Colin sold us our first home a couple of years back and his service was outstanding. We were moving from Vancouver to Nanaimo and as first time home buyers, we really didn't have a clue. Colin guided us through the process, was patient with our whims and stuck with us until he found us the perfect place. He even found us a short term rental while we looked. When he says he works harder for you he isn't kidding. And he's fun to boot! If we decide to move up in the future we will use Colin again without hesitation.

I have no hesitation in recommending Homes by Colin (Colin Caryk of Nanaim o Realty) to use a realtor. He was my agent for the purchase of a condo in the Parksville area. He is well organized and always available or quick to respond to needs and questions. He went above and beyond his duty in making sure all documentation was forwarded to the various parties even when it was not his responsibility. It is an extremely busy market right now for all the transactions in selling and purchasing homes. He made me feel like I was his only client, when I know that he a number of purchases in play. He made sure that I felt comfortable and secure with my purchase. Thank you Colin!
