Coral Gilbert - Testimonials

This was my first time buying a home and it took me a *long* time to find a place I wanted in my budget. Coral's patience never wavered as I changed my deal-breakers a million times along the way. She then found me a place - not even on the market - that was perfect! When it came time for the paperwork, we had all sorts of constraints - like me being out of the province and then out of the country, and none of this flapped Coral. She could handle anything. Her dedication to doing things right, in a timely fashion makes you trust her completely, and you should. When it came time to take possession, the condo was not in move-in condition and two days later a professional cleaner, paid for and organized by Coral, was in and out of there. Coral is the utmost professional: She has high standards, incredible attention to detail, works amazingly well under pressure, and does not get bothered by unexpected hurdles that come up along the way (I know this because we experienced 49 of them.). More than all of those qualities combined, Coral is so kind and caring. Thank you for everything, Coral!!"

From the beginning I felt that she had our best interest in mind. She was a very trustworthy partner in the home buying process. After purchasing our home Coral's help did not stop. She welcomed us to our new home and checked on us afterwards to ensure that everything was going smoothly. I appreciate how she valued us and how our relationship has continued. We will definitely use Coral for any real estate services in the future and we recommend her services to anyone in the market. "

She worked tirelessly to show us all the properties we were interested in, and even advised against some of them; she puts customers above herself and care about them. If you want someone who works for you in your best interest (not in the interest of commission), then reach out to Coral."

She made the process of getting a home very easy for my husband and I; and ensured we were not overwhelmed. She is highly professional, her smile just feels you with so much warmth and all the assurance you need. You know you are dealing with someone who is passionate about what she does and really cares about finding the right home for you. With Coral you are not just a number or a paycheque but it’s a long lasting family partnership you are getting. I would highly recommend to everyone "

She helped us every inch of the way. We had not been in the real estate business for over 30 years so we did have lots od questions and Coral answered every one of them. We were nervous heading into new territory and Coral stayed with us and calmed us down. We are grateful to her and would recommend her without hesitation."

Very responsive and thorough. Prompt communication and helpful suggestions. And just a really nice person. Will work with her again! Highly recommended."

She successfully guided us through a situation where there was already an offer on the house. We followed her advice to the letter and we ended up getting the perfect place for us. "

She helped navigate us thru the crazy multiple offer scenarios, and offered useful advice with her wealth of local knowledge. Being from the mainland, we didn’t know the difference areas of Victoria and she would also video view places on our behalf or with our Young adult children. She always answered my 10000 questions in a timely manner. Totally would recommend Coral as your agent."

She helped us find a spot so quickly that we were almost disappointed we didn't get to spend more time exploring Victoria with her :) She was with us every step of the way, asking all the right questions and providing us with so much useful information. She advocated for us when we needed it, and did so with professionalism and grace. Thank you Coral! "

We've since seen our property increase in value substantially. Thank you Coral for helping to make this happen "

Although we found Coral essentially by accident, what a lucky accident it was! She was very professional, courteous, and thorough, and at the same time, very warm and personable. Buying a property can be painful and stressful, but not this time, not with Coral! Thanks to her, it was painless and straightforward. She made us feel like our purchase was her primary focus. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend or a family member, or to ask to help us when we are ready to sell our house and buy a new one!"

We did not hesitate to contact Coral again when the time came to look for a bigger place and go through the difficult path of selling our condo and buying a new residence. She certainly appreciated that this experience of selling and buying a home at the same time was a major life event for us and approached it with empathy to make it a positive experience at the time of a complicated real estate market. She took the time to walk us through all the details of the process, addressing all of our concerns and providing the best advice. The listing she created for the sale of our condo stood well above average. Coral works with a great network of professionals involved in the whole real estate process and always provided great recommendations. We never felt alone in the process as Coral went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of at all steps in the process. We really appreciated her dedication to work, her motivation and enthusiasm as she helped us move forward with confidence through this challenge and successfully acquire the home of our dreams in Victoria. Without hesitation, we recommend Coral Gilbert. Angie and Nico"

We looked at a few different places and she was very patient and crucial to our eventual success in finding a place, especially in an insanely heated market. "

When it came time to sell our family home in Victoria, we were living a Province away, and concerned about the issues of undertaking a real estate transaction from a distance. Selling a home while living in another city can be challenging, yet Coral brought a high level of professionalism and calm to this potential complex situation. Coral is personable, intelligent, thorough and very congenial. She is positive, up-beat and a delight to work with. Coral also has a keen eye for detail. She is generous with her time and expertise to ensure the house is ready for market, providing up-to-date market research to help set a price that is both favourable to the seller while attractive to buyers. Coral’s accessibility, professionalism and industry knowledge were superb. She was always quick to get back to us with any questions or concerns we had along the way. In addition to her outstanding customer service, Coral is a natural communicator and skilled negotiator. She led us through the process with impressive knowledge and skill, confidently mediating between ourselves and the other party. And her humour makes every communication a pure delight. From start to finish, the service we received from Coral on the listing of our house and its eventual sale was nothing short of exceptional. Thank you Coral, for making a stressful life transition into a streamlined and satisfying process! We are so pleased to recommend Coral’s real estate services to friends, family and anyone else considering a real estate transaction, and are happy to speak personally to anyone about our endorsement of Coral Gilbert."

Coral always brought an upbeat attitude when we met to see potential homes. The experience of purchasing a home can be stressful, but the knowledge and organizational skills Coral possessed, made the experience comforting.

With very short notice, she took us through virtual showings and prioritized us for the 5 days we had in Victoria to find a home (which we did!). She was extremely responsive, accommodating and generous with her time. When it came down to it, Coral was also a confident negotiator, and provided calm, clear and detailed guidance as we navigated the stressors of a changing market. Along the whole journey and beyond, Coral sent sincere and thoughtful follow-ups, adding a personalized touch to everything she does. She has also continued to provide insightful updates on the real estate market. We would absolutely work with Coral again as a BGRS approved agent and are pleased to recommend her."

We are so happy we chose her. She was efficient, was patient & helped to simplify what seemed difficult for us to understand. As this was our first experience in selling a property, we were unsure of the process. Coral went out of her way to suggest virtual staging of our vacant home & did everything she could to sell our home. We could not be happier and highly recommend her services for any of your real estate needs."

She had it sold in one week. Her attention to detail really helped me get the house ready for showing. The professional photos really looked good as well as the virtual tour. I would highly recommend Coral when it’s time to buy or sell your home."

As first time buyers, we were very nervous, inexperienced, and unsure of the entire process. Thanks to Coral, the purchase was painless and straightforward. Her top notch communication skills had us in the loop for every facet of the purchase, which did wonders to abate any anxiety. Within days of meeting her, she had found a house that met our criteria and we had no idea it was even on the market!
