Testimonials

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!

Deb was fantastic to work with selling our quarter share property. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Her advice throughout the transaction was clear and accurate. We would highly recommend her for any real estate transactions in Fernie and area.

“Deb Trand is great to work with. She is professional and personable. She was representing both seller and buyer(me) for the property. I feel she did a great job managing this. She was good at walking me through the process and always quick at answering any questions”

‘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.’

‘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).’

‘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

“This was our first real estate purchase outside of our home province, Deb’s knowledge of the local market was foundational in our buying decisions. Deb was very flexible and very patient with our schedules during the viewing process. After the sale, she recommended great local services and helped us with all of the activities that needed to be managed at the new location such as the home inspection. Overall a very positive experience!”

‘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!’

‘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.”

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!

‘Working with Deb was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was quick at getting the information I needed, and very responsive to all of my inquiries, whether it was a phone call, text, or email. She was able to provide very sound guidance along the entire journey and helped me find a home that was a perfect fit for me. I would recommend her to friends and family.”

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.

‘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 enlisted Deb Trand to market our condo in Fernie. Deb provided upfront information and met with us to discuss our situation and listing requirements. She promptly listed the property with professional photos and a 360 virtual property tour. Deb’s knowledge of the Fernie real estate market enabled her to recommend a competitive listing price and aggressive marketing strategy which generated an offer within 2 days. Deb provided strong guidance throughout the negotiation and ultimate closing process. We would highly recommend Deb Trand, she is a skilled and effective realtor, and intend to enlist her services again in the future.’

Deb was recommended to us by a friend, and she did not disappoint. Friendly and professional, answering any questions honestly and quickly . We highly recommend her for all your real-estate needs.

‘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.’

‘We can’t recommend Deb highly enough! From the very beginning of our journey, she was always available to answer our many (many!) questions with patience, clarity, and expertise. She provided honest, insightful guidance that helped us feel confident in our decisions. Selling our home and buying a new one was a rollercoaster ride, and we’re so grateful to have had Deb guiding us through the entire process. Thanks to her dedication and knowledge, we sold our house quickly and were able to buy our dream home. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, knows the market, and will be there for you from start to finish, Deb is the one to call.’

‘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 have worked with Deb for buying and now also for selling, and it has been such a pleasure! She is knowledgeable, flexible, and very responsive. We were first time buyers and first time sellers, and she was patient with our questions and accommodating. Being local, she knows the town well and gave great advice. We would use her again and again and will always recommend to friends! ‘

‘Deb was great to deal with on the purchase of our new condo in Fernie! We contacted her with a last minute request to meet in Fernie, and she was able to line up showings and accommodate our timing.  We had a difficult time deciding on our purchase and Deb was very patient with us while we weighed our options. Even with us living in Calgary, Deb was able to facilitate all aspects of the purchase smoothly over email. We are very happy with our new condo!’

It has been a real pleasure dealing with you. Thanks for your timeliness, professionalism and always keeping us in the loop’

‘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

‘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.’

‘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 .’
