Referral for a job well done!
 
I had a friend ask me if I had to sell again who would I choose....I thought I would pass on to you the answer I gave her: Russ Qureshi with Remax Top 20 Realty. This is the second time he has helped me buy and sell.  He is very professional and compassionate.  He goes the added mile in all he does.  I couldn't ask for more.

Another Happy Client!
 
Zora and I want to personally thank you for the exceptional work you did selling our Condo in Gibsons.  You never left us hanging and you were very quick from the start with the listing, the photographs, having realtors through and potential buyers.  We sold our  place much sooner than anticipated and we attribute that to your
expertise and knowledge in the Sunshine Coast market. We also want to thank you for assisting us with the purchase of our condo in Sechelt. We truly cannot believe how efficiently and quickly everything unfolded.
Of course we only have you to thank for this.  We would highly recommend you without a doubt to others buying or selling in your market.

Russ, we want to add our names to your growing list of admiring clients for the work you did in finding us our beautiful home in Wilson Creek and selling our property in Gibsons.  You spent hours over many weekends helping us to understand the real estate market on the Sunshine Coast so that we could make the decision that was just right for us.  Your knowledge of the real estate market was very reassuring and we felt very comfortable discussing our plans and seeking your opinion.  We never felt that you were steering us one way or the other but we know that it was only with your assistance that we made the right decisions.  It was great to work with you Russ; you are a true professional and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was looking for the best real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast.

Quick Sale in a Tough Market  
 
What a great job Russ did for us! He listed our house and sold it quickly in a tough market. He helped with suggestions and ideas. And through it all he was there to encourage, compliment, ease our minds and, most importantly, stay in touch. He’s honest about market conditions and takes your needs into account while trying to ensure the best scenario for all. We would not hesitate to recommend Russ and believe he’s one of the best negotiators on the Coast. He does what it takes to get buyers and sellers together.

Investment property SOLD!

In May of 2007 and again in June of 2008 I engaged Mr. Russ Qureshi to sell my townhouse property on North Road in Gibsons. I found that during the periods the property was listed for sale, Russ provided me with continuous updates in a timely and efficient manner not only on the property but as to the climate fo the real estate market on the Sunshine Coast.  Russ worked hard and diligently on my behalf and with his real estate colleagues to obtain a suitable buyer and the best possible price for the property.  He helped considerably in negotiations and demonstrated a friendly manner at all times together with much patience and understanding to my needs through some quite frustrating times.  His experience, attention to detail, professionalism and thoroughness really helped to find the right buyer for the property.  I was very impressed with his up to date computer skills and knowledge as he provided me with photos and documents via the internet and a special website he had set up for my town home.Russ showed determination during the listing periods and did not hesitate to offer sound advice and positive suggestions on how to market the property effectively.  I found him to be a person of integrity in his profession, which is often critiqued for a lack of quality and trust.  I found him easy to deal with, very personable and I felt most comfortable with him working on my behalf. Russ was recommended to me by my property manager who was managing the town home at the time.  I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Russ to anyone who is looking for an agent to represent him/her in the purchase of a property or in the sale of an existing property.  I am confident in saying that I know that you will be as happy was I was with the quality of the services Russ provides and the results he will produce for you as he did for me.

The right place at the right time!

Thank you once again for the excellent support and services provided to both my mother, Helen, and myself during our recent property search. Our criteria for the "right" property is unique and somewhat of a challenge to locate.  Your enthusastic support, patience and diligence during our search, viewings, and investigations were greatly appreciated.  We are thrilled with our purchase.

Moving closer to the children and grandchildren!

Hi Russ, We are so looking forward to returning to the Sunshine Coast and our new home in September. Thank you so much for the excellent manner in which you helped us locate a home that fit our budget and our tastes so well. Operating from Ontario and not being very familiar with the Sunshine Coast, we wanted to find someone who would partner in our search by educating us about the geography and market dynamics. After being initially disappointed by the lack of responsiveness from one of your competitors we searched the internet and found you.When you responded so promptly at our initial contact through your website last April we said "this guy is on the ball".  From that point on we have been reassured by your constant communications staying abreast of new listings and developments in the buying transactions. On both our trips to the Sunshine Coast to view listings you where very attentive to our needs. What we appreciated most was that you didn't sell as much as you facilitated our searching and buying and decisions. You allowed us to share our reactions to various sites with no judgement. You made it easy to express our feelings and narrow the focus quickly. We are sure a key to our finally getting a deal on the site we liked best was your excellent strategic advice on how to put forward our offer. As soon as we get settled we want to have you, April and your children over for dinner to "christen" the new place.

Moving on....

When my wife and I found a great retirement property and made the decision to sell our condo, we called on Russ Qureshi to help.  Russ came in and did a free property evaluation that we took to the bank to start the paperwork for bridge financing.  Within days, he had our property listed on the MLS, together with realtor Dave Brackett, and scheduled the first open house.  He brought several potential buyers through the place and contacted people he knew who were interested in a property like ours.  Russ came in and took some great photos, and advertised our property aggressively.  Overall, he did an excellent job because our property sold - and at the price we wanted to get!  We highly recommend Russ Qureshi for any of your real estate needs! His service will be above and beyond your expectations!

Thanks for making me look good!

 I want to say thank you for helping me find such a great place in Gibsons for such a good price.  The time you spent in getting to know me and my needs and desires went a long way to help find a suitable place and your understanding helped me clarify my somewhat (?) dithering mind when it came time to make a decision.  This help was inestimable. The negotiation was clean and simple as a result.  In fact, I heard from the seller that the presentation of the offer was one of the reasons she accepted the deal.  Naturally, I took credit:-). She said that she felt that I "got" the place and she liked the way the offer was presented; clear, concise with no messin' around.  As I kept mum I was thinking "thanks Russ".So, kudos to you, your ethics, your knowledge of real estate and your ability to understand your customer's needs.  It was a pleasant experience all 'round.

US seller's expectations exceeded!
 

I chose Russ Qureshi after interviewing 3 other top realtors on the Sunshine Coast.  He impressed me with his friendliness, professionalism, hard work, and detailed and accurate analysis of the market.  His analysis work was far superior to the other realtors. Further, his web site and Internet strategy is cutting-edge.  Russ was also very honest in recommending a selling price for my home.  He worked side by side with me to get my home ready to sell.  As a result, my home in Cascade Heights in Sechelt sold in 1 week.  I highly recommend Russ and am very confident that he will do a great job for you.

$Equity Withdrawal$

We recently used the services of a Remax realtor to sell our townhome and purchase a modular home. Our realtor was the most professional, courteous, and attentive we have ever worked with. He was an excellent negotiator, patient and humourous at the same time, and impeccable as to all the details.All of our needs were anticipated. There is nothing more any realtor could provide than he did. We will recommend him to as many people as we possibly can.The name of this "super guy" is Russ Qureshi.

Happy Homeowners

Now that we are enjoying our new home in Gibsons, we want to offer you our thanks for all your help with the home buying process.  We'd like you to know how pleased we are with your service.  Your relaxed, pressure free, yet always professional, approach made the whole experience of buying our home suprisingly easy.  We know that your knowledge of the local real estate market was a factor in our successful purchase.  Brian and I have bought and sold real estate in the past and have found you to be more thorough and informative than most other agents we have dealt with. Finally, we really appreciate all the help you gave us in organizing things; as out of town purchasers, we were at a disadvantage, but you made our lives easy by making phone calls and ordering services that we needed but had no contacts for.  So, again, thank you for such a smooth, stress free real estate experience!

Jennefer & Brian


Investment property bought and sold!

We have purchased and sold 12 properties over the past 20 years. I have always purchased property thru a licensed realtor. However, before working with Russ Qureshi, I sold each property on my own, feeling realtors were not worth the fees being charged. This past year I worked with Russ to buy and sell our property on the Sunshine Coast. Russ was professional, focused on our concerns and created a very satisfying experience. I strongly recommend his services for anyone looking to buy or sell. Russ is the standard from which we will measure other Realtors in the future.
