Over the last few years I have worked for Carlson Marketing Group to elaborate client loyalty programs for companies ranging from small (less then 20 employees) to international (Bombardier, Pfizer). This experience has allowed me to perfect my interpersonal relationship management skills. My work consisted in understanding clients needs and required that I be an excellent negotiator to ensure the satisfaction of all the parties involved I also studied in advanced programming and web development; this has been an asset in understanding how to use technology to reach a growing number of the consumers population, which relies solely on the Web to access the goods they seek. To summarize, my experience as a real estate agent has taught me how important it is to sellers and buyers, to be properly prepared and advised during the sale or purchase of their home. Property represents a very important part of most peoples financial assets whether it be an investment or their home. It is therefore imperative that your agent take the time to make sure you are informed of your rights and obligations, and are comfortable and aware of all the steps involved with the selling and buying process. See what my clients say about my services What my clients are saying... Dear Valerie, We've been working together on my little Montréal real estate dream for over 2 months, now that the deal is closed I like to send you this little note. Your professional insight in the market has proven to be very valuable. But foremost I appreciated your flexibility and I enjoyed working with your energetic personality. See you at my housewarming party! Kind regards, Tom Paemeleire 28-10-04 Valerie has been an amazing support in my recent search for, and purchase of, a small income property. As an agent she is professional, knowledgeable, thorough and organized; as a person she is energetic, caring, honest and fun! Her youthful, determined attitude made this transaction feel like an adventure and I have already recommended her services to friends and colleagues. I can't begin to explain how different my dealings with her have been in comparison to other agents. We will certainly be doing business together again in the not too distant future... Thanks for holding all of those pages for me Valerie! Sincerely, Heather Johnson Montreal October 21, 2004 Valerie is an exceptional real estate agent. As a first time buyer I needed a lot of hand holding through the process. I was clueless. Valerie made the process smooth and fun. I always felt confident in her abilities to guide me through the process. She was very patient, knowledgeable, confident, and tireless in her efforts to find us the right place for us. I would recommend Valerie to anyone looking for an agent who makes an effort to understand your needs and work with you towards your goal of home ownership. Hope you're doing well Valerie. Take care, Stephanie Montreal 23, June ,2004 Valérie Girard a relevé avec brio le défi de vendre notre condominium. Très bien situé face au carré Saint-Louis, notre propriété avait quand même ses petites « particularités » : besoin d'un peu de rénovations, pas de cour privée, et pas libre avant 2005, en raison de la présence d'un locataire. Valérie Girard a trouvé exactement le profil d'acheteur qu'il nous fallait et a su faire preuve de beaucoup de tact et de diplomatie pour ne pas trop bousculer la vie quotidienne de notre locataire durant la période des visites. L'acheteuse est tombée en amour avec notre condo et nous avons finalement eu d'avantage que le prix demandé. Un match parfait ! Catherine Dubé et François Gosselin Agent 001 I want to thank you for the good service you provided me with, while looking for an apartment. It was a pleasure working with you. You were there for me from the first minute to the last and even after. I really appreciated your support and your help for my renovation. I am looking forward to do some business with you again. I can assure you I will recommend you to whoever is looking for a good agent. Truly Yours G Labonte April 10/2004 Montreal March 2, 2004 Attention: To anyone seeking to purchase a new home in Montreal, please contact Miss Valerie Girard. She was instrumental in helping us with the search and negotiation of our condo. My wife and I found Miss Girard to be professional, honest and caring. She is an excellent agent and we are happy to recommend her services to anyone in need of assistance, so much so that she is currently working with one of our sons with the purchase of another property. We are thrilled with both our new home and the relationship with our new agent. Peter Chen |
