Testimonials

‘We bought a couple of properties in Fernie through Deb and she was excellent to work with. Very knowledgeable and responsive!’

‘We are very pleased to have had Deb as our realtor.  We have both bought and sold with Deb.  With the changing economic climate our sale was more complicated, but Deb was able to walk us through it and reassure us along the way and manage the overlapping timelines for both. 

Deb is extremely organized which with our busy schedules we needed, detail oriented and went the extra mile.   We felt very confident in her knowledge, representation, and skill translation.   Deb is personable and always follows through on what she says. I would not hesitate to recommend Deb to family and friends.’

‘We worked with Deb to purchase our first home and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Deb walked us through every step of the process and answered all our questions. She is very approachable and warm and we fully trusted her to support us while we made a big life decision! Would fully recommend!’

‘We used Deb Trand’s services to both buy, and 13 years later, to sell our condo in Juniper Lodge (Fernie Alpine Resort). She was knowledgeable, responsive and provided good advice on both occasions. Our purchase and sale transactions both went smoothly. We would not hesitate to use Deb as our realtor again if we are looking to buy in Fernie again.’

‘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’

Myron and I were very fortunate to have Deb Trand as our realtor. We bought the condo through her and she sold it for us 19 years later. Deb did an amazing job presenting the condo and had multiple offers just days after listing. Deb was very patient and accommodating. We would definitely go with Deb Trand again if we were to buy again in the area. Thank you Deb!

‘For anyone wishing to market their property in the Fernie area, we highly recommend Ms.Deb Trand. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about marketing such properties, a hard worker, great communicator, and a straight, no nonsense, shooter. She also worked and coordinated seamlessly with our “Seller’s Attorney” , our property tax accountant, and others who played a role in the transfer process. For anyone coming to Fernie to enjoy its wonderful outdoor setting, its passions for skiing, fishing, biking etc., Deb knows it, and has done it herself, so that she can well relate to those wishing to become part of the Fernie Community.

Thank you Deb .’

‘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

‘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!!!!’

“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!’

‘After working with other realtors and not having success, it was a pleasure to work with Deb.  She has a great knowledge of the market in Fernie and provided quick and excellent advise and results.  We highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.’

We have known Deb for several years and found her to be honest, helpful, and very professional to work with while she was in the property management business….a tough, competitive, business! When we decided to sell our condo in Fernie, we told her we would try to sell it ourselves but would list it with her if that did not work. She was very helpful and forthcoming with advice during our attempt to self-sell. When that became too complicated, we listed it with her. She provided the help and guidance we needed and worked with us to set a price with which we were comfortable. The timing was awkward for us (and for her); since we had to return to the states as soon as we listed it. She sold it in a matter of a few days; and kept us apprised after each showing; and candidly provided feedback to help us understand the evolving market. The sales process was even more complex across an international border and we insisted on understanding all aspects of the process. She was always available to answer our questions and very patient in helping us to understand. Thoroughly professional….and extremely knowledgeable of the market in that area!

‘We wanted to pass along a huge thank you to our realtor, Deb Trand, who helped us with our recent town-home purchase at Fernie Alpine Resort. Her knowledge, professionalism, friendly manner and availability were exceptional. She helped us to navigate through a difficult negotiation then continued to guide us through all the red tape to possession day. We have no hesitation in highly recommending her to our family and friends.’

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

‘Deb was excellent at helping us find a vacation property in Fernie. She communicated rapidly and helped us close in a short time period with minimal hassle. Would highly recommend!’

Deb recently helped us to sell 2 quarter share units and purchase the perfect condo for our family. Her experience and knowledge of the market were impressive and gave us total confidence throughout the process. And communication was amazing, whether by phone, email or text (and even while she was on vacation). We were never left wondering or waiting on a response. She truly made this a stress free experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends or family.
Chris & Andrea

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.

Deb was fantastic to work with.  She made purchasing our vacation property stress free.  Deb is highly knowledgeable of the Fernie real estate market. We would highly recommend her to others.

‘We reached out to Deb to help us look at a few properties we thought we might be interested in, after looking at them, she left us with things to think over and said if we needed anything to just reach out. Well we thought about what she said and then we decided to make an offer on a little condo. She was very prompt, professional and helpful with the whole transaction. She was there whenever we had a question or concern. We were very glad we made the call to have her with us on our purchasing journey. Thanks Deb! You will be the first we call if we decide to do another purchase.’ Jerry and Dail

‘This is the second time I’ve used Deb Trand as my realtor in Fernie. Deb is extremely knowledgeable and professional, adding to this her friendly demeanor and confidence, made my sometimes stressful situation so much easier to sail through. Most importantly, at the end of the day and for both occasions, I was left feeling extremely grateful I chose Deb as my realtor – I’m sure you will as well.’  

We bought our quarter share with Deb Trand 15 years ago. The experience was so positive that we asked Deb to repeat her magic when we decided to sell it. We couldn’t be happier. The time and attention Deb gave to the details was remarkable. She anticipated our questions and always provided timely advice. Our sale went through without a hitch and we were thankful we had Deb’s expertise and help. Deb Trand isa real professional in her field. If you are thinking of buying or selling a property in Fernie BC, give Deb Trand a call. You’ll be like us, happy that you did.

‘Our family have been regular visitors to Fernie for almost 15 years. We met Deb Trand many years ago and were always impressed with her knowledge of Fernie, including the Fernie real estate market, her enthusiasm and excellent overall customer service. With Deb joining Century 21, we were able to engage Deb recently to help us sell our condo on the ski hill at Fernie (we recently upgraded to a bigger unit). Although Deb presented us with a comprehensive marketing plan to sell our unit, we had confidence in her based more on her reputation and integrity, and the fact that we had known her for so many years. In a relatively short time frame, we received offers for our unit with a resulting sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Deb to anyone looking for real estate in and around the Fernie area.”

‘If you are looking to buy vacation property in Fernie, Deb Trand is the realtor you NEED to work with, she knows every detail about buying this type of property. We looked into a quarter share purchase about 9 years ago and the timing wasn’t right. We were very excited to find Deb again after all this time and she made the complicated transaction easy to handle, she patiently walked us through every step.’

‘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.’
