Client Testimonials:

Buyer client in Vaughan

My wife and I are new comers to GTA since I found a new job in this area about a year ago. We didn't know much about this place so one of our close friends referred us to meet with Sophie to discuss our plan for purchasing a new home. We first met with Sophie at a Tim Hortons, where she immediately grabbed our trust during the meeting because of her sound knowledge, professional looking & warm-hearted smile. In the next four months, she filtered all the options on the market by our budget and preference. It would have been a tough job for any agent because the dream home my wife and I wanted were quite different – I like properties with a huge potential in future growth while she values more in a house's practical usage and first impression. Sophie took on the task without a complaint and did plenty of research on all properties with our targeted features in Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham, which I guess her past professional experience at KPMG has planted the seed of spirit deep inner her heart. Not only she found the dream house that we both love without compromising, but she also bargained and kept the deal well within the budget. Great job Sophie! -- Troy Z

Sophie was quick to understand my needs and steer me in the right direction of swtiching to a decent house that is best in my interest. Her professionalism and warmth made the process of finding a suitable home a lot less stressful than it could have been. I did not need to worry about any of the details as everything was taken care of for me. it was nothing short of phenomenal that you were able to sell our house in just over few weeks at a great price and close in under a month! Your knowledge of the area and your modern approach to marketing were just of the reasons we chose to work with you.Thanks for the great effort!

Satisfied seller in York Mills

“If you want to get the highest price for your property, I strongly recommend selecting Sophie Chen as your real estate agent. She put in maximum effort for me and delivered 111% over my asking price. She advised me every step of the way – from deciding on the asking price, to coordinating the staging and getting professional photography and video done. I was kept in the loop on all showings and their Open House events were a huge success. She developed a brilliant strategy and executed it perfectly. You will not find a more professional and dedicated team to sell your property.”
