Testimonials

‘We used Deb to sell our home on Lake Koocanusa. It was a rush to get it on the market. She was cooperative and handled the process with the utmost professionalism. With a sale in less than a week, what more could we ask for! Highly recommend.’

‘Deb first helped my husband and I find and purchase a condo 10 years ago. Since then we had dreams of owning a larger property and throughout the years Deb kept us in mind if an appealing property came onto market. She was also always keen to show us a variety of properties as we decided on the right avenue to pursue. We eventually decided on a building lot that required a purchase in a timely matter and Deb was once again promptly available. We appreciated her guidance on our journey.’  Brittany and Thomas

“Deb helped us navigate the Fernie – Cranbrook region and ultimately find a fantastic property! Not being from the area, we appreciated her perspective, flexibility, and persistence when it came to exploring and choosing a place that was just right for us.   Thanks Deb!’

‘When we came to sell our unit at Snow Creek Lodge, Fernie Hill, we chose Deb Trand as our Realtor as she had been involved in the original purchase.
Deb was an amazing help to us. We are not familiar with the Canadian system and Deb supplied us with and guided us through the completion of all the necessary forms. She advised us on whom to choose as a lawyer and followed the process through to Transaction Date.
On a personal level, Deb always replied promptly and professionally to our emails which, as we live in a different time-zone to Canada, was very important to us. We have met her on various occasions and she is a charming and friendly person, thoughtful and considerate, with a good eye for detail.
The sale of our property was seamless and this can be attributed to Deb’s professionalism and courtesy. We cannot recommend her more highly.’

We highly recommend Deb Trand as your realtor. She not only sold our quarter share to us but helped us 8 years later to sell our property. Highly professional and well informed, she faithfully kept us up to date on the Fernie market and any showings of our property. It has certainly been a pleasure to work with Deb and we wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

‘When we started our property search in Fernie, we were referred to Deb from friends. We are from Calgary which made our viewing availability very limited, but she was always willing to help coordinate a time that worked for us even if it meant taking up part of her weekend. She was also very patient while we narrowed in on exactly what we were looking for. We truly believe she was the key to our offer being accepted and grateful to her for helping us find our home away from home in Fernie!’

Deb made the process of selling our Fernie property a breeze. The superb listing presentation of our condo, along with the internet and social media marketing, brought us plenty of traffic in a difficult market.  Deb has an extensive network in the Fernie area and she produced two buyers which enabled us to reduce the commission and negotiate an excellent price.  We couldn’t have asked for more!

“We wanted to sell our 1/4 share unit in the Timberline Lodges at Fernie Alpine Resort. We asked Deb if she could help us by being our Real estate agent. She gladly accepted. Dealing with her was easy from the beginning to the end of the process. The communication was very efficient, even on the weekend when she was camping! She guided us through the whole process. We ended selling our condo quickly for a way higher price than what we expected! Thanks Deb for being so knowledgeable and professional. We would definitely recommend your services to anyone who intends to buy or sell in the Fernie area, or wherever you are providing real estate services!”  Francois Raymond

“Deb’s experience and local knowledge was critical in guiding the sale of our vacation property in Fernie. We appreciate her engagement and willingness to help where she could to ensure a smooth transaction. We highly recommend Deb for your real estate needs.’

‘Deb was fantastic to work with buying our property. She was responsive, very knowledgeable and professional. We were buying from out of province and not able to meet in person, but she was able to set up a virtual walk through for us.’

‘September 2023, we wanted to sell our 1/4 share ownership of a unit in the Timberline Lodges at Fernie Alpine Resort. We asked to Deb help us by being our Real estate agent. She gladly accepted.

Dealing with her was easy from the beginning to the end of the process. She was very familiar with the property and provided excellent advice about the whole selling process.

The communication was very efficient, even on Sundays and the first snow day! We ended up selling our condo quickly for what we hoped to.

Thanks Deb for being so knowledgeable and professional. We definitely recommend your services to anyone who intends to buy or sell in the Fernie area, or wherever you are providing real estate services!’ David and Brenda

We have been visiting Fernie since 2004 and fell in love with the town.  Back in 2007 we purchased a quarter share condo on the ski hill from Deb.  She was easy to work with, friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth.  Now over a decade later with two young boys we wanted to purchase something that we could call our own.  Deb had the patience to let us figure out what we wanted exactly by showing us multiple properties over the course of a year.  Once we had it ironed out, Deb would keep us constantly updated on the possibilities on the ski hill and how the market was looking.  Without hesitation we would use Deb for any real estate transaction in the Fernie area.

‘What an easy and seamless experience it was buying a property with assistance from Deb. As a foreign purchaser we were not sure of the procedure to follow, but Deb made everything seamless, all documents and compliance was completed ahead of time and without fuss.

Every few days we would receive a reminder of what was needing to happen and by what date. So satisfying to find someone so friendly and accommodating.

Upon settlement of our purchase Deb even gave us a gift, which we were so surprised about!

We would highly recommend Deb to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property in Fernie.

Such a great experience! 10/10 from us!

Well done Deb Trand!’  Jim and Robyn Kolesnyk

‘We recently had the pleasure of working with Deb Trand.

Our search for property in Fernie was fast and furious and so was our search for a realtor. We contacted Deb based on her background, experience and invaluable reviews.

Deb quickly put together a list of properties, comparables and general information based on our criteria. We met Deb a couple of weeks later and spent the afternoon viewing potential listings as well as driving us around the various communities. Deb provided us with history, what’s new, what coming and all that Fernie has to offer! Together we found the perfect property and we can’t wait to spend time in Fernie and become part of the community.

From start to finish, the process and communication was first-rate. Deb is professional, experienced, very personable and down to earth. She is resourceful and well connected and has gone beyond to get our questions answered. She was a delight to work with.’ Tracy Bialowas

‘Thanks again for the seamless navigation of the condo sale.  It’s a complex system and there are no ways around the obstacles, but with your guidance we plowed through them with the utmost speed and efficiency.  Thank you.  Although it is highly unlikely that Nina and I will buy another FERNIE property, we will certainly recommend you should anyone ask.’

Deb is outstanding. She helped me sell my place very quickly and I couldn’t be happier! 

‘Deb was great. Patient, professional. Was an older house and was a bit of a challenge to sell but Deb got it done!. I recommend her and her services highly. ‘ Dale

‘Deb is the best realtor we have ever worked with in BC! She is extremely hard-working for her clients, she has immense knowledge of the market in Fernie and she went above and beyond any other realtor we had worked with in the past. We spent close to a year looking for the right vacation property in Fernie, looked at many properties and even let a couple offers fall through. Deb understood exactly what we were looking for and had the pulse on upcoming listings. Through her hard work and connections, we were able to close on a gorgeous unit in the building we wanted before it ever got listed on the market! We are so happy to be joining the Fernie community and so thankful for Deb’s persistence (and immense patience).’

‘Thanks Eric and Sue! This was a message I received today from buyers at Fernie Alpine Resort who wanted to let other know about their buying experience: ‘We had the pleasure of working with Deb when purchasing our second on-hill property in Fernie. Her expertise, professionalism and integrity were refreshing. She was exceptionally quick to reply to our questions and requests that were in some cases above and beyond what one would generally expect from a Realtor. She has the thorough knowledge of ski-hill properties that comes from years of experience. Deb was recommended to us by friends and we have recommended her to others without hesitation. Thanks Deb’

‘Deb Trand did such a excellent job selling our house in Fernie.  We sold our house in just over a month!!!  Deb is great to work with and always a pleasure to talk to.  Thanks Deb for all your hard work!!!!’

“We would absolutely recommend Deb to any friends or family. She was always available to answer questions, going above and beyond to make our land purchase possible. Her calm demeanor smoothed out any road bumps along the way. Deb  is a true professional in her trade!”
