Dear Nancy,
Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate all the time and effort you took on our behalf to help us find our wonderful retirement place "in paradise".
When we began this search almost a year ago (!) we had no idea how many areas we'd be looking in, or how many homes we'd view. Throughout this venture we've come to value your support, professionalism, common sense and good ideas and suggestions. When it came time to close this deal you made it happen, in spite of the unusual circumstances that existed.
As you know a friend of ours who is one of your previous clients recommended you as a realtor we should deal with, and we are thankful we followed his advice. I would (and have already) recommend you to others without reservation.
It has truly been a pleasure to meet and deal with you - we hope to see you around the neighbourhood in the years to come.
Very sincerely yours,
Norm & Terry
Thank you for the assistance with the purchase of our home in
Parksville. You were always punctual, professional, accessible,
hardworking and very pleasant and caring.
A joy to have you as our realtor. We would certainly recommend your
services to friends and family.
Gill and Barbara

We can honestly say that Nancy's knowledge of the real estate market is equally matched by her honest and dedicated nature towards her clients. Nancy ensures she understands her clients' needs and is an attentive listener.
She is the epitome of a professional Realtor. This was particularly evident during the negotiation stages of the purchase of our Qualicum Beach property. She ensured that every detail was performed in a punctual manner and gave great advice with regards to the counter offer and negotiation process – which had previously always been a frustrating experience for us. The whole process of purchasing our house was a delight, and Nancy made one of the biggest purchases in our lives an enjoyable and comfortable experience.
In truth, we came to Nancy Bolch after an unsatisfactory experience with another agent. What a difference! She certainly fulfilled all our expectations, and then some – a professional real estate agent who was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Most notable was her comprehensive knowledge about the housing market in the Oceanside area – that was definitely value-added.

Dear Nancy: Now that we have more or less settled into our new home and the piles of boxes are going down, we wanted to take time to thank you for all the time and effort you spent on our behalf. We chose you to act as our Realtor after viewing your excellent website and seeing so many testimonials from satisfied clients. We made the right decision. You provided us with up to date information about competitive listings in our neighbourhood which helped us to decide on a realistic sale price. At the same time, your daily email listings of Nanaimo properties in the areas we preferred enabled us to act quickly to find and purchase the home we were looking for. Nancy, we sincerely appreciate the personal service you gave us from start to finish and we wish you continued success in the future.

Nancy Bolch helped us find and buy a house in Qualicum Beach within 3 weeks. She was available in the busy summer season to show us homes any day and time we asked and was also available through her pager to answer questions at any time of the day any day of the week.
We found Nancy to be friendly, hard-working, and a wealth of information regarding all aspects of real estate, and Oceanside living in general. She has lived and worked here for 9 years. If we asked for additional information about specific properties, she investigated and provided the information to us very promptly.
Nancy never appeared to tire and showed us over 30 homes in a 4-day period. She was prompt and helpful when we wrote offers, and phoned us with counter-offers very promptly. She is meticulous in terms of the details of purchase offers, such as items to be included with the house.
We will encourage our friends to engage Nancy for all their home buying and selling needs.
Susan Johnson & Paul Foley
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Nancy. After having some problems in the selling of our house with another realtor we were introduced to Nancy. She certainly met all of our expectations and took the time to talk to us and inform us what was going on in the real estate market in Oceanside. Her knowledge and professional experience is what sold us and once she got our listing we sold very quickly.
Nancy is very personable with her clients and she certainly makes you feel that she cares. We would highly recommend Nancy to our friends and family and also be more than happy to use her for any real estate needs that we may have in the future.

My wife and I were recently transferred with my employer to the Vancouver, BC area and as a result we were required to sell both our primary residence as well as our rental property. We enlisted the services of Nancy BOLCH with REMAX Anchor Realty and were very pleased with the results that followed.
Nancy met with us and we outlined our timelines and she sought our input regarding pricing, highlights of the home and she fully explained the process of working with a Realtor.
Nancy has numerous strengths, but her professionalism and positive attitude are at the forefront at all times when dealing with her. Nancy provided feedback after each and every showing, which is quite important and appreciated when one is wondering if the house shows well during this stressful time.
During negotiations, Nancy was fully available and was a terrific resource in providing strategies and options to successfully close the deal.
As we were transferring into a new area and did not know any Realtors, we asked Nancy to research and provide some possible options. As a result, Nancy put us in touch with a fantastic realtor who assisted us in buying our new home.
If you are considering buying or selling, you will be very impressed with the realty services provided by Nancy BOLCH.

I want to commend Nancy Bolch for what was outstanding service in the sale of our home.
Throughout the listing time she did everything she said she would, she kept me informed of visits, feedback etc. All of this is what I expect from my Realtor, but I certainly appreciated that she met my expectations.
However, there is an additional thanks to her from the two of us. On the day of closing I discovered a significant problem that would have impacted me personally in a huge way. Immediately on being informed, she took an amazing ethical stance and dealt with the problem instantly. I admit I was in a total panic and needed someone strong in my corner! She was there in every sense of the word. Thanks Nancy!
I want you to be aware of our appreciation and I will, most certainly, refer her to any friends needing real estate help.

When we decided to sell our Qualicum Beach home this past summer, we did a lot of our own research for several months. When it came time to chose a realtor, we had a pretty good idea what it would sell for and how to market it.
After receiving 5 extensive evaluations from local realtors, we decided on Nancy Bolch for a number of reasons. First, we were impressed with her formal marketing credentials from Capilano College which can be seen in the care and substance of her online listings. Second, as a "relative" new-comer to the Qualicum market, Nancy had none of the "area bias" we detected in some of the long time QB realtors. Third, the comparisons she chose in her evaluation were extremely accurate in their relevancy to our home and she had obviously visited these homes and taken notes. It is important to note that the listing price she recommended was not the highest of the five evaluations but right in the middle. Fourth, she is extremely personable and is able to communicate her thoughts and opinions very well. Most important, Nancy believed in the marketability of our home despite the fact it was not the typical property in our area. The house sold in one month.
We whole heartedly recommend Nancy Bolch as a realtor with integrity, a strong work ethic, exemplary communication skills, and a studied but fresh view of the local market.
Sharman and Rob
Nancy Bolch is by far one of the best Realtors that we have met. Nancy sold our house in Qualicum Beach and then took us "shopping" for a new home in Nanaimo, BC. She was fun and extremly pleasant throughout the whole time we looked, she found us our very nice home.
However, it doesn't stop there, we moved to the Okanagan and bought a very nice condo in Penticton. We had to come back to Vancouver Island and there was Nancy to the rescue, she contacted a realtor (The top Salesman in Penticton) and he sold it within days.
We feel that Nancy cares very much for her clients, becomes involved and helps them more than any realtor would. She is number 1 as far as we're concerned.
Danielle and Eleanor
My husband and I have purchased two home now with Nancy, and both times she
has managed to find us the perfect home to meet our needs and budget. She
has made the purchase process simple and stress free and been very helpful
in lining up all the resources we needed to complete the process. We
recommend her to our friends at every opportunity, since we feel she is the
most competent and honest realtor we have ever dealt with. Thanks, Nancy.
Rick and Janette
We have known and dealt with Nancy Bolch for over a year and have sold one, and bought two properties with her! All deals have been executed professionally, and with no problems!
When looking for property, Nancy has presented a large variety in the price range requested, and her opinion with respect to each has been helpful and accurate.
At no time have we felt pressured to purchase, and Nancy has taken time to find the right properties, with the final decision left to us.
You will find Nancy to be an energetic, knowledgeable, experienced and honest real estate agent!
Fred and Leigh
We had the good fortune to be clients of Nancy Bolch. We spent four months corresponding about possible home sites in the Qualicum Beach area in 2005. She gave us all of her time whenever we visited her. I believe she truly wanted us to know the area and feel comfortable with the locations to which we narrowed our search. We discussed everything and any questions were responded to us by long distance immediatelly. The purchase of our retirement home was dealt with in a very professional manner. I felt she represented me during the purchase cycle while I was thousands of miles away.
With sincere appreciation,
Ginny and Rich
We wish to thank you for the super job you did on the sale of our property. From the listing to the sale, we were delighted with your input, advice and detailed advertising. You are the most efficient realtor that we have ever worked with; simply the best!
Frank & Pepper
I wish to thank you for the care and attention you gave both in selling my home and in finding me a new place to live. Selling the house within a month at the price I set and finding an affordable new (to me) home in the same space of time made a difficult personal situation almost easy.
Now that I've lived in my home for almost a month, I like it even more than when I first looked at it. I has much more room than I anticipated and the surrounding amenities which I hadn't really thought about before, certainly makes it very comfortable.
Please feel free to use this letter as you see fit.

When we were first looking to sell our house, we interviewed a few realtors to get a feeling to see who we thought could get the job done, and who we thought we could work with the best. Hands down, it was Nancy.
From the get-go, Nancy's professionalism and dedication to task were evident. Within 24 hours of signing the listing agreement, she had arranged for a virtual tour photography shooting session, a still photo shooting session, consulted with us on the newspaper write-up, had the newspaper advertisement placed in the newspaper within 2 days, and had arranged for our house to be on the realtor's tour.
Nancy was fully accessible at all times, returned all phone calls promptly, (10 minutes being the norm), and kept us fully informed of viewings and gave us feedback on all the viewings. She is extremely knowledeable in the field of local real estate.
During negotiations, again, Nancy was there every step of the way, working tirelessly to reach a satisfactory agreement. She made the entire process as simple and stress free as possible, for us the seller.
Nancy exudes positive energy, a love for her job, and a genuine caring for her clients.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending Nancy Bolch as your next realtor. If you are looking for a top quality, honest hardworking, pleasant, and dedicated professional realtor, then Nancy is the one for you.

I would like to take this time, (in the middle of packing), to mention how appreciative I was with the business like fashion and patience shown by my realtor, Nancy Bolch.
Whenever there were questions, which sometimes needed some research, Nancy had an answer for me in a prompt and efficient manner.
At a somewhat anxious time, Nancy was always ready with information due to her vast experience as a proficient Realtor.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy to any friend or relative looking to buy or sell real estate.
