"We have used Cheryl's services both for a purchase and a sale.  She was knowledgeable, helpful and always cheerful.  We would (and have) recommend her without hesitation.

Charlie & Deanna Rivers"

"We want to thank you for all your efforts in selling our home in Victoria. Prior to choosing a person to market our home, we interviewed a number of realtors from different agencies. It was clear to us from the beginning, your professionalism set you apart from the rest.
During the course of the time our home was for sale, your attention to the details is what really stood out for us. It was not easy commuting back and forth between Victoria and our new home on the mainland, but having our house "in your hands" provided us with a level of comfort that made a big difference. Your consistent communication was always timely, and you delivered on everything (and more!) you committed to when we first met.  
Cheryl, thanks again for all your hard work. If we find ourselves relocating back to the island there will not be any question you will be our realtor. Further, we have no hesitation recommending you to anyone looking for a realtor to either sell their home or find a new one.  We wish you all the best in the future.

"We were transferred from Alberta to the beautiful Westshore of Vancouver Island. We were given a week to find a home on a house hunting trip, fortunately Ray found a listing that had Cheryl's name on it & he called her to see if she was familiar with government transfers and she assured us she was. It was a very rushed stressful trip because we don't usually make up our minds that quickly, but Cheryl spent pretty much the whole week with us & helped us through it all explaining every detail of how things work in BC (and believe me they are different) so that we did not have any surprises (we hate bad surprises). That was 2 years ago and not only did we gain a Real Estate Agent but also a friend. Lucky for you if you decide to use her, we would not hesitate to use her again.  

Lori & Ray Wilkinson"

"Cheryl was recommended to us by a person who has known her for a long time and he was right about her in all respects.  Cheryl is a very focused, hard working realtor who can think "out side of the box" and adjust her strategies to meet the ongoing changing housing market conditions.  She's one of the best and we would recommend her to any purchaser or seller.  She sold our house in a tough market period which is not an easy thing to do.  Thanks Cheryl for your hard work. 

Jeff and Holly Bowman"

"As your client as well as your colleague, I have found you to be professional, positive and ethical.  Our selling and buying experiences were pleasureable and non-stressful and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends and family!  Thank you! 

Andrea & Dexter Ratcliff"

 "Cheryl was extremely professional, knowledgeable and always cheerful and good humoured. She was punctual, reliable, and would always respond to our calls and emails promptly. More importantly than any of that, we trusted her 100%. Her dedication to us was palpable, and it was extremely refreshing to actually feel and see how all her actions had her clients best interests at heart, even if that was at the expense of her own.  Oh, and she found us the exact home we were looking for! Would not hesitate for a second to recommend her, and should the occasion arise would not even consider looking for someone else to help us again. 

Spencer and Katy Rose"

 "As a first time homeowner, having Cheryl in my corner to walk me through the process of buying a home was invaluable! Thanks to her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and personable nature, I felt confident that she had my best interests at heart every step of the way!

Ashley Milburn"

"I was extremely impressed with your professionalism and trustworthiness providing prompt and excellent service.  You found me the perfect home and made the purchase virtually seamless and stress free.  You were a pleasure to work with and your patience, knowledge of the market and advice and guidance throughout the process was exceptional.  I will definitely work with you again and be sure to recommend you to friends, family (of course) and colleagues!

Ross Marshall"

"Your experience, knowledge of the real estate market and related professional service is unparalleled.  It was a pleasure working with you. I can't thank you enough for your understanding and patience with me.  Anita and I wish you continued and outstanding success! 

Joseph Sarick"

"I just wanted to say thanks......we appreciate how supportive and calm you have been for us over this process.  It was really nice knowing that you were there doing what you could for us.  We are so happy and relieved, we got our house, and now we can move on and get really excited knowing it's a sure thing.

Tania & Chris Pozney"

"We knew Cheryl previously before she decided to become a real estate agent and when we found ourselves in need of one we knew she was the right one for us.  We found Cheryl very professional, personable, knowledgeable and patient with her continued help and support in every situation that arose. To us the most important trait was that she was very reliable.  We felt confident when what was asked of her or required, when she said she would do it, she did. We would highly recommend her professional real estate services.

“Cheryl Laidlaw is one of the most passionate Realtors that I have ever met. I was a young and single first time home buyer, and even though it was the most important purchase I was making, Cheryl was able to walk me through every step, never making me feel like I was using up her time. I knew a little bit about buying properties, but if there was anything I was unsure or curious about I could ask Cheryl and she was not only well informed about the question, but she was willing and prompt to get back to me. Cheryl your heart and drive gave me a very comfortable feeling and without you I know that I would not have found a great place to call my own. I could not have asked for anything better. I hope we stay in touch and if I ever decide to sell, I have your number :) Thank You!!!

“What luck that we went to your open house on Blackwood Street and met you!  We really appreciate all your work and your professionalism, great attention to detail and your lovely personality.  We hope to stay here for a long time, but should we need a REALTOR®, we’ll be calling you and without hesitation (just lots of enthusiasm) we’ll recommend you to our friends and colleagues.  It’s been an absolute delight working with you. 

Sybil Harrison & Larry McCallum”

"Thanks to Cheryl's negotiating savvy, we saved thousands of dollars when purchasing our investment property.  Cheryl was quick to return messages, no matter where she was or what time of day or night, as real estate isn't 9 - 5 in my world, usually it's after those working hours.  We will definitely use Cheryl again for our personal and business real estate needs and we highly recommend her to anyone else looking to get a great deal in today's market.  Thanks Cheryl!!

“My husband and I recently purchased our first “real” home.  This meant we also had to sell the little condo that we had both come to love.  Cheryl Laidlaw helped us with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our condo.  Throughout both transactions her expertise and experience was invaluable.  I know that other REALTORS® could have done the job for us; however, I’m not sure that they would have given us the time and attention that Cheryl did…she was never too busy to take our calls, answered all of our questions and paid attention to even the smallest details so that everything was always taken care of for us.   We will definitely use Cheryl again and will refer her to all of our friends and family!

"I had the opportunity to work with Cheryl on our most recent residential development and found her to be an excellent real estate professional.  She ensured that our sales contracts were in order and that we were protected from the start to completion on all 51 of our sale transactions.  We look forward to working with Cheryl again in the future!

“I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Cheryl on numerous real estate transactions over the past 2 years.  She is professional, detail oriented and very organized in her approach to every transaction.   I never have to worry about the deal when Cheryl is involved.  I will continue to look forward to doing business with her in the future.

“Cheryl assisted me with the sale of my home in Nanaimo, the purchase of our home here in Victoria, as well she’s been an invaluable resource for me, answering questions I’ve had relating to real estate transactions in my profession as a Credit Union Branch Manager.Selling your home can be a challenging and stressful experience. You need to be competitive and have a professional working for you.  Cheryl’s work ethic, attention to detail and passion for real estate provides her clients with exactly what they need to be successful with their real estate needs.
If you are considering buying or selling a home, I highly recommend you give her a call!
