we were looking for an agent who would understand our needs, provide advice about the Vancouver market and conduct a comprehensive search of available properties.  

Lucky us, we found two agents that work seamlessly together to meet our needs and more.

From our first meeting on the phone we recognized that you were a special team. You patiently searched and previewed properties for us, arranged a full weekend of viewings, assisted us with each step of making the offer to purchase and insured that all conditions in the offer was met.

Your fantastic service hasn't stopped as you recently approached both the property manager and condo council on our behalf and followed through on questions about storage in the building.

We have already recommended you to family and friends and will continue to do so.Your professionalism, patience, sense of humor, advice and diligence make you the best.

Looking forward to entering our new home with you in July!

- Wendy and Joel

Their Attention to Detail was Amazing!

My wife and I recently purchased a condo in Richmond after a 3-year search for our "ideal" property.  We decided to retain Lori Pettigrew and Alan Yasin this spring after striking out with other Realtors and properties in the Vancouver area.  Lori and Alan were an attentive, patient, and extremely responsive husband and wife team who guided us through the entire process from initial search to move-in.  They provided excellent advice regarding "mature" buildings and their attention to detail was amazing.

Based on our previous experience in purchasing more than 10 properties over the past 35 years, we highly recommend Lori and Alan as real estate consultants ... especially for those who are getting into the real estate market for the first time.

Thank you for all of your help Lori and Alan!  We are very happy with our new condo!
