I HIGHLY recommend our realtors Shannon Ezekiel and Christine Lopez. They helped us buy our first home--a townhouse in Kitsilano as we were expecting our first child. More recently (and another child in the picture) they provided us with very sound advice with respect to the timing of listing our townhouse and purchasing a new home. Their advice was honest and wise and truly made with our best interests in mind. In addition to providing sound a reliable advice, they went to great lengths to show our home on so many occasions and took us to countless homes to view. Because they work as a team, one was always available. They always returned calls or emails within minutes. They had amazing and creative ideas in a tough market as to how to feature our townhome and get people in to see it, which eventually lead to the sale of the townhouse in a very challenging market. being in tune with all of our needs and tastes, they were then able to find us our existing house before it was even officially listed and we were able to buy it at the very lowest point in the market which was a huge benefit to us and over a year later, we are so thankful and thrilled with our new home with is perfect for our family. Shannon and Christine must have taken us to look at about 25 homes before this one. We knew Shannon and Christine were providing excellent service throughout our experience, but we have come to learn just how exceptional they were when we compare our experience with other people's experiences. We haven't spoken to anyone who got the same kind of attention and service we did. They love their work and it shows. We cannot recommend them enough! They were beyond excellent.

Shannon Ezekiel and Christine Lopez are superlative real estate agents. They know their business, their market and their city.
They are no pressure saleswomen who are intelligent, professional and very pleasant to work with.
They recently helped us sell our house and did so in a very expedient way and managed to get us a sale well over our asking price. Their strategy was perfect for our particular house in today’s unique market.
On the buying side, they both spent endless hours researching, and taking us around to many condos to find the one for us. They did not hesitate to discourage us from properties which they knew had known problems.
They ascertained what we really wanted in a condo by reading between the lines in all our conversations and found us the perfect place.
Their whole method of service was about us, not about them or their business. They are humble, appreciative, thoughtful and kind people who pay attention to all the details. They are communicative, clear and knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend to anyone in the market to buy or sell a property.
Thanks again,
Courtney Smith and Kathy Barrett
“It was nothing but a pleasure to have the team of Chris & Shannon working in our corner. You were responsive, fast, on the ball and you did a great job finding us our first house! We look forward to having you represent us again.”

Dear Chris and Shannon
I want to thank you for the fantastic work you did selling my condo! When I accepted a career advancement in Toronto I needed to sell my Vancouver condo quickly and asked the two of you to look after the sale. You advised me on appropriate pricing and worked quickly to get my condo listed and advertised. The marketing materials were very creative and professional and you were great at communicating to me all that I needed to do to sell my place. My condo sold quickly for a great price and, although it was my first time selling real estate I felt at ease with the whole process. I would like to thank you for all of your great work and will definitely pass on your names to any friends that need real estate services in the future. If I ever move back to Vancouver you will be enlisted to find me another place!
Sincerely,

Dear Chris & Shannon,
You did a fantastic job selling our condo. As you know, my wife and I had listed our penthouse at UBC last year. Though the market had been strong last May/June, we were unable to generate much interest, and during our six-month listing period did not receive an acceptable offer. We therefore terminated the listing. We received your mailer soliciting new listings almost concurrently with our decision to re-list our property. Your well-written letter of solicitation prompted us to invite you for a conversation. Our initial conversation was very positive, and our impressions were fully bourne out by facts.
To our delight, after a three-week listing, we received an offer which led to the sale. Thanks to your skillful guidance, our sale price was very close to the list price. It was a joy dealing with you throughout our short relationship. We will certainly turn to you again with all our real estate dealings.
We wish you the best in your future endeavours.
Sincerely,
Volker E. Stockmann
