Testimonials

“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

‘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 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! ‘

‘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!’

‘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 have had the pleasure of working with Deb on two occasions. One transaction was the sale of an undeveloped lot, and the second transaction was the recent purchase of a single-family home. Deb has been a joy to work with; she is the consummate professional. Communication was responsive and clear. Her advice regarding pricing and negotiations in both instances was spot on. Her attention to detail and her thoroughness was greatly appreciated. We were thrilled with both the process and the outcome of both transactions.

We wholeheartedly recommend Deb’s services to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in Fernie!

Jason & Jackie

“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!”

‘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

‘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.’

‘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’

‘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

‘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.’

‘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 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 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!”

‘Dealing with Deb was a real pleasure. Deb listened to our requirements, was very responsive to our many questions and helped guide us through the entire process. She was professional in her approach and very knowledgeable about the properties on the ski hill and the area in general. I would certainly recommend Deb to anyone that is looking for a place in the area.’

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

‘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.’

‘Thanks for all the assistance in walking us through the process of purchasing a town house in Fernie. It was great to have you outlining the various processes involved in the sale and giving us in-site to community resources. It was a pleasure working with you.’   Brent

‘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.’

‘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.”
