I happen to meet Ms. Marilynn Kennedy at the time for a house hunt in Nanaimo.  I found the house that I was interested in and I called her on the spot.  She was so kind to meet me at the house arranging her busy schedule in about 20minutes.  That was the first time I met Ms. Kennedy.  She advised me in various aspects regarding the house as well as the market analysis of Nanaimo area.  Since then, Ms Kennedy was so hard working and dillegent
from early morning till late at night even in her holidays.
She meets all the requirements I wanted to have.  I am strongly recommed Ms Kennedy, if you are selling or buying the property.  She will never let you down.
I was so happy working with Ms. Kennedy as the most reliable agent as well as the nice person.
Thank you very much for your service.

We are enjoying working with you.  You are the one who took the time, weeks ago, to answer our e-mail   From there, we took you as the person who was willing to work the details to make something happen.   Thank you for that, whether or not our offer on Girvin works out for us.

Kim and Gary Holman Sold their home on Myles Lake Road

Buying and selling a home can be one of the most nerve racking things a person can encounter.  In fact, I have heard that moving alone is in the top 3 for life stressors.  So needless to say, I was very nervous when we finally made the decision to sell our home.  We had previously started on the path of looking at what was out on the market for a possible family home, and the first one we had driven by had a Realty Executives sign on the lawn with Jason Blanchette?s name and contact number.  My husband phoned the number, and not only did Jason immediately respond to his call, he set up an appointment to look at this particular house instantly.  Jason and his business partner Marilyn Kennedy, showed us many homes that met our criteria, however, we felt that we weren?t ready.  Another season had passed and we felt the itch again, and this time we knew we were ready to take the next step...we wanted to sell our house.  There are so many names and real estate companies out there to choose from, which can be very overwhelming, but we knew in our hearts that we wanted Jason and Marilyn because of their unconditional dedication that they had given us in the past. 

Our home, which we had mixed emotions over selling, was so graciously and sensitively treated and had respectfully sold as a direct result of the care that Jason and Marilynn took to ensure that we had a low stress and extremely positive experience.  The phenomenal coverage and advertising that our home received led to several offers and a smooth sale.  When we are asked by friends and family about the service we received from Jason and Marilyn, words can not describe the personal touch that Jason and Marilyn brought to our lives.  An otherwise stressful and uncertain time of selling and buying a home was transformed into a fun and successful experience for us both.  If you are even thinking of buying or selling a home, we wholeheartedly recommend phoning Jason Blanchette and Marilyn Kennedy today!

 

Sincerely,

Kim & Gary Holman

Bob and Leslie Silverberg - Bought property in Nanaimo to relocate from Ohio, USA
 
            My wife and I first came upon Marilynn Kennedy's name and picture in a local Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce publication, and we were immediately drawn to her kindly, soft face. Residing in a small suburban town between Cleveland and Akron in Ohio, busily engaged in the process of applying for permanent residence in Canada, we had decided to explore housing possibilities in Nanaimo after having first visited Victoria and determining that the real estate in the capital of British Columbia was just too steep for our blood. We called Marilynn and were immediately struck by her warm, engaging manner and the patience and time she took to answer our many questions, all of which served to immediately put us at ease as we pursued our exciting, new adventure. Marilynn communicated with us both by phone and through the internet, e.g., e-mailing us the many photographs and descriptions of homes that were for sale, and by the time we visited Nanaimo for the first time in August, 2005, she had thoroughly familiarized us with the housing market and the different residential areas of the city. Once we arrived in Nanaimo she picked us up at our bed and breakfast and spent many hours and many days taking us around to view the different prospects in the different sections of the city. She was always extremely patient in showing us around, at no time did we ever feel we were being pressured by her to buy a property, she was always most professional and highly knowledgeable, and when it came time to select a home and there were two prospects, she actually advised us that the less expensive of the two represented a much better value, this despite the fact that she would thereby make less of a commission. The fact that Marilynn has lived in Nanaimo all her life makes her especially knowledgeable and astute in regard to historical and current trends in the housing market. It is this finely tuned "sixth sense" of fluctuating market conditions coupled with her warmth and gentleness which has served her and her clients so well in the highly competitive real estate market. When we had to return to Ohio Marilynn was always on top of things in regard to the final inspection of the property and all the other components of the long and arduous closure process, never failing to communicate with us if a problem or situation arose which required our input. Marilynn has been especially helpful after and since we have taken possession of our home, advising us about burglar alarm companies in the area, heating and plumbing contractors, landscapers and the many other myriad and like services required by the new owner of a home. It is precisely this quality of Marilynn that is so rare and precious - her interest in helping you purchase your dream home does not end with the purchase - she doesn't "cut and run," but on the contrary remains your real estate agent and friend for life, quite willing and able to patiently answer the thousand and one questions the new home owner is likely to ask long after he has taken final possession of his property. When you e-mail a question to Marilynn you always receive a very quick reply, and when you call her 800 number you are more than likely to hear her soft and pleasant voice on the other end. My wife and I have just officially become Permanent Residents of Canada, and when we finally make the big move from the United States to beautiful Vancouver Island and our lovely new home, we know that the long and arduous process of relocating from another country and moving into a new home will have been made that much easier because of Marilynn Kennedy's thorough professionalism, incredible expertise and sterling integrity, all coupled with her gentle and compassionate manner.

Lori Ball - re property listed and sold in Nanoose

I have very rarely worked with such a quick-thinking, responsive realtor who considered my needs from the start. Marilyn assessed my situation, my assets, & knew how to best serve me & the buyer. I am so pleased to have met Marilyn & now consider her someone within my circle of expert professionals. Even though I live out of the country, she made it easy to make real estate enquiries through her network & resolve a potentially difficult transaction.

All my thanks to Marilyn for making it so timely, easy, safe, & secure.  I really appreciate all you have done.

With great respect & gratitude,  Lori Ball

 It was 15 years ago that we met Marilynn Kennedy when we came to Nanaimo looking for a new home. We found Marilynn to be professional and a very informative agent during our purchase. Over the years we have kept in contact and two years ago we acquired a duplex for revenue property.  Again without hesitation we called on Marilynn's services to act on our behalf for this purchase. We were comfortable knowing that we could count on Marilynn to keep our best interests at heart. 
 
Our search for the right investment was not an easy task for us and Marilynn had the patience to supply information for us on numerous inquiries. Marilynn was always quick to return calls.
 
We also requested Marilynn's services when we recently purchased our second revenue property. Again we were extremely satisfied with the expedient, professional and no-pressure manor with which  Marilynn conducts her business.
Anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent / Mortgage Broker that they can immediately feel comfortable with  and have the assurance of honesty with a personal touch don't hesitate to contact Marilynn . We highly recommend Marilynn Kennedy .

Gerry and Bev Frederick,  Vancouver Island, B.C.

My wife and I have worked with Marilynn Kennedy over the last several months to find a new home in the Parksville-Nanaimo area.  To say the least, our home, lot and view requirements have been onerous.  Through the entire process Marilynn has been very professional, patient, extremely responsive, and a joy to work with.  Marilynn is available day or night, is very responsive in answering and returning phone calls and is diligent in keeping promises.

Marilynn is very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and is excellent at suggesting different options to approach or resolve various real estate and purchase issues. 

We have both found Marilynn to be open, honest, thorough and informative.  We highly recommend Marilynn to anyone who is looking to either sell or purchase a home.

I traveled to BC with my wife and kids from Ontario in order to get familiar with some cities and the cost of houses.  While in Nanaimo we had the chance to meet with you.  Even when I mentioned to you that at that moment I still did not have a clear picture of what I wanted and I was just exploring, you gave us your time, your experience and your knowledge.

We must confess that we were amazed and very impressed with your service.  Since I had already dealt with real estate agents when I bought my current house, I can tell right away what makes a good realtor.  You are  really the best and I would rush to tell my friends to contact you if buying a house in Nanaimo.

I had counted on several days to learn what I needed to know about houses in Nanaimo.  I did it in a couple of hours.  If we had been ready to make a decision of buying a house that afternon, we would have put an offer in on either of the two homes that we came to view with you without hesitation.  A big thanks from me and my family.

I will be looking forward to count on you if we decide to buy a house in Nanaimo in the future.
