Testimonials

We recently bought property on Gabriola Island with the help of Lesley and Robyn McMahon. Because we live in Alberta we relied on the internet for our initial search.

Once we contacted the McMahons, they kept us informed by sending us regular current property listings and informative emails with real estate information and helpful personal comments about the area, including referrals to agents in other areas of Vancouver Island that we were possibly interested in.

When we went to the island Lesley met us at her office and spent a half-day driving us around Gabriola Island looking at various properties. She was very professional and provided insightful comments based on her long-time residence on the island. Once we made a property offer, she followed it up with excellent recommendations for legal and other services and wonderfully provided further real estate services via email and telephone including notes and pictures of the property as work was done to complete the sale.

We would recommend her to anybody looking for real estate on Gabriola Island and throughout Vancouver Island.

Buying a house can be an emotional and stressful experience, especially for a newbie home buyer like me. Both the search and purchase of my home was made comparatively simple and stress free thanks to Lesley's direct, honest, clear and relaxed manner.

As newcomers to Gabriola Island, my husband and I were eager to find our dream home and at the same time, find a realtor that could offer us peace of mind. When we met Lesley, we immediately clicked! Searching for our home through endless emails, phone calls, faxes and then a 6 hour day of house viewing, Lesley was always a pleasure to work with. Friendly, insightful, knowledgeable and incredibly organized. Just when I thought I had asked a question that couldn't be answered, Lesley was right there with the answers.

Lesley took every bit of stress out of our move and had it not been for her calming presence throughout it all, it could have been a very difficult move and transition for our family.
Thank you Lesley!!

I just wanted to say how helpful and clever you were in finding the "right house" for my family and that the feeling of comfort and care that you gave me while taking this enormous step made buying my first home a pleasure. You understood my needs almost better than I did, and when the right home came up you wasted no time.
Thank you so much!

It has now been more than seven months since my wife and I moved to Gabriola. We have already had many 'Gabriola moments', including whale-watching from Berry Point, walks on the beach, great concerts, eclectic finds at garage sales and markets, and opportunities to meet many amazing people. Our 'Gabriola moments' have nicely become a 'Gabriola life', and we are enjoying our home immensely

I've known and worked with dozens of realtors over the last twenty-five or so years: many of them were people I met professionally on behalf of my own clients, and several were realtors who were involved in purchases or sales of property for me. I can say without hesitation that you are one of the most effective, most professional, and most helpful realtors I have met. When I recommend you to friends and clients, one of the first things I often say is that you not only found a home for us on Gabriola, but you also made us feel at home.

You were quickly able to learn what we wanted and needed, and you did a great job of showcasing the best options available to us. I've also been very impressed at the way your service continued from the first time we met you, through (and beyond) the day we moved into our home. Thanks again, for the great work!
