ANN WATLEY'S CLIENT-SERVICE PHILOSOPHY

Hi, welcome to my page. I'm Ann Watley, a licensed Real Estate Agent with Pemberton Homes Real Estate Brokerage in the Greater Victoria region. I have had the honor of 18 years of GOLD MLS standing within the Victoria Real Estate Board and the honor of Top "Solo" Agent company-wide for the past two consecutive years at Pemberton Holmes Real Estate, one of the largest independent brokerages in North America, with over 350+ local agents. These awards are based on my high level of commitment and the value I provide to my clients.

As an experienced professional I have helped many families buy and sell their homes, I pride myself in handling every aspect of the sales process - from strategic marketing and showcasing the home, to making sure everything's signed, sealed, and delivered by the closing date when the keys are transferred to the happy new homeowners.

Providing you with comprehensive, high-quality listing service is my top priority. As a part of my service package, I offer professional photography, floorplans, stunning brochures, and much more to market your home in this competitive market. I am a "full service" Real Estate agent with no hidden fees or "add-on" services.

Something I think you'll find that sets me apart in this competitive real estate market, is my level of commitment to the service I provide to my customers. It's easy to make suggestions for changes and to prepare your house for the market, what my clients really appreciate most in these busy times, is that I have the contacts you can trust and rely on to help carry out those tasks. Whether you need a painter, an electrician, a plumber, or any other home service, you can rely on me to provide you with that trusted reference.

Caring, Comfortable, and Motivated. The selling of a home can be for various reasons; not enough room, too much room, transfer due to employment requirements or in our case, the death of a family member. The selection of a realtor that would suit our needs was not a difficult task. Based on several recommendations and a previous interaction with a family member, we selected Ann Watley for the job. She met with us and made us feel very comfortable with the process and that the sale was now hers to worry about, not ours. Ann was always available if there were any questions or concerns. She is caring, highly motivated and ensured that our needs were a priority. Thank You for your incredible work.

Extremely motivated and organized. Essentially I cannot think of a better agent for your needs than Ann. She is extremely motivated and organized. When something needs to be done, it is done and done at the time she says it will be done. She lead us through the sale of our house under a time of great stress for us. We had renters who on the surface were great with lots of good references but who in the end provided no end of grief. Throughout Ann was patient and motivated and managed to sell our home for much more than we thought we could get even under better circumstances. At no point did we feel that Ann was motivated by anything other than helping us. As stated in Ann's email, she has vast experience both in real estate and tenancy as well and should be perfect for your needs.

Dear Ann, I do want to let you know how much my son & I appreciated the time you spent showing us properties as I enter retirement and prepare to downsize. Thank you so much for your thoroughness in preparing suitable properties for us to view. How did my time looking at the property with Ann Watley feel? Over the years I have spent time with many realtors as one sells and buys. When I was with Ann I felt complete confidence in her accurate assessment of properties and the real sense of her desire to find the perfect house for my needs. That was paramount (rather than making a sale). We especially appreciated the time spent in the office prior to going out to view houses, as we reviewed potential houses, their positives and negatives. We felt that this saved us a tremendous amount of time driving around as it effectively reduced the list to the truly appropriate. When we were out viewing properties I was aware of the care and attention that had been given to my requirements. (Continued)



I thought Ann behaved in a truly professional and polite manner at all times; when her cell phone rang she did not interrupt the time she had devoted to us to take phone calls. It takes a skilled and sensitive realtor to tactfully point out factors in each property that could be an advantage or disadvantage, especially as one becomes older. Also, indicating where future buildings and noise may occur could affect the value. Not all realtors are as forthright (or have such a great sense of humour), as Ann Watley. I would happily recommend anyone shopping for a new home to use Ann's expertise. She related well to my 40-year-old son and to me at 70! I was amazed at how accurately Ann read my body language when in certain houses, she was able to tell exactly what I was thinking and be respectful to that. Again my thanks for your guidance.

Less than three weeks. We found Ann to be professional, warm, and caring. As this was an estate sale Ann was very helpful in getting the property ready to sell. She went above and beyond in making the process smooth. This included getting service professionals to complete work on a very tight schedule in order to meet the offer deadlines. Within 24 hours of putting the property on the market, we had an offer of more than the listing price. Thanks to Ann we managed to close and complete the sale in less than three weeks. We were very fortunate to work with Ann and her team.

Patient, Professional & Diligent. We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the assistance you've given us in the purchase of our home. You have been patient, professional & diligent in finding and negotiating a contract on our house. We are very pleased with our purchase. Not only you've helped us buy the ideal home for our needs but you also helped us buy it at a great price. You certainly are a very knowledgeable and thorough professional and we wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend you to anyone. Thanks again for everything.

Source of encouragement. Marlene & I wanted to write & let you know how much we appreciated working with you to buy our new home on the island. Ann, you were marvellous - right from the start! Whenever you met with us it was as though we were the only people in the world, & you had all the time in the world just for us. It was also clear that you knew your market, you identified readily with our needs, & you helped us move past obstacles - in short, you were a terrific guide in getting us to where we needed & wanted to be! You were friendly yet professional in our dealings & you were a source of encouragement & this, coupled with your keen insights & common sense wisdom, all made it a delight to work with you. (Continued)



And even after the sale, you went over & above to help us get a smooth transition into the home. But what impressed us most of all was your complete openness & your total honesty with us, every step of the way. Ann, we would recommend you without hesitation to anyone seeking a Real Estate Agent who can truly understand their needs & help them get the home they want, with all the added benefits mentioned above thrown into the mix. We wish you continued & much deserved success in this New Year!

Quick, efficient and empathetic. Thanks so much for your message, Ann! I have been enjoying the peacefulness of being settled in my new home and wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated your honesty, integrity, professionalism and compassionate commitment to helping me move forward in a challenging situation. When I first met with you and discussed the need to sell our home, I was reassured that I would have support to do this and that we would be treated fairly, and I was right. I am grateful for all your help from staging the house, recommending cleaners, landscapers, movers, clarifying information and collaborating with ourselves and our tenant, and other realtors while remaining positive and professional throughout the entire process. (Continued)



I especially appreciate our tour of several possible homes for me to purchase in one very busy afternoon, and your reminders to me of the criteria I wanted in a home and encouragement not to act in haste. You were always just a phone call away and despite the challenging nature of the sale, I enjoyed the process of working with you and became more enthusiastic about my future and the new chapter in my life. I will (and have) highly recommended your services to anyone interested in buying or selling a home, and would be happy to have my positive, professional experience with you used as a testimonial. Thanks again, for the energy, dedication, and professionalism you provided to assist the sale of our home in such a quick, efficient and empathetic manner. All the best,
