Successfully closed the transaction and exceeded my expectations! - CHERYL THORSTEINSON

This was our first time purchasing a property, and quickly realized we had no clue what we were doing or how to do it. Andrew was our contact, and his professionalism and knowledge exceeded expectation in every way. He was easy to get a hold of and made my family and I feel calm and in control during a very exciting, and stressful, time. - Scott Rimek

As a realtor myself (in Ontario) I knew I could count on Neil to deliver, and I must say, he went above and beyond in selling my mother’s condo. Due to illness, my mother hastily moved back to Ontario to be closer to family and could not return to Victoria to prepare her home for sale. Needless to say, it was a semi-stressful time, but Neil and his Team had it all handled. They fabulously prepared my mother’s place in no time, had pictures and virtual tour up and running online very quickly and, as a result, sold the property exceptionally fast – all while keeping in great communication, sending updates to the East! I also trust Neil with my referrals; he has done a great job with other clients from Ontario and I would like to thank Neil and his Team for all the help and the professionalism they exude. I would recommend The Bosdet Homes Team to anyone, anytime. - dan mcfadden

I was Pleased with Andrew, worked with him for several months , he send listings of all that was for sale ,which I finally made a decision to buy in the Beechwood Village ,he had a lot of patience and listened to what I wanted I would recommend him to clients which I know ThankYou - Jeanette Hahn

We lived in CT for 20 years and decided to move to Victoria. I looked up the top agents in Victoria on the internet and narrowed the list down to 5. I sent each an email. Two never responded. Three, including Neil, did. One asked us what we were looking for. She sent a follow-up email and we never heard back from her. Another one did a telephone interview and stuck us on an email blast and we never spoke to her again. Neil did a FaceTime interview and guided us on what was possible in Victoria and what wasn’t. He told us about the market and put us on an automated search. I asked an endless number of questions, most of which he answered quickly and promptly. Some he had to research. The odd few he said, “I don’t know. I don’t think anyone does”. He tried to guide us in our search steering us towards certain things and away from others. I am much too smart to listen to advise from some random person so of course I didn’t listen to him, only to learn that he was right, not that I ever told him that. In February, we decided to come out to visit Victoria. It just so happened that that was the week Neil was going to be away. He told us, “No worries. I’ll have one of my best agents help you”. Yeah right. I have heard that line before and was all set to meet the real estate reject of Victoria. Instead, we were met by Andrew Whidden, a bright, energetic, down to earth young man who showed us around Victoria, sometimes taking us more than once to see the same property. We touched base with Neil when we both returned to our respective homes, his in Victoria and ours in Westport, CT. We told him that Victoria was definitely in our future. He asked if we wanted to make an offer. We already owned two properties in the US and told him we’d like to sell at least one of those before we thought of buying another one. That was in February. Months went by with me constantly badgering Neil with one thousand and one questions, which he did his best to answer. When I felt his patience wearing thin, I told him I guarantee I’d eventually buy a place and it would be through him. He laughed and said,”no worries”. We needed a tax accountant who was familiar with Canada/US tax issues. Neil found us the perfect person. Then, in September, someone put in a bid for our house in Connecticut and they wanted us out in 30 days. Oh God, what had we done. Meanwhile, some of the places in Victoria that we were keeping an eye on, the ones Andrew had shown us, were starting to move. We decided to put in a bid sight unseen on a condo. We had Neil’s word, his annotated video and lots of pics. Andrew had shown us the building. We put in a financing clause we could use to exit the deal if we had to. But, we knew nothing about Victoria. We needed a lawyer, someone to review condo docs, a contractor, and on and on. Neil found them all and all willing to take us on. Then, we got an offer on our property in FL. We were now working on closing sales in CT and FL and a purchase in Victoria. It was a whirlwind of lawyers, bankers and agents. Then we came across a miracle by the name of Alisa Howlett, Neil’s office manager. On days when I didn’t know if I was coming or going, she kept us on track. In the end, we closed on the condo in Victoria. Of the three real estate transactions we were involved in at the same time, the one in Victoria was by far the smoothest. I have Neil Bosdet and his talented and hard working team to thank for that. As a bonus, ask him about “Funktional Art for the Kitchen”. You will be pleasantly surprised. - Anil and Joan Vohra

From the moment we met Andrew from Bosdet Homes, we appreciated his professionalism, candor and willingness to go the extra mile. Because we are new to Victoria, Andrew helped us to look at a variety of different homes and locations until we were able to choose a just right home. But Andrew didn’t stop there, once we were ready to make an offer, the team at Bosdet Homes helped us to navigate the many steps all the way to closing. It felt like a seamless journey, but we know that that is because we were with an excellent realty team! - Ann and George

Sean and I would like to send a big thank you out, to all involved in the purchase of our first home! Everyone was great to work with and we are so happy we chose Dan Hoff as our Realtor. His personal touch and genuine interest in helping us find our perfect home was very appreciated. Everyone he recommended to assist us along the way were also personable and made sure we were taken care of. As first time home buyers we were new to the whole experience and Dan, Neil and the team made sure all our questions were asked and we felt confident in all our decisions. Dan also made it an exciting and memorable time, we were not stressed. We have already recommended him to a colleague looking to buy next year! Thanks again everyone! Warm Regards and continued success to you! Laura and Sean… & Brutus! (our new puppy) - Laura Van Sprang and Sean MacLellan

Very pleased with Lee Andison and Neil Bodset’s team. Everyone was very supportive and knowledgable during our recent very busy transition to Victoria. We found our dream house and never felt rushed or pressured during the process. Would highly recommend Neil and his team if you are buying or selling a house. - Margaret

Neil and his team made what was a new experience for us, selling and then buying, a fairly seamless process and we are grateful for his guidance and expertise. Both Neil and Andrew worked hard on selling our townhouse, and calming our concerns and fears when there were a few bumps in the road. Neil negotiated quickly and with skill for the purchase of our new house, which is our forever-home, and we are so grateful he helped make that happen. They were always incredibly quick to respond to calls, emails or texts, and had great resources for home inspectors and tradespeople. We never felt pressured when we looked at homes, and Neil always had great ideas and options for us. We are thankful we chose Bosdet Homes to guide us through this process! - Jessica and Dusty Tweedhope

Nice persone quick on answer. - Michael Turcotte

Andrew Whidden was our agent, punctual & professional. Backed by a great team. - Janet & Alain Merier

Andrew Whidden was our real estate agent and gave excellent service. We live out of town and I initially came across Neil Bosdet's website 7 months ago. Initial communication was through email and telephone calls with Andrew. Andrew was excellent in answering questions about the Victoria Realestate market, suitable neighbourhoods near University of Victoria. Andrew set up a home search that met our criteria. He would periodically contact me to see how the home search was going. When we had an opportunity to come to Victoria to view some properties, Andrew set up a number of home showings for one day that was very efficient, yet not rushed. Andrew was very personable, professional and unbiased. He also set up a repeat showing in a very speedy, timely fashion. When my husband and I decided to make an offer Andrew gave us excellent advice on the amount. With digital contracts it was very easy and efficiently done. After the offer was accepted, Andrew was always available to answer questions that arose during the process. We feel very fortunate and our extremely happy with our recent residential purchase. We highly recommend Andrew Whidden and the Neil Bosdet team!!! Marian Roesch, Mike Buchanan - Marian Roesch

A few months ago, I decided to place my condo on the market. Neil Bosdet was referred to me from a co-worker and I decided to give him a call. He responded right away and we set up a time to meet. Upon our initial meeting, Neil visually assessed my condo and we discussed purchasing and sales strategies. By the time the meeting was over, we had agreed upon a selling price and targeted a home that my fiancé and I were interested in. Neil left us with a preparation plan prior to listing the condo. Amazingly, shortly after the first Open House, we received 4 offers, all of them over our asking price. After offers of purchase and sales were accepted, the transition to complete all documentation and preparation for closing was made easy by the assistance of Pam and the Bosdet Home Real Estate team. They are easy to work with and guide you through all the steps along the way. In the end, we were able to successfully sell the condo and Neil and his awesome team were able to get my fiancé and I into our first home together! What a great way to start our lives together!!! - Jose Villano

Andrew showed us all the houses that fit within our criteria, and when we decided on one, he made the transaction happen for us quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased with the result and would recommend him to any prospective clients. - Rod & Irene Neufeld

Neil was great, he was always available to help me with my concerns. I came to Victoria for a family matter and before I knew it decided to move here. It was a stressful time selling my home and looking for something that I liked and also could afford. But Neil was always there to help and calm me down. Now we are busy adjusting to our condo. Neil has a great team. Thanks Neil, Pam and Andrew. Denise Jennerich - Denise Jennerich

Andrew was friendly, infomative and helped in many ways to make this purchase go as smooth as possible. I would certainly call him again should I require these services. - Ron Brown

Neil is good I like him - Sharafudin Ali and Fatuma usmael

Neil Bosdett and his team not only found us a townhome we love, they went above and beyond the "call of duty" by helping us out with many aspects of moving in, gave us sound advice, and a list of service people in the community who were very good. We highly recommend this Agency. - Sonia Skelly

I ended up losing multiple offers, and spending a great deal of time to eventually find the perfect place. The team was always responsive and friendly. Will definitely use again. - Jeff

If the system could allow me to rate Neil with 6 stars, I would hit 6 stars everywhere. Neil was simply the best person that could take care of us as first time home buyers but also as new BC resident. Neil has been answering all our questions and more even if sometimes our request where out of the ordinary, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Neil and his team went above and beyond my expectations. Neil is very detailed and supportive always smiling and available in this hectic market. His network around services supporting the purchase of a house are all highly respectable & very professional. I will definitively recommend him to all the people I know that are or will be looking for a house. Thanks so much Neil for all what you did and making that extra mile to allow me and my family to now enjoy our new home. Steve, Valerie & Thomas-Izaäk Gauthier - Steve Gauthier

Neil provided exceptional service and helped us find a home at the right price and location. As we were buying from out of town, Neil provided MLS information and checked out houses for us. He went beyond the call to obtain samples of attic vermiculite and helped to arrange oil tank for removal. His knowledge of local trades and services is invaluable. Sharp negotiator and quick to also let us know if the property value was out of alignment. Professional, approachable, made the transition a smooth process. Thank you Neil BOSDET and team, we would highly recommend your services, Mark and Charline Hooper - mark hooper

I could not be happier with my recent selling of my condo by Neil and the Bosdet team! Their professionalism, friendly attitudes, knowledge and hard work were all exceptional. I will never consider another realtor again, and would not hesitate a moment to recommend them to anyone looking their next realtor! - Akira Y

Hello Pam, I welcome the opportunity to give testimony to the excellent service I received from Bosdet Homes. Both Andrew and Neil responded immediately to my need to purchase a home in Victoria. At the time I had recently moved from Calgary and was experiencing much stress and apprehension in searching for a place in what had been described to me as overly expensive with home prices increasing daily. Andrew demonstrated his understanding of my circumstances and showed me potential homes that fitted with my desire to live centrally where I could walk to most places I would frequent. This included being in walking distance for shopping and services, and recreation. I wanted to be part of a downtown community, and not isolated in a suburb. The first time we met, Andrew had five showings for me,three of which would have been a good fit and I ultimately bought one of these. It’s reassuring to know that Andrew listened to me and did not try to steer me in a different direction which I had just experienced with another realtor. I felt confident in Andrew and in my ultimate choice. I also appreciate the work done by the whole team. Pam was very helpful in steering me through the process. When you’re new to a Province there’s so much you don’t know. The home purchase process was all new - the beginning of many firsts in fact, whereas back in Calgary I was pretty experienced in buying and selling a home. Thank you especially for your efforts to work with my ATB team in Calgary to transfer my HELOC account in light of the challenging time constraints and deadlines. This was an excellent experience for me and I would not hesitate to recommend Bosdet Homes to others looking to engage realty services. Thank you, Hazel - Hazel Lawley

Neil and his team were excellent! We were back and forth from Victoria to Calgary during our house hunt, and Neil was amazing at always making time to see places with us, and for us when we weren't in town. He would always give us his honest opinion, and he even did video-call walk throughs for us when we were away! He didn't pressure us to buy, he listened to us and gave great feedback! I would definitely use Neil again and recommend him to anyone. Neil will go to bat for you, he's very knowledgable, and he's great at his job! - Michelle & Jamie Totten

Neil was very helpful and communicative at all times. He stuck with us through several offers until we were successful in our condominium purchase. We highly recommend Neil and his team. - John Hurlburt

I was very fortunate to have worked with Andrew Widden. When I first came to Victoria, he met to give me an overview of the market and his role as a buyers agent. He sent me new property alerts and extensive strata documentation and helped me to close on a perfect home close to downtown that was in my price range. He saved me a lot of time by reminding me of what criteria were most important, which maintained my focus. He kept in touch by phone and email and was always accessible and prompt. He also has an extensive knowledge of the legal aspects of real estate contracts. I was very happy with Andrew's work and would highly recommend him. Thank-you Andrew! - Valerie Ruhe

Neil did an excellent job helping us understand the Victoria real estate market. He went above and beyond both before purchase and after purchase. I would highly recommend Neil as an agent. - Jill Symonds

I really lucked in getting Andrew Widden as my buying agent. When first contacted I was in no position to purchase, just make general inquires. Andrew never pushed or made me feel rushed. He asked what I might eventually be looking for, created a website that showed me properties that might interest me and answered even the most mundane questions from me promptly and professionally. He stayed with me for the almost 2 years that I began to look. I've dealt with agents who just dropped out of sight when they realized I was just a "possible".. Not Andrew.once my time came to buy, he advised me regarding strategy, I trusted him completely and he negotiated the offer and purchase of the house I absolutely love. I can't thank him enough. The team he worked with were always ready to respond. There were never any waiting times for instructions or help. Well done, guys. And the biggest "thank you". - Nina Causer

We had a wonderful experience with Neil's team who helped us to search and buy our dream home. Our special thanks to Andrew Whidden who guided us through at all stages and was very understanding with all our " First time buyer" queries. Strongly recommend ! - MONA UPRETI

Thank You Neil! You are professionalism at it best! We could not have had a better experience (and we've had a few) We know that those that choose you will be well rewarded. Paul and Loretta - Paul and Loretta Considine

Neil recently assisted us in selling our condominium. He exceeded our expectations in getting us multiple offers and a sale in 5 days. If you are looking for a professional realtor to help you get the job done you won't be disappointed picking Neil. - Terry McKinnon

Hi Neil Our move went very smoothly and we are very happy in our new home. You and your expert team helped us navigate through our buying and selling process in this very chaotic real estate market. We would not hesitate to recommend your team to anyone looking to buy or sell. Sincerely, Jeff & Valerie - Jeff & Valerie
