Consulting a REALTOR®
REALTORS® are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association who subscribe to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Victoria Real Estate Board are members of both the British Columbia and Canadian Real Estate Associations.
The following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR® when you buy a home:- A REALTOR® will fully explain the details of your working relationship (called "agency") so that you are clear as to when a REALTOR® is working for you or for the seller.
- A REALTOR® has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale because of a co- operative system called the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®).
- A REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list of homes that best meet your needs -- size, style, features, location, proximity to schools, shopping, etc. - and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that appeal to you the most.
- A REALTOR® will help you determine how big a home you can afford. REALTORs® are familiar with the local lending market and can offer helpful advice.
- A REALTOR® has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be objective in pointing out the merits of one home over another.
- A REALTOR® will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs and school and recreation services that could affect your decision to buy a home in a specific area.
- A REALTOR® will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase, which can be a nerve- wracking process for someone who is not experienced in negotiating.
- A REALTOR® will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining title and taking possession of your property; the costs associated with buying a home such as insurance, mortgage registration and legal fees will be explained in detail.

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®
Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.
Greater exposureREALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.
Setting a priceSetting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.
REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.
Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.
Why working with a REALTOR® makes senseWhen you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.

Feel confident when working with Jackie as a Certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and a Certified Negotiation Expert. I am one of the many who had the opportunity to grow up in
Edmonton, Alberta, and had the privilege to move to Vancouver Island over 20
years ago. I proudly became a true islander and settled with my family in
the beautiful Cowichan Valley, one of my most favorite places in the world.
I am a graduate of the Westerra Institute of Technology (now part
of NAIT) in the Computer Publishing & Systems Management Program and later Web Applications Development at Computer Master in Victoria. After
graduation from Westerra, I had the opportunity to work for over 10 years in the print
publishing industry working my way up to one of the largest print shops in
Edmonton at Quebecor. After moving to the island and completing my web application program I started my own business building small business websites. With that experience, I had the opportunity
to develop strong marketing, sales, business management, and communication
skills. My passion for providing exceptional service in an upscale
environment for my clients naturally carried over as my desire to focus on the
real estate industry began to unfold.
The opportunity to help families find a new home or move on to a
new destination is a special experience and privilege that I enjoy with my
clients. The journey to find my calling in life as a real estate agent
has been enjoyable and I feel fortunate to love what I do. Prior to
joining Pemberton Holmes Ltd., I was with a local boutique Real Estate company
of Osborne Realty. My success is fueled by my desire to provide extraordinary service to my wonderful sphere of clients. It gives me
satisfaction to know that I am renowned for showcasing my client’s property
with state-of-the-art marketing, professional photography, and artistic
interior designer touches.
Vancouver Island is considered by many as one of the most
beautiful places in Canada to live. This region enjoys a multitude of
world-class events, such as extravagant wine & food shows, automobile shows, and international golf tournaments. If you are considering purchasing a
vacation home or relocating to this “paradise on earth” my extensive “LOCAL”
knowledge of the area can help you find the perfect home matching your
lifestyle desires. During your home buying or selling process, I guarantee
to exceed your expectations!
