We always ask our clients to write or email us, and tell us truthfully how they appreciated our service to them. Their feedback is so important! Here are a few highlights of what people are saying about us...
Prior to listing with Ron Neal, in the 10 weeks or so our previous realtor was working for us, he brought zero offers and only three or four showings.What a difference when your team took over! Listed on a Thursday - multiple showings and an offer on the Sunday.Wow- 3 Days!!!
A job very well done! ( We should have picked the best first though!)
Thanks, Andrew and Christine Hildred.

Shelley Mann was great. She knew what I wanted and knew we had to act fast. Her advice was right on, and every bit of the purchase went smoothly.
Thanks, Jude.

When I decided to sell my condo I wanted more than simply having it listed. I also wanted it to be marketed effectively and be kept informed about showings, advertising and comments from other realtors. That is why I chose Ron Neal who met all my expectations and sold it within $2.400 of his recommended price.

I hadn't officially thanked you in writing for the wonderful service that I received from you. I found selling of my previous house very frustrating and time consuming. That was until I hired the right team.... the Ron Neal real estate team. Not only quick in selling my previous home at a fair price, but very helpful in finding me the perfect house that I'm in now. It has everything I had on my "need to have list" as well as most things on my "would like to have list". Peggy was very professional during both transactions and knew exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly use the Ron Neal team services in future and would recommend them to anyone looking for the best deal. Unfortunately up until this point I have had no friends looking to buy or sell a home. Of course the other big bonus was in having my name drawn at your annual customer appreciation picnic and winning the trip for two to Mexico, just for using the right people to do the right job. When working with the Ron Neal team, everyone's a winner!! Thank you very much for your past services. Valerie Foord

We thank you and your most proficient team in helping us to sell our last home so expediently last year in Saanichton. We are now nicely settled into a town home, "The Gardens", Polo Park Estates. Again, thank you, and we continue to pass on our experiences and recommend you to our friends who are wanting to sell their home.

Your team sold our home at 3901, Happy Valley Rd. In Metchosin. This was quite a difficult property to sell, and we were greatly impressed by the efficiency of the team, and above all the honesty. Having had previous bad experiences with Realtors we were quite nervous. But, everyone involved in the sale put us at our ease and gained our confidence. The property sold in 7 weeks and we were able to continue with our retirement plans. Honesty and integrity were what we were looking for, and we found it with your team. It restored our faith in human nature after our previous bad experiences.

A few years ago I decided to sell a piece of property which had been rented for seven years. The market was sluggish at the time and although the property had a lot of good qualities, it had been somewhat abused over the years and even with a fair amount of work, it still had scars and needed to have its good points emphasized in order to be sold. Ron made a few suggestions to me and his team did the rest. The house was sold in a few weeks. Everything was handled smoothly and competently throughout. Thanks, Ron!

We decided to move up in the market with the purchase of our second home. We had many hurdles: Our interest rate guaranteed by the bank was expiring in a couple of months and the new interest rate was going to put moving out of our reach. Although we looked at many homes, I was really only interested in one and it was out of our price range until it came down in price twice. Our home could only sell in time to a developer client of Ron's who saw the potential for another home on the lot but had to purchase a few feet off of our neighbour which he could actually never use. This hurdle alone was amazing to pull off. Everything came together in time to make the bank rate. We were already thrilled, what a guy. Crystal and Howard Harding

We are very glad to have a chance to write about our experience with you. You literally changed our lives. My husband was posted to one of the ship at Esquimalt base. We were offer a great opportunity to come back to Quebec. We only had been in our condo for 8 months by that time and the market was bad for condos. We actually tried with an other realtor with an other company but in 3 months we only had 2 visits. A friend of my husband told us about Ron and his team. We gladly went. We were really empress with your team. Within days with had visitors. We were very anxious to sell since we were moving at the end of July 95 and it was only a month away. Ron reassured us by saying that we could do everything long distance if we had to which is exactly what happened. We sold our place and we able to build the house of our dreams. Now our new baby daughter gets to grown near her family. We often speak of Victoria and how we wouldn’t mind going back. Rest assure that if we do have such and opportunity we will contact you.
Sincerely Nathalie Drouin and Marc Fortin

We selected the "Neal Estate Team" as our realtors because of your unique "guaranteed sale" plan. I don't think you can put a price on the peace of mind we felt, knowing that our home would sell, in a reasonable length of time, for a fair price, no matter what.
As you will remember, our home sold in about 3 weeks, and I think this was due to the fact that you had skilfully "read" the housing market, and accurately determined the highest price we could get for a quick sale.
Ron, after all is said and done, the bottom line for us was RESULTS. We are satisfied customers and we've told our friends that if you want a dedicated, professional approach for a quick sale at a fair price, call Ron Neal!
Thank you, Liz and Stan Tyson

My wife and I moved to Vancouver when I was offered a great short term job (5 years) with a major credit union. After leaving on short notice we asked Ron Neal to sell our home in Victoria. He and his staff kept us well informed of what they were doing and ended up getting us close to full price in a very slow market. Over the years I have asked for additional real estate information and have found his staff to be up to the task. We decided to return to Victoria and again asked Ron and his staff to find us a place. With much effort on their part we are again settled and back in Victoria. Over the year I have recommended many people to you and your company and will continue to do this in the future. We can only wish you greater success in the future.
Best regards, Gary and Ingrid Shillington

When you buy your first home, you describe a dream and a wish, most times it's just not going to happen. With the Nealestate team they said it would and they made sure it did. Describe your dream, keep your wish....

I chose to work with you on my last sale and last purchase, not because you are a client, but because I believed that you would give me the best bang for my buck... and you did! During my purchase, you gave great advice and your negotiation skills helped me pay a lower price for the property than I could have otherwise. On the sale of my property, your assistance gave the confidence to hold out for a higher price than I would have on my own. Your professionalism and skills are greatly appreciated.

I was happy with the purchase of our home, and the professional manner in which it was handle. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any friends.
Thanks, Bev Comeau

When I found the condo " beyond my wildest dreams", I needed to get rid of my home within days in order to seal the deal. I contacted Ron and asked if he could purchase my home (that I had resided in for 35 years) if he was unable to sell it. He assured me that he would, but within days, he sold the house for a good price. I don't plan to use his services again as I never want to leave my large condo and its wonderful views. Ron, that last paragraph may not be to your liking, but it is true! Thanks for the great service you rendered to me. I have given your name to several of my friends when they talk about moving. To this day, none have moved, but they do have your name along with my good references!

Many realtors have tried and many have failed....the only one real estate broker that managed to succeed was you guess it.. Ron Neal and of course his wonderful team of Nealites. I tried to sell my 12 suiter for years and in this competitive business, only hard work and a bit of luck can make it or break it for the client. I had a feeling Ron was going to be the one who will sell my building. His easy going style and his milded mannered sales pitch managed to convinced me that perhaps I was dreaming a bit too high for my building. He managed to convey to me that perhaps lowering it would do the trick. I tell you , I am a hard person to convince to drop my price.... ask the other brokers who tried. After suffering through my barrage of rebuttles , no's, no way jose's and get real Ron, somehow Clark Kent managed to sooth my soul that Superman couldn't and I semi-reluctantly drop my asking price. And within a week or two, it was sold. Ron Neal is an ordinary person, a family man, a creative businessman. With his boyish charm and quirky grin he will definitely come through. I know a lot of good real estate agents out there and most of them are my friends. It's just so happened that Ron was one of those good friends out there that took the job and sold my building. Glad to help tell others about you Ron....

When I listed my condo for sale I was pleased with all the careful checking you did to see that I would get the best price honestly. Ever since the sale, your follow up was, and still is much appreciated!! Thank-you for the good work.

Although we had ascertained that you came highly recommended, our main reason for choosing you as our realtor was that you offered us a guaranteed sale option, that if you couldn’t sell our house, you would buy it from us. This was especially important to us as we had already purchased and moved into our new home and from a financial point of view, the guaranteed sale option offered us peace of mind that we wouldn’t have to worry about financing two homes at the same time. The paperwork was accomplished in a couple of days and we were able to sleep soundly again!
You and your team, and of course, the guaranteed sale option, made all the difference to us. We’re satisfied customers and have been recommending you to our friends.

We want to thank you for the excellent professional honest service in selling our house. It was always a pleasure to deal with you and all your associates. Your guaranteed sale option has contributed greatly to our peace of mind when purchasing our present house. As it turned out we did not have to take advantage of your offer, since you were able to sell our house in a much shorter period of time than we expected. It was nice to know that your guaranteed sale option was always there in case we needed it.
Thank you again for your service, Sincerely Andy and Sally Tyroler

Thank you for all the extras you did, like getting me into my house when I forgot my key (twice). I feel it was beyond the call of duty. Many thank to you all for your help in selling my home. God bless you all and may you prosper as your soul prospers.

We found his Guaranteed Purchase Plan comforting, and in the end it indirectly benefited our sale. His buy-out of our purchaser’s townhouse thus facilitated our transaction. We would have no hesitation to use Ron’s services in future endeavours. His honesty, efficiency and professionalism was greatly appreciated and to this end we would recommend his services to anyone in the real estate market.
Yours Truly, Harry Demchuk

Our one concern when listing with you was the attention we would receive given how busy you and your team are. As it turned out, we needn’t have worried.. Dealing with your team was like dealing with a family of friends – everyone immediately knew who we were and went out of their way to help us when we called with questions or requests. You gave us all the time we needed to talk about issues and to see potential homes. Though we knew you were very busy, you never made us feel like you had to be doing something else. We always felt like we were your most important customers.
Besides the excellent service offered by The Neal Estate Team, we were impressed with the quick sale of our condominium and the purchase of our new home. We feel we received a fair price for the condominium and that we were able to negotiate an equally good one on the new home.
Your’s truly, David and Heather Ranson

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you Ron, and all of your staff, for the tremendous job you did for us. You really worked as a team to make us happy. I remember saying to Brian at one point, “I know Ron and his team must be very busy, but I feel like we are their only customers. They are always there when you need them.” Thank you so much for everything!
Cheers, Brian and Lee McKenna
Dear Ron,
I wish to thank you for the great service that I received in the selling of my condominium in Victoria on Hillside Avenue. Your representative, was more than helpful in all aspects. I really depended on his knowledge. He kept myself and my Aunt well informed of everything that was taking place, all the way down the line from the time I contacted him to the final farewell when all was done. I have no negative comments whatsoever, and can honestly say that I would never hesitate to recommend Ron Neal and his team.
Thanks again, Betty Dousett.
We were 100% satisfied with our experience. Their professionalism and knowledge were both extensive and they were always lovely to deal with. Our buying agent was especially a pleasure with her "go get em" attitude. She was very effective in sharing her criticisms but never overwhelmed us. We were lucky to have her as our buying agent. Thanks for everything!
Peter Fraser and Jaime Nelson.
To Ron Neal and The Neal Estate Team,
We would like to say thank you, from Bea and Claude Bell, for the service you provided with our dealing with you on our recent purchase. Shelley Mann looked after our interests above and beyond her call of duty, to her job and you. She was a very happy and pleasant young woman to work with. We will highly and gladly recommend you in any way we can in the future.
Sincerely, Bea and Claude Bell.
First let us apologize as this letter is long overdue. After a month of windstorms, power outages, and the holidays, we finally have a chance to sit down, collect our thoughts and put them on paper.
We would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful room at the Empress Hotel you arranged for us. The view of the inner harbour from our room was fantastic! When we arrived, we were also surpised with a gift basket from your group in the room - what a treat! We somehow managed to make our way through the whole bottle of sparkling wine before heading downstairs to Aaron's Christmas party..how nice not to have to drive!
Just when we thought our experience with your group couldn't get any better, you proved it could. Not only did you do a great job with the sale of the house, but you have made us feel valued as clients. Although we don't plan on selling our current home anytime soon, you can be sure that we'll recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a realtor. You have definately earned our loyalty!
All the best in 2007. Best regards, Cary and Aaron Drabitt
You did a great job... above and beyond the call of duty! After the sale offered to come and help me out, and have helped fix things for me already. Thanks!
Much appreciated! Barry Andruschak.
I would just like to say "Thank you, thank you", for the wonderful service of you and your company and especially Shelley Mann. Shelley was most attentive and friendly, nothing seemened to be insurmountable all problems were taken care of immediately in a professional way. I would recommend you and your team any time I am able. I have told all my friends how happy I was. Happy Christmas to all and a great New Year.
God Bless, Thelma Clark.
We bought our first house and we were incredibly pleased with our choice!! Initially we were not totally convinced we were seriously looking and your buying agent was the selling agent on a house that was really pie in the sky for us. In comparing that house with others we fell in love with another house and eventually asked to help us with the offer. She suggested we look at a few more which was a good idea, but only solidified our love for the one we bought. She then negotiated a very reasonable price for us and has since been key in helping us get a new roof on the house (prior to possession) since it has developed a leak with all the crazy storms we have had. She is easy to talk to and has held our hands through the somewhat overwhelming ordeal of the first house. She makes it clear exactly what we need to do and when, and has had everything we need taken care of done very promptly. I have already recommended her to others who are hoping to get in the market early next year!
Thanks, Erin Annandale & Darrin Marr
Thank you Ron Neal Estate Team!
We have had a very stressful year as my husband had to start a new job in Calgary, AB. The children and myself had to stay in Victoria until the start of the school year. A total of 5 months… We started with one real estate company with no success. We even waited 2 weeks to have subjects removed and found out the buyers were not pre-approved. What a waste of time. We decided we needed to change agents so we could say it must have been the company not the house. I do not want to mention names but a low percentage company may not be the best route. We phoned and told our story. Said “would try best to sell the house quickly”, called us several times to keep me updated which was a change from the first real estate company. There were several showings and a few open houses, gave us ideas on how to market our house. After many phone calls and negotiations our house sold in less than 3 months. Subjects were removed in a week and possession date was completed in one month, recommended a lawyer that quickly had papers transferred to Calgary which made the process easier and faster as well. A company like RE/MAX works many hours and with many different angles.
Thank you again, Michelle, Clayton and children.
I loved the personal attention that Shelley offered. I found her both professional & very personable. The Team approach was great because I knew that there was always someone to help me. I would & have suggested your office to my friends.
Thanks, Patti Dyck
Thank you very much. We just wanted a recent print out of local real estate, but your straight forward, no nonsense approach sold us by the end of our first meeting. Not only was the advice and suggestions you gave us reliable and sound, but your professionalism and demeanor was greatly appreciated. You helped us find the perfect house for us and when we have it fixed up, you're more than welcome to stop in for a celebrating drink!
Thanks again, Jeremy & Stana
Was a great help to us in our search for a house. We had 5 days to find and buy a house. He set up viewings in very short time, usually for the next day and had valuable insights into localities and life in general in Victoria. We came here from Ontario so it was a bit of an adjustment. Kept in touch with us after we bought the house to apprise us of changes and work progress. I would recommend him to others in military families. He also did a good job putting up with the noise from our two little ones!
Thank you, all is well so far. Take care, Colleen Roberts
I have been in my house for three months now and it's beginning to feel like a home.
This, my first house purchasing experience, was an excellent experience. Thank you for taking me through this process from beginning to end with ease and often enjoyment. As most people know buying a house in Victoria can be competitive, fast and furious. My experience was no different. Shelley was "on it" every moment answering my call/emails promptly; meeting with me when needed; keeping me up to date with what was going on with the market and closing the deal on the house I wanted. Shelley met and exceeded my expectations of a realtor. I think she really cared that I got the home I wanted and that meant a lot.
Thank you Shelley. I know you will continue to do well because you put your all into what you do.
All the best in the future, Sincerely, Michelle Leo
When I phoned to enquire about listing my condo I was assigned to Shelley Mann. She came promptly and was dressed in an executive suit and was most informative and professional. Our subsequent meetings were less formal but we came to know each other and our expectations. We settled on a price and date of possession and she got me what I had asked for in two days! Of course I am happy with the result.
Catherine Shantz.
My husband and I recently bought our very fist home in Campbell River! We used a realtor from The Neal Estate Team in Victoria. We looked to buy in Victoria for over a year and a half and realized we couldn't afford what we needed. Our agent was very patient with us and worked with us for the entire time. We viewed dozens of houses not only in Victoria but 3 hours up island as well. He was there. He was reliable, dependable, and trustworthy and never pressured us. He listened to us and was extremely communicative and worked with us until our needs were met. He was present during each home inspection and answered all our questions regarding financing and put us in touch with all the right people to seal the deal. Finding the right house was a little like a roller coaster ride, but with him it was easy to relax, stay calm and enjoy the ride. We will definitely work with you again. We thank him for all his extra hard work and the high quality of professionalism he served us with. We will refer you to all of our friends
Cheers, Velle and Aaron Whitman
