About Us
I have been a professional agent for 30 years. When you are looking to sell or buy the most important decision you will make is who you choose to represent you. This person needs experience, knowledge and be able to give advise you can trust. I can offer all my customers this and .
more. I am patient and listen. No home is the same so I create customized marketing packages for sellers and also for buyers to ensure their needs are met and that I give them the absolute best series possible.
Ref from clients:
Connie Adams: Hanne you are the best support and have always gone way beyond what an agent would do. You have been there for me when anyone else would have walked away and never said no or quiet. You have made such a fiffeneced in my life. I can never repay you for all the help you gave me. I am now in my new home which I never thought I could ever have gotten into.
Dianne and Tom: Thank you for working so hard for us to sell our home . It was not an easy task but you made it seem easy. You were always honest with us and did the many extra things which made us get a higher price then we ever thought we could. You even did a free personal staging of our home. We almost wanted to stay once you finished in a few hours. Thank you Tank you.
Tomas: Hanne you are simply amazing I would recommend you to anyone and would never us anyone else fo ray real estate.
Ted: after my wife left I needed someone to talk to and trust with my investment and it was hard as I was going through a mixed up time. You suggested we talk in general of my options and you recommend I think it over fora month before selling to make sure this is what I wanted. You are never putting pressure on me and this was really appreciated. We then sat down and made plans for where would I go when and if I sold. As it turned out we both agreed it was financially better to keep the house until next year. Perfect choice.
Shelly Winstra: Well my dear you are a refreshing chance as an agent and I have had many. You told me exactly what you let as a professional and did not sugar cost it. I needed and wanted that . I was able to talk to you and you kept all my information confidential which was so nice and expected of an agent but you actually did do that,. You guided me and gave me enough information you I could make some choices thank you so much I value your and your service.s you are now a good friend and I am blessed to have gotten to know you.
How We Got Started
My parents and I owned a restaurant which was standing room only. When my father passed away suddenly my mother and I decided to sell it. My husband suggested I join him in real estate as he could see the passion I had in helping people. I have never looked back since.

The best way to get great leads is to talk to your friends, family, if you get servicing one say on your dishwasher ask the repair person if they have an agent , talk to people you meet but not about real estate about what is important to them, if they drive a car you like comment on it , how long have they had it, make small talk, do they live local , how do they like it , and wait for them to ask what you do for work Then say I am a professional realtor and love my work, how about you what do you do? Then let them ask you for advise or not. When leaving say her is. my card if you or anyone you know need an agent who cars about the client stye work with. stay as little as possible as this makes them feel you are not needy and were not talking to them just to make deal.

Success can be measured in many ways. 2020 is a year of Covid and many people who are having stress at home and also for their business. My business is personally exceptional , a busy year. Yet to me success if in making a difference to those in need of compassion and kindness. There are may who are finically touched and also emotionally. I decided to start baking bread , sour dough to be exact. So as I have never made sour dough but an advanced cook and bake in general I decided to learn.Since the start of COVID I have no as of today bakes with over 940 pounds of flour and deliver every day 2 to 4 loaves to random recipients , the elderly, your young, the ones in my own neighbourhood, my current and past clients and anyone who could use a little pick me up. I baked them in a COVID free kitchen , wrapped them to ensure they were safe for anyone getting them and places my card on the bag to make sure they could call if they had any clergies or were worried as to where the bread came for. So success to me at this moment is improving the quality of life for others, making their day a little easier and putting a smile on their face. It is not always about how much money you make its about making a difference.

I have to say I am so grateful for my family who have so far stayed are with this COVID situation . My son Inlaw is upfront in East Vancouver as a firefighter and he does it with passion and a desire to help everyone in need. My daughter who has Jack and Audreys natural and organic business makes the most amazing soaps and other products. She works 10 hour days as this is all made by her by hand with all organic products but she took the time to donate 150 soaps to shelters to help keep the people safe. They do not have a lot of extra money but feel its important to help others in need. I have baked with our 900 pounds of flour and been able to deliver bread to homes in our community to people in need and hopefully make a difference for them . My loyal clients come to me for all tier real estate need as they know I will be honest , help them with whatever they need and make sure they are septs safe again with COVID. Could into be any more lucky then this and proud of my daughter and son in law for what they are doing

30 years ago when there was no networking as we know it today. I took the very best agents I knew and added them to a brand new networking list. Made space for one agent in each area as if one is away the second on the list would get the call. I put 8 agents on my list and asked them to fill the spots of anyone they knew who stood out and would give our networking team strength and acknowledgement of the best in the profession. Everyone knew that sometimes you get clients who are not fitting right so we allowed for two complaints after that they were removed. We wanted to ensure they gave the best service for the buyers and sellers. Our networking grew fast and the very first person I put on there was only 1 week into the profession. I had a strong feeling he would be good. Within his first year he became #1 in Canada for the company . He was mazing as were all the others on our list. We agreed not to step into the other agents area and would always refer our clients to the ones on the list. We set up a conference and met up in a hot destination for conference where everyone shared what they felt were their best tips for success. What worked for them and what did not. As we were not working other ares this did not cause any conflict and no one copied the other agents programs unless they were offered. I am now 32 years in the business and still loving helping buyers and sellers.
COVID has had a positive affect on myself and other agents. It has forced us to go back to what we learnt many years ago, me 32 years ago. We learnt that speaking to our clients by phone, email and hand written letters is key to getting referrals. This has increased my business and I am having...

COVID has had a positive affect on myself and other agents. It has forced us to go back to what we learnt many years ago, me 32 years ago. We learnt that speaking to our clients by phone, email and hand written letters is key to getting referrals. This has increased my business and I am having one of the biggest years ever. We need to connect with past clients at least 10 times a year to stay relevant to them . So it has been very good. I have created some excellent COVID sealed packages for my clients to ensure we are COVID safe and so is the sellers and buyers we are in contact with.
I do not use Linedin at all did way back but it is not a platform which was very beneficial . So I choose not to use it the past 3-4 years. My best networking is face to face with past clients be it meeting up with them or emails and also zoom meetings

My networking has not changed that much. I have always connected on a regular bases with past and current clients, both by phonemail and hand written letters, and email, as well as other interns connections. I still do distancing with clients in person. This is a time we can be creative if we want . I have baked with over 300 pounds of flour the past two months and with the virus affecting people, financially, not being able to go out or simply stressed . I deliver fresh baked sour dough bread each day to people who need a little help. This is done because I care, but it also has been a great way to network with new clients.

There are so many things you can learn on the net. I am taking marketing courses to help generate my new approach to selling real estate. Personally challenging myself in baking sour dough and other beads. testing recipes and finding ways to use what is in the pantry and creating some amazing recipes for my husband and myself. I'm using zoom to communicate and creating some blogs as well as videos which will come out as soon as they are done. This is not a time to get depressed its a time to be creative and see how you can change up how you look at life, how you can assist other members in the community in need and work smarter

When I sell a home for my clients I ensure they are aware of exactly what I do and do not do. This is done buy way of a full all inclusive package I have customized . I explain what internet programs I use to attract the highest number of buyers. These I have created myself and are exclusive to me. When I have done over my full service package my new clients are educated and also know what to expect and have the comfort of knowing I am working for them and what they can expect . This is so important as I know when you go to a doctor you think after I wish I asked???? With my program there is noting left unanswered as they feel all the questions they might have are already answered for them. Its something all agents should do so they can be more confident in their services and make their clients happier. It all depends on the profession if a person does or does not educate the client . It think I would call it more a calcification of services. The is really no need to educate them n technology in any great depth . Its all about service in my profession

MY past clients are the best resource for me. When I sell a home to or for a client I ask them is there anything I could improve on my services to make you future transaction smoother or better. I tell them that my goal is to give the best service possible. most of the time I get back compliments and nothing needed but if anything does I address it as we are all different and have different needs and wants. I offer 3 business cards and ask if they know anyone who is looking to sell or buy to please let them know to call me and ensure I know you sent them so I can give them a nice thank you gift. The gift varies in what I give but can be a Visa card, large amazing gift basket or what I know this client needs or would like . I get 90% business back from this small gesture.
