“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!”
‘Deb recently helped us negotiate the purchase of an adjoining strata lot to our existing condo. The process to subdivide the strata property turn out to be more complicated than all parties thought and not your run of the mill real-estate transaction. Deb took lots (and I mean lots) of extra time to follow-up and make sure the deal got done. She understands the Fernie marketplace and was extremely good at helping both parties to understand true market price. She also ensured the final closing terms included everything we wanted. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done – she is an exceptional agent with a fierce work ethic who truly cares about the people she is working for. It goes without saying that I would recommend her services to anyone that is considering purchasing their future dream home.’
‘We were looking in the Fernie real estate market for almost 2 years prior to our recent purchase. Throughout that entire time, Deb Trand was responsive to our every question, with well researched answers, and kept us apprised of market updates during that time. She was always available to work with our schedule for viewing properties along the way.On top of her professional attributes, Deb Trand is also wonderfully warm and friendly to deal with. We would have no issue recommending her to anyone in the Fernie (and area) real estate market and would have no reservations to use her again for any future real estate transactions.’
‘It took us a long time to decide on purchasing a vacation property in Fernie (over 2 years before we were ready to make an offer!). Deb was very patient, kept in contact on a regular basis through her Facebook posts and email updates but didn’t pressure us to move ahead before we were ready. Once we finally decided to make a purchase, Deb took care of all of the details and made it easy for us to finalize everything from a distance. We would be happy to recommend Deb as a real estate agent for anyone looking to purchase in the Fernie area.’
‘Deb has assisted me twice over a ten year period in regards to purchasing property in Fernie. On both occasions she was the complete professional, offering timely and objective advice in regards to both options and process. I have no hesitation recommending Deb whether you are buying or selling.’
“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!” Jamie and Karen read more

‘Bryce and I brought our first home this past September. Deb was our real-estate agent and we are so grateful we had her help. Being new to the experience as first time home buyers, I imagined house hunting to be an overwhelming process and it very well could have been. However, that was not our experience. Deb walked us through the process, she was there for us every step of the way. She responded to emails and texts promptly and always greeted us with a smile. We viewed many homes and she was very patient. She showed us houses in our price range and ones that hit most, if not all of our wish list. She was very knowledgeable about the properties and was able to answer all of our questions. With her help, we found the most perfect starter home. We couldn’t be happier with it. Deb went out of her way even providing a move out check list of all the things one might not think of when buying a home/ moving. It was the personal touches that made our experience working with her so positive. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase a home!’
“For anyone considering a real estate purchase in the Fernie area I would not hesitate for a moment to enlist the services of Deb Trand. Unlike some agents Deb’s no pressure all facts approach to her clients needs is refreshing and very easy to take. In our very long search for the right property Deb was exceedingly patient with us always remaining objective and putting no pressure on us. When our seemingly never ending deal was in jeopardy of collapse Deb was quick to step in and resolve the issues. Communication with Deb is always quick and professional, as she will go above and beyond to make sure you the client remain updated and current. If you are looking for a realtor in the Fernie area I’m not sure you could find anyone better in town. Highly recommended.’
‘I highly recommend Deb Trand to help you find your ideal home in Fernie. It isn’t an easy task and Deb was always available to show us home after home until we found the one for us. She provided professional advice and guided us through the negotiation process with ease.’

‘My husband and I recently bought a ski hill condo as a rental property. We were first time buyers and as such had a mountain of questions (excuse the pun!) which Deb was happy to answer. She went above and beyond by dealing with the transaction on a Friday evening on more than one occasion and responding to all emails very promptly, even at the weekend. I have no hesitation in recommending Deb Trand as a realtor.’ read more

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! MURRAY EDWARD read more
‘My daughter and I were looking to buy a condo in Fernie but with the two of us not being in the same city together, this was not an easy task. Deb took the time to show my daughter the properties and spoke to me about the choices available. She was extremely professional answering all our questions about Fernie and which area of the city would be a better choice for us. Once we made a decision, she took the time to explain all the steps needed to purchase the property. Unable to physically be there to walk through the condo on the closing date, Deb walked the property for us and sent us pictures of every room and reassured us that all was well. The entire process was not stressful due to the care and attention that she personally gave us. It was a pleasure to work with Deb and we would highly recommend her to be your realtor.’

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.
“ We really enjoyed working with Deb. She has great knowledge of the Fernie area and was very patient with us as we were first time recreation property buyers. She answered all of our questions in a timely, complete and forthcoming manner instilling confidence and trust. The transaction was done remotely which Deb facilitated and made it easy. We would definitely recommend Deb”
‘Deb Trand went to great length to find us the home we wanted. She knew that we wanted to stop paying rent and invest our money in our own home. When Deb found us the home she thought suited our famil, she immediately visited us at our work and told us about it. We’re so thankful she did, as it was the perfect home! Exceptional service!’
‘I met Deb Trand while I was trying to find a property to purchase in Fernie. I had no idea of the protocols of purchasing in Canada as I recently moved from Australia. Deb was fantastic. She quickly understood what I needed in terms of the type of property and the amount I was willing to spend and lined up a number of properties for me to view. She is an amazing agent. I found Deb to be professional, patient (thank goodness, because I would have driven anyone else nuts!!!), friendly and best of all extremely helpful. Deb managed the whole process from “viewing” appropriate properties through to the final stages once it had been purchased. I did not have to worry about a thing. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting to purchase a property.’
‘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!’
Thanks,
Tanjou Bell
‘We are from Southern Alberta and reached out to Deb to help us find a vacation home in Fernie. We did not know her beforehand, but we feel so grateful that we picked the right Realtor because she made every part of the this sale seamless, especially with us being out of town. She communicated with us almost daily during the process and was there to answer every question we had. Even after everything was done, she was still there to help us transition into our new condo. We highly recommend Deb Trand and think she’s a phenomenal Realtor.’ Sheileen and Sean Wheeler read more
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!

‘My co-owner (Paul Fejer) and I had the pleasure of working with Deb on the sale of our Snow Valley condo. The sale closed November 1 after what must be a record quick sale (only a few weeks) considering the slower economy (especially in Fernie real estate price driving Calgary). Both Paul and I were very surprised and happy how quickly and efficiently and clearly Deb dealt with us and the sale of this condominium. I live in Calgary and Paul lives in Kuala Lampur. Everything had to be done via email, electronic documents with signature tracking and local (Calgary & KL) notary public help to assist with the legal matters. Deb handled the property sale as easily as if we were lifelong Fernie residents that lived down the street. It made a difficult decision (to sell) as easy as possible. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell in Fernie or the larger Elk Valley area to contact Deb Trand. She’s a true professional and absolute pleasure to deal with.
Thanks for everything Deb!!! You’re awesome.’
‘I found Deb easy to work with, professional in all aspects of the sale and available any time we needed a question answered. She’s hard working and honest which helped make the sale of our Fernie home low stress.’

“We had an excellent home purchasing experience with Debbie. As we are relatively new to Fernie, she was very patient and strove to understand our needs in buying here. Professionally, she brought to our attention all the aspects we needed to consider and worked efficiently and fairly to represent our interests. Overall, we felt she genuinely cared that we not only be satisfied with the house purchase but happy in the home we are creating.”

Deb was patient and informative and showed several properties that in the end contributed to us being very comfortable and happy with our new Fernie condo! I would highly recommend Deb as she exceeded all of our expectations of a realtor.”
“We met Deb Trand in 2002 when we bought our Timberline condo. She was the selling agent and we were very impressed with her knowledge, approach and helpfulness.

Throughout the selling process, we appreciated her commitmnent, regular updates, and professinalism. She is a pleasure to work with.’

“We had been looking for a vacation home in Fernie for a number of years, but were not ready to move on the purchase until we sold our vacation home in Alberta. Deb took the time to learn about our situation and understand that our purchase would not happen immediately but she wanted to be there to help and guide us along the way. When we were ready to move and purchase a vacation home in Fernie; Deb was a complete pro and offered some valuable support and advice along the way. British Columbia was a new market for us and it was so important to have someone on our side that understands the market and what needed to transpire to get the deal across the finish line. We wouldn’t work with anyone else and highly recommend Deb.”
‘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 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!’
I’d like to thank Deb for helping me with the sell and purchase of my new home. As stressful as this can be, I felt I was well supported. Commitment, great advice, availability, I highly recommend Deb as a realtor.

‘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 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.’
