Jen & Dave
International Home Buyers and new friends of Patz
We were introduced to Patz by a mutual friend of my sisters in Vancouver. From day one, Patz’s expertise and attentiveness to our specifications was admirable. After meeting with Patz, she produced a list of 10-20 houses which targeted exactly the types of developments we were interested in.
Due to being overseas investors, we obviously had quite a few concerns and questions regarding the Vancouver market and the implications of investing in a foreign country. Patz made the whole process one of the most stress free processes Dave and I have ever been through, from foreseeing our concerns and addressing them in her professional capacity, to referring us onto the appropriate professionals to deal with our issues with buying real estate.
The fact that the whole process was completed within 1 week of us seeing our property, is a testament to Patz dedication, extremely high work ethic and commitment to her clientele to deliver 100 %.
Patz has now been recommended internationally from the UK to Australia due to her professional integrity and kindness to us whilst in Canada.
We can’t wait to come back and have a coffee with you Patz!

"I am writing to highlight what a wonderful job Anne Povey did for my wife and I. We recently closed on a 2 bedroom condo unit in Vancouver's West End. The purchase of this property was a very important one for us as this was our first place in the Vancouver market, a market that we were both not completely familiar with as we moved from Edmonton just a couple of years ago.
"Anne did a great job of identifying comparable units that had sold recently, so that we had a benchmark to work with. She was able to narrow in on properties that suited our needs, negotiate a significant discount from the listed price of the unit that we purchased, and conducted herself in an incredibly professional manner throughout the whole process.
"As an investor who has purchased 20 different properties in the past 5 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many different realtors, some who have been excellent and some who have not been so good. I would classify Anne in the "excellent" class. Her attentiveness to detail, strong negotiating skills, professional integrity, and knowledge of the market make her a great agent. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase a property in Vancouver. Working with her has been an incredibly positive experience."

"The Patz McMillan Team was very supportive and always kept me informed. They are very patient with all questions (and many). Responding to my queries in a timely manner. If I were to buy and sell again I would go back to the Patz MacMillan Team. Thanks!".

"We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Patz for the excellent job she did in representing us while buying and selling. She's always willing to go the "extra mile" whenever we had questions or had concerns. Patz is the first and only realtor we consult. We recommend Patz without hesitation and look forward to working with her again in the future".

"I met Patz McMillan when one of my friends was buying a condo in 2005. I watched how she worked with my friend closely and she won my trust. My friend also spoke highly of her and I decided she would be my realtor should I need one.
In January 2006, I sold my condo with the professional help of Patz. The sale went quickly at a very satisfactory price. She explained the whole selling process in detail right at the beginning. She provided comprehensive information about the real estate market. She planned and applied the best strategy based on the unique characteristics of the property. She worked diligently even late evenings and weekends.
I have had experience working with different realtors several times in the past and Patz is the only one who has the kind of integrity and high standard of morality that I respect. I will definitely work with her again, should I need her expertise in the future, and I will also recommend her to anyone without hesitation."

"Patz thank you for all your wonderful help. You came through for me when things got out of hand. I cannot believe that you sold my place for me while I was in England with my family. You certainly go above and beyond. Thanks to you and your hard work I have a wonderful new home in the heart of the West End. You are definitely 'the realtor friends recommend'.

First time buyer, new friend and Air Canada employee
"One of the warmest, most comforting things you said to me sticks out in my mind and I hope you use this for others in your work as it's a wonderful thing to give them. You told me, "I will be with you through all of this, you don't have to worry, I will guide you through it all". Patz you have no idea what a comfort you gave me from that moment on during this. It was a statement you repeated a few times to me, and I have to tell you, it put me so much more at ease doing all this than I would have been otherwise. It was a small thing to say, took only a moment to say it, but it was a HUGE comfort. And it's stayed with me through it all.
You have given me the benefit of so much of your experience and wisdom through this, but that one small statement was maybe one of the most important things you said to me. As from then on, I knew I would not be floundering around trying to do this and possibly screwing it up. Thank you so much."

Patz McMillan was first recommended to us by our Financial Advisor and what a blessing it was! As young, first-time home-buyers, we had no idea what steps we had to take in order to make our first purchase. Patz McMillan made our life easy from the start. She is an extremely kind and patient individual, and explained everything in great length to us. She made the entire buying experience enjoyable and simple. Patz was always available and her strong attention to detail was an asset. We appreciated her honesty and felt very comfortable having her as our guide. We will use Patz again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.
