When selling your place, Karen is the realtor you are looking for. She was extremely diligent, straight forward, and helpful, from our first contact till the closing date, making the whole process as easy as it could be. My place stayed in the market for less than 2 weeks, and I've got 3 offers during this time. She advised me on the best offer and my place was sold in just 10 days! My wife and I were totally impressed and thrilled with the results she delivered. Thanks Karen!!

Karen Costa , Sutton WestCoast Realty, made selling our condo worry free. Karen was professional and prepared, she listened to what we wanted from a realtor and she delivered. Karen was responsive to our questions and followed up on our requests quickly and efficiently. She really put extra effort into getting the job done, hosting open houses and using multi-media such as Facebook , Twitter and Craigslist to sell our property. Karen was fantastic to work with, kept us informed throughout the process and sold our property in just a month! We would highly recommend her to friends and family. Thank you Karen!

Being a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and concerns. Karen was there for me through it all - her knowledge, experience, professionalism and willingness to help made my experience a successful one, I am very happy with my new home!
Her dedication and patience are beyond anything I've seen before, we looked at over 40 places together and she was never just trying to make the deal, she was very attentive and would always point out the pros and cons of each one, she actually saved me of making a very bad deal.
She explained the whole process to me and answered all my questions, she read all the papers, came to the house inspection and recommended an excellent broker and notary as well. She still makes herself available to answer any questions or help out.
Karen Costa loves what she does and most importantly, she is very honest and will tell you if there is anything wrong. She also works very hard to find and get you the best deal!
I have no hesitation in recommending Karen, she is the best out there!

She was fantastic at keeping us informed and it was always a pleasure. The extra effort and resourcefulness translated into us buying the right home. We wholeheartedly recommend Karen to anyone who is in the process of purchasing a home."

"Karen represented us in both the purchase of our home and sale of another with a great deal of success. We were very pleased with how attentive and timely she was. We would definitely hire her again."

"It is our great pleasure to recommend Karen Costa as a realtor. Karen is by no means the first realtor with whom we have worked, but she is most certainly the best.
Unlike our previous realtors who were distracted by the busy market, Karen was attentive and offered support and clear-eyed guidance both during showings and in follow-up afterwards. She stayed in touch even when no appropriate homes were available for viewing. She was attentive without pushing us to change our parameters to suit a quicker purchase or being overly solicitous. Karen demonstrated the capacity to actually listen—to our housing needs, concerns, and hopes—a rare gift in a realtor, it seems.
In the home we finally purchased, Karen never judged our need for information and took up our many concerns and queries with the surliest of vendor realtors and a grumpy building manager. She read all of the strata minutes and by-laws, pointing out potential problems as well apparent strengths. Karen offered a voice of calm reason in the face of our own stressful decision-making, the pressure of the vendor’s realtor, and the demands of the market. We always felt that we were “in the driver’s seat”, but Karen proved an invaluable navigator in the often challenging journey of home buying. We love our new place! Thank-you Karen!

Karen helped me to get the best price for my property. Thank you Karen for your dedicated assistance in finding my new home!"
--Mariana Garcia (Downtown Vancouver)
"Karen is a dedicated realtor, she helped me start looking for a property last summer and I found a place somewhere on my first viewing a couple of months later. I had a specific set of requirements and she did a good job of finding properties that met those requirements. I never felt like I was being pushed into looking at properties and was always kept up to date on the progress of things without excessive phone calls & emails. During the final negotiations she was able to bring the price down lower than I even expected we could get. I have recommended her to a couple of friends and will do business with her again in the future."
